The young couple lay on top of the blanket, having only the stars and the moon as their light. They had a small picnic, but neither had wanted to leave the other's company so they had stayed longer than they were supposed to in the small field.
Orihime contently sighed, her eyes shining of awe as she gazed up at the clear night sky. "I can't believe it's only been a year…"
Ichigo glanced down at her and slightly brought her closer to him. "It is kinda crazy…"
"It's so weird by thinking that. I just feel like I've known you longer… almost like you were a close friend of mine from when I was little and we suddenly met up like ten years later." Orihime softly giggled and Ichigo smirked. His heart thumped in his chest, knowing that this was the moment he was waiting for.
"Wow. This is crazy because I feel the same. But, Orihime…" Ichigo then turned towards her so that they were face-to-face. "I don't want for us to just know each other for a year, or two or even twenty. I want for us to know and be with each other forever." He began to kneel on one knee and Orihime's eyes widened. "Orihime, I love you and I know you love me. I'm not going to fall for any other woman, it's just not possible after I have met you and spent all this time with you. It's not possible for me to even look at someone else. I love you a lot." Ichigo took a deep breath. "Orihime Inoue, will you marry me?"
Tears were about to fall but Orihime knew that she shouldn't. This was a happy moment after all. But they feel down her cheeks either way. She didn't dare to speak, knowing how she might sound. In the end, she nodded her head, somehow looking like a bobble head. Ichigo let out a breath that he didn't know he was holding and hugged her tightly, kissing her head all over the place. When they pulled apart, he placed the diamond ring on her finger and somehow it seemed to sparkle a bit more than the stars above.
