Chapter 5: The Proposal
It's been five months since Ayano and Kazuma were living in the villa. Changes in Ayano's tummy is very noticeable, it grew large! Kazuma took super extra care with her every move and what she eats. You might think it's annoying, but for Ayano, it's very sweet and caring of her husband to be. Kazuma didn't mind the sudden change in her attitude and moods, he knows it comes with her pregnancy and he can bear it.
One time Kazuma sprayed his favorite perfume scent on his shirt before him and Ayano went out for dinner, when he came to her side, her expression got twisted and she vomited right on his arm! He didn't get mad at her or anything. He called Rin to assist her to sit while he quickly changed into another shirt without any spray of perfume. Even Kazuma's teasing aura with Ayano changed. That's a good thing. He's readying his self to be a father, so he's rope of patience is longer than before.
"Good morning, my queen" Kazuma greeted while he's enjoying a cup of coffee once Ayano entered their kitchen. "Queen?" Ayano smirked and gave him a weird look as she sat beside him. "Oh come on. Don't give me that weird look of yours, it doesn't suit you" he joked as he pinched her cheek lightly. "Before I was your princess, but now, your queen?" she asked surprisingly. Kazuma smirked, "You're my queen, and our twins are the prince and princess. Geez. Even your pregnancy affects your common sense" then kissed her forehead. She laughed, "I didn't realize that, sorry". He smirked, "You want a coffee? Wait. I'll make one for you" he said and grabbed a cup. Ayano smiled as she watched him stirring gently, as if the coffee he's making worth his life. (AU: LOL. Sorry for the exaggeration, I'm just too happy. xD)
One of their maids entered the kitchen. "Miss Ayano, your friends are waiting outside. They've come to—"Misha said but was cut-off when Ayano hurriedly walked outside the kitchen to the front porch. Kazuma sweat-dropped "Her childish acts never seem to change". Misha just smiled when Rin entered the kitchen. "Sir Kazuma, we should begin our plans now that her friends have come to entertain her" she said. "Yes you're right, Rin. Please, begin now with Misha. I'll just follow her for a moment" Kazuma said as he walked to where Ayano and her friends are.
"You're looking good, Kazuma" Nanase greeted as he stood behind Ayano. He smiled, "My wife to be is taking good care of me, thanks to her". "OH…" Yukari muttered cheerfully. Ayano laughed, "Oh no, he's the one who's been taking care of me ever since". "As long as both of you are doing well, we'll be alright, right Yukari?" Nanase said. Yukari nodded, "As long as you're super in love with each other and the flame of your love doesn't blow off!". Ayano and Nanase sweat dropped by Yukari's expression while Kazuma just smirked. "Please, excuse me guys. I have important things to do" Kazuma said and he went off. Ayano stared at his walking figure, "I didn't know he'll be doing something important today" she thought. "When did Kazuma turned into a workaholic guy?" Nanase asked. Ayano smiled, "Just today". Nanase and Yukari looked at each other. "Hey Ayano, are the rooms for your babies are done?" Yukari asked to change the topic and she knows it will brighten her face. As she expected Ayano's eyes glimmer with joy, "Oh yes! I want to show it to you guys! Let's go!" she said and grabbed her best friends hands.
"Wow! This room is beautiful!" Yukari exclaimed. The room has pink walls and girly stuffs. It's the room for Ayano's baby girl. "This room is bigger than mine!" Nanase added. "Kazuma and I decorated this room with the help of our maids" Ayano said as she sat on the rocking chair beside a crib. "So, do you have a name for her?" Yukari asked. "Hm… Not at the moment, but we're still thinking about it" she replied. Nanase sat on the bed "I bet she'll definitely look just like her mother". "You think so?" Ayano said. "Yes. And she'll have you fire artist power" Yukari added. Ayano laughed, "Wow. I hope you're right guys".
The next room they went in is Ayano's baby boy's room. Its walls have blue paint and the things inside the room are robots, toy cars and the like. "Really, will your baby boy be able to play with all these stuff? It's uncountable!" Nanase commented as she took a look at a toy car. Yukari and Ayano sweat dropped. "It's Kazuma's idea to buy toys for the babies. He said it will make them happy and they will learn faster" Ayano explained as she took a kiddy book on the shelf at the corner of the room. "Just make sure your babies will be able to be pulled off in front of their toys once you called them" Nanase added. "I'm sure they will, Nanase" Yukari said. "I'm hungry. Let's have a snack downstairs" Ayano said and the three of them went in the kitchen.
"I wonder where Rin and Misha are… They should be preparing our snack for this afternoon. Oh well, what do you want to eat guys?" Ayano said as she wore the apron. "Is it really okay for you to cook for us?" Yukari asked worriedly. She laughed, "Of course, I need practice. So I can cook well for my children". Nanase smiled. Ayano ended up baking a chocolate banana pie, as to what her best friends requested.
*At the Jewelry Store*
"This should look good on your fiancée" the jewelry staff said and handed a diamond ring to Kazuma. He took a very good look at the ring. It's a simple yet elegant looking ring. After a minute of inspection, "I'll take this. Please wrap it in the most beautiful box you have" and he smiled. The jewelry staff nodded. His phone vibrated, a text message from Rin: "Sir, we're on our way home. We got the dress you're talking about". He smiled and put his phone in his pocket.
*Back at the villa*
Ayano's best friends went home an hour ago. She's getting suspicious of Kazuma and their maids. She looked at their wall clock in the living room. "It's past 7 p.m. where could all of them be? How can they leave a pregnant woman alone in an enormous mansion 'till dark?" she thought as she sat on the couch. The door opened, she got nervous. But it's only Rin and Misha. She stood from her seat, "Where have the two of you been? Didn't you know I was all alone?" she said sternly. "We're sorry Miss Ayano. We got this as for Sir Kazuma's wish. He said we should give this to you and you should wear it once you received it" Misha explained while bowing. "He also said you must go in the gazebo afterwards" Rin added. Ayano was stopped for a moment, "W-Wait a second. What's the meaning of all these?" she asked. "We're sorry but we're not to tell. Just please do what we said Miss Ayano!" Rin said. Ayano's eyes widen, "O-Okay. I'm on it" she said and went to change.
Once she got in the gazebo, she found Kazuma on his formal attire with a bouquet of rose for her with matching some orchestra people to play some soothing romantic music for them. There's also a table set for two with candles to be the light source. He smiled at her so handsomely, "You look more beautiful tonight" and gently handed her the bouquet. She smiled, "What's with your romantic acts?" she asked. He just smirked, "Wait a minute". He guided her on her seat. He stood in front of her.
"I haven't proposed to you properly. So give me this night to do so" Kazuma said smiling. Then he knelt before her. She was stopped for a moment, just contented to watch Kazuma move. "Ayano Kannagi, I love you from the beginning and will always love you 'till the end. I'm ready to be your punching bag whenever you feel like hitting someone just to make yourself feel relax," Kazuma begin. Ayano laughed a bit by his words 'I'm ready to be your punching bag whenever you feel like hitting someone just to make yourself feel relax' and stared at his handsome face. "I'm always here for you, my queen" he got the box and opened it to reveal a diamond ring. "Ayano Kannagi, will you be glad to be Mrs. Ayano Yagami?... Will you marry me?" Kazuma said with all sincerity with his voice, never leaving Ayano's gaze.
She grinned so widely. Unable to describe the great feeling she's having at the moment. "Yes, Kazuma. Yes, I will marry you!" Ayano exclaimed as she hugged him then properly faced him. He gently put the ring on her delicate finger. She hugged him once more, and he lifted her up in the air. The couple was too happy at the moment. They kissed and kissed. "Wow. You're heavy…" Kazuma said as he still holding her up. She laughed, "I'm sorry, I have our babies with me. Bear with it, okay?" she said. He smiled and kissed her on the forehead. When they finished eating, they laid on the cloth on the grass under the sky. They talked and looked at millions of stars above them, while their hands are entwined with each other. He stared at her face. She turned to look at him. "What's the matter?" she asked. He smiled, "I love you so much, Ayano". She can't help but to blush. She huddled close to him, "I love you too much, Kazuma". She smiled as Kazuma leaned to capture her lips with a passionate kiss.
