She almost rolled her eyes the moment she saw him waiting at the gates. He waved his hand and when he was about to get her things, Sho appeared out of nowhere and pulled her away. Ryo quickly caught her wrist and pulled her back. His face was so serious and she doesn't know if he is mad. She decided to pull herself away from the two men and little did she know, Yuhi was just behind them and watching the whole situation.
"Stop. Just stop. I will go home alone." She grabbed her things and walked away from them. Ryoji decided not to follow her because he has been living for two centuries already and he already knows every kind of woman.
"You like Fuyu, don't you? If you really like her, why didn't you ask her to be your girlfriend?" Ryo suddenly asked the older one. Sho glared at him but his shoulders fell down after realizing that he had lost his chance already.
"If you're her boyfriend, why are you not chasing her? Go after her. She may have told you that she will go home alone but she still wants you to be there for her." He answered instead. Ryo just stood there and stared at him as if he was waiting for Sho to do it for him instead.
"Are you deaf? Don't you care about your girlfriend? She is waiting for you." Sho almost shouted. He raised a brow before completely leaving the premises. His track sped up until he found her sitting at the side while hugging her knees.
"Fuyu." He squatted down and tried to pat her head but she slapped his hand away. He grabbed her things instead and then, he carried her in his arms. She squeaked softly and then, she was forced to wrap her arms around his neck or else, she might fall.
"You're not my boyfriend. I don't even know your name." She whispered while staring at him. He stopped walking for a while and then, he carefully put her down. The silence was deafening. He leaned down his face and placed a soft long kiss on her lips.
"I'm Sugiyama Ryo. I'm your boyfriend and the only man in your life." He whispered against her lips. She slowly nodded, mesmerized by everything he did. He kissed her once again and then, he pulled her closer to settle her in his arms.

"I'm Ryo, the only man that you will love in every lifetime." He gently caressed her face and she stared lovingly at him. She held his hand and placed it on her cheeks before sighing in relief. He was on the verge of tears while watching her have her last breath.
"In every lifetime, I know we will see each other again and every time it happens, I will fall in love with you again and again and again and again.." Tears finally fell from his eyes and he kissed her forehead. She smiled faintly and she whispered to him how much she loved him before completely closing her eyes.

"I will show you where I live." He said and she smiled while nodding. He held her hand gently while they were walking back home. She started sharing to him what happened the whole day at the university and he was just listening to her attentively.
"I don't have work that day, so I can go to your event." He said when they finally arrived at the mansion. Her eyes wandered as she was surprised that he was living there. It is one of the oldest and largest mansions around the place and she didn't know that he owns it.
"This is yours?" She asked and he nodded. He opened the doors with the keys and then, he effortlessly opened it even though it was heavy and huge. She found the receiving hall empty. She thought that it would be like those mansions she watched from the television shows.
"My parents passed away and left me a huge inheritance including this mansion. It is a little empty but we can buy furniture if you want to decorate it. You will also have your own room here since you're my girlfriend. I will not force you to stay here but I would be happier if you would stay with me." He said and he brought her to the living room. She sat on the couch while chuckling softly. It was her first time to sit on something so fluffy.
"Do you want to go to the supermarket with me? It is Saturday tomorrow and I know you don't have classes. Let's buy everything." He asked and she nodded. It was her first time to have a boyfriend, so she didn't know what she would do.
"You have a huge place but you're alone here. Why don't you invite your friends here?" She asked and then, they heard the doorbell ringing. He went back to the main door to see who just arrived and she followed. She saw two men talking and she was surprised that one of them was Yuhi.
"They are my friends, Higa and Yuhi." Ryo introduced them and they smiled playfully. Yuhi was able to witness everything that happened earlier, so he was telling Higa about it. It was already dark outside, so it was fine for Higa to lurk around.
"It is so nice to meet you, Fuyu. Finally, our friend got a girlfriend." Higa said while grinning widely. She narrowed her eyes, suspecting that the trio were just playing with her. Yuhi urged them to go inside and she puffed her cheeks, realizing that the younger one didn't tell her anything about their friendship.
"Are you mad? Don't get mad. You didn't ask me anything about it." The younger one laughed softly and she just frowned at him. When they arrived back to the living room, she excused herself to go to the kitchen and prepare some snacks and drinks.
She slowly stopped from walking when she realized that Ryo never told her where the kitchen was and yet, she was able to go there without getting lost. She looked around and saw that the hallways were dark. Instead of feeling scared, she felt everything familiar. She let her feet move on their own and she arrived at the study hall. She silently opened the huge doors and she was welcomed with hundreds of books sitting on every part of it.

Wearing a black flowery kimono, she swiftly walked in the study hall to surprise her husband. He was busy reading a novel when she covered his eyes from behind. He let out a gentle laugh and held her hands to leave tiny kisses on the back of it instead. She wrapped her arms around him and placed a kiss on top of his head. She wanted to tell him that she was carrying their first child.
"Ryo, I'm pregnant." She softly whispered to his ear and he immediately stood up from his seat to check on her. Indeed, her belly was getting large. He knelt in front of her and she smiled while caressing his head.
