It was a day after the incident and Shōta and Hizashi were having a date night that they had been planning for a while now. They had left Akemi with Koji, their trusty babysitter and were gonna go out for a night on the town.

They both kissed the top of Akemi's head, as he snuggled closer to Koji as they started a movie. "If you need anything, you have our phone numbers. And Akemi's medication is on top of the fridge." Shōta mumbled on as Hizashi pulled him to the door. "You two have fun, don't be up too late!" Hizashi yelled as he pulled Shōta out of the house.

"So where to first?" Shōta asked as they stood outside their house. "It's a surprise. I have the whole night planned." Hizashi said tapping his phone a couple of times as a taxi pulled up in front of them. "Zashi, you know I don't like surprises," "Just go with it, it'll be fun!" Hizashi said kissing Shōta quickly, giving him no time to complain. "I guess a surprise would be nice." Shōta said lightly dazed as he got inside the taxi.

Shōta watched out the window as the car started driving. He absentmindedly played with Hizashi's sleeve as they watched the building move as they passed by. They sat silently, listening to the old car stereo as they took in the old pine scent of the taxi.

When the car stopped Shōta looked around questionably. "Why are we at the U.A.?" He asked as they got out of the car. "Well this is the place we met. So I thought it would be cute if we started our date here." Hizashi said as he payed the taxi driving with a small 'thanks Bo,'

As the taxi drove off, the couple walked up to the gate of the school. On the gate was a red rose with a little note on it, that had only a single letter on it 'E'. Shōta took it into his hand, looking at it confused. "Well come on," Hizashi said walking into the schoolyard, holding out his hand for Shōta to grab. Shōta quickly walked over to grab his lovers hand.

They both walked over to the doors of the school, feeling the chilly weather nip at their noses. When inside, Hizashi led Shōta through the dark hallways with the help of his phones flashlight. He led Shōta up a fight of stairs before stopping at a classroom, opening the door. When Shōta walked in he noticed on the back two desks there were two more roses. He wondered over picking them up seeing that they also had notes with 'M' and 'Y' on them.

"Remember when we first met? You were the shy, quiet kid that never spoke and I was literally screaming all the time," Hizashi laughed a bit as he sat on a desk. "And right there was where we met. Do you remember what you asked to determine if we could be friends?" Hizashi finished. "Do you like cats," Shōta said giggling at the memory. "Just think if I said 'no' we would probably not even be together." Hizashi said looking at the ceiling before looking at Shōta, holding out his hand.

Shōta grabbed the flowers before taking the hand happily as he walked with his lover back through the halls. They had exited the building but did not leave, instead Hizashi led them to behind the school, where they stopped at some dumpsters. Hizashi moved one slightly, only to reveal a small crawl space. "I can't believe it's still here!" Shōta gasped in disbelief. He crawled into the small space where he spent most of his teen years. It had old pillows and blankets scattered and a couple books. As he looked around he noticed three more roses lined up against the wall that had a little 'H+S' on it.

He picked up the flowers just like the others there were notes but with an 'R', 'R' and 'A' on them. "Remember when we carved that into the wall?" Hizashi asked with a sad smile on his face. "Yeah," Shōta said looking down at his hands. "I was having a panic attack and you found me." "That was also the same day I confessed to you." "And you said I would never be alone." Shōta smiled as a blush spread across his face.

"Well let's go, we still have places to go." Hizashi said backing out of the crawl space, holding out a hand for Shōta, which he took gladly. They walked back to the gate where another taxi was waiting. The couple got in happily as they went to their next destination.

When they arrived Shōta perked up a bit. Hizashi led Him to a small cat cafe where they entered happily. A waitress had brought them to a small table that had four roses that were like the others. After they ordered small coffees Shōta looked at the flowers that had notes just like the others but like the others there were a 'M', 'U', 'O' and 'Y' on them.

The waitress came back with two drinks but was not what they ordered. Before Shōta spoke up Hizashi cut him off. "Do you remember our first date," Hizashi said with a long look in his eyes. With that Shōta realized why he got the drink he did. "These were the same drinks we got on our first date!" He said shocked. "How in the world did you remember exactly what we got? It's almost been 13 years since that date." "I have my ways," Hizashi giggled as he took a sip of his smoothie.

They sipped on their drinks as cats rubbed up against their legs till they finished. Before walking out Shōta grabbed the flowers that were adding up quickly and followed Hizashi out.

They had walked through the town till they got to a small park. The park had a small pond and a giant garden that surrounded it. Hizashi had walked over to a small bench that over looked the whole area and sat down. Shōta followed, but before sitting down he noticed five more flowers. He picked them up before sitting down and looked up at the sky. It was like a painting, a full moon and stars decorated the sky as if snow.

When he looked back at the flowers, the five new ones had notes and letters as well and a 'L', 'L', 'I', 'W'and'❤️' written on them. Before he could ask Hizashi spoke. "Do you remember our first kiss? It was right here in this same park." Hizashi said looking at Shōta with a smile. "Here hand me those I have a surprise, so close your eyes and no peeking!" He said a smile on his face.

As Shōta shut his eyes he could hear Hizashi start to speak. "I wish I could've brought you to all the places, like our first party or where we started our family but I think that the date we had tonight was perfect, just like you," He paused as Shōta opened his eyes. "So Aizawa Shōta will you marry me?" Hizashi said. He was on one knee with a gold ring in his hand as all the flowers spelling out '❤️will you marry me'

Shōta immediately hugged Hizashi making them fall to the ground as they cried tears of happiness as Shōta said "Yes!"

Hizashi kissed him deeply as they laid on the ground surrounded by roses. Shōta eventually got off his now fiancé and let Hizashi put the gold band on his finger as they shared another kiss before walking home.
