Foreword

 

 
 
Hmmm... Do you remember? That one day, that one time in that special moment. When we were just little brats, running around and hiding under our mothers' skirts. When  I still tied your hair and let you tie mines. Do you remember that one particular day and time and moment though? You probably don't.
 
Well, let me tell you then. That day was the day my sister got married, right after your 9th birthday and my 7th birthday. She just turned 18 and we were chosen to be her little ring carriers. Remember that? 
 
~flashback~
 
It was after the wedding and I told my mother, that I wanted to marry you. Because you always brought me candy, played with my toys and me, and you were nice to me. Although you were mean. Then you got mad and said that you weren't mean, and we argued. 
 
After the party, when everyone left and you and I got lost near the river. You and I talked, I asked you what would you do, if they never found us and I died. You frowned and smacked my head, telling me that I wouldn't die. That they'll find us and I cried. 
 
I made you promise me, to never leave me alone, to never give me your greens anymore, and to always always keep our pinky promises. That promise we made was kept till now. We laid next to each other and you pulled my hand to your chest. 
 
"Kou, when we grow up do you want to marry me?" I nodded and smiled. "Of course Yuu-chan! That's why I told mommy!" You smiled and kissed my forehead. "Ew! Yuu-chan gave me his germs!!!" You pouted and I laughed. 
 
I snuggled into your arms, " Will Yuu-chan marry me in the future?" You nodded, "But I thought Yuu-chan didn't want to?!" You narrowed your eyes, " I said that I wasn't mean! But I never said I wouldn't marry you!" I nodded with my mouth shaping an O. 
 
I giggled and felt heat go up your face. "Wh-why are you laughing?!" I poked your cheeks, "Ne~~~ Yuu-chan is red." You made us sit up, and grabbed something from behind your back. 
 
"Kou-chan, when we grow up, you and I will get married. This is a present from me to you, since I can't buy a real one yet. But until then, this will be our rings!" You pulled my hand and slipped on a blue handmade flower ring onto my ring finger. 
 
I looked up and squealed, hugging you with all my might. "Yay!!!! Yuu-chan and Kou is married!" You laughed and pushed me away enough to grab my hand an kiss it. "No, I heard so people say that weird E word... What was it.. It means right before you get married." 
 
I frowned, "We're not married yet?" You smiled and shook your head, poking my nose. "No, when our parents give us our blessings as we put on our rings, then we are married." I nodded, "Oh! The word is.. En.... Engage.. Yeah! We are engaged! So you can't like or be with anyone else or else you will die." 
 
I gasped, "Really?!" You nodded, "My daddy said that when you engage yourself with someone else, you have to marry them. Or else you both will die, because you lied." I gulped and you nodded. "But it's okay, because I didn't lie! We will get married. Right Kou-chan?" 
 
I nodded and then I gave you my ring  in return, "I made one for Yuu too! It was from the bundle my sister was holding." You laughed and I pouted. "You stole one?" I nodded and hushed you with my finger. "It's okay they don't know." 
 
You laughed and that night we claimed to the river and to the world as our witness, that we were engaged. 
 
~Back to present~
 
I giggled and smiled to myself, remembering those memories. They were so silly yet so precious. I looked at you and found you walking to me.  "What are you thinking of?" I smiled, "Guess~ Yuu-chan." You frowned, I wonder if you remember. Probably you don't. 
 
You cupped my cheeks and smiled. "Well, it seems my little Kou-chan is challenging me." I smiled. "If you guess it right, I will let you have something very important." You smirked and I laughed. 
 
You kissed my forehead, cheeks, temples, and then lips as if a ritual. You pulled away and put distance between us a bit. "You were thinking if I remembered?" I arched my brow... I mean, you could be lying for all I know, might be a lucky guess. Like that other  time. 
 
Then you got down on one knee and I panicked,but then you were only  tidying your shoe... How did I know? I sighed and said hi to disappointment, then I looked at Kai. He frowned and mouthed a question, "You okay?" I nodded and smiled, rubbing my belly. He laughed and so did I.
 
I saw Reita and Ruki and everyone we knew was looking at you and I looked back out of curiosity... 
 
"OHMYGOD! YUU WHAT ARE!??? " you gave me a cheeky smile and I felt tears coming down. On one knee, hand out holding rings, and wearing my ring I gave you for over more than a decade ago. 
 
"Takashima Kouyou, will you be my bride? I knew you were wondering if I had forgotten that time, on Kimiko's wedding, at the river when we were lost and when I told you that we were engaged. So all I want as a prize is your hand in marriage and your heart and soul as mine for eternity." 
 
I smiled so big I wouldn't blame my face if it broke in two. I nodded and screamed, muffling my cries and cried harder. "YES!!!!!! YUU YES! OH MY AOI! " I felt you embrace me and kiss me as you slipped that ring on my finger. Hearing our friends cheer in for us,  I don't know what else could make me as happy as this. 
 
"How'd you know?" You smiled, "Well, you had the same smile you ha when I told you we were engaged, and I've been thinking about it." I arched my brow, "You remembered my smile from that time? It's not the same one?" You shook your head.
 
"Back then, you smiled so hard you started fangirling, and these two days, you've been fangirling." Everyone laughed and I slapped your chest. That was embarrassing... You kissed me again and I swear, my smile can not calm down! 
 
I held your hand and put your ring on you as I looked at mines. "I still can't believe you still have it? And it's all withered." You laughed, "I found mines taped in your guitar case and I was so happy. Because yours was always in my wallet." 
 
"Although I had to be extra careful on taking the tape off my ring, because I was preserving  it."  I saw Reita nodding. "He did that in the bathroom yesterday... And I needed to pee... And he threatened me that if I rushed him he'd make sure I will not be able to use it ever again." 
 
I laughed and you blushed, "I was in high concentration! " I laughed an patted your chest, giving you a kiss. Then it hit me... "Aoi... Did you make this party for this?!" Everyone bursted out laughing and I pouted. "Aww... You guys ...  No one told me." 
 
"I didn't know either!" I smiled and Aoi chuckled, "Well, Kai. You are my baby's best friend, you would've told him." I laughed when Kai had a guilty look. Then he walked up to me and winked. " We also have a secret." I gulped and everyone arched their brow. 
 
"What?" I looked down an avoided your gaze... "Uhm..." I looked back at Kai and he shooed me, "Yuu.... I um.." You looked even more serious, "I uhm..... I... Have...  A... Ano............ Little thing... In me...... Uhm... And .." Kai sighed, "URUHA!" 
 
"IM PREGNANT! THERE I SAID IT! HAPPY KAI?!" I looked and he nodded with a smirk. The whole room was in silence... Oh god... I hate this.... I started crying and then, you put your hand around me and that was the first actual real kiss we had since this year. 
 
"Baby, Kou. Don't cry, why didn't you tell me? I'm so happy! We're gonna have a baby... Sweetie, were gonna have a baby. I'm so happy, Kouyou. Look at me." I looked into your eyes and saw tears. "Baby, that's the best thing that you've ever given me. I love you so much."
 
Everyone hollered and screamed and whistled. I smiled and laughed, letting you rub my little tummy. "We're married now. Not engaged anymore." you laughed, "We broke world record of years of engagement." I laughed and kissed you.
 
"I love you Yuu... I love you. " 
 
" I love you too, Kouyou. I love you forever."
