For J, graduation was just around the corner…

Being so busy with paperwork, exams, and such, J hasn't had enough time to spend with Hayakawa these last few weeks…not to mention that Hayakawa seems to be planning something, and is unavailable lately.

J sighs as he completes another stack of paperwork. 'I miss him…' but he shakes his head, 'No! You can do this! You have to graduate so you can marry him!'

Refocusing on work, J, with a determined face, completes stack after stack of paperwork.


Meanwhile…

Hayakawa was visiting the greenhouse…which was unusual for him.

"I heard from Haruto that you're good with flowers," Hayakawa says.

Hikari nods, "What do you want?"

"A mix of roses… I plan on proposing to J properly," he answers honestly.

Nodding, Hikari looks at the thornless roses, "Hm…" and picks a red rose, white rose, pink rose, orange rose, lavender rose, and a rare blue rose. He ties them into a bundle and wraps them in a plastic covering.

"They're beautiful," Hayakawa smiles, "I know a red rose means "I love you" but the others…"

"A white rose means charm and purity. Pink rose means gratitude. Orange means passion and desire. Lavender means "love at first sight", and blue…means obtaining the impossible… a miracle," Hikari explains.

Hayakawa nods, "That's our relationship to a T. Thank you."

Hikari nods, "No problem… May you two be happy."

Hayakawa walks away, carrying the rose bouquet, smiling as his plan for J's graduations comes into fruition.


Upon the graduation day…

J finally graduated, holding his diploma. Of course, there was a party at Café de Wayne.

With the festivities, Hayakawa hands J a bouquet of mixed roses. J smiles and sniffs them. The sweet smell tickling his nose.

It was then that Hayakawa presented J with a black box, "J… This is where we first met, and…"

J blushes as he knew what was going to happen next, swiftly interrupting him, "Yes."

He laughs, "I haven't even asked yet…"

"I know what you're going to ask…it's still yes, Hayakawa-san," J smiles as he hands the bouquet over to Tenna.

"I'm glad then," Hayakawa smiles as he opens the box and puts a platinum ring on J's finger before putting on his own.

"The marriage application's at home though," J shakes his head.

"We'll fill it out later…" Hayakawa says as he hugs J, "And J…"

"Hm?"

"Happy birthday…and congrats on graduating."

J smiles as he hugs back, "Thank you…for everything."

They kiss, both saying, "I love you," as everyone cheers.


When the two went home, they did fill out the application, and a month later…got their marriage licenses and certificates.

'We're marred…finally!' they both have this thought as they enjoy a week off for their honeymoon.
