Sonata
If she were to be asked, Minako Aino would have to say she didn’t have much of an opinion on the subject of birthdays. This was probably because, in her past two lives, she hadn’t lived to see that many. On top of that she had been alone for most of the ones that she did recall, so it didn’t give her much incentive to be excited about them in general.
So when her lover, Zoisite, asked her what she’d wanted for her upcoming 21st (a feat within itself; in previous lives she hadn’t reached past 15), she couldn’t really come up with a proper answer.
“I haven’t really given it much thought,” she admitted sipping at her tea with a shrug.
“You don’t know what you want for your birthday?” Zoisite’s eyebrows furrowed and he got a concerned look on his handsome face.
Minako laughed it off. “It’s fine, Zoi…it’s just a day like any other.”
“It’s the day you were brought into the world, my love,” he shook his head adamantly. “As far as I’m concerned, it needs celebrating.”
“ Well…then surprise me,” she said, a lovely smile gracing her lips. “You’re good at that.”
The gleam instantly returned to his blue eyes and he nodded happily.
The morning of October 22nd, Minako was woken by a pair of soft lips brushing against her ear and a silky, shiver-inducing voice whispering: “Happy Birthday.”
Biting back a moan, she twisted in the sheets and opened her eyes to find Zoisite leaning casually on one elbow, his silver hair pulled back into a loose ponytail, wearing a blue shirt that matched his eyes and was unbuttoned sexily at the throat. There was a sultry smile on his face and he was easily the most beautiful thing Minako had ever laid eyes on.
She grinned. “Is that today?”
Chuckling, he grabbed her and she shrieked when he pinned her back against the bed and greeted her properly with a passionate kiss.
Pleasant sparks shot up her spine, and she curled her arms around him to keep him close as the kiss deepened drastically, tongues meeting and dancing as he settled comfortably against her.
Finally, he pulled back to give her air and caressed her cheek sweetly. “I love you Mina…”
“I love you too,” she returned, feeling like she was floating still after that amazing kiss.
He grinned and dipped his head down for another quick kiss before flinging the sheets back and making her shriek with laughter again as, without so much as a warning, he scooped her into his arms and carried her out from her bedroom. “Come on, I’ve got an entire day planned.”
Snuggling close, she rested her head in the crook of his shoulder and allowed him to sweep her off her feet.
Breakfast was her favorite pancakes topped with strawberries and whipped cream, prepared by her beloved boyfriend and served with flourish. It was always a joy to see Zoi giving in to his more playful side. It was something that was rarely shown to anyone but her, and she couldn’t help her smug feelings about him being hers alone.
Then, after they finished eating and he distracted her like crazy in the shower, they left Mina’s apartment to spend the day together.
They did all the things she loved most. First was a visit to the aquarium, where she cooed over the penguins and he ended up getting her an adorable plush of one. After that they headed to the amusement park, and rode all their favorite rides before grabbing some ice cream and winding down the afternoon by sitting on a bench while they ate it.
Minako looked over at Zoisite, smiling after she had finished her dessert. “This has been the best birthday ever,” she rested her head against his shoulder with a happy sigh.
Zoi chuckled. “It’s not over yet.”
“There’s more?” she looked up at him with surprised eyes and his laughter increased.
“This day is about you,” he explained. “And besides, I still haven’t given you my actual present.”
She turned into his arms and wrapped hers around his neck. “The best present you could give me is being here. With me.”
His eyes reflected the love he felt for her and he cupped her chin before kissing her tenderly. “I love being here.”
She sighed and pressed closer.
Finally, after a delicious dinner, they made their way back to Minako’s apartment. She leaned back against the door. “So I take it my present is hidden inside somewhere?”
Zoisite chuckled and nodded. “You could say that…come on,” he lead her inside and the first thing that caught her eye was a new addition to her living room.
Her eyebrows arched. “You got me a piano?”
“ Sort of,” he laughed. “It’s more than that…” and then he glided across the room and sat at the bench, patting the space next to him invitingly. “A little more personal…”
Minako saw that there was sheet music sitting in front of them and recognized his elegant writing.
Her hand flew to her heart. “You…you wrote me a song?”
“A sonata,” he explained, long fingers posing over the keys. “The melody of my feelings for you…”
Her heart was beating a hundred miles a minute by this point, and it picked up when he started to play.
The music he had created was so utterly beautiful, and she quickly became lost in it: the way she could become lost in him.
After a while she began to hum along, which made Zoisite smile warmly.
Together, their joined melodies filled the room, evidence of their emotions towards one another.
Finally, he concluded the song and looked over at his love, pulling a small velvet box out from his shirt and presenting it to her. “And to end the perfect evening.”
Her breathing grew shallow and she felt like her heart was about to jump out of her chest. She looked up at him with wide eyes after she opened it. “Zoi…”
He took her hands in his and knelt at her feet before saying the words that she couldn’t believe were being directed at her. “Minako…will you marry me?”
Her answer was to leap into his arms and send them both crashing to the floor as she kissed him madly.
Zoisite chuckled lowly against her mouth as they kissed. “Is that a yes?”
“What do you think?” she pulled back, her eyes glinting at him.
He smiled and slid the ring on her finger before pulling her back for a romantic kiss.
The next morning, Minako was woken by a strong arm tightening around her, and a leanly muscular body pressing against her as a kiss was dropped onto her bare shoulder.
Twisting into Zoisite’s arms, she smiled up at him, taking in his bed-mussed silver hair, down and tangled around his shoulders, and reveling in the feeling of his warm skin against hers as she became lost in the pure love in his eyes.
“Just in case there were any doubts, that was definitely a yes.”
He just laughed and leaned down to claim her mouth with his.
Minako now had a very positive opinion on birthdays.
