YouRiko One-Shots

May I?

A/N: Wow this is the fifth chapter to be added. Nice. Gonna take a short break from these to finally finish Their Secret. It's been months and while I finished the chapter, it needs to be rewritten really badly lmao. I need to stop distracting myself with all these YouRiko's and get to my other stuff >.<

With a single flower in her hand, You stood in front of Riko's door but for once, the rose wasn't for her love. She had been with Riko for nearly five years now after the ending of high school, of course that didn't mean she didn't still bring her roses but that wasn't the point. They had gotten together in their first year of college, right after Riko had needed a date for a wedding. With a little bit of convincing, You skipped class that day to accompany Riko. When push came to shove though, each of their feelings came spilling out that night. Of course, that wouldn't have happened if Riko didn't steal a bottle of champagne for the two of them to drink back at their dorms. It was a fond memory You liked to look back upon. It was best feeling getting out her heart's true feelings but nothing could top receiving that admiration right back. Before You could take a trip down memory lane though, the young sailor had other plans before her.

Riko was out of town for the week, as she was in America composing pieces for a new artist on the rise that specifically called for her. It was You's perfect time to do exactly what she needed.

Ringing the doorbell, You quickly checked to make sure she looked presentable. She chose a simple blue dress with sandals. Being in her captain uniform seemed too professional and being in sweatpants was out of the question. Patting her wavy hair down quickly, You heard footsteps approaching.

Answering the door, a tall man appeared before her with dark crimson hair, matching the family trademark.

"Can I help you?"

You presented her flower to the man before bowing her head in the process,

"Mr. Sakurauchi, I have to ask you something!"

Riko's father looked down at You curiously but before he could say anything, You continued on,

"I, Watanabe You, would like to ask for your permission to take your daughter, Sakurauchi Riko's, hand in marriage. It would be a great honor to spend the rest of my life with her by my side. It would be an even higher honor for her to become a Watanabe with me. So, please, what do you say?"

You, who felt as if her heart was going to come up from her throat. She took no breath between her words as she sputtered them all out. Thinking on it now, it came out smoother in her practices.

As You counted down the seconds, she could feel herself shaking as the man still hadn't answered her question. Peeking up to see his reaction, she was met with a confused look.

"I'm sorry, who are you?"

'Ouch'

You couldn't help but feel a little hurt. It wasn't as if You hadn't gone to multiple of Riko's family gatherings or given their family a multitude of gifts from the places she had traveled as a ferry captain.

You brought the rose to her side as she slouched her shoulders in defeat.

"I'm Watanabe You. You know, the girl who's dating your daughter. Your only daughter."

The man suddenly realized who he was talking to. With a smile upon his face, she snapped his fingers,

"Oh, the little captain Riko's dating. I remember you."

You sighed in relief. At least it wouldn't be totally awkward trying to reintroduce herself like the first time she met him.

"So, what do you say? May I marry her?"
