The next morning Setsuna and Konoka awoke more or less looking like they did asleep. The two were still holding on to each other as Setsuna stirred. She tried her best not to wake Konoka as she got up. Setsuna slowly slid out from behind Konoka. Setsuna watched Konoka as she still slept in peace. She smiled as Konoka stretched a bit and then fell back asleep. Setsuna decided to cook up something for them to eat. As she went into the kitchen she threw on one of Konoka's outfits. It fit well and looked good on her. It was at this point that Konoka woke up and spoke to her. "Good morning Se-chan. You look good in that outfit." Konoka got out of bed and walked over to Setsuna and gave her a kiss. She smiled at Setsuna and went to get dressed.
"So Se-chan what are we going to do today?" Konoka asked in a slight giggle. "Are we going to go out or stay here all day trying various things out?" The last part of that she said with a sly smile. Setsuna smiled at the last comment and then replied. "A little of both, I was thinking we might go to Harajuku and do something together after which we can come back here and spend the rest of the day pleasuring each other." The look in Setsuna's eyes was one of slight mischief and happiness. She had meant what she said.
The two of them finished breakfast and got ready to go to Harajuku. It was a bright, warm day out as they walked across campus to catch a train into Tokyo. When they got into Harajuku the first thing they did was to decide where to go. "Hey Se-chan," Konoka said, "Let's go to a lingerie shop and get something sexy." Setsuna almost fell over when Konoka said that. Setsuna wasn't one for purposefully wearing lingerie, every time she had it was because of someone making her wear it. "O-of course Kono-chan." Setsuna said with a slight stutter. It would be embarrassing to be caught by one of her classmates in one of those shops but Setsuna wanted Konoka to have the best day of her life today. AS they walked around looking for the right shop Setsuna noticed how happy Konoka looked. 'Konoka seems to be so happy. I wish she could be like this all the time.' Setsuna thought to herself. She realized then that being around Konoka made her happy as well. She wished there was a way to make it always like this. Setsuna knew there was but it wasn't really accepted in polite society. The only real answer to this was to marry Konoka but in order to do this Setsuna would have to have the permission of the Headmaster or Eishun. She sighed and then thought to herself, 'I should ask her first and see what she thinks of the idea and then tell Elder Eishun my intentions.' Setsuna had decided one thing; she would propose to Konoka by the end of the weekend. She wasn't going to wait and possibly miss the only chance she would have to do it.
They finally found a store as Setsuna came out of her own thoughts. "Here it is Se-chan." Konoka said with a tone of excitement. Setsuna looked at the building and noticed the name of the shop. It read, "Lingerie Heaven." Underneath that was, "We have everything you could possibly want or dream about." Setsuna smiled and then was pulled into the shop by Konoka. Setsuna stood near the entrance to the store and watched as Konoka went looking around. "Hey, Se-chan come here and see what you think of this." Konoka said with a smile. Setsuna walked over to her and saw her holding up a very revealing little outfit that was black and had lace for trim."Y-you'd look good in that Kono-chan" Setsuna had to force out. The mere thought of Konoka wearing that turned her on, making it hard to focus on what she wanted to say. "Ok Se-chan I'll get it and I'll wear it for you later tonight." Konoka said and with that smiled and walked up to the counter and bought the item. They continued to shop around Harajuku for the rest of the afternoon. Setsuna was noticing more and more how she enjoyed being with Konoka. She was going to ask her the question that was burning in her mind since earlier that day. Setsuna was going to gather her nerve and ask Konoka to marry her.
They stopped to get something to eat and as they sat down Setsuna began to speak. "Konoka-chan, I've got something I want to tell you. For a while now I've been in love with you and you already know that but now I want it to be more than just us being a dating couple." As she spoke, Setsuna found it easier to speak with each word coming out. She continued from the bottom of her heart. "Konoka, would you…marry me?" That last sentence was spoken with absolute seriousness. Setsuna meant it and Konoka could see that. Konoka sat for a moment taking in the question. Then she replied in a soft tone. "Of course I will Se-chan. Nothing could make me happier."
(Sorry for leaving it as a bit of a cliffhanger but if it weren't for that kind of thing stories wouldn't be as interesting. Thanks to all who wrote reviews for this. The next chapter will be up hopefully a little faster than this one.)
