The sun began to set as the hour began approaching Heizou.

As the light began to fade away, so too did Heizou's confidence.

"Uh... Tianlin... it's fine if we push the proposal to tomorrow right?" Asked Heizou, his voice trembling with nervousness and embarassment.

"Sure. But just know that we, the Qixing, got your back, and will probably spy on you from that bush." Said Tianlin, proudly.

"What-" Stuttered Heizou

"Anyways, I'll be here. You should go back to the inn and have some nice alone time with your Kazooie-Pazooie Kazu-pop or whatever you call him."
Suggested Tianlin.

"That's a good idea! I'll go right now."

Suddenly... Heizou's vision shone brightly, which helped him to begin sprinting at the velocity of wind.

-----On his way back-----

As Heizou sprinted to the inn, he began recollecting the events that would follow during the proposal, as well as how he imagined it would go.

"Hmm... first I blindfold Kazuha and take him to the venue, then I open it up and fire the confetti canon. Then, I'll say something romantic and then hold his hand- AAAAH- I'm gonna malfunction! AAAAAAH- No. Stay calm Heizou!"

"Anyways, first the blindfold, then the canons, then romantic words then I bend down on one knee and propose and I kiss him. Oh my god, Im gonna put a ring on him. I feel like if he says yes I'm gonna die- *ahem*. After that, we look at the sea where the fireworks are being launched so that we can share another kiss underneath the beautiful explosions."

"Perfect~☆"

Heizou then reached the inn.

--In their room--

"Honey~ I'm home~" Yelled Heizou, as soon as he entered the room.

"Heizou! I missed you so much!" Yelled Kazuha with the same enthusiasm.

"I missed you too!" Replied Heizou.

Suddenly, Kazuha began to pout.

"Heizou.... You forgot
something..."

"What did I forget?- Did you
ask me for anything?-"

"You forgot about my kiss
that you promised when
you came back!"

"I'm so sorry! I'll give
it to you right now!"

Heizou then gave Kazuha a small kiss on the cheek.

Suddenly, Kazuha smirked and held Heizou's face. A kiss was then put on his lips, with their gaze interlocked, their tounges wrestling, their hearts pounding.

Suddenly, Kazuha pulled himself and Heizou on their bed, without stopping the kiss.

Kazuha was positioned above Heizou.

After 2 minutes of kissing and rolling around in the bed, the kiss had stopped abruptly.

"Nn.... Why'd you stop..." Complained Heizou.

"Since we're this far in our relationship, shouldn't we do much more?" Teased Kazuha.

-----Heizou's Thoughts-----

(W-WHAT THOUGHTS ARE MY BABY HAVING?!? SURELY HE'S NOT ASKING FO-)

...

-------------------------------------

Suddenly, Kazuha removed his shirt and placed himself on top of Heizou.

"I'm going to make you feel good, I'll be gentle. Hehe~"

A kiss was then planted on Heizou's lips after Kazuha removed Heizou's shirt. The two then shared an intimate kiss with one another.

Kazuha then moved downwards, after ending the kiss, and proceeded to plant kisses Heizou's chest. Heizou's chest became a kiss garden.

Heizou was all red and had malfunctioned before he eventually regained his senses.

(No! I can't let him take charge! I'm losing my edge, I need to be the one flustering him, not the other way around!)

Suddenly, Heizou held Kazuha and stood up from their bed. He then pinned Kazuha to the wall.

He then kissed Kazuha and began caressing Kazuha's abs. Kazuha shuddered, overwhelmed with the sensation.

Heizou then teased Kazuha.

"My, my~ My boyfriend was hiding this sensitive body from me for so long~ I wonder how good it would feel being caressed by your boyfriend~"

Kazuha had malfunctioned too.

Suddenly, their mood had been disrupted by a knock on the door.

"Ah-" 

"Shit-"

They then quickly wore their shirts and opened the door. Kazuha had received a package.

They then closed the door after taking it and were both flustered to the point they yelled in their minds. Kazuha became too embarrassed to continue.

"I already made dinner- l-lets go eat it-"
Suggested Kazuha.

"B-But- Our moment-" Complained Heizou.

Kazuha then pulled Heizou by the arm forcefully and began serving food.

They then ate the delicious meal prepared by Kazuha and took a shower after a while of chatting.

They then hopped in bed and began cuddling after changing clothes.

The boys wrapped their arms around eachother's waist.

Heizou thought about the proposal prior to falling asleep. The nervousness caused him to pass out.

The two then drifted to sleep...

-----The Next Day-----

The two boys then awoke to the sounds of birds chirping and proceeded to get ready and wash up. They then had their breakfast and chatted for a while.

----Later----

"Alright, I'm gonna head out! Come pick me up by the harbor later at 20:00 (time of proposal)." Said Heizou.

"Alright!" Agreed Kazuha.

Heizou then went to the venue and practiced the proposal and romantic words tirelessly. Meanwhile, Tianlin and the other staff Tianlin hired were setting the place up. They even got a sign restricting movement in the area just for this proposal.

Heizou then had a crisis inside, nervous about messing up; nervous about rejection. However, he reassured himself with the thought that everything was going to be fine. He then recollected their entire love story and said:

-----------------

"Kazuha... I love you so much... I hope you accept this proposal, and I hope we will be engaged soon!"

-----------------

Note: Writer here! Nyehehe I'm back from the dead and will post the next chapter soon, which by the way, is the story's finale! The chapter will be twice as long and will be posted after a while in order to yk keep the excitement between the lover's engagement. This story may continue with a bonus chapter afterwards~☆ Just maybe though.

With that said, thank you all for the support and I hope you enjoy all the work.

Have a great 2023!
(Or 2024 if you're that one time traveler online)
