Your boyfriend Ushijima was always a gentle soul. He looked scary but you don't think he’d hurt a fly. A romantic isn't the word you'd use to describe him. Though he always surprised you, it was never to be romantic. It was a nice reminder he was there during long training camps. You did travel with him but him being gone for most the day was lonely. So on his day off, he recommend a date.
You were over the moon! A day out with your all star boyfriend was a dream come true. Most the time he did something like dinner or a stay-in night with a movie. But as he walked into your home that night, he saw you there upset. He knew what the date had to be. The gentle giant walked over to you and held you tight no words shared just being in his arms, not minding he was sweaty from a day of training. He didn't even ask what was up cause he knew he could always read you like a book.
He picked you up bridle style bringing you to the bedroom. Letting go of you for a second to set you down and take off his jersey. But he came right back to hold you. His heart beat was always calming even after a long day you can still smell his cologne cider wood with hints of mint. He held you close till you fell asleep never speaking a word.
The next day was something you could only describe as unforgettable. Your boyfriend suggested to go to a sunflower field for the date. You happily agreed, seeing you smile again was all Ushijima needed to know he made the right decision. A car ride to the field full of you two sharing old memories. Singing a bit he noticed one of the songs you put on. Which made his idea of what upset you last night true. He hoped today would help change your worries as he listens to you singing. ~But I'm a sunflower, a little funny If I was a rose, maybe you'd pick me~ He looks at you noticing you weakly smile back at him. He grabs your hand reminding you that he loves you very much which you simply respond that you love him too.
~This sunflower's waiting for you Waiting for you~
To him, the car ride felt like forever but to you, it felt nice seeing him relaxed and enjoying his company. A little while after looking at the flowers and getting pictures for memories. You notice your normally very on point boyfriend is a little distracted by something. You didn't think much of it until, you see him reach into his pocket, getting on one knee. Asking you the question everyone waits to hear from the person you've dated so long. You quickly hug him tearing up. He knew your answer from day one but to hear you say yes made this his heart swell will joy.
“Don't worry anymore honey, I'm not going away where, I'll always be there for you even if you can't be with me. I love you." The words helped melt the worries that still lingered from last night.
