Once again, Asanoya is love, Asanoya is life!

Enjoy! XD

+1.

They've been together for a total of seven years.

Seven years filled with lots of hand holdings, kisses, cuddles and snuggles, making love, fights, tears, anger, hurt, comfort, happiness, and most of all: love.

No matter how much the two of them fight, usually either to protect each other or over trivial things (except that one time when Asahi and Yuu were both so busy they missed each other so bad and let the frustrations get to them), they always make up.

Aside from being so in love with one another, fate seems to have a favoritism on them and it was shown by them receiving a reward: Yuu had been scouted and he could enter the same university as Asahi purely by sports scholarship, which both didn't mind in the slightest. Soon enough, he and Asahi, along with Daichi and Koushi formed an unofficial group in college. Even though all four have friends of their own they always seem to just comfortably fall back to each other.

And now... a year after graduating, with a current stable job that could pay their apartment rent every month with his boyfriend living in it, Asahi couldn't be happier.

That is… if tonight all goes according to plan.

But the thing is, usually with Yuu things most of the time doesn't go according to plan.

So when he heard a racket coming inside their apartment while he was fumbling with his keys, Asahi couldn't say he was surprised. But when he heard a yelp and something hard landing on the ground, his heart almost stopped.

"YUU!" Not even bothered to take off his shoes or close the front door, the glass heart man runs towards the kitchen to find his boyfriend sprawled on the ground next to a fallen chair.

"Oh my gosh, Yuu! Are you okay?" The younger man is using his hand to prop himself up against the floor while using his other hand to massage his head. Asahi quickly put his arm around his shoulder so he could lean on him while placing his other hand on the others' cheek to take a good look at him.

Yuu hissed, "Fine, fine. I'm fine, just… my head hurts as fuck" He normally doesn't like Yuu cursing, but this time he feels relieved because if Yuu can still curse then that means he's not going to pass out anytime soon. Thank God for small mercies.

"Here, let me take a look." Yuu grumbled but still comply as he put his forehead against Asahi's strong chest, sucking in the warmth and smell of his boyfriend to distract himself from the pain. Thankfully, Asahi was skillful and gentle so Yuu didn't feel uncomfortable too much when two large hands examine the back of his head.

When Asahi was finished, he patted Yuu's back and said, "I think you'll be alright. You're going to have quite a bump, though." Yuu started to whine while burying his head further in Asahi's chest, his arms now around the giant's waist.

Asahi chuckles, "Seriously, though, someday you're going to give me a heart attack, Yuu." He looks around at the mess. It isn't too messy, there was no sign of broken utensils that could cut Yuu in any way, instead there was just a chair out of it's place. Yuu probably used it to reach something in the cupboar-

Asahi's head snapped around to look at the open cupboard which was placed quite high by the interior designer of the apartment building. His head snapped back towards the floor, eyes searching for an object.

'If Yuu fell with it, then… no… it can't be! Please don't let it be-' And that's when his eyes found a small black box on the floor, which was open, and a ring which had fallen and landed not too far from it.

His engagement ring.

The one he bought two months ago with Daichi and Suga.

He was going to propose with it. To Yuu.

Tonight.

His eyes then snapped towards the younger male in front of him. When he put his hands on Yuu's shoulders to pull him away from his chest, he could see that the smaller man's face was very red and his eyes were looking at anywhere but Asahi. He instantly mimicked his lover's face.

"Uh… did-did you…?"

"Did I see? Of course I did, otherwise I wouldn't fall then would I?"

"Wh-why were you up there anyway?"

"I was hungry… I know you're the one who usually prepares the plates and bowls because it's too high for me to reach, but I wanted mac and cheese! And you said you're gonna be home late tonight, so I decided to do it myself!"

Yes. Tonight. He had plans tonight, that's why he said he was gonna be home late!

"I was going to take you out for dinner…"

"Oh. But I didn't know that now, did I?"

"Yuu, stop being such a smartass."

"You like me being a smartass."

"No, I just like your ass." He squeezed Yuu's ass to make a point, making the younger gasp and grabs his shirt in surprise.

"Asahi! Is this really the time?" At any other time, Asahi would beg to differ because normally it was Yuu who's always up for sex. But for now, he kept quiet.

"Hey… is that… what I think it is?" Yuu nodded at the ring on the ground not too far away from them, his eyes wide and cheeks red. Accepting that there was no way around this, Asahi surrenders to the situation at hand. After closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, he moved to stand up while pulling Yuu up with him. With a trembling hand he picks up the fallen ring before turning back to his boyfriend -and hopefully, soon-to-be fiancee- and getting down on one knee while presenting the ring in his hand. He watches as Yuu's eyes slowly widen.

"Yuu…" He stuttered, suddenly feeling like a high school boy again, wanting to just drop everything and run away to his room and never look back. But it's okay, he thought, because it's Yuu… It's always okay whenever it's with Yuu.

He was also grateful that Yuu was being patient with him, even though his eyes clearly says it's taking everything in him not to burst with overwhelming feelings.

"Yuu… I… we've- we've been together for a long time. The day we first met, I knew you were going to have a special place in my life, but I didn't think you would be this special. There were countless times when I have doubts in myself, but each time you've given me the courage and confidence to move forward. There were also times where you pushed yourself too much, and it's become unbearable for me, not- not because I want you to stop giving your all but because I want to always be there for you… especially whenever the world becomes too much for you. I want to support you like you've always support everyone around you… like how you've always support me." By this time, Asahi -and to his surprise- Yuu have tears flowing out of their eyes. But Asahi didn't want to stop, he wants Yuu to know how much he loves him. How much he's ready to take the next step with him.

While his trembling hand was holding up the symbol of his love for Yuu, he lifted the other one to take one of Yuu's in his. "I love you so much, Yuu… and I want to always support you and be with you. You… you've always asked me to stay with you, and right now, I'm asking you to stay with me. Forever."

"Asahi…" Yuu choked while biting his lips to try and keep himself quiet. His hair was down and not in his usual gelled-up style. His face was red and messy with tears but at this moment, right now, Asahi thought his lover never looked so beautiful.

Asahi smiled and squeezed the small hand in his large one. The small hand that belongs to the person he loves very much, more than anyone else in this world. "So, with all being said…Yuu, will you marry me?"

Bursting more tears, Yuu wasted no time in tackling Asahi, making both of them land on the floor once more. "Y-Yuu-" "YES! Yes, you big oaf! The answer's yes! How can it be anything other than yes!" Soon the two of them were laughing with tears and snot on their faces, but both could care less as Asahi moved to place the ring on his fiancee's ring finger. He watches as Yuu formed the biggest grin on his face -scratch that, this is Yuu's most beautiful face- before the younger gave him a passionate kiss.

"I love you, Asahi- I love you so much," Yuu says with excitement while peppering kisses all over Asahi's face. "and damn we're gonna get married! Wait 'til I tell Ryuu and Saeko-neesan about this" As if realizing something, Asahi tensed.

"Shit!" Being caught off guard at his fiancee cursing, Yuu pulled away.

"Asahi, did you just curse?"

"Oh god, Tanaka's going to kill me! Shitshitshit"

"What? Why would Ryuu kill you? Wait, don't tell me you didn't ask his permission to marry me?" Yuu joked while giggling, obviously not noticing Asahi's distress.

"Of course I did!" That caught him off guard again.

"You did? You asked Ryuu's permission to marry me?" Yuu asked, his tone filled with amusement and somewhat incredulity.

"Right after asking your parents! But that's not the problem here" Asahi whimpered the last part.

Yuu was about to ask again what the problem actually was, but the sound of Asahi's phone going off cut him off. When Asahi didn't answer and instead look from Yuu to his phone and repeats the motion three times, Yuu had just about enough. So he grabbed the phone from his lover's hand, tapping the screen while he uses his other hand to push Asahi (who was trying to get his phone back) away from him. He didn't have the chance to answer with a 'hello', though.

"ASAHI! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU YOU BIG TEDDY-BEAR, YOU SHOULD'VE BEEN HERE HALF AN HOUR AGO!"

"Daichi, keep your voice down! What if Yuu's there with him!"

"Maybe he's stuck in traffic, Daichi-san. Calm down, please."

"No, no, no, no! We've been stuck in traffic, Chikara, and we even got to the restaurant before him!"

"You're as impatient as always, Tanaka-san"

"Pffft"

"Oy, Tsukishima, Yamaguchi! Come here and have the taste of your senpais fist of love! It's been a long time don't ya think!?"

"I'd rather not… and you're not my senpai anymore, Tanaka-san."

"Wow. Look at you acting all high and mighty."

"I don't want to hear that from you, your majesty."

"You're still calling me that!?"

"Mannn, you're so loud, Kageyamaaa!"

"And I don't want to hear that from you, dumbass!"

"Wha- seriously! We've been together five years, and you still call me that!"

"Uwooohh, someone's sleeping on the couch tonight~"

"Tsk!"

"ALL OF YOU SHUT UP!" And suddenly the couple heard nothing but quiet, that is only for a few seconds."Asahi, where. The. Hell. Are. You."

Asahi gulped. "II'm, uh…"

"He's still at home, Daichi-san!" The other side of the call went quiet again.

"NOYA!?"

"So what's this about a restaurant, Ryuu? Was Asahi supposed to propose to me there?" chuckled Yuu in amusement.

"Yuu!" Asahi's whine made Yuu laugh even more. Then, various responses and complaints were heard.

"What the hell!?"

"Asahi, you do know how proposing works, right?"

"Of course I do, Koushi! What do you take me for!?"

"Okay, now I'm confused." Asahi and Yuu can practically hear the others nodding with agreement, so they decided to explain what happened.

With all things cleared (and after a lot of teasing from Daichi and Koushi of 'Of course this kind of thing only happens to Asahi'), the ex-Karasuno High School Volleyball Club members decided to cancel the reservation at the restaurant and instead opted to visit the Azumane-Nishinoya apartment to celebrate the newly-engaged couple. It turns out, Kiyoko and Yachi were also there but sadly Coach Ukai and Takeda-sensei were unable to come because they were busy with the new batch of volleyball members. However they did send their wishes.

With junk food, cake and alcohol involved, the visit became a party-slash-reunion of some sort.

"To Asahi and Yuu!" Daichi said, "The most frustrating couple I've ever known-" "Oy!" "really it's so tiring seeing you two pining obviously for each other for all those years. I hope you have a long and happy life together! Kanpai!"

"KANPAI!"

True enough, it's been quite a frustrating journey for the couple. They had to deal with losses, abandonment, anger, sadness, dangers, misunderstandings, separation, longing, yearning, hardship, and more… but on the other hand they get to experience winning, mending their relationship, forgiveness, happiness, saving each other, communicate more with each other, reuniting, falling in love with each other, and just being there for each other.

With that thought in mind, while celebrating the special night with their long-time friends and most of all their fiancee, Asahi and Yuu could not be happier.

End.

Omake:

"I want to marry Yuu."

"That's great, Asahi-san! But, uh... why are you kneeling like that?"

"B-because I want to, umm, to ask your permission..."

"...Asahi-san. You do know I'm not Noya-san's dad, right…?"

"Y-yeah, but Yuu's an only child, and you're practically his brother, so I figured..."

"..."

"Tanaka? Are you crying?"

"NO!"

"…"

"Tanaka-" "SO! You want to marry Yuu, huh?"

"Y-yes!"

"Very well. Why don't you tell me, city boy, what you're willing to sacrifice for my bro's hand in marriage!"

The End.
