Maturity, or its semblance—how mature was mature, anyway?—made them more honest these days. He didn’t feign calmness, didn’t wait for her to leave before howling his jubilation. She didn’t giggle behind closed doors as his child-like reaction tugged at her heart. These she remembered from a similar but oh-so-different scenario of five years ago.
Back then, his excitement after he received her ‘yes,’ to date him transformed him into a little boy. (The little boy he had been like many, many times over the time she had known him, the momentary descent of his mental age, was sometimes maddeningly infuriating, sometimes heart-wrenchingly endearing, sometimes impossibly both at the same time.) Back then, it had made her laugh in amusement.
Now, his triumphant whoop made her burst into tears. (They were happy tears, ecstatic, even, and they traveled down from the side of his neck where her crimson face was buried, traced his shoulder muscles as they locked in contraction when he clasped her to him as tightly as bodily possible, and soaked into the starched, tailored shirt he had just put on for another busy work day.) He had asked her yesterday, certainly a much more decent proposal than the one over ramen from before their long separation.
...Or was it a year ago he asked her?
To make the long story short, it took her some time to decide, but he had waited patiently (as patiently as the great Domyoji Tsukasa ever waited) and she had gone to him herself when she was finally ready to speak her mind.
And heart. Never ever forget it was the heart that spoke in the case of such matters.
