Angel of HEAVENS (Uta no Prince Sama)

Chapter Fifty-three

Two people lie on the bed. One of them gazed at the sleeping one. Long fingers made its way through the silky blonde hair.

Eiichi propped himself on his stomach, chin in his palm and looks at Catarina's sleeping face. She looked so cute. He continued running his fingers through her hair.

"...Eiichi......" The brunette male grinned when Catarina mumbled his name in her sleep with a smile. It made him incredibly happy that he was in the dreams of his woman.

He moved closer to her and pressed his lips against her forehead. It caused her to stir. He looked at her face as she slowly opened her eyes. The first thing she saw was the handsome face of her boyfriend.

.....Aren't I blessed? Eiichi was just beside her, lavender eyes holding bits of sleepiness, hair handsomely tousled, the first two buttons of shirt open while he smiled down at her. Is there any better way to be woken up? No, of course not.

"Good morning, Catarina."

"Good morning." Lazily, she nuzzled her face into his chest. The female breathed in the remnants of his cologne that he used the previous night. ". . .Time?"

"Ten past seven."

"Hm....You were in my dream."

"Really?" He had already guessed that he was there. Why else would she mumble his name in her sleep?

"Mhmm....We lived in a house of chocolate. There was no end to sweets and we lived happily." It caused him to snicker.

"That's too cute." He looked down at the bundle of blonde hair. "We have the whole day off. Are you intending to go back to sleep?"

"No." She moved her face away from his chest. "I'm sleepy but not that much." She felt a yawn coming and closed her eyes. She brought her left hand to cover her mouth.

.......And that was when she realized there was something cold on her ring finger.

Her eyes snapped open and looked at her hand. Her ring finger was sparkling. She sat up quickly.

?!?!

A ring she had never certainly seen before sat snuggly on her ring finger, glittering as it caught the sunlight.

"But why is it on me?" She said her thoughts aloud.

At that time, Eiichi sat up beside her."You don't understand?" He spoke with his signature smirk. "Then, let me make it clear to you."

Huh? Eiichi took her left hand in his hand and looked into her eyes. This gesture made her heart race a million times faster.

"Marry me."

"Eii..!" Catarina gasped. It was not a request or a proposal. It was an order, a command. There was no room left for denial in that gentle and confident command.

"I-I..." The female was still in a shock. Pink blush adorned her cheeks as she looked at him before looking at the ring. "Wh-when did you....?"

"While you were sleeping." The male's smirk widened. "I said it during yesterday's concert, didn't I? My aggressive love won't wait for your answer. It's a love you can't deny." He refered to his words during 'Egoistic'.

"Y-you...." Her eyes turned glossy.

"But I still want to confirm it with you." His smirk turned to a smile and his eyes held her captive in an earnest and loving stare. "I want to spend my life with you. I want to marry you. It has to be you. So, say that you'll be mine forever."

"Eiichi..!" Despite the single tear that slipped from her eyes, she smiled in a dazzling way that would put the stars to shame. "I want to be with you too! I want to become yours too! I.." Her breath hitched in her throat. She didn't need to complete her sentence. All her feelings and emotions were being conveyed through her smile.
