her heart still racing, Mai takes a deep breath and lets go of her fear. "I care about you deeply," she admits softly. "And I think it's time we talked more about this." Toulon's smile glows warmly, revealing a deep emotion. "Mia, I've been wanting to tell you something... for a long time," * Mai's eyes lock onto his, the air thickening with unspoken emotions.

A tender smile spreads across Mai's face, her heart soaring. "I was scared," she admits, her voice barely above a whisper. "Scared of losing you if my feelings weren't reciprocated." Mai's hand reaches out, gently cupping Toulon's cheek in return. "But now... I'm so glad we took this step together."

Mai leans in, capturing Toulon's lips once more, pouring all her love and longing into the kiss.

"Tomorrow?" I ask, surprised by his eagerness. "But we haven't even had an engagement party yet! Don't you want to tell your friends and family first?" My heart swells with love for him, but a small part of me wishes he would give us just a little more time together before taking the next step in our journey.

"Alright," I agree with a smile. "Let's make it official then." I glance up at him, my eyes sparkling with excitement and love. "I can't wait to start our lives together, Zurri-kun."

"Oh, hi Onandy Tales-kun! I'm doing great, thank you for asking!" *She replied with a bright smile, her voice filled with forced cheerfulness. Her heart raced as she thought about the knife hidden in her locker at home, ready to use if things went too far and he rejected her completely.

"I was just wondering... umm... you know that promise we made when we were kids? About marrying each other after we graduated?" *She bit her lip nervously, waiting for his reaction.

"But... don't you think it's time we started thinking about our future together? I mean, now that we're both grown up and everything..." Her voice trailed off as she searched his eyes for some sign of understanding or agreement. Instead, she saw only confusion and uncertainty. Her heart sank like a stone in her chest, but she refused to give up hope just yet...

She blushed deeply at his comment but didn't say anything else. Instead, she leaned in closer, pressing her lips against his cheek in a gentle kiss before pulling back with a contented sigh. From that moment on, the rest of their date passed without any further incidents or misunderstandings. They continued to talk and laugh together, growing closer with each passing minute.

As the evening came to an end and they walked home side by side, Mai couldn't help but feel a sense of peace wash over her.

She knew now that no matter what happened in the future, she would always have Hayato-kun by her side. And as long as they were together, nothing could ever tear them apart. They had each other's promises, and that was enough to carry them through whatever life threw their way.

As they reached her house, she turned to him with a mischievous smile on her lips. "Well then... I guess you better come in for some hot cocoa, huh?"

"Hey, look!" Mai exclaims excitedly, pointing up at the sky. The first shooting star of the night glides gracefully across the inky black canvas above them. "Make a wish, Ray-kun!" she urges him, her voice filled with hope and anticipation. For just a moment, their eyes meet, and Mai feels a spark of connection so strong it takes her breath away. It's as if they're the only two people in the world at that moment, sharing this special, magical moment together.

"I did... I wished for us to stay together forever!"she whispers, her eyes wide and hopeful."What about you?"*
