Boyfriend Rings (Sasaki's Birthday Drabble)
"Shuumei-san." I turned my head towards the voice. Myaa-chan was fidgety, his handsome face was tense and his gaze darted.
My chest softened, almost melting at the sight of my first love. "What is it, Myaa-chan?"
He seemed to steel himself and locked our gazes. "Here, this is for you. . . um. . . " He extended a small box. "Happy Birthday."
He yelped as I wrapped him in my arms, burying my face in his soft hair. "Thank you, Myaa-chan. I'm so happy." He returned the hug and patted my back softly.
I picked the box and opened it. Two simple rings sat on soft-looking material.
My heart skipped a bit. "Myaa-chan. . . this is. . . "
"Oh, um, well. . . we have been dating for so long but we don't have many things to um. . ."
I took a deep breath. "Yeah, y-you are right-"
"But!" Myaa-chan cut me off as he held my arms, speaking with passion. "This is a promise! I'll ask senpai's hand for marriage one day!"
When I caught up with his words, I burst out a laugh. "Myaa-chan, you-"
"Ahhh, Shuumei-san, I meant Shuumei-san!" He fretted, blushing madly.
Meanwhile, I picked the smallest band. "Myaa-chan, your hand."
He stared in a daze before lowered his eyes at his right hand. Then, he extended his left, placing his very-much-like-a-guy's fingers on my palm. "Which finger?" I asked.
"Ring finger," he answered, bashful. I slid the piece of jewelry, caressing it before bringing his hand to my lips. From the corner of my eyes, Myaa-chan blushed.
I couldn't help but grin. He's adorable.
"I'll put yours." I was lying on Myaa-chan's shoulder, still holding his hands. "Left hand too?" He asked for confirmation. I nodded. He lifted our joined hands and tried to slide the ring.
I felt his face flush. "This is the biggest size they had!"
I chuckled. "Whichever finger fits then."
Myaa-chan tried all but the only one that fit was the pinky. His shoulders and head were crestfallen.
I hugged him tightly. "I love you, Myaa-chan."
