This is Ezzy-chan, and Ezzy-chan has some great news for you! All of you Takuto/Mitsuki lovers will love this. This is the short series: "Ways to Say You're Pregnant". Each chapter will be a new bit of Takuto and Mitsuki, and you can only guess what will be said by the end of each chapter. Yup. Those infamous two words often found in gushy romance books, and the infamous Twilight, or should I say, Breaking Dawn? Actually, I personally don't like the series anymore. That is NOT one of the ways to admit that you are pregnant. So, I've got some better ways, with a better couple, in better situations. Be prepared.
This one will be short, because I have to write it while my bestie friend is still over. (say hi, Leah-chan) Leah-chan says hi.
Disclaimer: I do not own Full Moon Wo Sagashite. (Leah-chan doesn't either, don't ask)
Those Three Words
They had been dating for almost three years now, so Mitsuki was about to turn eighteen. Everyone was shocked that Takuto hadn't gotten down on one knee yet, but Takuto had to lie about his age to make their dating actually legal, but details are simply pointless details. Nobody really needs to know them, do they? Takuto can pretend to be eighteen for only so long, though... Oh well.
Meroko had gotten over it. She had gone with Izumi-kun, and Jonathon just tagged along like an annoying in-law, which was fine by Izumi-kun. Not by Meroko though. A ghost following you was not at all normal.
Not that it matter. Takuto and Mitsuki were having the time of their lives, walking around town and shopping in little pointless shops filled with cute charms and random crafts as the sun set, painting the sky indigo, black and orange, as well as various shades of pink and red. "Mitsuki?" That is, until a certain scatter-brained brunette got sidetracked. (surprise!) "Mitsuki where are you?" Takuto whirled to run back the way he had come to find his girlfriend. He was about to take off, blue-gray eyes narrowed in anticipation, long legs bent in preparation for the sprint to come, hair pulled back from his face in that rat's tail of his, when Mitsuki popped out of nowhere, a small bag in hand. "Whoa!" Her appearance had not been foreseen by Takuto, and he nearly knocked over a stand behind him, but he quickly caught himself with a catlike grace, most likely remnants from his shinigami days.
"I'm sorry, Takuto. I got distracted, even though this is our date," Mitsuki apologized, bowing slightly before hugging him.
Takuto blushed lightly. "Ah! No problem, r-really. I was just about to look for you," he admitted. Then he looked down at her right hand, clutching the bag. "Did you buy something?"
Mitsuki hung her head, curly brown hair acting as a curtain to hide her shame. Once she turned fourteen she had begun to let it down, and Takuto couldn't complain. It was fun to play with occasionally, if he was going to be totally truthful. "Um… no?" she answered, sounding uncertain.
"I thought we agreed I was buying everything today?" Takuto asked.
He had been about to reach for it too, catch her off-guard, but she was faster, shoving it into her purse, forcing it to fit with amazing speed.
Takuto blinked, taken aback. "Uh…"
Mitsuki adjusted the yellow straps of her sundress, smiling brightly. "It's a surprise! You love surprises!" Then her face grew downright scary. "Right, Takuto?" There was a shadow over her eyes, and whenever there was a flicker of light, it caused an eerie gleam in her hazel eyes. (what the heck color are her eyes?)
Takuto scratched the back of his head, suddenly nervous. Then he pulled at the blue collar of his button-up jacket. "I guess… So, I'll be surprised…"
Mitsuki's face lit up once more, and her boyfriend felt blinded, as if he was seeing the sun for the first time. "Yay! Let's look at a couple of stores and then go for a walk," she suggested, leaning on his shoulder, looking up at him through full eye-lashes. For a moment he was speechless.
"Sure," the boy answered, putting one hand in his jeans pocket. "Where the hell did she learn that from?" he muttered nearly inaudibly under his breath.
The keyword there is nearly.
"Meroko," Mitsuki replied happily in a whisper that Takuto did not catch.
After shopping in a couple of stores, the couple walked hand in hand down a road through a park. (it was conveniently there) Occasionally they would kiss each other on the cheek or forehead, but nothing more.
For now.
As they walked, Mitsuki eyed the necklace that was now resting against her skin, cool to the touch and in the shape of a simple, elegant silver crescent moon. "You know you didn't have to buy this for me, right, Takuto?" she pointed out, though she obviously was happy. Her eyes had been glued to that thing whenever they weren't on Takuto.
Or the random pretty rock that was on the side of the road, but that's just because Mitsuki is scatterbrained. (as I said before)
They continued until they came to a bridge, where Mitsuki decided things would be perfect.
Takuto did not realize until a second too late that Mitsuki was sitting down on the edge of the bridge, swinging her legs back and forth in a carefree way, humming one of her new songs: Forever There. So, he clumsily crashed on the edge, managing to save himself from a nasty dip into the river below, and coming into a sitting position beside her. "What was that for?" he asked, glaring at her, which is really impossible seeing as he loved her to death.
He watched as Mitsuki slowly slid the bag she had bought earlier from her white purse. The surprise? Already? Takuto looked at her, waiting for the surprise. "You ready for the surprise?" she asked.
Takuto nodded.
She sighed, staring at their reflections in the water. "Well, you know those three words that are always really hard to say?" she asked.
Takuto blinked, not quite following.
Mitsuki noted his clueless stare and made a more direct approach. "You know those three words that the main character always has trouble saying in those romance novels?"
Takuto's heart leapt. Love you too, Mitsuki, he thought. But, since he wanted her to say it first, he nodded, anticipating the next three words.
"Well…" Mitsuki began to nervously clutch and twist the bottom of her dress. Then, without warning, she reached into the bag and pulled out a blue pacifier and shouted, "It's a boy!"
Not only had she practically shoved the thing into his face, but she had also said three fairly unexpected words.
"WHAT?"
There was a loud splash and a yelp.
Mitsuki peered over the edge of the bridge into the dark water as her boyfriend's head appeared, gasping, above water, though his hair was now soaked, as were his clothes.
"What did you say, Mitsuki?" he asked, breathing heavily and staring at her with wide eyes.
Mitsuki totally ignored him, off in her own little world as she put a finger to her chin. "You think Takuto Junior is too cliché?"
And that is the end of the first one. But have no fear. There is more to come, I promise.
