When Takeo and Yamato broke the news, Suna almost fell from his seat.
"What?"
"We're getting married!" The couple cheered, showing him a pair of gold rings.
Suna only shook his head. He wondered how he never thought of it. Given the two, he had an inkling marriage was inevitable. But to get married at their young age totally blindsided him.
"When?" The young man sighed. There was nothing to do now but support Takeo as he has before. Besides, he smiled at the thought. He could think of no other two people more in love than they were. They're sure to manage somehow.
"In a few weeks." Yamato gushed. "It'll be a small ceremony since Takeo's still studying."
"You'll make it, won't you?" Takeo asked. To which Suna smiled.
"Of course."
"We have to invite Ryuzaki-chan too!" Yamato turned to Suna with a grin. "Let's Skype her!"
"I'll skype her." Suna volunteered, tapping on his laptop. After a few seconds, Sakuno's face popped out in a window. And before either of the two got a word out, Takeo and Yamato cheered in unison,
"We're getting married!"
To which Sakuno fell from her seat and disappeared from screen, much to Suna's amusement.
"What?" The brunette nearly cried in horror. Her mind wailed, ringing, 'It's too early! Too early!' On the corner of her laptop screen, Sunagawa tried to hide his laugh at her reaction.
"You're supposed to be giving them your congratulations." He said then.
Sakuno, a tad bothered by the news, looked at the happy couple on her screen. And, leaning back on her seat, cast away her resignations and finally smiled.
"Congratulations!" She cheered for the couple. And as they giggled and jumped in excitement, Sakuno's happy gaze fell upon Suna's. Both looked at each other with a smile on their faces as their chest filled with a tender warmth they'd carry through the following days.
When the couple left Suna's dorm room, the handsome young man swiveled back to his desk, closer to the screen that held the image of a sleep-deprived doe-eyed brunette. There was a pregnant pause before either one of them spoke up.
"What did you get for Chemistry?" Sakuno asked, finally breaking the silence.
"Ninety-two." Suna told her, and smiled when she started to.
"I got an eighty-eight." Sakuno coyly grinned at him. Then, added smugly, and jokingly, before she exited the conference. "I'm catching up on you, Sunagawa-kun. You better watch out."
With his screen empty, Sunagawa broke into a smile. She never failed to amuse him, even with her front of petty rivalry.
