All I ask for is Forever

Keisko's danced around her home cleaning her voice flowed with the music as she cleaned to the beat of the song. She slid on her socks down the hallway to the bathroom, twirling, singing, dancing and cleaning the place till it sparkled like diamonds. Once she was satisfied with that room she slid out of the room doing the moonwalk to the kitchen to grab the broom and start her sweeping. The music on the radio was so loud that she didn't notice the knock at her door or it opening. She couldn't see her front door from the living room.

She was dancing around while sweeping with the broom, when she did a spin around, sweeping her pile all together, she noticed him standing there. She squeaked in surprise, nearly falling onto the floor. He chuckled and walked over to the radio, turning it down slightly where he could talk.

"Well don't you look adorable Keis'." He commented with a chuckle causing her to blush.

"Matsuda, what are you doing here?!" she exclaimed, feeling slightly self-conscious. She was standing there in nothing but a black cami, black short shorts, and long knee length purple polka dot socks.

He raised an eyebrow and smirked. "Why I came to see you of course! I did knock if that's what you're wondering. You had the music too loud." He chuckled and walked up to her with large smile.

Keisko returned the smile and laid the broom down on the couch before jumping into Matsuda's arms hugging him tightly. He continued to hold her as she wrapped her legs around his waist and put her arms around his neck. "You caught me while I was cleaning… I do it at least once a week. It's my relax and get things done ritual." She shrugged slightly with a smile. "Though I don't mind a distraction, I was almost done anyways. I was just finishing up sweeping all the dust from the fans when I dusted earlier."

He laughed and ruffled her pony tail. "Well, I say let's finish this!" He kissed her on the nose and set her down softly. "Got another broom? I start on the kitchen."  She giggled and pointed to the pantry. He turned the music back up and grabbed the broom starting to sweep her kitchen while she finished up the living room. Keisko got back into her groove and was singing and dancing again, hearing a chuckle every once and a while from Matsuda.

They finished quickly and put away all the supplies she'd used cleaning that day. Matsuda started to turn off the music but Keisko pulled him by the hand back to the living room. She then started to dance with him. The two of them twirled and swung around her living room before finally getting dizzy and collapsing on the couch both laughing hysterically while trying to catch their breath.

"Who knew cleaning could be so fun!" Matsuda exclaimed laughing and hugging Keisko to his side on her couch.

Keisko snuggled up to his side. "That my dear, is because you've never cleaned house with me. If you can't have fun while doing something, then why do it? Plus, I hate things being boring and a chore… So I sing and dance while doing it, great workout as well."

Matsuda chuckled and shook his head. "Only you could have fun while spring cleaning." He kissed her forehead. "Now, I don't know about you but, I've worked up an appetite while working oh so hard." He winked and stood up, picking up Keisko and throwing her over his shoulder. She giggled as he carried her to the kitchen and sat her on the countertop. "What would you like my lady?" he asked opening her cabinets and browsing.

Keisko sat atop the counter kicking her socked feet and grinning at Matsuda. She was admiring the way he seemed to just think of her home as his as well. He glanced over at her and raised an eyebrow. "What are you smiling about?" he asked with a smile of his own.

She shrugged smiling more. "I'm just admiring the view." She commented causing Matsuda to flush a shade of pink which Keisko found adorable. "How about we have sandwiches and we can make a backyard picnic out of it?" she asked.

Matsuda's face lit up. "That sounds great! I'll make the sandwiches if you get the blanket and basket." Keisko nodded and hopped down with a smile, standing on her tippy toes to kiss his cheek before running out of sight to the closet. Matsuda continued to find the bread and sandwich meat as well as chips and canned drinks. He was nervous when he'd first came over, but after dancing and cleaning with Keisko, his nerves faded and he was ready for what he was planning.

Matsuda smiled as Keisko skipped up to his side holding a perfect picnic basket open and a blanket draped over her shoulder. He tucked in the food and drinks neatly into the basket and took it from her. She grabbed his hand and tugged Matsu' out her back door and to the little shade tree in the corner of her backyard. She laid out the blanket then sat down on it looking up at Matsuda. He chuckled and placed the basket down on the blanket before sitting down himself.

They sat and ate their lunch while talking about silly things, laughing and just enjoying each other's company. Keisko laid her head in Matsuda's lap as he played with her pony tail listening to stories of when she was little. It was a picture perfect moment.
The sun gradually went down and Keisko was getting cold in her shorts and cami so she sat up to go in the house. "Come on you. Let's go watch a movie or something." She said kissing his lips lightly before standing up. She stood there and looked down at him with a broad smile.

"You know I love you right?" He asked smiling at her. Her smile grew as she leaned down and kissed his forehead lightly.

"Yes Matsu', and I love you." She replied smiling widely. Matsuda took that as a confirmation and proceeded to get up on his knee.

He took her hand and kissed it while reaching in his pocket and pulling out the black velvet box. He looked up in her eyes as she saw the box. She gasped stunned and looked down at him. "Keis', you've been the light of my world. You brought me back from being the dark and empty man I used to be. All I ask for is forever. I love you more than I ever thought possible and would be honored for you to be my wife. Keisko Lynn Azuma, will you marry me?" He then proceeded to open the little black velvet box. Her eyes widened considerably.

Tears gathered in her eyes and started to fill up. Slowly as she regained the ability to move, she smiled and nodded. "Yes, yes, I'll marry you." She cried laughing happily. Matsuda took the simple but perfect little ring out of the box and slipped it on her finger then stood up as she just about knocked him over throwing herself into his arms. He laughed happily and spun her around in circles before placing her back on her feet and taking her face in his hands, kissing her till they were both breathless. Their smiles could stretch for miles.

Keisko and Matsuda then made their way their way into the house with their things. They were the happiest they'd ever felt and couldn't wait for whatever awaited in their future. They knew that they would always be together.
