"Yaten, please hurry. We'll be late for the double date with Haruka and Michiru." Ritsuka said, getting his zip up boots on. He wanted to have this double date for a while, and the night finally came. He checked his reflection in the mirror by the front door, adjusting his bangs and making sure his shirt was straight. He put a necklace around his neck and fastened the chain together. The pendant was of a heart that had a three dimensional butterfly on it.
Yaten, wore a white dress shirt, pastel blue dress pants, a pale cream colored vest, and white dress shoes. 'Wow, Yaten looks like a major hunkasaurus.' Ritsuka thought, blushing brightly. Yaten noticed the blush and kissed Ritsuka sweetly, in that moment Ritsuka wrapped his arms around Yaten's neck. There was the honking of a car horn outside. Haruka and Michiru were waiting outside in Haruka's yellow Mustang convertible.
Haruka wore a black button up shirt, matching pants and shoes. She had eye shadow matching her eye color, wine red lipstick on and some cologne on. Michiru wore a white dress with matching gloves and shoes. Her perfume smelled like the sea. The two women were lovers since the beginning of high school. Michiru had her greenish blue hair pinned up into a bun.
"So, you're Ritsuka? Haruka told me about you, and she was right. You are a cutie." Michiru said. She looked over her shoulder to look at the neko young boy. He was blushing, with a sweet and respectful smile. Haruka was grateful that Ritsuka had found a passion's fire with Yaten. She looked at Yaten through the rear view mirror.
"Yaten. When we get to the restaurant, let's show our dates the night of their lives." Haruka said, still keeping her eyes on the road. Yaten nodded, he had something special to give Ritsuka that the paparazzi would blow a gasket over.
'Heh, I bet money that this will get on to the news tonight.' Yaten thought. He had this planned for a while. He wanted Ritsuka to be happy. Yaten stopped by a jewelry store and saw what he wanted to give his young lover. The restaurant was called Diamond Seas. It was famous for it's atmosphere and excellent food. They got to the table, Yaten and Haruka pulling out the chairs for their dates. To show his thanks, Ritsuka kissed Yaten's cheek as soon as he sat down in his chair.
The waitress came up to the table to take the couples' orders. Haruka had a shrimp salad and a soda water for her beverage. Michiru had grilled chicken alfredo and a diet soda. Yaten had caviar with crackers and a iced tea. And Ritsuka had veal parmesan with a pomegranate lemonade.
"Yaten and I have become so close, I feel so happy with him." Ritsuka giggled, giving his lover a cutesy face. Michiru gave a warm, yet polite chuckle. She could tell that the aura around those two boys was radiating pure love. The date moved on to the couples having dessert, Ritsuka had ice cream, while Michiru and Haruka had cheesecake.
"Ritsuka, I want to ask you something." Yaten asked, taking a hold of his young lover's hand. He gave a warm smile. Ritsuka blushed and looked into the sixteen year old's eyes. Ritsuka felt his young heart began to race.
"What could that be, darling?" Ritsuka asked, blushing softly. 'What could he want to ask me?' Ritsuka thought. A million ideas went through his head. He was anxious, but kept his cool demeanor.
Yaten took a small velvet box out of his pocket and placed it into his young lover's hand. Ritsuka opened the little box. Inside was a rose gold ring with two different colored diamonds, one was a vibrant green and the other was a bright purple. Ritsuka could feel tears of happiness forming, along with a smile.
"Will you marry me, Ritsuka?" Yaten asked, slipping the ring onto Ritsuka's left ring finger. Ritsuka gasped as the ring looked beautiful on his finger. The two boys looked into the eyes of one another for a few seconds before Ritsuka answered.
"Yes! I'd scream it to the stars! I want to marry you, Yaten! I LOVE YOU!" Ritsuka said, kissing his now fiancee. Everyone in the restaurant including Haruka and Michiru cheered. Soon camera's flashed and the waitress brought over some sparkling apple cider. Camera crews swarmed the table, asking Ritsuka "How do you feel, being proposed to by a star as big as Yaten?" He smiled and told them "It fills me with overwhelming happiness, he and I share a deep seeded love for one another and I am eagerly waiting for the wedding to come soon."
Later that night, Yaten and Ritsuka came home and washed up to get ready for bed. Ritsuka sat up and kept admiring the engagement ring. the dim light from the bedside lamp caught the stones at the right angle. He smiled as Yaten came back in his green baggy pajamas.
"You sure do like it, huh?" Yaten asked, getting under the covers to also admire the ring he bought. Yaten was a boy who'd do anything to make the lover he had happy. In the next few days their wedding will be one for the media history books.
Ritsuka laid back, with his back on Yaten's chest. For the very first time in his life, he had a strong love that turned permanent. Ritsuka took in the scent of the soap that still lingered on his fiancee's skin.
'Smells like peaches.' He thought. He always loved the way the products that Yaten used smelled. The two sat together admiring the ring before they started to fall asleep. Yaten began to kiss Ritsuka deeply, the young neko boy softly moaned. When they parted, they fell asleep. They dreamed of Ritsuka's home planet. It was sort of a flashback.
Yaten was Star Healer in the dream, while Ritsuka was slightly taller than he was now. In fact he was older, sixteen years old to be exact. But there was something different, his eyes were bright blue, his hair was long and down to his thighs, his garb was similar to Endymion's but various shades of bright blues and violet.
"I am starting to remember, being here." He said, placing a hand on a pillar to the Mautian palace. The memories came back a grain of sand at a time. Healer pointed to the balcony.
"That balcony leads or rather it lead to your bedchamber." Healer said, walking up to the palace doors. The light clacking of her boots was the only sound in the huge structure. Ritsuka wanted to remember everything what happened to his planet. They explored the rooms, until they reached his room. As soon as they entered the room they woke up.
"Will, I ever be able to see my home world again?" Ritsuka asked, adjusting his spaghetti strap pajama top. He'll remember what his palace looked like until he would set foot in that room again. He cuddled with Yaten for a few minutes. Today was a no school day for Ritsuka, he was going to enjoy his day off with his fiancee. Every single second.
