Setting: Mai Otome universe
"Shizuru, did you sleep with her...Tomoe...tell me the truth. Did...you...sleep...with her?!" Natsuki growled, as she had both of her hands placed by either side of Shizuru's head, where she had the chestnut-haired woman pressed hard against her office wall.
Shizuru felt her mouth fall slightly open in shock at how swiftly Natsuki had moved to pin her against the wall, and she was even more surprised at the sudden subject matter.
"Natsuki..." Shizuru started to say, only to have Natsuki cut her off.
"Don't you dare lie to me about this either, Shizuru. I can always tell when you're not telling the full truth about something. You know that the masks you put up for everyone else to see long lost any effect they may have had on me. So please...I'm asking...no begging you...tell me the truth...even if it hurts...I need to know what really happened between you and Tomoe that day," Natsuki shut her eyes as a pained look came over her face.
Shizuru felt her heart breaking at the look, and she reached forward to gently and lovingly run her fingers through her love's midnight-blue hair. Shizuru then leaned forward and pressed her lips against Natsuki's ear as she whispered softly, "Natsuki my one and only true love, I did not sleep with Tomoe. I never could do something like that. Not to you, or to myself."
As Shizuru leaned back, Natsuki allowed her eyes to open and she looked with intense-green eyes into Shizuru's burgundy ones. "You're telling the truth," Natsuki sighed with relief, as she watched a tender smile come to Shizuru's lips, as the tawny-haired woman reached her hand down from Natsuki's hair to gently cup her cheek.
"Of course I am, my love. The only thing that Tomoe and I did that day was...strange...to say the least. She had all of these baby toys and children's items brought into the bedroom, and she had me do things like read her nursery rhymes from a children's book, and watch her ride on a small wooden horse that had also been brought in. It was an...interesting experience. I have to admit it was a little...fun...playing with all those things, but I swear to you Natsuki, that was all that happened between Tomoe and I that day. Nothing else."
"Shh love, no need to try to convince me further. I believed you from the instant that you said that nothing happened. I love you, Shizuru," Natsuki said softly, as she leaned forward to claim Shizuru's lips with her own.
Shizuru moaned long and low into the kiss, her hands reaching back up into Natsuki's dark-blue locks so that she could pull the other woman closer into their embrace.
Natsuki pulled back slowly from their kiss, her lips slightly swollen, and her emerald-green eyes swirling with desire for the woman before her.
"Zuru, before we continue any further, there is one last thing that I would like to ask you," Natsuki said quietly.
"Anything Suki. I'll answer anything that you ask of me," Shizuru replied a little breathlessly.
Natsuki let out a light breath of air as she tried to calm her racing heart. Then leaning forward and giving Shizuru a light kiss to the lips Natsuki then turned around, and quickly made her way over to her desk. There she opened a drawer, pulled out a small object, then turned around and made her way back over to Shizuru.
Shizuru titled her head curiously to the side as she watched Natsuki approach her. Her crimson eyes then widened in shock when she saw Natsuki go down on one knee before her, and hold up the small object she had taken from her desk drawer.
It was a small velvet box with a beautiful ring nestled snugly in its center. The ring had a gorgeous ruby set in the middle, surrounded by a sparkling layer of emeralds that twinkled as brightly as Natsuki's eyes were right now.
"Shizuru Viola, will you marry me and become my wife?" Natsuki asked with a small, shy smile.
Shizuru's hand quickly came up to cover her lips as she watched Natsuki go down on her knee, and ask the question that she felt she had been waiting an entire lifetime to hear.
"Yes! Oh god yes, Natsuki! I will marry you and become your wife!" Shizuru exclaimed as tears of joy began to stream down her face, and she launched herself into Natsuki's waiting arms, as the dark-haired woman had quickly risen to her feet at Shizuru's answer.
Natsuki laughed with unbridled joy as she felt Shizuru place happy little kisses all over her face. Then she felt Shizuru's lips press hotly against her own, and Natsuki moaned into the kiss as she opened her mouth to let Shizuru in. Natsuki then wrapped her arms tightly around Shizuru's slender waist, as they deepened their kiss. Then breaking their kiss lightly, Natsuki reached down for Shizuru's hand and gently placed the glittering ring on Shizuru's finger.
Shizuru did her best to keep her tears from falling again, but it was already a lost cause as she held back a sob, and wrapped her arms tightly around Natsuki's neck, pulling the other woman closely against her.
"I love you, Natsuki. Forever and always, I love you," Shizuru whispered tearfully into Natsuki's ear.
Natsuki placed her lips against Shizuru's temple, and kissed it gently as she replied. "I love you too, Shizuru. I will always be yours, and you will always be mine. Forever and always...forever and always."
