Title:Simple Words

Word: Diamond

Request by: Xx Tohru xXx Seraphina xX

A diamond was a treasured gemstone. The word originally coming from the Ancient Greek word adamas. They were once used in India as religious icons and engraving tools far back in history. Now they are used for jewelry, worn on rings, on the ears, on wrists.

As Hikaru looked through many displays of the percious stone, he could not find one precious enough to give to the person who brightened his day in a way that no one else ever could. Someone so precious to him that he wanted to spend forever with. Finally, after hours of searching, he found just the thing he was looking for. He now anticipated seeing her reaction when he got down on one knee and showed her the ring.

Haruhi looked through her closet, trying to find something to wear. He had told her to dress nicely because he was taking her to dinner and that he had a suprise for her. She had no idea what he was up to or what the suprise could be, but she had no reason to doubt it was any thing bad. In the past six years that they had been together, she had to admit he had changed quite a bit, matured a bit more. She knew that she too had changed in the few years that had passed.

That night he took her to eat dinner in the garden of his mansion. He made sure that every thing was perfect for that night and his brother assured him he would let no one disturb them. The table was placed in the center of a large gazebo surrounded by lights and roses of different colors. In the middle of the table stood a small vase with four deep red roses and one rainbow rose. They each took a seat and the waiters appeared with their food and drink.

The two ate and chatted for a while, happy in each others company. Though, in the middle of dinner, Haruhi noted that Hikaru seemed a bit nervous but decided it best to wait for him to tell her rather than pry. Just as they finished dessert, Hikaru cleared his throat and Haruhi at him with her concerned brown eyes.

"Haruhi, I have some thing to ask you?" He said.

"What is it?"

"Well, you know how we've been together for six years now," Hikaru began to play with a purple petal of the rainbow rose.

"Hikaru, are you okay?" She asked looking rather worried. He looked up from staring at the rose and smiled at her.

"I'm fine Haruhi. It's just that...here," Hikaru took the rainbow rose out of the vase and carefully handed it to her across the table. Suprised, Haruhi gently took the rose from his hand and looked at it. There, in between the petals of the rose was a diamond ring with two hearts on the band on either side of the diamond which stood in the center of the silver band.

"Haruhi, will you marry me?" Hikaru took the ring from the rose and placed it on her finger.

She sat there looking at the ring on her finger for what seemed like an eternity to him, which in reality was only a few seconds. Those were the longest few seconds of his life. Finally, Haruhi looked away from the ring to him right in front of her on one knee looking rather worried and nervous. She smiled and immediatly kissed him on the lips.

"Yes, I'll marry you."

He stood up, bringing her with him and brought her into a proper kiss during which the rainbow rose dropped back onto the table next to the vase and a glass of wine. Music could be heard in the background along with someone letting out his breathe and saying, "It's about time." Before he disappeared back into the house to let his brother and his now fiancee have their privacy.

1.)I rather enjoyed writing this, I got so caught up with the story that I forgot I was even writing it. Hope every one else thought it was okay.

2.) Just to clarify, rainbow roses do actually exist just in cases a few of you weren't aware of it. I read an article on how they made them like that the other day. Look it up if you don't believe me. They're very pretty too.

3.) This will be the last one I work on before I leave for my little vacation. I will try to update again soon if I get the chance. But most likely there may not be an update for the next week or two.

You may keep sending words while I am gone and I will get to them as soon as I return. Take care my dears and thank you for reading.
