67. Question
Fidgeting at the table, Rin's fingers play at the edge of her lace dress, a smile plastered to her face.
Across from her, laughing handsomely and talking in the voice she loves so, is her boyfriend. Tonight, Len had vouched for taking her out to a fancy restaurant instead of just staying at home. It's become habit for the two of them to snuggle up on a couch and watch Netflix at night, so this is both a surprising and welcome change.
Taking a sip of her sweet iced tea, Rin glances around the restaurant. It is a bit strange he wanted to go this particular restaurant. He must've planned it out beforehand. Her mind wanders as to why. We never really go out… Maybe he just wanted to try something new? He even bought me this really nice dress, though… Hmmm.
"Rin? You seem a bit out of it."
She snaps back to attention. Len is staring at her intently, his eyes sparkling. "Oh, sorry." She apologizes. "What were you saying?"
Len's trademark, good-natured half-smile appears, and he repeats his words from earlier. "I was just saying that I had a little something for you."
"A little-?"
He rises from his chair, and walks over to her side of the table. Her heart suddenly does a flip, and her eyes widen to the size of dinner plates when he bends down on one knee.
"Rin Kamine," He starts, and she feels her breathing stop as he pulls a small box from his pants pocket. "I've always loved you, and I always will. So…"
He blushes unexpectedly, and opens the velvet box to reveal the diamond ring inside. She gasps, her hands fluttering to her face.
"...Will you marry me, Rin? I promise I'll take care of you and treat you right."
Her eyes water, happiness and pleasant surprise and butterflies welling up. "Y-Yes!" She says, smiling so wide she's afraid she'll have permanent aches in her cheeks. "Of course I'll marry you!"
Rin throws her arms around his neck tightly, almost knocking the ring from his hands. He hugs her back just as forcefully, and she can feel his own happiness as he chuckles.
"Hey, Rin, since we're going to get married…" Len says, pulling away to look at her. "Can I ask you one more thing?"
"Anything," She answers.
"How many kids do you want? Three, or five?"
A/N: Ah, such fluff~. I really love writing out these, but... is it also weird I really enjoy writing out feely things as well? I love playing with your heartstrings~!
By the way, to the King of Ranting: This is the fluff I was talking about in an earlier chapter~.
Also, another reply, to the lovely Lalala: I know, I can't believe I've come so far! I'm just so happy I've managed to keep up and write all of these, which is a huge feat, haha. You're one of my most treasured readers, and I hope you'll come back and reread these whenever you need a dose of fluff or broken heart. It's thanks to great readers/reviewers like you I have been able to write like this! Anyway, don't worry, there's still 33 more drabbles on the way~!
To all the other silent/not so silent readers of mine, thanks for sticking around!
Read on!
~Disclaimer~ I own Lenny's shy proposal and Rin's surprise, but that's it.
