A/N - Just want to say I don't own Love Live.
3 Years Later
It's been 3 years since that fateful night, Eli and Nozomi are now college graduates from the same University. Eli worked at a big company in Japan while Nozomi was a popular upcoming Photographer sometimes even asking Eli for a few modeling gigs. They were living under the same roof happily dating each other for the past years, until now…
Eli had been working late and arriving later than usual in turn, Nozomi was worried. Eli had made an excuse about how she was given more work though Nozomi was still worried. It has been like this the past few weeks.
Everyone - except Nozomi - was gathered in the living room of Maki and Nico's house because of Eli.
"What is your reason for gathering us here Eli?" Nico questioned.
"Why isn't Nozomi-Chan here with us?" Kotori asked.
"Can you guys just hear me out, and ask questions later." Eli said.
"Remember that night we surprised Nozomi, 3 years ago?" Everyone nodded quickly catching on to what Eli was thinking.
"Planning to surprise her again with something?" Maki said in a disinterested tone.
"It's almost our anniversary and I was planning to take her out somewhere nice and…"
"And?" Nico asked not wanting to wait for the news. Everyone stared at her waiting for that answer.
"Hold on let me go get something." Eli went over to her purse pulling something out of it. She took a moment to look at the item. She smiled, this was the item Eli worked hard to buy just for their anniversary. She walked back to the group and held out her hand exposing the item.
"A box Eli? Is that what you surprising Nozomi with?" Eli let out a chuckled, she opened the lid revealing a ring. A silver band with a Platinum Diamond center with Emerald and Sapphire gems as an accent.
"I was planning to propose to her on our anniversary, and I wanted some help from you guys." Eli put on a radiating smile, the group - and surprisingly Maki - happily responded with,
"Of course!"
I should call her…
Nozomi thought about it, and decided to do so. In a heartbeat the call was answered.
"Elichi, working late again?"
"Ah, no I was stopping by someplace. I'll be home soon, so don't worry!" Eli said of the phone,
"Where did you stop by?" Nozomi said not a single bit worried of course she had reasons to trust Eli completely,
"I went by a restaurant and got some yakiniku for us." Nozomi smiled delighted she could eat her favorite food of all time.
"Since you went through all that, I'll get some of your favorite chocolates sometime later."
"REALLY? E-eh I'm mean thank you!"
Harashoo...
Eli was about five minutes away from their house. She was smiling happy to know that Nozomi was satisfied with her getting some yakiniku, but of course it was her favorite.
"I'm home!" Eli said.
"Welcome back Elichi." Nozomi kissed her lover's cheek,
"What was that? I wanted it here." Eli pointed at her lips, making a pout. Nozomi laughed and gladly kissed Eli on the lips.
"I'll go set the table while you go get changed, and what do you want to drink?"
"Some tea would be fine." Eli answered as walked away towards their bedroom.
Anniversary Day
Late… will she make it?
Nozomi thought worriedly as it was almost time to go out. She waited for Eli to call, to tell her 'Let's get going'.
It was already 13 minutes past the scheduled time, yet suddenly there was a knock at the door. Nozomi was hoping to find Eli, but instead found a man with a suit.
"Good evening Madam Tojo, will you please follow me to the car?" Nozomi gave a very questioning look.
"Oi Nozomi, hurry up!" Nozomi peeked past the man and saw Maki from the back seat. Nozomi decided it was safe to go, and followed the man to the car.
This is more like a limo…
Nozomi thought, she then asked Maki a question.
"Maki-chan why are you here?"
"I was sent. Now get it before we it is too late for you to even see outside." Maki urged. Nozomi wanted to ask more but did as she was asked. After a few minutes of being driven around, the car… eh limo came to a stop.
"Follow me Nozomi." Maki instructed.
The had come to a stop at a restaurant, Nozomi was thinking all sorts of things at the moment like:
Why?
Who sent her?
"Hold on." Maki said, as she entered a room that said VIP. Maki came out of the room and pointed to a set of stairs and walked towards them after a second Nozomi took that as a sign to follow her.
Meanwhile…
Calm Eli… calm
Eli was nervously playing with her hands or really anything to keep her busy as she waited.
"This is way too long." Eli whispered out.
Nozomi followed her up to the second floor and was led to a room labeled 'Private'. Maki slid open the door and pushed Nozomi in and quickly closed the door behind her. Nozomi looked back a second, yet eventually turning around finding herself in an old traditional room decorated with lilies. Eli was sitting in there playing with her fingers and an assortment of foods on a table.
"Elichi? What are you doing here?" Nozomi asked causing Eli to look up surprised.
"Oh, I wanted for us to come here as our first visit for our anniversary. Then we'll go to any place you want after we eat." Eli answered as Nozomi took her seat across from her.
"Alright then, let's eat." Nozomi said.
After half an hour they finished eating and Eli asked Nozomi if she wanted to go anywhere, Nozomi of course had some places in mind. They ended up going to 3 other places and ended up at Otonokizaka High's garden by Eli's request. Nozomi and Eli were now laying down on the grass and talking about their memories.
"Kotori can you see them?" Umi whispered.
"Yes they are laying down on the grass, talking" Kotori said looking back from the binoculars. Umi then pulled out her phone and called Nico.
"Nico it's time, call Eli now." Umi said, as she and Kotori walked towards their car.
Eli phone started vibrating she knew what was happening, she looked to her side Nozomi was watering the flowers.
Even after all these years…
Eli smiled, and snuck around the corner and answered the call.
"Eli we are ready here at the house, so hurry up! You got 20 minutes remaining until I agreed to leave." Eli smiled.
"Alright I'm coming." Eli ended the call and sat up she walked over to Nozomi.
"I got one last place for us to visit, but you'll need to be blindfolded."
"Blindfolded? What for exactly?" Nozomi asked.
"I can't tell you it would ruin the surprise right?" Eli smiled.
Eli had Nozomi blindfolded as she drove over to Maki's house. She assisted Nozomi out of the car and into the house. Everyone was inside sitting quietly waiting for them, and when they arrived they got the last few things prepared.
"Alright Nozomi you can take it off now." Eli said, and Nozomi untied the knot at the back of her head. The next thing she saw was all her friends, her and Eli's parents, and Eli down on one knee with a ring resting in a small box. Her eyes started stinging and tears started flowing down her cheeks.
"From the moment I first saw you in high school and to this moment right now I always knew I would want to spend the rest of my life with you." Eli started. Nozomi was covering her mouth to prevent any sobs to escape her mouth.
"I always dreamed for this moment to come and here it is." Eli paused for that dramatic effect.
Here goes nothing…
"Will you, Tojo Nozomi, marry me?" Eli put on a smile. Everyone around them held their breaths. Nozomi pulled her hand away from her face revealing a bright smile rivaling the sun itself.
"Yes" Nozomi managed to speak out. Eli got up from her positon and put the ring on Nozomi, and captured her in a short yet passionate kiss. Everyone was clapping all around and that night they spent their time celebrating the soon to be newlyweds.
Months later…
"Do you, Ayase Eli, take Tojo Nozomi to be your lawfully wedded wife?" The priest said.
"I do."
"And do you, Tojo Nozomi, take Ayase Eli to be your lawfully wedded wife?"
"I do."
Everyone; friends and families, were smiling all around them.
"And so by the power invested in me, I now pronounce you wife and wife."
"You may now kiss the bride." The priest said as he pointed to Eli then towards Nozomi. Eli then proceeded to pull Nozomi into a kiss, and everyone around them cheered for the newlywed. Everyone was now out dancing or just sitting around talking away.
Omake (Next day)
"Our flight is in an hour, so I guess we part here." Eli said. Nozomi and Eli gave their friends hugs, and after they went off towards their flight.
"We'll see you guys in a month! Also I hope you guys have a great time in Hawaii!" Honoka shouted out catching a few people's attention. Nozomi and Eli hand in hand said their final goodbye's and left to go to their honeymoon in Hawaii.
