Work Text:
"...How long is this supposed to take?"
Ena crossed her arms and sighed as she looked down at Mizuki. She was currently wearing a pattern Mizuki was working on! Mizuki had their glasses on and everything as they pinned it.
"Stay still! Moving one inch could ruin everything." Mizuki snapped back as they didn't take their eyes off of the skirt. Mizuki fixed their glasses and leaned in close to pin things EXACTLY.
"Also, I have to get this done by next Friday or else I won't get a grade on it! The teacher also said that if we get a perfect score, our work could be submitted to the Spring Runway next year! I am not letting that opportunity down." Mizuki took a step back and looked at the skirt in its full length. They hummed and sighed.
"It's already Thursday. I should be sewing this by now." Mizuki took off their glasses and threw them onto the desk. They had Ena take off the pattern and placed it gently onto their sewing table. "I still have so much work to do." Ena noticed the way Mizuki's demeanor changed and decided to do something about it.
"Hey don't stress about it. That'll just make things worse. I know how you are when you're stressed with work. You rush it and you're disappointed with the results." Ena sighed as she smiled. She sat on the edge of Mizuki's bed. She patted the spot next to her and spoke softly.
"Come on, let's relax a bit." Mizuki blushed as they shyly walked over to Ena and sat down next to her. Ena. They scooted closer and eventually laid their head down on Ena's shoulder. "It feels nice to have you here for Christmas. I was sure I was going to spend it alone since my family is in the US with my big sis."
"It feels nice to be with you too." Ena wrapped an arm around Mizuki. She closed her eyes and smiled while running her fingers through their long pink curls. Mizuki also noticed Ena's hair. Ena's hair had already reached her shoulders...it felt crazy. Mizuki remembered how short Ena's hair used to be.
"It's almost midnight. Christmas is just a few minutes away." Mizuki was broken out of their trance. They looked over at their clock and realized it was 11:50pm. Only 10 minutes till Christmas. "Yeah... you're right."
The two sat quietly for those remaining 10 minutes.
Mizuki was over at Ena's family home to spend Christmas with them earlier. They had fun having a Christmas Eve dinner and opening presents. Ena went home with Mizuki to their apartment and they stayed there. They had some cake on the floor table to eat later if they were hungry again. It was...just them.
Ena looked over at the clock again. It was now officially midnight.
"Merry Christmas, Mizuki. I love you." Ena smiled as she pressed a kiss to Mizuki's cheek. Mizuki was caught off guard as they blushed intensely. They laughed and started to hold hands with Ena. "I love you more." Mizuki instead pressed a kiss to Ena's lips, which Ena accepted of course.
"I can't wait for the future." Mizuki looked at the ring on Ena's left hand as they held it. Ena smiled as she looked at the cake on the floor table.
"Me too. Getting proposed to was the best Christmas gift ever."
Mizuki giggled. They gave Ena a grand hug and sighed contently. They had proposed to Ena about a week ago already. It felt like months ago, but it was last week. What's with time flying these days?
"So, now that you got me a great gift, what should I give in return?" Mizuki thought about it. What did they want in return? They weren't sure if there was anything better than a proposal as a gift.
Well...who knows.
"An awesome wife is what I want."
