A Gentleman and his Lady

Chapter Ten - Aftermath

I walk hand in hand with the man of my dreams back to my dorm after a night filled with dancing, romance and Kokichi's drunk singing.

"Gonta hasn't had so much fun since last bug expedition! Or, when Gonta last saw you.."

I squeeze his hand, "You're incredible Gonta. Never forget that".

He wraps his arm around me carefully. "Gonta not only want to be gentleman for family, but for Emiko as well".

We reach my door, when Gonta gets down on one knee. "It has been an honour for Gonta to escort you to ball" He kisses my hand gently.

"Oh! Actually I was wondering, if you don't mind, would you like to come inside? I...don't really want you to go yet" I giggle.

He thinks for a moment, before getting on his feet. "Gonta would like to keep you company, but is that okay?"

"Of course!" I exclaim.

I open the door to my familiar surroundings and motion for him to sit on my bed. He cautiously places himself down next to me. "Gonta doesn't want to break anything".

"It's okay! Don't worry, my dear" I assure.

He smiles, and relaxes a little more. He stares at me with such adoration.

"Gonta wants to keep dancing with you, even if there is no ball"

I pull him into a hug. "I'd love that. I just hope you don't mind me doing this more often..."

I lean in for another kiss, while he holds my cheek. We sink in deeper and deeper, much longer than our first kiss. It got almost heated before he pulled away. 

"Sorry! Gonta doesn't really know what else to do. If Gonta did more, he may be ungentlemanly" he fussed.

"Gonta, it's alright. That's what happens when you're with your girlfriend". 

Girlfriend.. it feels nice to say that..

"Then, can Gonta ask you to be his girlfriend? Gonta will be true gentleman to the one he loves, forever!" He looks at me with those sparkly, seraphic eyes. I couldn't help myself

"Yes! Yes of course!"

I leaped back into his arms out of instinct. This time he didn't pull back, but let himself fall back on the bed with me hovering over him.

"Well this is the start of something if I've ever seen it" I laugh nervously. Poor thing was stiff under me. He doesn't quite know what to do.

"Gonta has never really... been like this before".

"Lucky we're in the same boat then" I giggle.

Gonta looks around him. "But we're on bed, not boat". Oh my god he's adorable.

"I mean, I know how you feel" I smile and place my head on his chest.

"Gonta want to love you forever" He sighs, running his fingers through my hair.

I close my eyes, taking in the moment. "I would want nothing more. I love you too, Gonta".

Time skip brought you by SPAAAAAAACE.

I take in the bright light that shines through my window and rub my eyes. Morning already, huh? I look down to see myself still in my dress. I really don't want to see what my makeup looks like now if I've rubbed my eyes..

Gonta was nowhere to be found. I must've been pretty tired to not notice him leave.

I sit up to inspect my surroundings, when I see a bouquet of pink peonies in the corner of my door. A smile creeps on my face as I practically leap out of bed. I pick up the bouquet and the letter attached to it.

Thank you so much for last night! Gonta will cherish it forever.

- Gonta.

I walk to my window to see the overhead of the gardens, where he was already there inspecting the bugs that roamed the place. I held the flowers close to my chest and sighed. 

This was the start of our little fairytale. The gentleman, finally got his lady.

Not to worry! This will not be the end, as I have many ideas coming to mind. (Might try out a lemon? Idk. This will just contain fluffy stuff) - Author.
