#1 Ring - It seemed so absurd that Kyousuke could somehow have arranged for a giant trail of rose petals strewn through the town leading Riki to finding him straddled upon a white horse, but he didn't so much as ask while he was pulled up, knowing that Kyousuke had his ways and he couldn't say no when that glittering ring was presented to him.
