DISCLAIMERS- I DO NOT OWN MAHOUKA KOUKOU NO RETTOUSAI

Hey minna! O'hisashiguri, genki? hahaha sorry for the lapse of language that happened just now. Overall, this month had been hectic with loads of assignments that will due at the end of the month. I'm sorry for the lack of motivation to update any stories because of the entire work load. Thank you to all the readers, reviewers, followers and favs of this story.

Enjoy the update everyone, and read and review if you like the chapter or had any particular idea for me to include to the story... ahh, I can't wait for Valentine...

P.s- should I raise the rating to M because I had a feeling that this valentine would be a blast...

The tea taste bitter to his tongue even though he had added quite a bit of honey to go with it. Is it him or is it something else that's making him feel really uncomfortable. Or was it the aura that had been emanating from his lover awhile ago. Nevertheless for Tatsuya this isn't something to be ignored since himself, his lover and his beloved little sister as well as a few of his friends gather at the living room. Though the scenery look civil enough the auras that all of them are emanating is something else to be concern about.

All of them are seated in the living room area of the couple apartment. Masaki is seated right next to him. Meanwhile Miyuki sat on the sofa across them with Mizuki and Erika. Leo and Mikihiko on the other hand take the seats that are left across each other.

The silent do them no good and the atmosphere is getting thicker by the minute. The fact that Miyuki had sneaked out of the main house is another problem to behold. All of them sip their own teas and let themselves loosed up for a bit before beginning their conversation.

Taking a deep breath Miyuki settles down the cup before standing up and bowed towards the couple.

"Onii-sama, Ichijou-san, I'm sorry for the inconvenience that I had cause both of you"

Hearing the formal apology coming out of Miyuki seems odd even though he is quite used to Miyuki ways of speaking. Tatsuya stands and put his hand on her shoulders, saying a few quick words before letting her settles down, tears staining her cheeks and smiles adorning the face.

Miyuki also apologized to his friends and hope for the best. All of them spend their time together before parting ways on their way home...

...

Later that night...

Tatsuya had been feeling anxious since Masaki hadn't even mentioned to him anything about the incident. Both of them are lying on their shared bed, Masaki's reading a book while Tatsuya's worrying about the thing.

Seeing that his lover is feeling uncomfortable, Masaki put down the book on side table. He put his hand on Tatsuya's shoulder. Feeling his lover hand right on, he turn to face him.

"What is it Masaki?'

He asked him.

"Tatsuya, I love you, you know that right"

Masaki said to him.

"Yes, I love you too"

Tatsuya replied back at him. Looking into his eyes, Masaki gripped his shoulder before burying his face into Tatsuya's chest.

"I love you, Tatsuya I need you to be truthful to me"

He said to him. Hearing Masaki's statement makes his gulped down his saliva, the moment of truth has come.

"Yes, ask away"

He simply replied back. Clearing his throat, Masaki started his questioning.

M-What is your relationship with Major Kazama?
T- He is my superior.

M- Your superior. Does this makes you involve somehow in the military?
T- Yes, by all means, I am affiliated with the military.

M- Which unit that you had affiliated with?
T- The JSDF 101 Independent Magic-Equipped Battalion.

M-Do you hold any rank in the service?
T- No, on the surface I hold no rank, I'm known to the crowd as a special lieutenant, an unregistered Strategic-Class Magician by the name of Ooguro Ryuuya.

Facts after facts came out like water pouring from a rainfall, Masaki wasn't surprised that Tatsuya is involved in the military; he is more surprised that his lover is Taurus Silver after hearing about his involvement in the Four Leaf Tech. Furthermore, the fact that Tatsuya's very own blood mother had experimented on his own son makes him want to puke. He swore that he would kill the bitch if she hadn't died d yet. Unfortunately, the woman is already in the grave.

While hearing Tatsuya's story his hand caresses his lover's back trying to sooth him as he told him every single thing that he had done until now. He pulls him into his embrace, hugging him close. He took his hand and kisses every single part of it, from knuckles to another; Tatsuya snuggles into his embraces even more. He kisses Tatsuya's forehead and corner of his lips before coaxing his lover to sleep.

Watching Tatsuya's face as he sleep makes him feel a bit overprotective, if he could he wanted to locked Tatsuya's away from everyone eyes but he didn't want Tatsuya to hate him. He opens the drawer of the side table and took out a small box. A small silver piece is taken out of it, he took Tatsuya's hand and kissed his fingers once again before slipping something onto the ring finger.

The silver ring gleams into the night, the sapphires that studded onto the ring also compliments Tatsuya's hair. Masaki had been planning to do this for a long time. He pulls out another and slipped it onto his own finger. This should do for now, perhaps an engagement party at a later date would do as well. He pulls the covers and joins his love to the land of dream.

Little that he know that Tatsuya had been awake all this time and took a peek upon both of their hands before smiling and join his lover back into the night...
