Noll was in trouble. Big trouble.

He had spent the last fortnight organising an event, but had yet to ask a key person to attend.

A key person that without, the entire event would be entirely pointless.

And yet the sheer quantity of work needed to organise the event had prevented him from inviting said person.

He very much wanted to invite this person, personally, before his parents appeared and his mother gave the whole game away. If he was perfectly honest with himself, Noll was surprised Yasuhara and Madoka hadn't spoiled it already.

Noll let himself into his apartment on Friday evening and slipped his shoes off.

"Naru?" Mai called through from the lounge.

"Yes," he replied.

"Do you want tea?"

"No."

"Huh?" Mai turned on the sofa as Noll entered the room. "Are you alright?"

Was he alright?

No. No he was not alright. Not in the slightest.

"Yes," he lied.

She frowned at him.

"Then why don't you want tea? You always want tea."

"I'm not thirsty."

Mai's frown deepened. Noll winced slightly.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Mai asked, obviously genuinely concerned.

"Mai, are you busy this weekend?"

"A little?"

"What are you doing on Sunday?" he asked.

"Ayako mentioned going shopping or something, nothing major, why?"

"I'm giving you two weeks off starting on Monday."

"What?" Mai looked nonplussed. "I didn't request time off, why? Is it because I ended up in hospital last time?"

"No."

"Are you trying to sack me?"

"Don't be ridiculous."

"Then why are you giving me time off."

"You'll need it."

"What? You're making no sense Naru."

"You're going to have to cancel with Ayako as well," Noll continued.

"But I want to go shopping with her," Mai protested. "I've been saving!"

"You won't need to worry about saving money anymore." Not that she needed to at the moment anyway, Noll had always helped her out if she needed it.

Mai folded her arms across her chest.

"Right, explain right now," she demanded.

"I need you elsewhere on Sunday."

"Where?" Mai asked.

"With me."

"Naru, stop playing about, what on earth is going on?"

"I need to show you something."

Noll's apartment, which was shared by Mai, had only four rooms; the open plan kitchen-diner-living space which connected to a hall, their bedroom, the bathroom and Noll's home office. Normally, Mai would have the run of the place, but in the last few weeks, Noll had taken to locking his office. Not that Mai would usually go in there, but just to be sure.

"No, tell me what's going on," she insisted.

"Mai, please?"

She paused at his sudden increase in politeness.

"Naru? What's wrong? You're really starting to worry me."

"I need to show you something," he repeated and slowly, as if she sensed how nervous he was, Mai nodded.

He took her hand and led her to his office. He unlocked the door and took a deep breath before opening the door and letting her inside.

"What…" But Mai faltered when she saw what was inside.

It was the most beautiful white dress she had ever seen with an embroidered bodice and a flowing princess skirt.

"Do you like it?"

Mai spun around to look at Noll.

"I don't understand, why do you have…?" She gestured towards the dress.

"Is it really that hard to guess?"

"Well you haven't made a lot of sense so far this evening," Mai protested with a pout.

"Do you know what that is?"

"A wedding dress," Mai said.

"And what do people use wedding dresses for?"

"Getting married?" Mai suggested. "But who's getting married?"

"We are."

"What?"

Noll faltered at Mai's confusion.

"If you want," he added quickly.

"But we've only been going out a little while…"

"Two years, seven months and twenty six days."

Mai's mouth fell open.

"You mean it?"

"Of course."

"You want to marry me?"

"On Sunday," Noll clarified.

"But what about sorting everything out."

"I've taken care of it."

"But then…"

"Two weeks off for a honeymoon."

"You're going to take two weeks off of work?" Mai asked incredulously. Noll tried not to look annoyed at this question.

"Only if you marry me."

"Where are we going?"

"Africa, safari. If you marry me."

"And if I don't, you'll just let it go to waste?"

"Of course not, I'll give it to my parents or Madoka and Lin."

"Are you sure?"

"Well I wouldn't want it to go to waste."

"I meant, are you sure you want to marry me?"

"Yes," Noll stared down at Mai, who stared back at him. "Mai," Noll said as he bent down on one knee. "Will you marry me?"

"The others all know, don't they?"

"For a few weeks, yes."

"And they are going to tease me mercilessly for being clueless, aren't they?"

"Yes, but do you care?" Noll asked, still on one knee.

"Not at all."

"Well? Will you marry me?"

Mai paused for thought.

"Mrs Mai Davis," she mused. "I guess that doesn't sound too bad."

"Mai…?"

"Yes, I will marry you!"

Mai threw herself into Noll's arms and she grinned.

"Is this a dream?" she whispered.

"I hope not," Noll whispered back.

Mai giggled.

"So," Mai began. "Just out of interest, what about the ring?"

Noll froze.

Now he really was in trouble.

He'd forgotten the ring.

Mai seemed to realise this and laughed.

"I…"

"It's okay," Mai said, still laughing. "You've done enough."

Noll relaxed visibly.

"I guess you'll have to rearrange that shopping trip with Ayako," Noll said.

"I guess I will, but not right now," Mai said as she took hold of Noll's shirt and dragged him towards the bedroom. He frowned at her and she rolled her eyes. "Need to get some practice in before the honeymoon and besides-" She grinned at her fiancé. "Your parent's will want grandchildren."

"I'm not opposed to that idea," Noll said as he let Mai lead him.

"Girl or boy?"

"She'll be a girl," Noll said.

"Are you using your abilities?" Mai asked with a frown.

"Not at all."

"Because if you were, you'd be in trouble."

Author's note: So for the same reason as Thursday's prompt, you get this one too!

This idea came from that show "Don't tell the bride" where a guy organises an entire wedding and the bride has no say in it! It's one of my guilty pleasure crappy daytime TV shows that I like to watch as its usually pretty funny!

And this is the end of Fluff week! Hopefully AmyNChan will upload the details of our next themed week to the forum!

I hope you enjoyed it all!

Please review :)
