I decided to make Step One into Steps! Basically what that means is that it'll be a compilation of all of my little dangly roping Naegiri shorts. I enjoy writing blurbs like this and I thought I should share them with everybody else too!

Thank you for stopping by!

Surprise!

The room was filled with excited chatter. It was a very relaxing atmosphere – for the most part. As relaxed as the room was, anybody with a sense of humanity could easily tell that there was one person in the room completely tense.

Makoto Naegi.

He was standing alone by a long, rectangular table which was lined up with a bunch of drinks (fruit punch).

"Yo! Naegicchi!" Startled, he stumbled into the table, almost managing to knock the entire line over.

"W-Whoa! Hagakure-kun… What's up?"

"Aren't you excited?! You looked so gloomy over there in that corner thought I'd come n' cheer you up!" Hagekure shot a grin over at Naegi, and they proceeded to have a conversation.

"Say, Naegicchi, what do you have in store for us today? No wait… don't tell me." Hagakure, known to be the best fortune teller/psychic in the entire world with a whole 30% successful readings, pulled out his crystal ball.

"Look into the ball, Naegicchi. Tell me what you see."

"I-I'm not so sure about this Hagakure. Last time I looked at a ball you charged me!" Naegi looked upset as he recalled a previous event.

"Is that so? Haha! Well, alright then!" Hagakure retrieved his ball, hiding it inside of his coat.

"Back on topic, what do you have planned for us today Naegicchi? Or rather, what do you have awaiting the queen?"

"Wh- Queen?!" Shocked, Naegi stuttered.

"I-I don't wanna reveal the secret. It should be a surprise to everybody! Besides Hagakure-kun, it doesn't even concern you."

"Is that right now? Hmm… Yeah you're right! Haha! Good luck to you then, Naegicchi!" Hagakure swung his coat as he turned around, walking over to a nearby chocolate fountain.

In the distance, Naegi watched as Hagakure gets fascinated by the fountain at how it never overflows. He sighs and begins to look around again. Colourful streamers and balloons showered the room from the ceiling to the floor. The overall colour of the room seemed to be a lively purple.

"Sigh… Am I really ready to do this?" A lot of people were around that Naegi didn't know. Surprisingly though, Naegi was able to catch someone quite familiar in the corner of his eye.

Asahina was running frantically with a donut stuck in her mouth.

"Everybody! She's coming!"

"She?!" Naegi began to sweat excessively. He ran to the nearest mirror and started to fix everything that he could: his hair, his tie, his collar, even his nose (checking for boogers of course). Naegi ran over to the nearest table as the lights shut off. He concentrated on breathing slowly. Footsteps echoed from under the door, and they came to a stop once they reached the entrance.

The doorknob slowly turned, and as the door swung open the lights flicked on.

"SURPRISE!"

Confetti burst through the air and cheers resonated throughout the room. A slender girl stood at the entrance full of shock as everyone laughed and cheered.

"Happy birthday Kirigiri-san!" Everybody in the room cheered for her and began to disperse. One by one, people went up to Kirigiri in order to congratulate her for her 18th birthday.

Within an hour into the party, everybody had finished sharing presents and condolences to Kirigiri. Everybody except one. Naegi stood over by the punch table, nervously playing with the ladle and smiling at anybody who walked by. Occasionally, he glanced over at Kirigiri as she conversed with other people.

"Hey, Naegi-kun!" Asahina had snuck up from behind him.

"O-Oh! Asahina-san. What's u- OW!" Asahina smacked Naegi upside the head with a donut.

"Stop being a coward!" And she ran away.

"Ugh…" Naegi rubbed the back of his head as he walked over to a nearby closet.

"Can I really do this properly?" He shook his head.

"AHH I'M SO NERVOUS I CAN'T DO THIS!"

"Do what?" Naegi froze in his tracks. The all too familiar voice came from behind him.

"Do what, Naegi-kun?" He slowly turned around, only to end up facing the one person he had been trying to avoid. Kirigiri stood there in a simplistic black dress with her arms crossed, her cheeks slightly blushed.

"K-Kirigiri-san! W-When did you get there?" Naegi chuckled nervously as he pressed his back against the closet door.

"Just now. I noticed that you haven't been talking to me and wondered what was up. Did I do something wrong, Naegi-kun?" She glanced over at the door that Naegi was trying to block.

"Are… you hiding something from me?"

"N-No! What m-makes you think that?!" Naegi began to panic.

"Can I see what's in the closet?"

"Why?!"

"I just want to look for something."

"How about I help you do it?! What are you lo-"

"Naegi-kun."

"Ahh…" Naegi sighed out.

"Alright, Kirigiri-san. Wait here." Naegi opened the closet door and disappeared into the little room.

Kirigiri stood there waiting, intrigued at what he was going to bring out.

The door then swung open and Naegi burst out with a grand bouquet of flowers. It was arranged with several roses and lavenders, representing love and…

"Kirigiri-san. Happy birthday." Naegi lowered his head as he presented the flowers to her. His hands were trembling, but suddenly, with all the strength Naegi could possibly muster he said,

"Kirigiri Kyouko! Will you please go out with me and be my girlfriend?!"

The room turned silent, and every pair of eyes were on the couple by the closet. Kirigiri's face was completely red in embarrassment and shock. Naegi, still bowing was beginning to worry.

"She's not answering… Did I do something wrong?"

But as a minute passed, Kirigiri broke out into a gleeful giggle. She walked up to Naegi, pulling his head up. Kirigiri looked into his eyes and smiled sweetly at him.

"Of course, Naegi-kun. I'll be your girlfriend." She leaned in and kissed him lightly on his forehead.

"Wh-Wha… Really?!" Naegi couldn't believe Kirigiri's response. A wave of joy rushed through his body as his face turned a very bright red. Kirigiri nodded towards her new boyfriend with a very heartwarming smile. He pulled her in for a hug and the crowd around them cheered them on.

"H-Happy Birthday Kirigiri-san."

"Kyouko. I'm your girlfriend now, aren't I?" Kirigiri flashed another smirk at Naegi, feeling a sense of accomplishment as he stuttered out her name.

"H-Happy Birthday… Kyouko." Uncontrollably smiling, Naegi leaned in and gave Kirigiri a light peck on her cheek.

"Thank you, Makoto."
