So much Uihai. I love it!
Ihei Hairu nearly collapses as soon s their meeting ends. She swears Marude just asked questions to hear himself talk.
“Coffee?” Ui asks her, and she nods eagerly.
“I’d die without it after whatever the hell that was,” Hairu mutters, and Ui has to chuckle, though he feels guilty, too. After all, he was the one who asked Marude to take up extra time.
When they arrive at Re cafe, Hairu’s favorite, he orders a latte for both of them, as planned. The blue-haired manager winks at him. She’s been planning this for a week.
Hairu looks down at her cup and gasps.
Will you marry me? is written in the foam.
“Now!” he hears Shio whisper, and Hirako’s dog totters into the cafe, a ring box adorning its collar.
Ui drops to his knees. “Will you – I mean – can you – do you want to marry me?”
His fingers scrambled to open the box. A beautiful pink diamond, just the color of her hair. Arima helped him pick it out.
Hairu shrieks. “Yes!”
And then she tackles him, peppering his face with kisses.
The Quinx Squad and Arima Squad file in, Saiko with balloons and Hirako with chocolates. Sasaki heads right up to the manager to thank her.
“Koori,” she whispers in his ear, “you’ve made me the happiest person alive.”
