The Next Day...

"Oh ho ho ho…what's this?" the pigtailed haired woman held up a box with her pointing finger and her thumb. Konoka paled but then blushed at the sight of the box. She quickly went over to snatch it away but Asuna held the box above her reach and read it out loud.

"Chocolate flavored? What were you two doing last night huh?" Asuna laughed as Konoka tried to grab the box before someone walked in or even heard them.

"Asuna! Give me that!!!" Asuna ran and stood on the couch and held it higher.

"No way! I'm going to run around with this proclaiming that you and Setsuna actually did it! I can't believe that you of all people actually used this!" Asuna jumped off the couch and made a run for the door but she was tackled to the ground before she could reach the doorknob.

"Wow I wonder if Setsuna has to deal with this kind of treatment when you get flustered." Asuna mused as she rested her cheek into the palm of her left hand while her right dangled the empty box above them. "I had no idea that you were the S&M type Konoka."

Konoka looked horrified.

"Asuna!!!"

"Okay! Okay I give. Here." A certain sparkle caught the eyes of the teasing girl and then in a second those eyes grew twice its size.

"Konoka…is that…is that a ring?!" Asuna pulled the healer's left hand to her face and examined the golden ring adorned with a decent sized diamond in the middle with two smaller identical diamonds on either side of it. She looked up credulously at her roommate and held her hand in front of her face.

"When did you get this?!" Konoka blushed as she pulled her hand away from Asuna's grasp and played with her new gift. She held the box up next to the ring and let Asuna put two and two together. When she realized what Konoka was implying her eyes bulged out of her head.

"She asked you when you guys were having se-"

"SAKURAZAKI SETSUNA!!! COME BACK HERE!!!"

"NO! LEAVE ME ALONE!!!"

Konoka and Asuna gave each other looks before they both ran to the door. Konoka had thrown the box on her bed before she followed her roommate out the door. There the two of them witnessed Setsuna being chased by Kaede, Haruna, and well a little over half of their classmates. Off to the side stood an amused Mana, an embarrassed Nodoka, and a rather nonchalant but interested Yue. Zazie, Chisame, Ayaka, Chizuru, Natsumi, Satsuki, Chachamaru, and Evangeline were also watching from the sidelines.

Haruna skidded to a stop as she noticed Konoka standing there. She squinted her eyes for a second before they became wide again.

"Hey Konoka's got a ring too!!!"

"Ah so Setsuna did propose." Mana stated. She had gone with the swordswoman to help choose a ring but no one knew that.

"Kono-chan! Get back in the room!" Setsuna ran towards her fiancée, dived inside the room, and kicked the door closed. She jumped back up just to lock the door.

"Setsuna! You can't hide forever! We're going to get a hold of you and then chain you up and torture you til you fess up! Asuna I order you to open this door!" Asuna looked appalled at the tone Haruna dared to take on her.

"Hell no! Because of that I'm not going to take any part in helping you!" She locked the deadbolt and then strode further into her room. There she found Setsuna sprawled out on the floor panting heavily.

"You okay Secchan?" Konoka held a glass of water next to the swordswoman who took it gratefully and drank it in one gulp.

"I'm fine now." The two shared a short but loving look before Asuna cleared her throat loudly.

"By the looks of it, it would seem that you two had a very Happy Christmas. Care to enlighten me as to how it went?" Asuna sat on the couch with one leg over the other, elbow on the armrest, and her head in her palm.

Setsuna groaned and hung her head while Konoka blushed and glared playfully at the expectant girl.

"Well since you want to know so badly…" The swordswoman's eyes shot up in shock and her face turned red in a flash.

Five minutes later Asuna's face matched Setsuna's.
