Oh I am always happy to dream of my favorite characters!
“Having fun?” Hide asks his girlfriend as he re-emerges on the balcony of his apartment.
It’s a chilly evening in Tokyo, and they’ve been cuddling under a blanket while sipping wine. He returns with two home-made hamburgers.
“Yes, of course.” His girlfriend is perceptive enough to recognize that he is nervous, but why, she doesn’t know.
She holds out the burger and taps it against his. A toast, of sorts.
They both take a bite. Hide’s is tiny, due to his scars.
And hers is tiny, too, because halfway through her teeth hit something metal. “Huh?”
She pulls back and examines the burger.
Hide blushes as she pulls out a lovely diamond ring.
“W – what?” she stammers, her heart racing.
Hide kneels before her. She’s never looked at him differently for his scars. She’s never judged him. He loves her so very much. His voice comes out higher-pitched than he anticipated. “[Name], would you marry me?”
She gasps. Tears begin to leak down her cheeks – and she’s certainly not a crier. “Yes.”
Hide is about to slide the ring onto her finger when he is interrupted by her lips pressed against his mouth.
