New year's eve was upon everyone. Shiyue, Kenri, Inori, and even Shiken were going to have a small party to celebrate. It wasn't much. Just your basic party and stay up till midnight sort of thing. Of course, Shiken wasn't going to stay up till midnight. At least, that's what Shiyue thought.
"Daddy! I wanna stay up like everyone else!" pouted Shiken.
"Shiken, you need your sleep! Not all the kindergardeners are staying up! As a matter of fact, none of them are. You wouldn't want to be unfair, would you?"
"No, but daddy, I-"
"No buts. You are coming to the party, but are not staying up. That's final."
"PLEASE!!!!!" shouted Shiken. "I WANNA STAY UP!!!"
"It won't matter if I let you. You're too young. You won't stay awake past eight o' clock."
"Then I'll drink that coffee stuff you and Kenri and Inori drink."
"You are definately not drinking coffee."
"Then I'll eat candy."
"You still won't end up awake. Plus you'll get a cavity or two."
"Then I'll use magic."
"If you do that, I'll bind your powers until you're twenty one."
Shiken gasped. "You can't! You wouldn't!"
"I can and I will. Now no more discussion over this." said Shiyue as he stepped on the gas pedal and continued driving to Kenri's house where the party was being held.
"You don't love me any more!!!" cried Shiken. "WAAAHHHHH!!!! DADDY DOESN'T LOVE ME!!!!"
Shiyue pulled the car over and stopped it. "Shiken, I still love you. It's the fact that I love you that I don't want you staying up so late so young!"
Shiken sniffled. "But daddy! I wanna stay up!"
Shiyue sighed. "Okay, you can try to stay up. But if you fall asleep, it isn't my fault. Okay?"
"Okay!"
"Good, now can I continue driving?"
"Yes daddy."
Shiyue got back on the road and continued the way to Kenri's. Meanwhile Kenri was pacing the floor in his room holding something in his hand and muttering.
"Shiyue I love you. Marry me. No no too forceful... Shiyue, please marry me? No too straight forward... Shiyue, words can not express how much I love you. Maybe this will. Will you marry me? NO! Too lovey dovey! DARN IT!!!! HOW THE HECK AM I SUPPOSED TO PROPOSE!!!"
"I suggest more quietly." said Inori as he stood in the doorway of Kenri's room.
Kenri turned around to face him and blushed. "Eh, sorry you had to hear that."
"I'm okay with it. Just be thankful your proposal surprise isn't spoiled by Shiyue being here right now."
"Thank god."
"But with how loud you were shouting, I'm surprised him and people half way around the world don't know."
Kenri glared at him. "Did you come here to help or make fun of me?"
Inori gave him a thoughtful gaze. "Maybe both."
"I'll just take the help thanks."
"Okay. If you really want to sweep Shiyue off his feet and get him to say yes..."
"What is it! What do I have to do?"
"Tell him how much you love him and then ask him."
"That simple?"
"No. You have to buy him a ton a roses and chocolate, proclaim your love to the world, then he'll say yes."
"Okay. I how many roses in a ton?"
Inori laughed. "I'm only kidding. A few roses and a box of chocolate will get Shiyue all romantic. Then just propose. He won't say no."
Kenri glared at him. "And you know this how?"
"I've been around Shiyue for a long time. Of course I'd know this stuff."
"Fine, get the decorations and stuff. I'll go out and buy everything. Plus some wine. Maybe if I get him drunk, he'll say yes faster." said Kenri thoughtfully.
"If you get him drunk, you'll only get him horny or something. That or he'll answer slower. Trust me. I know. One time I followed him into a bar. He had a couple of drinks and then tried to seduce me. Didn't work." sighed Inori.
"Fine. I can live with that." said Kenri with a wicked grin.
"You are not going to do that while Shiken is in the house. Asleep or awake." said Inori sternly.
"Hey! My house, my rules!"
"My friend's kid, my over protective rules."
"Whatever. I don't have time for this. I have shopping to do." said Kenri before he stormed out of the room.
While Kenri was away, Shiyue and Shiken arived.
"Hey Inori." said Shiyue as he entered.
"Hi Inori!" shouted Shiken as he bounced in and tackled Inori. "Did ya' miss me?"
"Um, sure! Who wouldn't miss you Shiken?" said Inori
Shiken got off Inori and ran off to his toy room in Kenri's house. Shiken's toy collection was so extensive, he had some in Kenri's house, some in Shiyue's house, and some in Inori's house now.
"What do you feed that kid?" said Inori as he got up and dusted himself off. "I swear he's gettin strong for a five year old."
"Eh, nothing but regular food. Shiken likes his training now that he knows what it is. He's been practicing whenever he can. He even tried to at school on some of his classmates. That got me a parent teacher confrence." sighed Shiyue. "He needs to learn self control for sure."
"That's true."
"Where's Kenri?"
"He just went out to pick up a few things. Nothing big."
"Kay. I'm going to go keep and eye on Shiken. Call me down when he gets here." said Shiyue before he ran off to find Shiken.
Inori smirked and went off to continue decorating the room in new year stuff. Fifteen minutes later, Kenri arived with a boquet of roses and a large rectangular box of chocolate. "Is Shiyue here yet?"
Inori turned away from his decorating to answer Kenri. "Yeah, he's here. You might want to hide that stuff until you're going to propose. Go hide it and I'll call Shiyue down."
Kenri ran off to hide his goods as Inori called Shiyue down. Shiyue ran to the stairs and jumped down from the railing on the second floor. He landed safely without a sound.
"Kenri's here?"
"Yeah, just in there." said Inori pointing in the direction of the kitchen.
Shiyue walked in to see Kenri just finishing his business with a cabinet. He snuck up on him and glomped him.
"Hi."
"Hi..."
Shiyue leaned his head down and gave Kenri a kiss. "Where ya' been?"
"Just out to pick up a few things. Nothing big."
"Kay." said Shiyue as he got off Kenri. "So, when are we going to start?"
"We'll have dinner at eight and then watch t.v. until midnight. Sounds good to me."
"Then what was the point of decorating?"
"Just for the hell of it."
"Ooohhhhh."
Kenri looked at him. "You're bored aren't you."
"Very."
"Well I would do something, but Inori doesn't want me to seeing as Shiken's here."
"And what would that be?"
"Guess."
"Um something that involves you, me, and a bed?"
"Yup."
"You're right. We're not going to do that as long as Shiken's here."
Kenri groaned. "Fine."
Eight o' clock soon came. Shiken was still awake as a matter of fact. He didn't even use magic. Dinner was served right on time and still hot. It was turkey, baked potato, and rice. Not much, but it tasted good. After that, desert was simply some ice cream. Shiken ate a ton dispite Shiyue's pleads and then was bouncing around all over the place shouting "Happy New Year" in Chinese at the top of his lungs. From there, they migrated into the decorated living room and sat down to watch all the anime marathons on the anime channel. Shiyue was definately pleased. That continued until around eleven. Shiken was surpringly still awake and bouncing all over. They switched over to see the new year's eve stuff on one of the news channels.
"Why do they bother with these stupid marathons? The only good ones are either anime or some other cartoon." said Shiyue who was bored.
"You only say that because you like anime a ton." said Kenri.
"I thought you like it too."
"I do. Not just in the overly obsessive way you do."
"Quiet. There's only three minutes to midnight." said Shiyue.
"Three minutes? I'll be back in a minute." said Kenri as he ran off.
"Hurry up!"
Kenri rushed back. Chocolates, roses, and ring. He pulled Shiyue up off the couch and kneeled on his knee but not before giving Shiyue the roses and chocolate.
"Wha... What's this for?" asked Shiyue.
"Shiyue, I love you more than life itself. Nothing could ever change that, so, I want to spend my life with you forever. So Shiyue, will you marry me?"
"Count down's starting!" said Inori.
"10, 9, 8..."
"I-I-I..."
"7, 6, 5..."
"I..."
"4..."
"I..."
"3..."
"I..."
"2..."
"Yes, I will marry you."
"1! 0! Happy New Year!!!"
At that moment, Kenri pulled Shiyue into a kiss and put the ring on his finger. From that moment on, Shiyue and Kenri got their happily ever after. No fears, no worries, and no problems from demons.
*sniff* Such a happy ending. This is the end of all my stories with Shiyue and Kenri as the main focus. They'll still play a part however in the "continuation" of this story. I say continuation because I'm using this dimension/universe of the Shiyue and Kenri thing for Shiken. That's right. The continuation is about a grown up Shiken in this dimension/universe and how falls in love. The title is going to be Duties of Life or Love. Not bad, right? Okay. Review and I'll try to get the Shiken story out soon.
