'I hope I didn't make you too upset, Shizuru. I promise I will make it up to you later.' Thought Natsuki as she rode her bike fast to reach to Mai's place soon.
Upon arriving, she took off her helmet and immediately ran up the stairs of the dorm and within less than a minute, she knocked on the door.
"Hi, Natsuki, come…" Before Mai could finish, Natsuki had already walked into her room. Mai shook her head and closed the door.
"Natsuki! Come, let's eat Mai's ramen." Mikoto said excitedly and she was sitting in front on the food.
"Later, Mikoto, you go ahead first." She told the younger girl and waited for Mai beside her bed.
"So, what is it? Tell me the details." Mai asked her and sat on her bed. She patted to the space next to her for Natsuki to sit.
"Mai, I guess you should know by now that I'm with Shizuru now as a couple. But I need your help tonight…" Natsuki informed Mai what she wanted her friend to do for her. By the time they had finished talking, Mikoto had finished all the food. Mai had to cook her share again. Natsuki left their room and made her way to her apartment to change her clothes before she went to fetch Shizuru.
Natsuki reached her home and decided to have shower. After showering, she changed into a pair of jeans and a black sweater since it was going to be cold at night. She called Shizuru to inform her that she would be picking her up soon. She was excited about her plan.
Later, at Shizuru's place, Natsuki knocked on the door and she saw Shizuru. Shizuru, who was also wearing a pair of jeans, was in her white sweater. They looked at each other and laughed when they saw what they both were wearing. Shizuru was happy to see Natsuki again.
"Ara, Natsuki, we are like a couple who planned to wear almost the same." Shizuru couldn't help but teased her. Natsuki blushed at her comment but considering that tonight was important to her, she brushed it aside.
"Are you ready to go?" She asked Shizuru.
"Ara, Natsuki seem eager to go to Mai's karaoke session." Shizuru teased her again.
"Yes, I am." Natsuki said sarcastically and they left Shizuru's place. Shizuru found Natsuki was acting suspiciously but she just played along and followed her.
Once they reached at the karaoke place, they entered the room. Everyone was already there and Nao was the first to speak.
"Finally, the doggy and its master have arrived." She smirked while saying that. Shizuru covered her mouth and giggled, Natsuki's face turned red.
"Shut up!" Natsuki glared at her.
"Alright, both you can tone it down. Hello, Fujino-san. Come, Natsuki, I need your help."
Before leaving with Mai, Natsuki led Shizuru to sit before Mai and her disappeared together. Shizuru frowned at her for a second and wondered where her Natsuki was going. Before she could react, Mikoto had sat next to her and distracted her.
Shizuru had ordered a can of warm green tea since that was the only tea they had and drank her tea patiently while waiting for her Natsuki to return. She observed her surroundings and noticed the couples around her. Chie and Aoi was being lovey dovey while looking at Chie's camera phone, most probably about some latest gossips.
Yukino and Haruka were smiling lovingly at each other. It was a surprise to see the loud Haruka to be quiet next to Yukino, Shizuru smiled to herself when she saw this. As for Nao, she was busy with Midori as the 'forever seventeen'-school teacher was trying to take advantage of her and it seemed that she had a few jugs of beer by herself. Last but not least, Mikoto, was just Mikoto who was busy with the finger food.
A short moment later, all the lights were off and it was dark inside the big karaoke room.
Suddenly, the lights were on again and it was dimmer than before. Then the music started to play. In front of everyone, stood Natsuki, Shizuru was shocked to see her.
"Natsuki." Was the only word that came out from her mouth.
"Shizuru, this is for you." Natsuki was holding to a bouquet of roses and passed them to Shizuru, then she began to sing for her precious person.
mmm...m.mmm I don't wanna go another day
C'mon
So I'm telling you exactly what is on my mind
Seems like everybody's breaking up
And throwing their love away
But I know I got a good thing right here
That's why i say:hey
Mai and Mikoto joined Natsuki to sing the chorus with her. They were her back-up singers and dancers for the night. Natsuki felt more confident as she sang with her friends supporting her.

Nobody gonna take me higher
Im must stickwitu (mmmmmm)
You know how to 'preciate me
Im must stickwitu

"Go, go, Natsuki!" Midori shouted out loud followed by a few whistles. She was hugging Nao who was trying her best to push her away. Chie was busy recording the whole scene with her phone. Even Haruka gave Natsuki two thumbs up for her act and kissed Yukino passionately who was surprised by her actions.

Shizuru was looking at her Natsuki and was listening to the entire song quietly. She slowly stood up and slowly approached Natsuki. By the time the song ended, Natsuki was standing in front of Shizuru. Shizuru was shivering from all sorts of feelings she felt at that moment and Natsuki held both her hands before speaking to her.
"Shizuru, I'm sorry that I took a long time before I said I love you. Tonight, I want to let you know that I will never let you go and I'm going to stick with you forever. Everyone here will be my witness. Unless, you get tired of me one day and decide that you won't to be with me." Natsuki looked into Shizuru's eyes and said that to her. Shizuru was crying and everyone else saw that for the first time.
"Natsuki, I will never get tired of you. I love you too. More than you ever know." She kissed and hugged Natsuki tightly, clinging on to her as though her life depended on it. Everyone else cheered for them and even Nao was smiling discreetly at them.
"Ok, everyone, this calls for a celebration for our happy couple!" Mai said out loud them and Arika appeared beside her with a cake to celebrate with them.
"Ara, Arika, you're here." Shizuru was surprised to see her cousin.
"Well, Natsuki called me at the last minute and told me to come here. I'm happy for both of you." Arika pulled both them to cut the cake.
Natsuki and Shizuru stood before everyone and cut the cake together. They never felt this happy and fulfilled in their life. After cutting the cake, Natsuki pulled Shizuru to a corner and asked her an important question.
"Shizuru, I would like to ask you if you want to move in with me." She was blushing heavily and was hoping for an answer. What she didn't expect to see, was that Shizuru was crying and she immediately panicked.
"Shizuru, I'm sorry, take your time…." Before she could finish, Shizuru kissed her hard and it turned passionate. Everyone turned to see them and was amused to see that the cold wolf was no longer what she used to be.
After they had ended their kiss, Natsuki was breathless and looked at Shizuru, expecting her answer.
"I don't want to take my time, Natsuki. Yes, I will move in with you. Thank you for making my dream comes true." She said lovingly to her Natsuki. Both of them stared into each other's eyes and spoke affectionate words to each other. That night was filled with happiness for them and they continued their journey together in life to face any new challenges to come.
