Unexpected
"So Rin, if you could be anything in the world, what would it be?" Nitori curiously inquired as he took a bite of one of the many foods Rin had brought along to their date at the park. He was obviously expecting the usual Olympic swimmer answer from him.
The redhead hummed thoughtfully as he pressed a slender finger to his lips in mock seriousness. "I wouldn't want to be anything other than your boyfriend to be honest." He earnestly replied. The smaller boy could hear the real sincerity in his sappy response as light pink dusted over Nitori's cheeks.
He leaned into Rin's shoulder and sighed dreamily thinking back on their first embrace. Their first kiss. He remembered the way the stars lit up the older teen's eyes as he gazed at him and how much worry he saw in them. He couldn't help but kiss him! He smiled unconsciously as he thought about how his lips felt against his own. That was until that sharp yet soothing voice broke him out of his trance.
"Whats got you so giddy?" Rin teased the slightly flustered young boy. Of course Nitori answered anyway. "I was thinking about how well our first kiss went." He spoke as he grinned up at the taller teen's ruby eyes.
"Oh?" Rin voiced as his slightly rough fingers moved to the smaller's face.
Rin swiftly stroked his cheek and grasped lightly under the lad's chin as he tilted his head up, meeting his loving stare. Smugly, Rin leaned into the boy colliding their lips into one another. They pressed against each other; all the while their hands began hanging from each other. The redhead gently placed his hand on the small of Nitori's back, bringing him flush against his chest, not once breaking their kiss. The grey-haired boy ran his nimble fingers along his boyfriend's muscular arms as they began to pull apart from each other.
A cocky smile graced Rin's lips as he stared down at the boy in his grasp.
"How was that?" The smirking shark questioned in triumph.
Nitori simply shrugged and looked away, "Like every other one." He boredly stated. Not taking in the shocked and confused shark's face before giggling and facing Rin. "Perfect. Like they always are, my love" Nitori took great pleasure in the color that spread onto his senpai's face at the name. The younger of the two took this opportunity to feed his boyfriend a bite of the sweet bread he was currently snacking on.
The pair gazed at the surreal view of the now pink sky with flicks and flames of orange and yellow flowing across the expanse above them. Their hands clasped one another's and they smiled. Slowly they laid down onto the blanket they were upon and looked up into the sky. Nitori could feel Rin tense and he saw his expression go serious with something burning in his eyes. Determination? All at once the redhead sat up and started digging through the basket he had brought along. It appeared he had found what he was searching for as he slowly pulled back and looked at Nitori.
He gently pulled Nitori onto his knees as Rin sat back fumbling with something. Rin looked straight at Nitori with a firm expression before speaking.
"Ai, I love you." He stated with no hesitation. "I Love you too Rin." Nitori spoke truthfully, albeit slightly confused. The older teen took a deep breath before continuing on.
"I love you and you mean everything to me. And ever since I've met you my life has been…different. I'm always thinking about you, I know we haven't been together long, but every time we're apart It feels like I'm incomplete. I just can't imagine a world without you in it." Red eyes got misty as he tried to steady his voice.
Nitori couldn't believe this. "Rin what are you…" The shark took his hand as he noticed he was shaking.
Rin moved his free hand still grasping a small object towards the boy.
"I want to spend the rest of our lives together. What about you?" He uncurled his fist to reveal a small band of metal that gleamed blue in the light, but had a small stone of ruby on the top. "O-Of course it wouldn't be right away but-"He was abruptly interrupted by a hard kiss from above. Rin felt drops of liquid hit his cheeks as he pulled away and gazed at the boy he loved. Nitori was crying as his smile reached from ear to ear.
"Is this Matsuoka Rin asking for my, Nitori Aiichirou's, hand in marriage?" Nitori softly laughed, at the formal wording he chose just to make rin smile that earth shattering smile.
"Yes. That is what I was trying to convey." The taller male chuckled as he wiped away the boy's tears with his thumb. "So would you like to be Aiichirou Matsuoka?" He asked coolly, trying to mask his nervousness.
Nitori sweetly kissed him, grabbing rin and pulling him into a surprising embrace. "Nothing could be better than." He exhaled softly speaking once more in a barely audible whisper, "Yes Rin." The redhead smiled into the boys shoulder, muttering I love you an infinite amount of times and never once, not hearing the boy's reply.
Before they knew it, everything was dark and starry. The cool night air surrounding the couple huddled in the red and white blanket. Looking up at the moon encasing them in light.
"I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you." Nitori whispered. Rin agreed as he turned his head to face the boy. He kissed the grey-haired teen's cheek, then his nose, up to his forehead, then directly on his lips. Nitori gradually pulled them down onto the grass. Nitori lay under Rin's loving gaze as he pulled him down once again. Connecting their lips, as he held onto the redhead. Emotions ran freely as hands roamed and passion was felt.
The cold air had warmed up considerably as the pair lay on the grass. The small boy began to trace the outline of Rin's bare stomach before laying his hand flat on the shark's chest, never once regretting anything. Ruby eyes gazed deeply into the clear blue expanses that were Nitori's. He ran his hand along the boy's soft back as he pulled him closer feeling warmth once more. They held each other close for minutes, which seemed like infinities, before getting up and redressing.
The smaller of the two intertwining his fingers with Rin's in a way that seemed practiced as the packed up and headed towards Samezuka. Until Nitori stopped to hold his hand in the air, watching the metal ring on his finger to gleam in the moon's bright light. The small, yet breathtaking ruby twinkled. He smiled before squeezing his shark's hand, continuing down the path. Closer to their future.
