Two months have passed since the accident that befell on Shingyouji. All of the therapy paid off as he had now fully recovered and lived on his days again. Misu on the other hand had turned over the new leaf and decided to cherish every moment ...
The young man had returned back to work, welcomed by Gii who prepared a party for him and thankful of Shingyouji being alive and well, Misu was able to visit him in his office despite his busy schedule, the previous truce between Andrew and Misu had ended as well and they are now having some friendly conversation with each other.
"Seems like your accident had cause Misu to change." Gii commented.
"I think it was his choice as well , I am just happy we are being successful in the path we are now taking, and being together again." Says Shingyouji.
"Nee Gii, I thought we're going to tell something to Shingyouji-kun." Hayama told his lover.
"You did not tell him while we're visiting him in the hospital? I thought he knew already?" Gii asking Hayama.
"What do I need to know?" Shingyouji curiously asked the both of them.
"Alright well, Gii and I are finally getting married!" Hayama excitedly told him showing his ring to his young friend.
Shingyouji suddenly sighed sadly and Hayama began to worried and ask him with his sudden reaction.
"Shingyouji-kun what's wrong?" asks Hayama.
"Hayama-san, Gii-senpai, I so glad this is all happening for the two of you, I really am I don't think Arata-san doesn't want to marry me." Shingyouji told his former senpais.
"It's the 21st Century already why not ask him that question if he can't do it himself." Gii suggested.
The young man just sighed again heavily and then keep looking at Misu still talking to Andrew suddenly he noticed Misu answering his phone call excusing his self, the young man never lose his sight of his lover, and he began to daydream wedding march, petal showered on the floor and finally seeing Misu smiling at him asking for his hand where they dance together like there is no one watching, he was snapped out of reality when he noticed Gii, Hayama, Andrew especially Misu looking at him seems like he blurted out something that he shouldn't have that caught their attention.
"Shingyouji did you just ask me to marry you?" Misu asked him raising his eyebrow.
"What? No I didn't was it out loud? Hayama and Gii nods at him. "No I didn't really. Oh my god!" Shingyouji feeling embarrassed decided to go out of Gii's office and left the party excusing himself that Mr. Utada might need him in the training room, Andrew decides to follow his friend chuckling leaving just the three of them having a conversation.
"Misu you know what you should do." Gii whispered to his former rival.
"You could have done it when he was in the hospital." Says Hayama.
"I could give you some suggestions how about having a candlelight dinner for two, then you can sing him a song and in that moment ask him that BIG question." Gii suggested.
"Saki I don't sing." Misu objected his rival's idea.
"How will you make it special?"
"I am still thinking of that, I need a significant place if I am going to propose to him." Misu suddenly glanced at Shingyouji now doing his errand clumsily drops a cup of coffee to his boss. "Or not for now."
"Better make it fast; we don't know what could happen in the future." Gii suggested to Misu.
As they got back home, Shingyouji is still embarrassed at his actions; he can't even look at the older man's eyes. He knows that if Misu will propose to him there won't be any problem at all besides his lover's family is very fond of him especially his mother. The only thing that bother Shingyouji is does Misu wants it as well? He knows he is not that great as Sagara-senpai or even as wonderful as Hayama-san, but hearing about marriage he wishes that Misu and he would also go on that stage on settling down. He remembered months ago Misu mentioned to him he was planning to propose to the young man, but does his lover already changed his mind? Shingyouji's thoughts were full of worries.
The next day, Misu is also having a dilemma of proposing to Shingyouji though he had planned it before, he realize the huge difference between them especially for Shingyouji who had a childish nature inside him, can he really stand if the young man will talk to him all day or he also have his patience when it comes to his lover eccentric's nature and worse is they have different outlook and opinions, this made him doubt that this could make them apart once they get married, especially Shingyouji as well is sometimes the type of person who could be arrogant to listen to him.
Misu opened the door to their apartment, noticing Shingyouji cooking for their dinner, when the young man noticed him he runs on to him smiling, informing what he had made for them. Misu is wondering what the young man wants to talk about when he was asked that they need to have a conversation about a very important matter.
"Nee Arata-san, have a seat please. I have to ask you something." Shingyouji still don't know how to start the conversation with his lover. "Ok I know we had been together for many years, and though we had almost hit the bottom this past months we're still together right? I remember when you had also told me about proposing to me if I haven't pursue New York"
"OK?"
"Well uhm Gii-senpai, suggested to me maybe I should be liberated and ask you to marry me." Shingyouji laughed trying to cover how nervous he is. "Arata-san, do you want to be with me I mean as your longtime partner? I mean do you want to marry me?" the young man finally asking Misu.
"Should I answer that question?" Misu asking him looking through his lover's eyes. "Ok what if we get married, and we have our own house, by chance we we're able to adopt our own child, Shingyouji I know you had changed from the time I see you back in Shidou, but can you be able to adjust on the level of maturity of being married?
"Eh?"
"I know you so well, you still carry tantrums, and you can be childish in ways that could irritate me sometimes, are you willing to change it?"
"I uhm been trying to really change of course I'll still have those good moments and bad moments, but I can be mature like Hayama-san or refined like Sagara-senpai." Shingyouji answered Misu.
"I know how hard you tried, I am just afraid you'll go back to your old self I can't blame you, I had left you before that you have this pain of being wanted, what if we quarrel and ended up like your parents? Do you know how different we are at each other?" says Misu with seriousness in his tone.
"Can I promise you something?" Shingyouji trying to begin just to convince Misu how he can be worth of the older man but suddenly something made him realize and retracted what he had said, "No, this is what you get, an annoying guy still childish inside, and this guy in front of you who has so much love for you." Shingyouji begins to cry. "But if you're expecting more, and that's not what you want then you need to be honest with me and be honest with yourself, the sooner the better. No matter what you have done you know I was there for you, when I learned about what happened to you I understand you and accept you, I even lose my life just for you to be able to be back to your old self. I guess that's not important to you its ok forget it, can I go first to sleep? I don't feel like having dinner tonight." Misu feels remorse on what he had told the young man making him realize he is not the guy today without Shingyouji, he looked at his pocket where he had bought the engagement ring he had actually been with him while the young man was still hospitalized. He suddenly noticed a set of sports magazines and smiled giving him an idea how to make it up to his lover.
At the office Shingyouji went to work without Misu by his side, at first he thought the older man had left him after what he had said but seeing Misu's suitcase and clothes still on their apartment that at least ease his worries, thinking his lover was just needed at work on an earlier schedule. Suddenly Gii approaches Shingyouji.
"Gii-senpai."
"Shingyouji, can you go with me at Manhattan Plaza Health Club?"
"Uhm ok." Shingyouji without asking why they need to go there do what Gii had told him, as they had reached the place Gii suddenly bid him goodbye and leave him alone.
"Gii-senpai."
"Just go inside." His former senpai told him.
Shingyouji do what he was told and suddenly he see unknown faces giving him white roses as he passed by, as he walks towards the pool, Shingyouji gasped seeing a group of Synchronized Swimmers doing a routine, they were wearing red suit and seems to entertain the young man, Shingyouji was amazed especialy when one of the group were able to do a heart shape, like a child Shingyouji had clapped his hands in amusement, Shingyouji's enjoyment was more enticed when he saw Misu in a white suit walking on the pool leaving the young man speechless, Misu jumps over and swim towards his lover.
"A-arata-san why did you swim wearing a suit?." Shingyouji confusedly asked him.
"Try not to ruin this will you?" Misu told the young man.
"I uhm ah…"
"Promise you will never say a word I know you can't do that but promise me." Misu told him holding Shingyouji's hand.
"I promise."
"Eversince I hold this hand, I know I have held this a million times before, I realized we have each other to balance things out, I also want you to know you do that for me too every day, loving you and being loved by you makes everything better, so…." Misu is also nervous on how to pop out the question to Shingyouji so he took out a black box with a ring in his suit for the young man to know what he wants to tell him.
"Can I speak now?" Shingyouji asking him.
"No."
"Huh?"
"You haven't answered my question yet." Misu telling his lover.
"I haven't heard you asking me anything."
"You already know what is it? Just answer me YES or NO?"
Shingyouji nodded, as Misu slipped the ring into the young man's finger, he held his lover's face kissing him passionately and embracing him tightly. "Arata-san I love you." Shingyouji said happily to his lover.
"Why do I need to do foolish things just to always please you." Misu told him.
Shingyouji ignored and just hugged Misu, this time he is no longer a daydream it is happening right then and there. The young man suddenly have all the flashbacks that had happened between them, when they first met, the Tanabata event, the time Misu and him were separated and now that all the past had gone its is now the time to face their own future.
