Ice Cubes

It was afternoon. Ryuuka and I were having some argument about him leaving me before. He told me he felt so guilty and he wants to do anything that I want. I already told him that I forgave him and we should just forget about it but he keeps on insisting.

I was sitting in the motor sofa, cross-legs and looking down at him.

He was kneeling in front of me while holding my hand, ‘Anna koto shite gomen, demo anatano kotowo omotte’, he uttered.

‘I told you… let’s just forget about it’, I sighed.

He shrugged his head, ‘I couldn’t. Everytime I think about it, I feel terrible for leaving you’.

I sighed and touched his face, ‘I love you… and you love me, that’s all that matters’.

He was just staring at me.

‘Just don’t… don’t leave me ever again…’

He nodded, ‘Kimi wo hitorini shinai te yakusoku sita kara. Watashi wa anata wo shinu made ai shimasu’, and kissed the palm of my hand.

I smiled, ‘Watashi mo wa anata wo shinu made ai shimasu’.

At night, Ryuuka stayed in our house. I’ve been away from my house for 3 nights now and my mother was already complaining so that’s why I asked if Ryuuka can spend the night with me in my house and he agreed.

When I finished taking a bath, he took his turn while I opened the TV.

After some time, Ryuuka went out and sat beside me. I wasn’t really paying attention to the show. I was thinking about something else.

I dunno what’s really going on around me until suddenly, Ryuuka managed to turn off the TV without me really noticing it and his hand on my head facing me to him.

‘You okay Prince?’, he asked me.

His hair was still a bit wet, it was still dripping. There’s a face towel wrap around his neck and he was wearing a white loose shirt. My fantasy is starting to drive me crazy.

‘Hey?’, he waved his hand in front of my face.

‘Oh sorry, it’s nothing…’, I uttered in a low voice.

‘Are you sure?’

‘Gomenasai… hontonii nanimo’, I couldn’t tell him.

He stared at me.

I reached for his chin.

He blushed, ‘My Life?’

There’s no way I could tell him. I told myself, I want… him… all to myself. Just me… Soon I couldn’t control myself anymore and I pushed him to lay under me.

‘Prince? What the heck is going on?’

I want to… I slowly pressed my body against him. Make a mess out of him… And leave my mark all over him, just mine…

I started to touch him… pleasure all parts of his body. I traced the lines in his chest down to his crotch.

He was resisting and pushing me away, ‘Yamero…’, he uttered but I ignored him.

I moved my face close to him and gave him a long passionate kiss while my right hand slid its way inside his pants. I felt that his starting to be hard down there and stopped resisting me. I looked at his face and he was blushing.

‘Prince…’, his voice was low but it had a certain ring to it. I removed all his clothes leaving him all naked in front of me. I lifted him and lay him down to my study table and started to dirty every inch of his body.

I begun by locking his both hands up to his head, my lips pressed on every part of his face down to his neck then to his chest. As I played by licking, sucking and biting his nipples, my right hand set off to his dick and gave him a hand job.

I saw him bit his lips. And he was trembling too, ‘Lay me in bed…’, he uttered.

I looked up, ‘Huh?’

‘Bed…’, the only breathless word I heard aside from his moans.

As I lay him down in my bed, Ryuuka spread his legs in front of me. It’s as if he’s welcoming me to his kingdom. I readily responded his gesture by leaning my head close to the tip of his dick and kissed it.

Soon, I gave him a blow job and he cum a lot.

I was pleased with his response. And so I lay next to him and asked him to lay above me in which he quickly followed.

I was kissing his nape as I wrapped my right arm around his chest and my left hand masturbating his dick. I know that he already cum but I want him to cum and cum and cum as many as he can that night.

I couldn’t hear anything but his breathless moans which was very lovely to me.

I love playing with his nipples because they’re so sensitive. As I was still masturbating his dick, I let my other hand played with his nipples.

I nibbled his ear and whispered, ‘I love you…’

I didn’t hear him say anything but his body respond was enough answer.

I rolled him down. I was facing his back and his perfectly-shaped butt. I gave him a rim job by letting my tongue run smoothly from his nape down to his butt.

And when I was in his butt, I thrust him using my tongue.

I saw him grab a pillow and bite it. I don’t know why though but maybe to restrain himself from moaning to loud or perhaps even restrain himself from screaming in pleasure.

I continued rimming his butt. As my eyes pass around the corner of my bed, I saw a glass with some ice cubes on it. I stopped rimming him and grab the glass.

He looked at me.

I smiled at him. I put all the ice cubes on my left hand and started inserting the ice cubes one-by-one in his butt hole. Yes, I put inside him the ice cubes.

He trembled, ‘It’s… it’s cold…’, he uttered.

‘I know’, I answered and continued putting the ice cubes inside him.

While watching the ice cubes dripped outside him, I begun petting my own dick. I smiled at the fact that my hard on was at its wildest.

As I gently thrust my wild dick inside him, I held his waist for support. I slowly pushed mine deeper into his kingdom.

Suppress from his screams, finally Ryuuka let it all out and moaned and screamed in breathless. I’ve never seen him in such acts before.

His loud moans and screams turned me on more. I stopped thrusting him gently and fuck him fast and wildly. As I pumped him without kindness, he never stopped calling out for my name.

Soon he cum but I didn’t stopped.

I reached for his head and pulled his hair as I continue to thrust my hard dick inside his tight ass to add more of the excitement.

I kept on fucking him even after he cum twice. He cum and he cum but I still didn’t stop.

Ryuuka never complained. He let me do everything that I want to do with him; messed and dirtied his body, all at the same time.

As we finished making love, I pulled my dick out of him and pressed my body to his shaking body, ‘Without you... I really couldn’t go even a second’, I whispered and kissed him passionately sweet.

The Mask

After spending some crazy day with VII and Shin, it’s now time to spend it with my mom. Since my father couldn’t go back home, we were the ones to represent him in the hospital ball. Yeah, I know, it’s kinda unusual but trust me, it was a hospital ball.

When we arrived at the event, Shin and VII waved at us.

‘Hey Prince!’, Shin tapped my shoulder grinning.

‘What?’, I frowned.

‘Oh come on!’, he chuckled, ‘Don’t tell me your still upset about my pregnancy?’

I heard VII chuckled, and so as my mom.

I glared at them, ‘HA-HA-HA-! Very funny…’, I sighed.

‘You know son, even though Ryuuka is not here. You still have to enjoy yourself you know’, she held on my arms as we entered.

‘I am but…’, I looked at Shin, ‘I just don’t want pranks’.

Shin showed me a peace sign.

They’re so many people in the event. I can barely see the people I know. We had a certain seat. VIP as you can say. The waiters gave everything that we need.

‘Prince, don’t eat too much’, my mom told me.

‘Hmm?’, I munched, ‘Why?’

‘You might get fat’, she chuckled, ‘And Ryuuka might exchange you for someone else’, she laughed.

‘Geez… he’ll never do such a thing’, I stuck my tongue out, ‘Anyway, Mom?’

‘Yes?’

‘Seriously, when will dad be home?’, I asked.

‘Hmm…’, she paused, ‘I dunno’.

I sighed.

‘Do you really miss Ryuuka that badly?’

I nodded.

‘Aww… kawaii desu!’, she giggled.

Soon the dance floor was opened. Of course, out of courtesy, I danced my mom. Shin and VII followed. We all danced with my mom. Then I danced with some women too that I know. Some were classmates, some were family friends.

By the way, it’s a masquerade ball so everyone was wearing colourful masks. Then finally, it was down to the last song, I tend to just sit until this ball is done but as I was going to our seat, the spotlight stopped at where I was standing.

I stopped and turned my back. There’s was a guy, wearing all black except his silver mask. My heart throbbed fast and I felt a cold air on my nape.

As soon as Michael Buble’s “Save The Last Dance” started to play, the guy walked benevolently towards me and stopped at about a few feet away. He reached for my hand. I got nervous a little and looked at the crowd staring at us.

The guy suddenly spoke, ‘My Prince...’

I readily stared at him again and gave my hand. Soon, we’re already dancing.

I slowly removed the mask on his face and it was My Life… my Ryuuka.

He smiled at me sweetly.

And I did too.

We didn’t get the chance to talk that much while we were dancing but an exchange of gaze was obviously heart bending.

How many times this guy plans to stop my heart? I sighed as I asked myself that question over and over again.

‘Something wrong?’, he noticed my sigh.

I shrugged my head and smiled.

After dancing, he readily took me away and we left the event. I didn’t get the chance to say goodbye to anyone. Everything seems to be not important to me anymore.

As he was driving, I looked at him and stared.

He looked at me too, ‘I missed you Prince…’

‘Anata ga inakute… samishii kimochi ni narimashita’.

He nodded, ‘Watashi mo’.

Soon we arrived at his house. I’ve never been in his house since I went back to Japan from Australia.

He opened the car door for me and lean closer to my face, ‘Daisuki dayou Prince-sama…’, he whispered into my ear.

‘Watashi mo Ryuuka-sama’, I held his chin and kissed him sweetly.

He pulled me out of his car and we were kissing while getting inside his house.

‘Papa!’, I heard Cha-cha’s voice.

I stopped kissing him, ‘Ryuuka… it’s… it’s… Cha-cha…’, I tried to tell him as he continue to nibble my lips.

‘Don’t mind her’, he told me as he slid his hand inside my pants.

‘But…’, I moaned a bit.

He bit my left ear, ‘I love you…’

And before I can respond with the same words and a too, Cha-cha came rushing and hugged his daddy.

Ryuuka managed to pull back his hand out of my pants, ‘Hello there my dear Cha-cha’, he greeted her as he lift her and put her in his arms, ‘How’s my princess?’

‘Papa! Papa! I miss you!’, Cha-cha exclaimed and kissed his daddy.

Ryuuka nodded, ‘I know… I missed you too’.

Cha-cha looked at me too, ‘I miss my mama too!’, she giggled.

I smiled and pinched her cheek, ‘Aww… thank you Cha-cha’.

She smiled.

As we went in, Ryuuka put her down, ‘Okay Cha-cha, papa needs to talk to mama so you stay here. Okay? Don’t disturb us’, he told her as he held my hand.

‘Hmm…’, she mumbled, ‘Why? Can’t I join?’

Ryuuka chuckled, ‘It’s only for mama and papa. Baby should stay here and play with Aunt Kym’, he looked at Kym and winked.

‘That’s right Cha-cha’, Kym added, ‘Let’s stay here and play doll house. Let papa and mama go’, and giggled, ‘For sure they missed each other so much…’

Ryuuka nodded as he pulled me upstairs.

I smiled at Kym and she waved back to me.

As soon as we enter his room, he pushed me towards the wall and cornered me, ‘Where were we?’

I chuckled, ‘Inside my pants?’

He nodded, ‘Right…’, he slid his hand in my pants again and caressed my dick.

I trembled a little, ‘Ryuuka…’, I reached for his nape and started to peck him with sweet kisses.

After caressing my dick, he lifted me and put me to bed. He removed his upper clothing. Before crawling over me, he unzipped my pants and pulled it exposing me naked underneath.

He grinned, ‘Eros…’

I chuckled.

He chuckled too, ‘I love you’, he whispered into my right ear and started to lick my ear down to my neck, then to my shoulders, back to my neck again then down to my chest. He stopped moving downwards and played with my nipples by licking and sucking it.

I felt ticklish.

He smiled. Then he continued again, his tongue moved downwards until he reached my navel. I thought he’s gonna give me a blowjob then but he didn’t. Instead he kissed the tip of my dick to tease me and continued his licking into my thighs.

I felt that my cock became harder and harder as he continued licking me.

He noticed it and grimaced.

‘I hate you…’, I mumbled as I curled a bit with the pleasurable feeling he’s giving me.

Then he moved up and leaned close to my face and we did a long passionate French kiss.

While we were French kissing, his left hand reached for my dick and started to masturbate it while his right hand was playing with my nipples. He was multi-tasking.

My hands were wrapped around his nape. I couldn’t really do anything but to French kiss him because I was drooling over him. My legs are trembling, and I was trying to catch up proper breathing.

When I was to cum, he stopped masturbating my pet. I looked at him, ‘Why?’

‘I want you to cum later… with me’, he winked.

‘I can cum again…’, I bit my lower lip.

He smiled and nodded. He moved downwards. He licked, sucked and kissed my dick. In short, he gave me an out of hell blow job while his hands were playing with my balls too.

I moaned and moaned as he continued doing anything that can pleasure me.

Soon I cum all over him, ‘Geez… I’m sorry’, I tried to get a tissue to clean his mouth but he halted me.

‘Nah…’, he licked the milk , ‘This is okay… I missed this’, and continued licking his mouth.

I sighed, ‘Silly cat…’

‘Meow, meow’, he cat faced.

‘Aww…’, I giggled, ‘Kawaii!’, I exclaimed.

He removed all that he was wearing and exposed his beautiful naked body to me.

I removed the only clothing left to me too.

He smiled to me sweetly, ‘Turn your back my life…’, he told me in a seducing voice.

I readily nodded and turned my back.

‘Do you need some lubrication?’, he asked me.

I chuckled, ‘Nah… I think I’m too wet now’.

I heard him chuckled. This time I cannot see his face but I am sure he’s gonna fuck me. I felt a gentle caressing in my butt. I thought he’s making me feel comfortable with his cock (which I am comfortable already), but I was wrong. He thrust me using his 2 fingers, ‘Ugh… nh—‘

‘Do you like this?’, he asked.

I couldn’t really answer because I was moaning.

Then I felt three fingers entering me non-stop.

‘Ugh… ugh… aaah-, nh—‘, I am panting and moaning all at the same time.

‘Relax my life…’, he whispered into my ear, ‘I’m just fingering you…’

How can I relax if he was thrusting me non-stop? I can’t complain that time because I couldn’t move any of my muscle. It was too consumed by the pleasure… I was too consumed by him.

Soon after, I felt that he leaned closer to me while still fingering me.

‘I want to… cum inside you’, he whispered and bit my earlobes.

I nodded, ‘F… fu… fuck… fuck me…’, I managed to tell him.

‘My pleasure’, he responded. His fingers stopped thrusting me.

I looked back a little and he was petting his dick and it was rock hard. I gulped.

He slowly and gently thrust his dick inside me and hell! It was so hard that I moaned so loud, ‘You’re too tight my life… I miscalculated, I thought I can slide inside you now’, he mumbled and tried to pull his hard dick but I stopped him.

‘No… no, it’s okay’, I breathed, ‘Fuck me… fuck me…’

‘Are you sure?’, he asked, ‘I don’t want to hurt you…’, he assured me.

‘No pain no gain’, I joked.

He chuckled, ‘All right…’, and continued thrusting his dick inside me.

‘Ugh… ugh… aaah! Aaah! Nh—‘, the only syllables I can say that time. I couldn’t do anything but to moan and moan and moan.

He reached for my head and placed his two fingers in my mouth. His right arms wrapped around my body and pulled me. We were both kneeling down in the bed. He was still thrusting me crazily while my body was over his sweating body.

I couldn’t moan loud anymore because his fingers were there to block. His right hand moved downward and started to masturbate my dick again. I don’t know anymore what to say here or how to explain the pleasurable feeling he gave me. All I know is even though I waited for him for almost 2 months, everything seemed not to matter anymore in just one heck of a fucking night with him.

‘I’m cumming…’, he told me as he removed his fingers in my mouth.

‘Watashi mo Ryuuka-sama!’, I exclaimed.

He nodded, ‘Choto matte…’, he slowly pulled his dick. Then he made me sit on his swelling dick and continued to pump me up and down.

I held on to him because my body couldn’t support myself anymore.

He held on to me tight and continued fucking me until we both cum all over.

We were both breathless and both lying in the bed.

‘This would be the last…’, he whispered breathless.

‘What?’, I asked breathless.

‘I said… this would be the last’.

I stared at him.

He caressed my cheek, ‘Don’t worry… not really the sex but perhaps this would be the last time I’ll cum inside you’, and smiled.

I got confused.

‘Because… I want you to cum inside me instead’.

‘I see’, I tried to move and hugged him, ‘I love you…’, I told him in a breathless voice.

‘I love you too…’, he kissed my forehead.

Sleep Now

February 19^th, 9:30 in the morning. I didn’t get enough of sleep because I was excited for this day, my birthday! I readily prepared myself and went directly downstairs to know what they have for me.

“Where the hell are they?” I wondered while searching for them on the first floor. I went upstairs and search inside their rooms but they’re not there. Holy shit, even the maids, the butler and the guards were nowhere to be found. I am left alone in the mansion!

“No, no…this can’t be…” my eyes twitched as I was thinking of ways on how to find them. “Ah, yeah…my phone.” I went back inside my room and contacted each one of them even Laurence but oh god, they’re out of reach! I even called my sweetheart 10 times in a row but he’s still out of reach! What the hell’s going on?

“Relax, Shin…” I tried to calm myself, “relax…” I kept on repeating that word. “Ah! But I can’t!” I blurted out and munched on the apple on the kitchen counter. “Geez, I’m going nuts now!” I closed my eyes and thought again, “Perhaps they’re outside of the mansion?” and I shrugged my shoulders, “well, there’s no harm in trying.”

I took an apple on my other hand and went outside of the mansion. I was with Ace, my dog, who was following me while we searched in the hood until he started barking. I saw a bald guy who was trying to seize him.

“Hey! Fuck off!” I warned him. As I was going to push him away from Ace, someone covered my nose and mouth with a hanky until I fell asleep.

The next thing I knew was…I was already in my room, lying on my bed while Laurence was fondling my hair.

“Sweetheart…?” I mumbled.

He was staring at me, smiling, “Good morning, sweetheart. Happy birthday!” and he kissed me passionately. I returned the favor. He crawled over me and removed my shirt. H e was kissing me on my ear, down to my lips and to my neck then to my navel and he removed my pants. Well, I was already hard that time and he licked my dick.

“Laurence?”

He looked at me as he licked his lips, “Any problem?”

“Ah…” I sat upright. “What happened?”

His forehead wrinkled, “I’m sorry?”

“I mean, when I woke up this morning…there was no one inside this mansion except me…” I glanced at him, “I went outside to search for them with Ace but we didn’t until a bald guy wanted to take him away from me…and, and…another guy covered my face and mouth with a hanky until I fell asleep…the next thing I knew was, you’re already here with me….”

He was staring at me, “I saw you and I was the one who brought you here. Ace was beside you when I came.”

I wondered, “Really?”

Laurence nodded and patted my head, “Are you okay?”

“I am,” I smiled a bit, still wondering. “How come you weren’t answering my calls? Oh, and are they already here?”

“I was in a deep sleep that time,” he rested my head on his chest, “I’m sorry if I haven’t picked it up.” He kissed my forehead, “and about them, have you already forgotten that today’s a day off for the maids?”

“Eh? Did aunt say that?”

He nodded, “Last night, while having dinner. Weren’t you listening?”

I tried to remember but I can’t, “Did she really say that?”

He smirked, “Of course, of course…sweetheart,” and he caressed my cheek. “Are you really okay?”

“I smell something fishy here,” I thought. “How about aunt and Prince?”

He shrugged his shoulders, “All I know is we’re all alone here.”

I looked at him, “Are you implying on something?”

“Why do you sound so innocent here?” he looked at me too.

I laughed, “I am not—“

“Are you trying to be modest today because it’s your birthday?” the tone of his voice changed. “Is that it, huh? Shin?”

“You’re really implying on something, aren’t you?” I pecked on his cheek.

He looked on the other side, “Did I ever say that?”

I held his chin and faced him to me, “You didn’t.”

He wasn’t still looking at me.

“What do you want?” I stared at him.

No response.

I sat on his lap, “Hm?” I smiled and licked on his lips, “Sweetheart?”

He wasn’t still responding.

I fervently kissed him on his lips as I was taking his shirt off. I licked his tummy up to his chest. I heard him chuckled softly. He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me upward. He was smiling at me, “I love you so much, Shin…”

“I love you too…” I smiled at him too.

“Happy birthday,” he whispered.

“Thank you…” and I hugged him tightly. Then, he suddenly exchanged places with me. “I’ll make your day…”

“Right now?”

He nodded and smiled as he was already removing his clothes.

“I guess it’s too early…” I bit my lip.

“You think so?” he started kissing me, his hand was caressing my chest, “but time is so precious, sweetheart…” then his hands went downwards.

I moaned, “But we still have tonight…”

“I don’t think so…” and he moved downwards, he licked the tip of my dick and sucked it.

“Why…?” I was catching for my breath.

He looked at me and he wiped his mouth, “I just know…” he smirked. “Stop asking so many questions and just make love with me, sweetheart.”

I chuckled.

“What?” he was smiling at me.

“Why are you smiling like that? It’s so sweet and…you look so wonderful…”

He didn’t respond and instead he crouched a little. He placed my legs on top of his shoulder and slowly inserted his dick inside of me. I was moaning, “Faster…”

He moved his dick out and reached for my head, he kissed me and pushed my head onto his. I sucked it until he ejaculated. He crawled over me again, I mean on my back and thrusted it again inside of me. His right hand held onto my dick while the other one’s on my waist.

“I..I love you, Shin…” he was catching for his breath too.

“I….love you too…Laurence…”

After our love making, we both fell asleep…Laurence was on top of me. I was the one who first woke up. I fondled his hair and kissed it. Then my tummy grumbled, “Ooppss...” I silently chuckled. I took his left hand and kissed it. I smiled as I saw our engagement ring. I rubbed on it and as I was going to look at my engagement ring…

“Shit!” I exclaimed. “My engagement ring? Where the fuck is my engagement ring?” I was already panicking. “Did I leave it somewhere? But I was still wearing it this morning…did they took it away from me? Did they…? Oh goddamn it!”

“Sweetheart?” Laurence was already awake, he was rubbing his eyes.

“Oh, hi there…how was your sleep?”

“Good,” he yawned, “didn’t you sleep?”

“I did…”

He reached for my head and kissed me sweetly, “Let’s take a bath now...”

I simply nodded. We both got up and went directly inside the bathroom. We were both inside the bath tub and he was the one who’s bathing me.

“Is something bothering you?” he whispered,

I didn’t respond.

“Was it because of the guys who tried to harm you?”

I sighed, “Kinda,” at the same time I lied.

“Still about that issue, huh?” he pinched my cheek, “don’t worry, I already asked the other Numbers to handle them.”

I looked at him and kissed him.

“Smile for me, Shin. I want to see you smiling,” he flashed a smile. “It’s your birthday today and I want you to be happy.”

If you just know what’s my problem, Laurence. If you just know that I lost our engagement ring.

“Shin?”

I smiled and hugged him so tightly. Then my tummy grumbled again. We both chuckled. We finished taking our bath already and while Laurence was preparing the ingredients for our breakfast or rather brunch, I kept on looking for the ring.

“Aaarrgh!!!” I shrieked. “Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!” It was really upsetting. I can’t still find it.

“Sweetheart! Everything’s ok now!” Laurence was calling out for me.

“Coming!” I sighed and went out the room. He seized my hand and we walked downstairs. I already prepared our brunch, oh he helped me too.

“Wow, you’re improving,” I smiled while beating some eggs.

“Am I?” he was slicing some bell peppers.

“Yeah. I remembered when we were in Denmark…you’re still an amateur when it comes to slicing things,” I chuckled.

“I’m good at targeting assholes, not slicing stuff like this.”

“I know,” I sauté the garlic and onions in the pan.

“Thanks to you.”

“Thanks for what?” I looked at him.

“If you didn’t teach me how then I wouldn’t know such tasks.”

I chuckled, “You’re a prince therefore you’re an exception.”

“Ex-prince,” he glared at me.

“But still you were,” I smiled, “and as a lover, I’ll serve for you.”

“Things have changed now,” he stopped slicing and pulled me closer to him, “I’m the one who’s going to serve for you now.”

“Okay?”

“My Queen,” he smiled and kissed my hand.

“Geez,” I got chills, “I’m still not used to that ‘girl’ term.”

“Sweetheart?”

“Better,” I grinned and continued sautéing. I poured on the batter and Laurence handed me the bell peppers.

“What else do you want me to do?” he hugged me from behind.

“Oh, I can already do this alone,” I smiled and cuddled his hand. “You can already sit back and relax.”

“Ugh,” he rested his chin over my shoulder, “I still wanted to help you…”

“Really?” I looked at him.

He nodded, “For our future.”

“Four our future?” I felt my cheek burning.

“You know…when we’re already married, we’ll be living in our own house. And in our house, only the two of us would be living.”

I blinked and blinked.

“I wanted to be the best husband in the whole wide world, Shin,” and he kissed me on my cheek.

I still blinked and blinked.

Laurence chuckled, “Oh my…I’m sorry, I left you speechless again.”

“As always,” I chuckled too.

“But I’m really stating the fact, Shin…”

I looked at him and caressed his cheek, “I love you, Laurence…” and kissed him sweetly on his lips.

“I know now, I’ll just set the table for us,” he smiled and left for awhile.

After cooking and setting the table, we already ate. Laurence spoon fed me while he was telling some ‘future’ stuff about us and obviously, I was speechless again. Tsk. *laughs Oh well, I looked like a kid that time. Just listening to the things he was saying and blushing every time.

Later in the afternoon, we just watched movies, played with Ace, played the XBOX 360 and a lot more. Aunt, Prince and Ashley were still not in the house. I wonder why. Anyway, around 7 in the evening…Laurence told me to prepare myself. I asked him where we are going but he didn’t answer me. So I just did what he told me too.

While on our way…

“Where are we going, sweetheart?” I asked.

He just looked at me and smiled.

“Pff,” I pouted my lips.

He held my hand and kissed it, “Sweetheart?”

“Ugh, yes?”

“Your ring,” he glanced at me, “where’s your ring?”

I bit my lip, “I…I…”

“I?”

“I…” I sighed.

“Don’t tell me you lost it?”

“No! I—“

“I know you when you are lying,” he said.

“I just misplaced it…” I mumbled.

“Misplaced?” he smirked. “Are you sure?”

I shrugged my shoulders, “I’m sorry. Don’t worry, I’ll look for it after the party.”

“It’s useless.”

I sighed, those words struck my heart.

“I’m sorry.”

He didn’t respond. We already arrived in a garden like venue.

“Wait for me here,” he said as he left me.

I simply nodded. After 10 minutes…

Laurence opened the car door for me, “Let’s go,” he said smiling.

“Weird,” I thought. He was mad at me a few moments ago and now he’s already smiling.

He held my hand too. “I told you to smile, remember?”

“But…the ring,” I whispered and I was looking down.

He held my chin and kissed me sweetly, “I love you.”

“I love you too…”

He smiled and as we enter the real venue…

“Happy 20^th birthday, Shin!” the crowd cheered.

My eyes widened. I saw my relatives from Denmark and United States. Mom and dad were also there.

“What the hell…?”

“Happy birthday, son,” mom hugged me.

Then dad and Ashley and the others too.

“Where have you been, Ashley?” I raised an eye brow.

She stuck her tongue out and kissed me on my cheek, “Happy birthday, brother! I am so happy for you!”

“Thank you?”

She patted my shoulder and entertained the other guests. I saw Mischa she was wiggling while looking and smiling at me.

“Hey little girl,” I smiled and carried her, “you grew taller now huh. How are you?” and I kissed her cheek.

“I’m okay…” she giggled, “who’s he?”

“Who?” I fixed her bangs.

“The one who was holding your hand awhile ago…” and she pointed on Laurence who was talking with his future parents. “I can’t remember his name.”

“Oh!” I chuckled, “Have you already forgotten his name that easily?”

She nodded.

“He’s VII, you remember now?”

She shook her head.

“Oh, come on…we just visited you last year,” I pinched her nose.

“That was last year, a long long time ago…”

I smirked and drew closer to Laurence, “Sweetheart, she can’t remember your name.”

“I thought VII was his name, how come you call him sweetheart?” she fished face.

We both chuckled.

“Geez, how could we explain things to her?” he rubbed his finger in my cheek.

I shrugged my shoulders.

“Do you have any trouble with this kid?” a sudden interruption from Marco. “Let’s leave the love birds now, Mischa.”

“I still want to talk to him,” she hugged me tighter.

“Come on now, we’ll play hide and seek over there,” Marco pointed and winked at us. He carried Mischa, “Later!” and they left us.

I nodded and looked at Laurence who was looking at me too. He smiled at me and held onto my waist. We walked to the aisle to greet more guests. Oh my, what’s happening to him? Has he forgotten about the ring? Or he’s just faking it. Perhaps he’s really mad at me.

While partying, I went to the cocktail station and saw Prince…

“Hi dearest Prince,” I smiled a bit while choosing a drink.

“I love you….I love you…I love you….” Prince said amorously.

“I love you too, Prince,” I sipped on my drink. “Where have you been? I haven’t seen you in the mansion.”

“Oh, how I miss you….”

“I did miss you too…” I answered.

He suddenly chuckled, “You are so silly! I wish you are here with me….” and he sighed.

“But I’m already beside you…” I shook my head, still thinking of the ring.

“I miss you, my life…”

“Fuck,” I looked at him and I didn’t notice that he was talking with in law! I was out of my mind and I guess Prince was too? Actually, he’s too busy with the call and he didn’t notice me too.

“Shin?”

“Yeah?”

“Oh, sorry! Were you talking to me?” and Prince faced me. “Wait a sec, my life…”

“No, I am not talking to you,” I smirked. “For goodness sake, Prince…I was talking to you a few moments ago!”

“Really?” he chuckled. “I didn’t know.”

“Yeah, it’s obvious,” I sipped on my drink, “you’re busy…”

He nodded, smiling. “I’m sorry.”

“Hey! My Life! I’m waiting! Talk to me! Talk to me! Talk to me!” in law was shouting.

“Shut up,” I answered, chuckled.

“Fuck you! I’m not talking to you, in law!” in law answered back.

“Fine!” I changed the tone of my voice, like a girl’s, “Prince, honey…come here baby….”

“Yuck, in law!” he chuckled, “Oh by the way, happy birthday!”

I chuckled too, “Thanks!”

“Happy birthday, Shin,” Prince smiled.

“Thank you! Thank you!” I was still chuckling. “Where have you been, anyway? I haven’t seen you the whole day.”

“He’s busy with me!” in law answered.

“Geez, how come you can hear—“

“Secret!” he laughed.

“Eh?”

“Why? Any problem with that? Prince! Prince! He’s picking a fight with me!”

“What do you want me to do then?”

“Just talk to me. Just me! No one else!” in law demanded.

“The fuck? Is that you in law?” I laughed too then I saw Laurence coming.

“Dinner time already,” he said.

“Ah, I’ll eat later,” Prince smiled and left.

Laurence looked at me.

“He’s busy talking with his life,” I said.

“Oh,” he took the glass from me, “don’t drink too much. I don’t want you to become a kissing monster already.”

“I won’t, don’t worry…”

He put the glass down and took my hand. He kissed it, “I’m hungry, let’s eat now…”

I nodded. He’s still weird. Anyway, we already ate and some were already drinking. Prince? He was still talking with in law in the balcony. Laurence was spoon feeding me again and while eating, I observed the place. It was really a beautiful place, with a good ambience. We were in a pavilion in the vast field of green grass with rose bushes alongside. There was a villa and a lake behind. There were benches and apple trees!

“We want to hear a message from our birthday celebrant before I slice the cake,” dad said.

“Do I still need to?” I pouted my lips.

“Of course, sweetheart,” he pinched my cheek.

I sighed and went in front. I smiled.

“That’s it?” Mike teased.

The guests laughed. I looked at where Prince was and he was still talking with in law.

“Well, what should I say?” I smirked and looked at them. “Anyway, good evening?”

They were staring at me. Crap. What’s this? I’m having a monologue?

“I was just wondering why the hell do all of you guys are here?” I continued. “I mean, it’s just my birthday. It’s not that special for you guys to just go here, right? You know, I’m still thinking about your expenses. But….there’s a big but here,” I chuckled. “But I thank all of you. I know deep inside that money’s not that important for you and your presence does and yes, you’re already here. I am touched. Really.”

I looked at dad and he whispered, “Go on, son. Say what you feel…”

I nodded, “You know, I’ve been dreaming of this guy to become mine since the moment that I felt that he’s the right one for me. I know my feelings are true so I kept on waiting. A lot of challenges happened and I did everything just to be with him until one day…the day I have been asking for, he became mine.”

I smiled, “And you know, I’ve been lucky…one of my most memorable days, oh…actually, every time I’m with him is memorable,” I chuckled, “perhaps one of my favorite day was during the Valentines day. It was the day that he proposed to me. I’m speechless. I don’t know what to say…it feels like I’m floating on the clouds…like it’s a fairytale….I have mixed emotions. That’s it.”

I looked at my mother and she was wiping her tears. I looked at Prince and finally he was already listening to my speech. I looked at Laurence and he was looking at me too.

“I wanted to show you….” I bit my lip, “yeah, show you my engagement ring…” I turned my back as my tears fell. I wiped my tears and faced the guests again, “Sorry about that…well, as I was saying…I wanted to show you my engagement ring and show you how I am so happy…” tears were falling down again, “but I misplaced it…or rather someone took it early this morning. I don’t want to elaborate what has happened but…Laurence,” I was looking on the floor, “I’m really….really sorry….I’m sorry,” I hiccupped. “I love you…please forgive me…”

Then the “Marry Me” song played and someone hugged me, yeah it was Laurence. The guests cheered as he kissed me passionately.

“Aren’t you…mad at me?”

He wiped my tears, took my hands and kissed them, “I am not, Shin…”

“But you were…” I can’t look at him straightly in his eyes.

“I did it on purpose,” he was smiling.

“What do you mean by that?”

He knelt down and took something from his pocket. It was a purple box and he opened it, “Will you marry me, Shin? Will you be my Shin Hilfiger?” he was staring at me.

“Ugh, but….” I scratched onto my head, “how…how come you have the ring?” I was confused.

“Geez, Shin! Stop that!

“Say yes again!”

“Will you?”

“I do, I will be your Shin Hilfiger,” I answered, smiling.

He inserted the ring in my finger and stood up already. “I love you so much….”

“I love you too….” I smiled. “But where did you get the ring? I don’t understand.”

“It was part of my plan,” Laurence chuckled.

“What? What do you mean by that?”

“Well, I wanted to propose to you again with your relatives. I wanted to show and prove to them that you’re the only one for me and the other way around. I know that they’re not updated when it comes to the blog so I planned doing it again.”

“And?”

He held my hand, “I was the one who paid for their expenses.”

“And?” I kept on asking.

“I have paid those gangsters to take away your ring.”

“And?”

“I love you.”

“Aw, the two of you are so sweet!” the crowd cheered.

I smiled him and hugged him so tightly.

“And aside from that, I want to get some consent from your parents too…”

“Such a good son,” my dad tapped him on his back. “Make me proud.”

“I promise,” Laurence smiled.

“Woohoo! Let’s party!” Mike said.

And we partied. Around 1 in the morning…we all went home. My relatives will stay here in Japan for a week according to dad. While in my room…

“You’re such a smart ass, sweetheart,” I smirked as I was looking at him who was changing his clothes.

“You’re not just smart to know,” he teased.

I pouted my lips, “Good night,” and I slumbered.

He chuckled and crawled over me, “I was just kidding, sweetheart. I just did it to surprise you and your relatives.”

“They really don’t have an idea about the proposal?”

“They don’t. I just told them that it was just about your birthday party,” he licked my ear.

“Oh, I see…”

He faced me to him and started kissing me. He removed my shirt as well as his and the door suddenly opened.

“Uh-oh,” I mumbled while peeping who opened the door.

“It’s nothing,” Laurence pushed me and kissed me again.

“Shin…? VII….?” A small voice said.

“Shit!” I leaped and covered Mischa’s eyes. “What are you doing here you little girl?”

“I can’t sleep,” she removed my hand and went onto the bed, “can I sleep here?”

I looked at Laurence and he smiled, “It’s fine with me, Shin….”

“Ok then,” I smiled too and went beside Mischa, she was in the middle. “Uhm, did you see something when you went inside my room?”

She nodded.

“What did you see?”

“Your room....and your bed…and on the top of your bed…was you….and on top of you, was him,” she giggled.

“Crap,” I uttered.

“I like this kid,” he chuckled as he lay down.

“And? What else? Did you see something else?” I asked.

She looked at the ceiling, “Ah…can I just whisper it in your ear?”

“Sure,” I leaned towards her.

“You were kissing,” she snickered.

“What did she say?”

“She said she saw us kissing,” I answered.

“At least, just kissing,” he laughed.

Mischa stared at her.

“I love your cousin that’s why I kissed him, Mischa. That’s all,” he patted her head.

“But why aren’t you wearing your clothes?”

“Ok! Time to sleep!” I said while covering her eyes. “Sleep now!”

I do

“Yes, I do...” I kept on whispering into his ears, “I do...”

“Shin wake up!” I heard a loud nagging voice, “Damn it, Shin! Wake up!”

I opened my eyes and saw Prince, “What the fuck...” I mumbled, “What do you want?”

He sat on the corner of my bed as I rubbed my eyes and slowly sat upright, “Nothing... I just thought I need to wake you up...”

'Huh?' I yawned and scratched onto my head, “You just thought? Tsk, my goodness, Prince.”

Prince laughed, “I knew it.”

“You knew what?”

“You’re going to be pissed,” Prince was still laughing, “Anyway...VII called and he said, he'll fetch you at 11.”

I smiled, “Really? Aw... he's so sweet,' I teased him because he was teasing me earlier.

He smirked, “If I were you, I'll stop teasing and prepare myself.”

'Hm?' I looked at the clock and, “Fuck! Why didn't you wake me up earlier?” I exclaimed seeing that it's already 10:30.

“I tried to... but you kept on saying, ‘Yes I do’,” he threw a pillow on me. “Silly.”

“It’s not my fault!” I almost jumped out of my feet and rushed to the bathroom, I didn't get the chance to close the door and so Prince followed me in. “You did this on purpose, didn't you Prince?”

“What?” he asked.

“You wanted me to be late!” I exclaimed, “You're envy!”

“Wrong... I did wake you up at 9 but you won't wake up,” he folded his arms. “It’s your fault, not mine.”

“Excuses...” I sighed and just continue bathing. Prince went out after awhile.

I was already finished in waxing my hair when Prince knocked at my door.

“Shin...” he called, “Your prince charming is here...”

“Okay, in a moment!” I responded. I looked at myself once more and, “Ugh... geez, why are you this cute, Shin?” I chuckled.

I went downstairs and greeted Laurence with a kiss, “Hello, sweetheart!”

He smiled, “Hi there.”

“I thought I would be late,” I pouted my lips.

'Why?' he asked as he wrapped his arm around my waist.

“Prince woke me up late,” I answered while looking at Prince unkindly.

“I didn't!” Prince complained, “Believe me VII, when you called at 9 AM, I went to his room to wake him up but he didn’t!”

Laurence chuckled, “Is that so?”

I sighed, “All right... all right.”

Laurence pinched my cheek, “Let's go?”

I nodded.

VII looked at Prince, “We'll leave now.”

Prince nodded, “Sure... take care you two.”

'Yeah, we're going to ENJOY OUR DATE today. It's a couple's day anyway,” I teased him for the second time.

Laurence grimaced.

“Shut your fucking mouth, Shin...” Prince uttered and he was like pushing me outside of the mansion.

“You’re just envious, bleh!” I stuck my tongue out and laughed. “Anyway, thanks!' I laughed, 'See yah!'

“Yeah, whatever,” he pouted his lips.

“Got to go,” Laurence bid his goodbye again and we left. While driving...

“Where are we going sweetheart?” I asked as I opened the heater of his car. Japan today is very cold; and the streets were covered with snow.

“Kyoto,” he uttered.

“Kyoto?” I asked, “Why there?”

“Hm...” he waited for the stop light to go red before he answered, “Coz there would be a chocolate festival there
today and I want you to enjoy it.”

“Chocolate Festival?” I sounded like a kid.

He nodded, “Yeah... they say that all the different kinds of chocolate all over the world will be exhibited and promoted there and since you like sweets, I want you to taste all the chocolates that you like.”

I chuckled, “Geez... I'll gain so much weight after today huh?”

“I think so too,” the stoplight went green.

“Hm...” I uttered.

“Yes?” he asked.

“How about you? You don't like sweets?”

He smiled, “Oh... didn't you know, I like sweets now.”

“Eh?” I looked at him amazed.

He looked at me too, “I like my sweet Shin...”

I blushed, “Laurence!” and hugged him tight.

“Easy... I'm driving,” he mumbled as he laid a kiss on my forehead.

“I’m so excited to eat those chocolates!” I said with a great enthusiasm. “You’ll eat too, okay?”

“I’ll eat you,” and he chuckled.

After an hour of driving, we were already in Kyoto...

I trembled, “Geez... it's so cold!”

Laurence held my hand and pulled me closer to him, “You don't mind, do you?”

I looked at him and then looked at the other people who were looking at us, “Nah... I don't mind” and kiss him on his lips, “They're just envy...”

He smiled. We walked down town and reached the place where the Chocolate festival was being held.

My eyes widened and my jaw almost fell, “Wow! There are soooo many choooocooooolates!”

I heard Laurence’s chuckle.

“This is soooooo amaaaaazing! Tremendously awesoooooome!” I continued my loooong pronounciation of words to put more emphasis.

“You like it?” he asked.

I nodded, “No.”

“Ugh, for real?” he sighed.

I nodded, “I looooove it, Laurence! I am so looooving it!” and I hugged him.

He pinched my cheek, “I thought you didn’t like it,” and he smiled, “I'm glad that you do.”

The place was open to public for viewing but there was a private portion for people who want to grab a bite of the millions of chocolates displayed. We picked the 2-seat table near the balcony with some white roses designed and
enjoyed cloud nine.

“Take it easy sweetheart, we have all day...” he teased me.

I chuckled, “Yeah, yeah I know...but this is so yummy!” I exclaimed and continue eating.

Laurence just ate a bar of traditional dark chocolate from Aztecs, while me... I ate too many to mention!

“Are you still okay, Shin?” he was worried.

I nodded, “Ugh...I wanna eat more,” I heaved a sigh, “but I think my tummy couldn't stand it anymore,” and
hiccupped.

He chuckled, “Then let's just bring some home...”

My eyes flickered, “Really? Yehey! I would love to!”

He smiled and signaled the waitress to bring our bill.

“I'll bring some for Prince, he needs this to lessen his sadness,” I chuckled.

“I think so too.”

A few moments later, we walked hand-in-hand...

“Where are we going next?” I asked.

“Well... if I'll follow my plan, after the chocolate festival, we have to go to the restaurant I reserved for us but
since you're still full, perhaps we can skip that first and go to the next destination.”

I nodded, “Oh! I see.” I looked at him, “I am so sorry Laurence, your sweetheart is a chocolate-monster...”

'I didn't know actually...' he grimaced.

I pouted my lips, 'I’m sorry...'

We stopped walking and he held my chin, 'Stop saying sorry...it's all right, sweetheart.” He patted my head, “I
want you to enjoy so just tell me whatever you want, okay?” and he smiled at me.

And there in the middle of the street where everyone can see us, I gave him the most passionate kiss I can ever give that day.

He bit his lips, “You always surprise me.”

“You haven't seen anything...” I mumbled.

Then we continued walking until we reached a private skating rink.

“Do you know how to skate sweetheart?” he asked me as we entered.

“No?” I was shy.

A guy approached us, “VII-ouji?”

He nodded, 'Yes, I am.'

The guy shook hands with him, “So I'll be back in three hours, sir. I hope you enjoy,” and he left the key to us and went on.

“Don't tell me you rented this rink?”

He chuckled, “Isn’t it obvious?”

“Ugh,” I looked down.

“Come on, sweetheart. We only have three hours so we should start now.”

Geez... how can I tell him that I don't know a thing about skating! “Swee...sweet...sweetheart?” I called him, stuttering.

'Yes?' he was putting on his skating gear.

“Ah...” I can’t look at him straightly, “I...I don't know how to skate...”

I felt his arms around my waist, “Then I'll teach my queen...”

I looked at him and he surprised me with a kiss.

‘Q...qu...queen?” I was still stuttering and I also felt my cheeks burning.

He chuckled and kissed me on my cheek, “You are so cute, sweetheart. Shall we?”

I nodded. He put on my skating gears and we started to skate. Obviously, I fell so many times but Laurence was always there to catch me. After falling so many times, we decided to stop skating. We sat on the center of the rink; Laurence was giving me a massage. He said that in order to avoid cramps, I should relax my muscles right after skating.

“So, you skate sweetheart?” I asked.

He nodded.

“Who taught you?”

“My fiancée.”

“Hm?”

“I mean my betrothed before, she's a skater so she taught me how to. I saw it interesting so I gave it a shot.”

I nodded, “Ah... I see.”

“Why didn't you try skating?” he asked me.

I thought for a while, “Coz no one ever taught me to?”

“You're unsure?'

“Geez... I don't like skating sweetheart.”

He chuckled.

“What?”

“You're too honest. I am sorry, I didn't know you don't like this stuff.”

“Oh, no!” I went beside him, “This is okay... I mean, I am not interested in skating but that doesn't mean I didn't
like this...”

“Really?” he stared at me.

I stared him too, “I love you...” I pushed him and I crawled over him, “I am so in love with you...” I caressed his
face, “I love you... I love you...”

He smiled, “And I love you too...” and wrapped his arms around me.

I laid over him for a while until...

“Can you wait here for a minute, sweetheart?”

I nodded, “Sure... where are you going?”

He smiled as he left. After 3 minutes or so, he returned with a guitar. He sat opposite me and started to pluck the guitar. He started to sing, and I listened to him intently...


Forever can never be long enough for me
Feel like I've had long enough with you
Forget the world now we won't let them see
But there's one thing left to do

Now that the weight has lifted
Love has surely shifted my way
Marry Me
Today and every day
Marry Me
If I ever get the nerve to say
Hello in this cafe
Say you will, oh...
Say you will

Together can never be close enough for me
Feel like I am close enough to you
You wear white and I'll wear out the words I love
And you're beautiful
Now that the wait is over
And love and has finally shown his my way

Marry me
Today and every day
Marry me
If I ever get the nerve to say hello in this cafe
Say you will , oh...
Say you will

Promise me
You'll always be
Happy by my side
I promise to
Sing to you
When all the music dies

And marry me
Today and everyday
Marry me
If I ever get the nerve to say hello in this cafe
Say you will , oh...
Marry me


After singing, he approached me and knelt down in front of me. He got something from his pocket, “Marry me, Shin Caelum...” he uttered. He got my hand and placed a small purple box.

I looked at him.

“Open it,” he said.

I nodded; I slowly opened the box and saw a ring. I was shocked; he took the ring out of the box and wore it to me.
I was speechless; I didn't know what to say.

“Will you marry me?” he asked me. “Will you be my Shin Hilfiger?

I was still speechless.

“Shin?” he touched my face, “Will you marry me?”

I smiled and what else to say but, “Yes... I will be your Shin Hilfiger.”

He hugged me tight and whispered, “Thank you...”

After his proposal, we went to a shopping mall. Well, this wasn't part of his plan he told me but he insisted that he wants to see me in a groom outfit. While on the fitting area...

“Shin, are you done?” Laurence called out for me.

“Hold on a minute...” I told him while trying to pick a good color scheme for the neck tie.

“Do you need any help?”

I went out, “Tadah...” I grinned.

I saw his eyes flickered and his lips smiled sweetly.

“Laurence?”

“Un homme beau...” he whispered.

“Pardon?” I asked.

“Saperlipopette...” he grinned.

“What are you saying?” I pouted my lips.

“Le plus beau garçon que j'ai jamais vu...”

I whined, “Sweetheart!”

“Pourquoi es-tu si belle?” he smirked as he pulled me into his arms, “Je t'aime...”

I smiled, “I love you too...” and pinched his nose.

“I thought you don't speak French?” I was still jailed around his arms.

“I don't.”

“Then how come?” he rubbed his nose in my cheek.

“I just know... ‘je t'aime’.”

He nodded.

Of course we didn't buy the outfit; he just wants me to try some. But we did buy; I mean he did buy the necktie for me. I told him I wanna rest so we went to a coffee shop to drink some tea and relax ourselves.

“Is that you VII?” a woman tapped Laurence's shoulder.

Laurence looked at her, “XXII?”

“Oh my god!” the woman exclaimed, “Brother!” and hugged him.

Laurence hugged her too, “Hey... what brings you here?”

The woman sat beside Laurence, “Duh! I should be the one asking you that. I live here remember?” and she laughed.

“Oh right, well...” he looked at me, “I'm with my boyfriend.”

The woman looked at me and perhaps she’s in her middle 20's, “So you are Shin?”

I nodded and smiled, “Yeah, nice to meet you...”

She shook hands with me, “Oh my, the rumors are right. You are cute!” and she giggled. “It's nice to finally meet
you. My name is XXII, a Chrono also under XXVII.”

“Oh, you mean in-law?” I shook hands with her too.

“In-law?” she chuckled, “Yeah, you could say that. We're adoptive brothers and sisters by master.”

“He knows that already,” Laurence clarified, “What he means is that, he's related to our leader's lover as well.”

“Oh?” she was shocked, “How?”

“We're cousins,” I answered.

She nodded, “Oh I see... wow, the world is small.”

I agreed, “So you know Prince?”

She shrugged his head, “Not yet... but soon, I'll visit Tokyo this summer.”

“That's good,” Laurence lit his cigar, “How are you doing now?”

“The same, mission there... mission here. How about you? How are the other Numbers?”

“We're the same, we're fine.”

“Oh!” she exclaimed, “Before I forgot, is it true... XXVII is going to resign?”

I looked at Laurence.

“Unfortunately...” he said.

“So, you will take over?” she smiled.

Laurence shrugged his head, “No way... the Numbers don’t want him to leave so I think he has no choice but to
stay.”

“Well... personally, I don't want him to go either but if that's what he wants then we couldn't do anything. He had sacrificed so much already, I think he deserves peace now.”

“He’s doing this for his lover, not for him.”

She nodded, “Our leader must really love him then.”

“You can say that again.”

“Mind if I don’t?” she chuckled, “He’s willing to give up who he is for this person called as Prince?” she smirked,
“How amazing Prince is, must have been a good catch.”

“XXVII can give up anything, even his own life for that person.”

I just listened to them as they talk about in-law's resignation to the Numbers.

“Oh shit!” she squeaked, “I'm gonna be late for university. I have to go,” she stood up. “It’s really nice to meet you, Shin. Let's hang out again soon, okay?”

“Yeah sure, I would love to,” I told her.

“Okay!” she kissed my cheek and Laurence's as well, “Bye, have a good day you two,” and she left.

“She's nice,” I told him.

“She was an ex-girlfriend of your in-law.”

“Huh?” I wondered.

“That's why when she learned that XXVII is having a serious relationship, she moved out.”

I nodded, “Ah... I see, wow, I wouldn't be anymore surprise if all the Numbers became in-law's girl.”

“Well...” he paused, “Not all...”

“Hm... who didn't?” I finished my tea.

“Only IX,” he finished his cigar too, “Let's?”

I nodded and we headed to our next destination. We went to a carnival. In there, we did a lot of things but I’m too
lazy now to elaborate each and every part so I’ll just put some sugar-on-top scenes.

“Let’s ride the roller coaster sweetheart!” I told him.

His face became weary, “Ugh… sure, ride the roller coaster, sweetheart.”

I held on to his hand, “Let’s ride it together…” I winked.

He shrugged his head, “I cannot…”

I stared at him.

“I’m not good at rides, sorry…”

Oh right, I remember! He doesn’t want this kind of adventure, “So sorry! I forgot, hmm… oh I know what to ride!” I grinned.

He looked at me.

“Let’s just ride the merry-go-around…” I smiled at him.

He smiled back, “Okay, I think I would survive that.”

I laughed. We did ride the horses in the merry-go-around and luckily, he did survive. But after the round and round of the horse, his face turned flushed.

We sat in a nearby bench, “Are you okay, sweetheart?” I comforted him.

He nodded, “Yeah… I just don’t like spinning and spinning over and over again.”

I sighed, “This is my fault…”

He looked at me.

“If I didn’t think of that stupid merry-go-around, you wouldn’t be like this.”

He caressed his face, “I love you Shin…”

“I lo—” he didn’t let me finish by pressing his lips onto mine.

Since I don’t want him to feel any dizziness anymore, we just went to the animal show. We watched different
animals as they performed live. Then we played some games like target shooting, fish catching and some other
carnival games.

After couple of hours, we decided to call it a day. We went to fancy restaurant to eat dinner and then we headed back to Tokyo. We arrived before 11 in the evening. I spent the night in their house.

Laurence gave me some clean clothes.

“Thank you…” I told him.

“You’re welcome,” he lit his cigar, “Are you sleepy now?”

I grinned, “No…”

His face wondered, “Shin?”

I slowly and sensually remove all my clothes, I only let my boxers to stay and then I sat on his lap.

“This day wouldn’t be complete without…” I paused and started to unbutton his polo, “Love…”

He grinned, “Silly…” and let me undress him.

I pushed him on his bed and I crawled over him, “Top or bottom?”

He grimaced, “Top…”

I smiled, “Right…”

And whatever happened next, you know already. I was fondling his hair when I asked him how much he loves me.

“Unconditional,” he whispered into my ears.

“Unconditional?” I asked, wanting him to repeat it for me.

“Unconditional,” he repeated.

“Why do you love me Laurence?” I asked.

“Before I answer that, let me tell you a story…” he sat upright as I rested my head on his chest.

“Okay… I’m listening.’


One day a girl asked: “Why do you like me..? Why do you love me..?”

HE answered: I can’t tell the reason... but I really like you…

SHE: You can’t even tell me the reason… how can you say you like me? How can you say you love me?

HE: I really don’t know the reason, but I can prove that I love you.

SHE: Proof? No I want you to tell me the reason, my friends’ boyfriend can tell her why he loves her but you can’t!

HE: Hmm… I love you because you are beautiful, because your voice is sweet, because you are caring, because you
love, because you are thoughtful, because of your smile, because of your every movement.

The girl felt very satisfied with his answer. Unfortunately, a few days later, the gal met with an accident and
became comma.

HE then placed a letter by her side, and here is the content:

Darling,

Because of your sweet voice that I love you… now can you talk? no…

Therefore I cannot love you.

Because of your care and concern that I like you… now that you cannot show them.

Therefore I cannot love you.

Because of your smile, because of your every movement that I love you… now can you smile? now can you move?
No…

Therefore I cannot love you…

If love needs a reason, like now, there is no reason for me to love you anymore.


I sat upright too and looked at him, “Then?”

“But love Shin doesn’t need any reason. Sometimes the best and the most beautiful things in the world cannot be
seen, cannot be touched, but can be felt in the heart… Love doesn’t need a reason. It’s something you can feel
burning inside your heart and waiting to explode,” he pulled me gently and hugged me tight, “I love you… period.”

I smiled, “I love you too… period,” and kissed him again.
