Guess what the theme is before you reach the end and claim your virtual cookie here. :D
Mystery Theme
Yaten wasn't the nervous type. He was a natural uncaring person, often rolling any type of pressure off of his shoulders as though it were dirt. He never fidgeted. He never bit his nails, and he never paced the room. But this was different. This was Seiya and his pride that he was thinking of.
If he sat, his legs would tremble violently. If he stood, he would pace the room. All the while, he would bite his perfectly manicured nails. Yaten was a mess, and he shouldn't be. He wasn't the one putting his reputation, his pride, his humiliation at stake. Seiya was. And it bothered him to no end. Sure, he acted like he didn't care about his leader. Sure, they fought a lot. But Seiya was Yaten's brother. They grew up together, and it hurt him to see Seiya upset for any reason. So he had to protect him – though, so far, he was doing a terrible job of it.
Yaten huffed, tossing himself unceremoniously onto the couch. Calm, calm, calm Yaten.
The idol sat up, his emerald gaze shifting to Taiki, who sat at his desk typing away at something Yaten didn't care to know about.
"Taiki, aren't you in the least bit worried about him?"
Taiki, stopped typing, sitting back in his chair and pushing his glasses up his nose. He sighed, "Of course I am. But you know how he is. He won't give up until he has an official answer."
Yaten frowned, raking his hand through his hair. "You're right."
Taiki smiled, "Why don't you go for a walk or jog or something? Maybe it'll help you calm down."
Yaten blinked, shaking his head and laying back down on the couch, "And sweat? No, thank you."
"Then stop moving, or I'll strap you to your bed."
Yaten tensed, shrinking into the couch. He nibbled on his lip. Please be okay, Seiya.
Usagi sighed, puffing out her cheeks in annoyance. For the past ten minutes, Seiya had been covering her eyes with his hand, leading her to wherever he was headed. For all she knew, he could be leading her to some place private, where he might try to have his way with her.
She smiled, chuckling softly to herself. No, Seiya would never do that. He was much too kind for that.
"Ne, Seiya, where are we going?"
"It's a surprise, Odango."
Usagi knew he was smiling. She could feel it…hear it. Eventually, they stopped.
"Close your eyes," he commanded and she listened.
Seiya looped his arms under Usagi's knees, scooping her up bridal style. She squeaked, nearly opening her eyes, but she didn't. She trusted Seiya. He wouldn't let her fall. She shuddered as the somewhat chilly wind blew against her. She snuggled close to Seiya, holding onto him tightly. He was running, but she didn't see what the rush was. Were they in danger?
After a few minutes, he set her down and covered her eyes with his hand once more. He led her for a few minutes more. She was becoming violently impatient, but she would wait. Seiya loved to surprise her and she didn't mind. It made her heart swell in a way Mamoru never had.
The couple came to a halt. Seiya removed his hand from Usagi's eyes, and he pulled away from her. She frowned slightly. What was going on?
"You can open your eyes now, Odango."
Slowly, she opened her eyes, gasping and smiling brightly. She pressed her face against the window in front of her. They were on top of the Tokyo Tower, with a view of Japan in its beautiful nightlife. Usagi bit her lip, fighting the tears of happiness that sprung to her eyes. Mamoru had never, ever done something like this for her.
She turned around, blinking when she found Seiya kneeling on one knee. Did he hurt himself when he carried her?
"Usagi Tsukino,"
Usagi blinked again, her eyebrows furrowing in confusion. Seiya never called her by her full name.
"We've had our ups and downs throughout the years. I've had to chase you for many of them, but I've finally caught you. No," Seiya shook his head. "You've caught me. You caught me from the moment we were born. The moon had always had a hidden star, but no one ever bothered to look."
"Seiya? What are you –"
"Usagi, I love you. I love you more than my own life. I'd die a thousand deaths just to keep your shine in this world. I was a lost soul before you, and I don't want to live that life again."
"You don't have to, Seiya," Usagi croaked slightly, her tears freely falling now.
"Usagi Tsukino, my Odango-atama. Will you marry me?" The idol reached into his pocket, pulling out a small black box. He opened it to reveal a diamond encrusted crescent moon faced ring. Layered on top of the moon was a ruby in the shape of a star.
Usagi's knees buckled, and she slid to the floor, pulling Seiya into a warm embrace. "Yes."
Seiya smiled, slipping the ring onto her finger and capturing her lips.
"I'll be the moon's hidden star forever."
Was your guess right? :O
Theme: Popping the Question
Sorry if it's cheesy, or something. I'm not that good at romance. Oh, and I don't know what the real Tokyo Tower is like, so we'll just pretend it's really like this. xD
