Day 2 of Souharu week! Numbers and Space!


"I don't know what to do." Sousuke sighed, hooking the guys arm around his back, as Rin did the same with his.

"It's gotta be special." Rin replied, clapping the handcuffs on his perp. "I mean you've been together for five years."

"I know but what?" Sousuke dragged his screaming perp over, "I mean this is Haru we're talking about."

"True, maybe a mackerel cake?" Rin suggested as he threw his catch in the back of the police car.

"How are you still single?" Sousuke mocked, arm on the top of the car as the other was pushing the caught man in the face.

"I have no idea." Rin spoke cockily, turning the key in the engine. They drove back to the station, coming up with suggestion after suggestion but nothing that made Sousuke excited. The boys were writing up the report, Sousuke doing little of the work, his mind thousands of miles away. Rin nudged his partner and laughed as Sousuke's head slipped from his hand and hit the table. Sousuke punched Rin hard and the red head stopped laughing and winced.

"Sousuke you have to concentrate on the report."

"I can't." Sousuke shook his head. "It's in two days! And I've got nothing!"

"What's in two day?" A curious voice filled their conversation.

"Haru and Sousuke anniversary is in two days and big boy is having a break down." Rin waved his hand lazily at Momo who was sitting across from them.

"I'm not having a break down." Sousuke scowled. "Haru is hard to buy for."

"You're telling me." Rin agreed, remembering spending days at the shopping centre with Nitori trying to find a gift for the raven haired man.

"So what should I do?" Sousuke pleaded with his partner.

"He's not my boyfriend." Rin breathed out thankfully, "You're on your own."

"No help." Sousuke rolled his eyes and began to prepare himself to be slaughtered by his boyfriend in two days.

"How many years will it be?" Momo piped up.

"Five."

"You need to do something special, crazy, out of this world. You need to let the world know that you love Haru-senpai."

Sousuke hummed in agreement, his brain ticking away, a plan was coming together. He began to grin and cheered silently inside. He went over to Momo and picked him up.

"You're a genius." Sousuke thanked, putting him down and grabbing his hat and waving them goodbye. "Thanks Momo!"

"You're welcome." He cocked a brow, turning to Rin. "What did I do?"

"Who knows." Rin shrugged, turning back to the computer screen, typing away.

Sousuke jumped into his car and dialled a number, waiting patiently for the answer on the other side.

"Dr Ryuugazaki's office, how can I help?"

"Hey, could I speak to Rei please?"

"Sorry, it's appointments only. Can I make you one?"

"It's kinda urgent." Sousuke frowned, "Can I just talk to him for a minute."

"I'm sorry sir, but he's busy at the moment, I can make you an appointment for tomorrow."

"Alright." Sousuke sighed.

"How's one o'clock?"

"Fine, thank you." Sousuke hung up the phone and picked up some take out before heading home. He opened the door to Haru's house where he had been living since finishing high school. Haruka had offered him a room since he was working at the local swimming club with Coach Goro and was in need of some shelter. Haru was a good roommate, he was clean, he could cook and was pretty quiet. He wasn't home much, mostly down by the cafe he worked at part time. Haru had decided against swimming competitively with Rin and chose to follow his own interests of cooking. Of course Sousuke didn't mind being his taste tester, considering everything Haru made was delicious. Since Sousuke had injured his shoulder beyond repair, he stuck to teaching kids to swim. After finding out Haru had decided against swimming competitively, Rin couldn't find the motivation to continue on with him. The three of them had gone to the local university for careers day and the police academy booth had pulled both Rin and Sousuke over. They signed up and before they knew it they had graduated top of their classes, became partners and were number one officers at the Iwatobi police station. Haru opened his own cafe and hired Nagisa and Nitori to work there. By then Haru and Sousuke had began dating.

"Haru, you home?" Sousuke called out as his slipped his boots off, heading to the kitchen. "Guess not."

Sousuke plated up their dinner, lighting a single candle and sat patiently for Haruka to return. He waited about five minutes when the front door opened and Haru poked his head around the wall and a small smile spread across his face. He walked over to Sousuke, pressing a peck onto his head, before sitting opposite him and thanking him for the meal.

"How was work?" Haru asked.

"Pretty good, we busted some kids trying to break into some house."

"Eventful."

"You could say that." Sousuke chuckled. "How was your day?"

"Boring." Haru sighed.

"Is Nagisa working tomorrow?" Sousuke asked, trying to act casual. Haru's eyebrow popped up nevertheless.

"No, why?"

"No reason, you just complain about how he slows you down." Sousuke thanked himself for the save. Haruka hummed, eyeing the boy suspiciously before shrugging and continued eating.


The next day Sousuke left for his day of work, not before receiving a kiss and a daily reminder not to do anything dangerous and most importantly not to die. Sousuke chuckled every time, reassuring the raven haired man that he'd come back in one piece.

"Oi, where are you going?" Rin snapped as Sousuke made his way to leave.

"I've got an appointment." Sousuke patted Rin on the head. "Don't wait up for me."

Rin swatted at his partner and shooed him away. Sousuke laughed, bidding him and Momo goodbye and headed over to local observatory where Rei had began working at after his graduated University. He headed inside, asking someone the directions to Rei's office. He made his way noting the desk in front of the huge doors Rei was currently behind. He approached the desk where the lady from yesterday was typing away on the computer.

"Hello, I have an appointment."

"Of course, I'll just let him know you're here." She pressed the buzzer on the phone, waiting for Rei's voice.

"Who is it?" A singsong voice came through, Sousuke recognising the voice as Nagisa. Rei confirmed Sousuke's guess when he shooed Nagisa away.

"Sir, your next appointment is here."

"Ooo who is it?" Nagisa somehow managed to get to the phone again.

"Sousuke." Sousuke announced, chuckling slightly as Nagisa yelped and heard a crash.

"Let him in." Rei's voice spoke, a little out of breath. The lady opened the door for Sousuke and he went inside, greeting Rei with a nod and Nagisa with a unwilling hug. He sat next to Nagisa at Rei's desk.

"How can I help?" Rei asked, clasping his hands together.

"I was wondering if we could talk privately." Sousuke eyed the blonde boy, who was listening intently to every word that popped from his mouth.

"Aw, Sou-chan." Nagisa pouted. "I want to help."

Sousuke sighed and decided to let Nagisa say. "Well, Haru and I's anniversary is tomorrow and I was hoping you could help me with an idea I came up with?"

"What is it?"

"To write I love Haruka Nanase on the moon." Sousuke mentally slapping himself, sounding how ridiculous it sounded out loud.

"That is sooooo romantic!" Nagisa cooed. Sousuke noticed Rei hadn't said anything, his mind was ticking over, eyes narrowed in concentration.

"I'm guessing we can't do it?"

"Of course Rei-chan can." Nagisa turned to his boyfriend. "With the lasers and that."

"That was not the created purpose for them." Rei noticed Sousuke deflate and sighed in defeat and Nagisa looked sternly at him. "I suppose I could test them out."

Sousuke's head snapped up and he grinned widely at Rei. "Are you serious?"

Rei nodded and was taken aback as Sousuke leaned over the desk and hugged him. Sousuke sat back down, flushing and quietly thanked him.

"Just so you know, it'll only last about six seconds so we'll have to get the timing right."

The three of them sat there planning and discussing what was to happen and the three of them smiled at one another. Sousuke and Nagisa left Rei and headed out to find Haru the perfect present.


That morning Sousuke woke to an empty bed and frowned slightly knowing Haruka wasn't in his arms. He groggily made his way downstairs, his nose filled with a delicious scent. He turned the corner and found Haru, placing two plates of what looked like the most appetizing and beautiful food Sousuke had ever seen. "Haru?"

"Morning." Haruka made his way over, placing his arms over Sousuke shoulder, kissing his boyfriend on the lips. "Happy Anniversary."

Haru pulled the sleepy teal eyed man over to the table, "You didn't have to do this."

"Don't be silly." Haru sat opposite him. "Eat up."

They eat together, Sousuke silent as his stuffed his mouth. Sousuke finished, patting his stomach. "That was amazing!"

"Thanks." Haru smiled, raising himself from the table grabbing something from the shelf.

"What's that?" Sousuke asked curiously.

"Your present." Haruka explained, passing it over. Sousuke opened it and gasped at what he saw.

"Haru, do you know how expensive this is?"

"I bought it didn't I?" Haru rolled his eyes. Sousuke gently lifted the watch he had his eye on for months now. He clasped it on his wrist and let a huge grin cover his features. He jumped on Haru and peppered kisses all over his face, causing Haru to giggle.

"You're the best." Sousuke announced, picking up Haru bridal style, making his way back upstairs.

"Where are we going?"

"Bed." Sousuke whispered seductively.


Sousuke had Haru blindfolded as he led Haruka out of the house, to the landing where Haru had once caught Nagisa trying to camp out.

"Where are we going?" Haru asked, arms out, trying to feel his way. Sousuke took the blind fold off and Haru's eyes widen and he let out a little gasp. His hand went to his heart and he walked over to the red picnic blanket laid out where a few candle were lit. His head tilted slightly in confusion at the telescope that was placed to the side. Sousuke wrapped his arms around Haru and leaned his chin on the raven haired mans head. "It's beautiful."

Haru noticed Sousuke checking his new watch every few minutes. Haru turned in his arms and poked the taller man on the nose. "What's going on?"

"I er." Sousuke stuttered, checking his watch again. "Look into the telescope."

Haruka walked over to the telescope suspiciously, placing one eye over the lens. "The moon."

"Yeah, just wait." Sousuke called a little awkwardly.

Haru waited, "Nothings happeni-" Haru instantly shut up as lines began to appear. His eye slowly began to widen as the words 'I Love Haruka Nanase' appeared out of nowhere and after several seconds disappeared again. Haruka moved away, still processing what he saw, slowly turning and gasping as he glanced down and found Sousuke, kneeling on one knee, flushing red and holding out a little violet box.

"Haruka Nanase. Will you marry me?" Sousuke asked confidently, opening the box, revealing a beautiful white gold band. Haru's eyes glistened and he nodded, unable to speak. Sousuke rose up, grabbing the ring from the box and gently placing the ring on Haru's finger. Haruka leaped on Sousuke, hugging him tightly.

"I love you." Haru whispered.

"I love you too." Sousuke smiled, holding the love of his life closely.
