~Reita
I woke up slowly, letting my exhausted eyes adjust to the light. I felt pressure...no...slight weight on my chest. I looked over to you, smiling when I saw you still asleep soundly. Your long lashes were resting on your rosy cheeks, your full lips slightly parted as your artificially curled hair reached the corner of your mouth. You had your arm around me, holding me as your steady breath hit my shoulder. I wiped your hair away from your face, revealing your stretched ear, the silver rings sparkling. I turned over to you, gently placing my lips on yours and tasting the distant taste of Jack Daniels. God, I loved kissing you.
The sudden movement of me turning over and, as gentle as it was, kissing you stirred you awake. Your morning voice sounded raspy and dry from alcohol as you said my name. I smiled again and replied to you with a stroke on your cheek and our usual "Goodmorning, dear." You smiled a bit, rubbing the sleep from your makeup stained eyes, your eyeliner and thin mascara leaving a black stain on your hand. I cuddled up to you, kissing your neck. You giggled and I could feel your arms around me. I covered us in the zebra printed blankets that you loved so much as I leaned over you, staring into your chocolate brown eyes. You smiled. I leaned down to capture your lips again, cupping your cheek. I could feel you smile into the kiss but still you managed to kiss me back. I stared at you again, and without words, countless "I love you"s were exchanged.
After cuddling for two more hours I could hear the water from the shower splashing. I smiled as I sat on the couch waiting for you. You. My Ruki. I held the small black box I had bought last week for you close to me, hoping you wouldn't see it yet. In my head many ways formed of how I could ask you. I heard a soft 'thumb' indicating the shower was turned off. I looked up and after a while you walked out, the towel wrapped around your body. You stopped and looked at me, curiously like a kitten. I smiled and gestured you to come over to me. You smiled and ran over to me sitting down next to me. I kissed you again, slipping my tongue past your lips. You gained me access and pulled me closer as my fingers tangled in your wet and messy hair. I pulled you on my lap still kissing you as I wrapped my arms around you. I savored your taste, your smell, your touch, your everything. I slid my hands up and down your thighs, feeling your warm skin under my cold hands. "Reichi...c-cold..." you mumbled. I took my hands off your legs, moving them to your back instead. "Get dressed, anata*." I whispered and you nodded. I stared at you before getting up to shower.
I held your hand as we walked to the supermarket. I let go of your hand to wrap my arms around your shoulders and holding you close. I kissed your neck, smiling when I heard you giggle. You sounded so innocent, like a kitten. I kissed your left cheek, poking the right. "You are beautiful." I said. "So are you." came your reply. I stopped walking, pulled you close and kissed you deeply as I held your hips. I felt your arms around my neck, your eyelashes tickling my face as your eyes closed. Our lips parted and I looked down at the BlackMoral necklace I had given you for your birthday. Your own design. You smiled again and together we ran to the shop, holding hands.
I watched you as you tried to put away something. You stretched, dangling on the edge of the counter, your feet swaying in the air. You gave up, jumped on your knees on the counter and put away the groceries. You were so adorably short. You looked back at the floor and I could see a hint of fear in your eyes. I grabbed your hips gently and lifted you off the counter, placing a kiss on your cheek. You smiled and held my hands as I hugged you. I looked at the groceries, quickly placing them in the fridge and kissing you deeply. You smiled into the kiss, your smile brighter than the sun now. I placed you on the small table next to the couch, gently slipping my fingers into your hair, deepening the kiss. Kit-Kat flavoured lip smacker flooded my tongue and you pulled me closer, wrapping your legs around my waist. "Reita..." you whispered, "I'm hungry." I smiled. "I'll make you lunch." I said as I rested my forehead against yours. You smiled as I grabbed a plate, bread and eggs. As I prepared your breakfast I was mentally making plans for the rest of our Sunday. I smiled when I figured the plan.
As we were eating I looked at you. "Let's go to the clothing store today. I need new boots." I said. I nodded and stretched. We finished lunch and I took your plate before putting them away. I took your hand, lifting you up from the chair like a prince. You turned the radio on and I smiled when a classical piece came on. I held my arm around your waist and held your hand as I danced with you around the room. You giggled as you clung to me, afraid of falling. The song ended and I sealed the dance with a kiss. "Let's go." you said afterwards.
I looked at you as you walked next to me, your designer Michael Kors bag around your arm. You kept hitting the letters on your phone as you kept texting. I stared at you smiling at seeing you so serious. The clothing store approached and now it was my turn to giggle as you pulled me inside. I ran after you and followed you inside. I grabbed a basket and looked at you as you were looking at a pair of Leopard printed boots. I walked up to you, hugged you from behind and placed a gentle kiss on your neck. You giggled and ran a hand through my blonde dyed hair.
We waited at the cash register and I noticed you daydreaming. I quickly asked the cashier something and she nodded. I climbed up on the register, pulling you with me. The cashier handed me a microphone. "Can I have everyone's attention?" I spoke into it. You blushed as everyone looked at us, and I held your hand as I smiled. "I'd like to introduce you all to my wonderful boyfriend. His name is Ruki. We've been together for three years now, so I want to ask him something." You smiled as you bit your lip, watching me kneel on one knee. I took the black box out, opening it to show you a golden ring. You gasped in surprise. I held the microphone up. "Will you marry me?" You gasped and almost screamed when you said your "yes!" Everyone cheered and clapped and I held your hand as I slipped the ring around your finger. I jumped onto the floor, helping you get off. You took the microphone from me. Your eyes sparkled as you spoke that special word:
"Yes"
*anata: dear
