Natsuko softly knocked on the door, "Merry Christmas!" She exclaimed, "Please get decent, and come downstairs." Natsuko smiled against the door, "I do hope Nana liked what I got her. And I hope my daughter, Nana, likes what I got her." Natsuko smiled even more, she now descended down the stairs to make breakfast, she was making biscuits and gravy,
Nana stretched as she heard Natsuko's voice, she now looked towards her girlfriend. Nana almost wanted to cry, she was becoming a huge sap now, but she was starting to let the ice on her heart melt away, she leaned downward, and moved a strand of hair from Hachi's face, Nana now kissed her softly, slowly a tear slid down her features and kissed Hachi's cheek, Hachi immediately awoke,
Hachi now looked at Nana, "N..Nana...What's wrong?" Hachi saw Nana crying,
"I ...Don't ever want to lose you..You make me feel complete, Hachi." Nana murmured, "I can't see my life without you. I remember when you got on that train, and got pegged by my guitar. And..." Nana took in a deep breath, "It was then I knew that I had a crush on you. When I saw you with that two timing bastard...I was jealous, that is why I waked away. There is no other place I rather I be, then here with you. Hachi...You seriously complete me. I never want us to end. Every moment I let that thought come to mind, it kills me. I remember how fragile you were...But then I realized that it wasn't you that was fragile, it was me. Without you, I'm weak. Without you, I can't breathe...Without you, I'm a nobody. Hachi, I love you so very much. And if I lose you...I think...No, I know I'll die. And I know for a damn fact, I need you. And only you. Hachi, never did I think in a million years, I would find the one. And here she is, staring right in my eyes. You truly make me feel like the luckiest girl on the planet, and I never want that feeling to die..." Nana continued on after she took another deep breath, "Please...Hachi never leave me." Nana mustered, then leaned in, and kissed Hachi softly. When Nana pulled away there was a small box in Hachi's hand, "Merry Christmas, Hachi." Nana mustered,
Hachi had tears in her eyes, she slowly opened the box and what she saw, blew her away, "N..Nana..." Hachi murmured, she saw a very expensive diamond ring sitting in the box, the ring was white gold, the diamonds were embedded into the band, then three larger diamonds made the center "A..Are you..." Hachi felt a knot in the back of her throat, "Are...You proposing?" Hachi asked, as she looked into Nana's eyes, not sure what the answer was going to be. But for starters, her heart was willing to explode in her chest,
"What if I am?" Nana asked, as she felt tears rolling down her cheeks, then again they never had stopped,
"Th..Then my answer is yes, I will." Hachi replied,
"Then yes, I'm proposing to you." Nana stated with a very soft smile,
Hachi didn't hesitate, as she kissed Nana softly, then slid into her lap, and kissed her now more passionately. Their breasts kissed each other, soon Hachi felt Nana's hands run up and down her back, Hachi blushed softly, then pulled away from the kiss, "My answer, is yes, Nana Osaki, I'll marry you." Hachi now pulled back, then extended her hand to Nana, she now watched the ring slide against her left ring finger, "I love you, Nana." Hachi whispered,
"I love you too, Hachi." Nana now stood, "Come on, shower time." Nana grabbed Hachi's hand, then was stopped. She looked towards Hachi who was now crying, "What's wrong?" Nana asked,
"I only got you this..." Hachi handed Nana a long box, and when Nana opened the box, her expression changed drastically, what laid there? Was a shark tooth made of jade, with a chain, "I...Know it sucks..." Hachi felt a kiss on her lips,
"I love it." Nana whispered against Hachi's lips, then felt Hachi put the necklace on her, "Alright! Now shower time!" Nana exclaimed, then ran to the bathroom with Hachi. Soon they were removing each other's clothes, Hachi immediately leaned into Nana's arms, as Nana held her in the shower. Hachi honestly couldn't get enough of Nana, and the ring on her finger, stated that Nana felt the same way. After about a thirty minute shower, both of them stepped and dried each other off, and soon were dressed and headed down the stairs. Nana smiled towards Hachi's family,
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Nastuko saw the necklace that clasped around Nana's neck, then saw the ring on Hachi's finger. Natsuko knew that Nana had asked Hachi for her hand in marriage, just the night before Natsuko gave Nana permission to marry Hachi,
OoOoOoOoOoOo The Night Before OoOoOoOoOo
Nana took in a deep breath, "Alright, Hachi is asleep...And all I need to ask Natsuko for permission to have Hachi's hand in marriage...Ho..." Nana thought then sighed, "How do I even go about that?" Nana questioned in her thoughts, "Do I just go up and ask her? Or do I give her my life story with her...And then ask?" Nana sighed with her thoughts, Nana took in a deep breath, then headed down the stairs, she saw Natsuko reading, "Uh...Excuse me..." Nana mustered,
"Oh, hey, Nana. Shouldn't you be sleeping?" Natsuko asked,
"Yeah...But I can't sleep." Nana whispered,
"Oh, why is that?" Natusko now rested the book on the arm of the chair,
"I...Welll..." Nana sighed, she wanted to find the right words,
"Nana, what is it?" Natsuko asked,
"Alright...Whew." Nana took in a deep breath, "I love your daughter more than my own life. And since I met her, I couldn't let her leave my thoughts or my heart. Every moment I'm with her. I feel like my heart could explode. She is the one, Mrs. Komatsu. I know this. And I also I need her. I am dying when I think about my life without her. Since I met her, I just knew I needed to be around her, because without her, I'm nothing. A nobody. She makes me feel whole, wanted, and I'm a somebody...So..." Nana was now cut off,
"And let me guess...You are asking me for permission for her hand in marriage?" Natsuko asked,
"Y..Yes." Nana murmured,
"Yes, I give you my blessing." Natsuko smiled,
"You do?!" Nana asked in excitement,
"Yes. But Nana." Natsuko stated, then watched Nana's facial features change, "If you hurt her, I'll hunt you down and kill you." Natsuko stated with a smile, and brought her book back up, "Shouldn't you go sleep with your soon to be fiancee?" Natsuko asked, and watched Nana blush then nod. Natsuko smiled as she watched Nana leave to back to bed.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
Nana looked towards Natsuko then nodded. She now sat down next to her fiancee, with a huge smile on her lips. Things are surely looking up for the couple. Nana just couldn't stop smiling, as she now felt Hachi's hand take her thigh,
"I like the necklace." Natsuko stated,
"Thank you. Hachi got it for me." Nana smiled, "I love it." Nana smiled then leaned in and kissed Hachi's cheek softly,
"Mom...Can I talk to you alone?" Hachi asked, she watched a nod come from Natsuko, she now watched Nana attend breakfast. Once her and her mother were alone, "She...Proposed mom." Hachi began to cry,
"Are you not happy?" Natsuko asked,
"No...I am very happy!" Hachi reassured her mother, "I feel like crying, a million tears of happiness...Because how she makes me feel..." Hachi whispered through her tears, "She is my one and only, mom." Hachi smiled, "Y..You are not mad, are you?" Hachi asked,
"Nana, why would I be mad?" Natsuko asked,
"Because I'll never..." Hachi was cut off,
"No. I am not mad because you will never be with a guy. I'm happy that you are happy. And just to let you know, I really like Nana. She asked me last night for your hand in marriage. I guess she is very old fashion." Natsuko stated, "And I rather like that." Natsuko smiled softly, as she began to walk back to the kitchen, "Oh, I bought you and Nana a Christmas gift." Natsuko mustered then walked back to the kitchen, she saw Nana gone. Then looked into the dining room. Nana had set everything out, and Natsuko smiled widely, "Well, thank you, Nana." Natsuko stated,
"You're welcome, Mrs. Komatsu." Nana smiled warmly,
"Please call me, Natsuko. After all, you'll be joining the family." Natsuko stated, and Hachi's sisters happened to be entering the room,
"Why is Nana joining the family?" Nao asked,
"Nana proposed to you sister, Nana. They are now engaged. So, I say welcome to the family." Natsuko stated,
"Thank you." Nana whispered,
"Nana, its good to know that you make, Nana happy. And so, I say welcome to the family as well." Nami stated with a warm smile,
"And I agree with Nami. Welcome to the family." Nao mustered, she saw Hachi and Nana smiling at each other. She always thought Hachi would end up with a male, but seeing Nana and Hachi together, actually felt so right. She couldn't help but smile more, she just wanted her sister to be happy. And soon after breakfast everyone went into the living room. And everyone opened their gifts. Nami got the new Trapnest CD. Nao got a new coffee maker, she desperately needed one. Hachi got a beautiful necklace, the necklace was more like a raindrop. The color was beautiful as well. And Nana got an armored ring, Natsuko's face lit up when watched everyone just smile and love their gifts.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
Once everyone was done opening gifts. They all sat by the fire. Nana was sitting on the sofa with Hachi, and Hachi was leaning into Nana. "I love you, Nana." Nana mustered, as she felt Hachi's lips connect with her own,
"I love you too, Nana." Hachi replied, "I'm so glad that we are engaged. So, very happy, Nana." Hachi whispered against Nana's lips. Hachi turned and looked at the family. Nami was actually warming up to the idea that her sister is with a girl. She hoped that Nana would NEVER hurt Hachi. And honestly, Nami had nothing worry about. Because Nana would and could never hurt Hachi. And feeling was very mutual. But sometimes, love takes a hard turn. And Hachi and Nana would have to be there for Nobu, through the torment, of a huge falling out after a fight. But no matter what Nana and Hachi's love would and will stay strong. But right now, Nana and Hachi would spend time with Hachi's family. Then pick up the fragments of a broken heart.
