You didn't see Giyuu at all the rest of the week until the Saturday before you left, when your mother had planned a little dinner party with some family and friends.

You had slipped on a short white summer dress, perfect for the evening.

You were sitting your room, touching up your hair and makeup, when Giyuu stopped in your doorway.

"You look gorgeous, Y/n, my god,"

"When did you get here?"

"Just now, " he said, eyes scanning your figure before walking towards you and wrapping his arms around you.

He placed a soft series of kisses, from your temple down to your collarbone.

He sat himself down on your bed, eyes shifting down your body as you finished getting ready.

"What?" You spoke, turning your neck to look back at him, a slightly playfully smirk tugging at the corner of your lips.

"Don't mind me, love," he ran a hand through his hair.

You shook your head playfully as you applied some lip gloss.

He got up and pressed a soft kiss to your cheek. "I'm gonna go see if your mum needs any help with anything,"

For once, you were actually excited for something like this, maybe its because it was under different circumstances, but you weren't anxious about it whatsoever.

You waltzed into the living room and spotted lots of familiar faces. A few aunts and uncles and your grandma, as well as a couple of your mum's close friends and their kids.

You offered everyone drinks, and as you opened the cupboard to take out some glasses, Giyuu appeared behind you, reaching above your head to do the same thing.

"Hey," he whispered into your ear so as not to draw too much attention.

"Hi," you responded, smiling.

"They keep asking me a bunch of questions about us, so I came over here,"

Us.

"I'm not surprised, I don't think anyone expected it," you poured a few glass of elderflower wine before walking over to where your family were sitting.

"You're a doll, thank you," your grandma thanked you.

"It's fine, grandma, I promise," you gave her a hug.

"So," she started talking again. "You and Giyuu?"

You weren't too sure what to say but turned your head and caught a glimpse of him with his mother.

"Does he make you happy?"

"So happy," you gushed.

"Well, if you're happy, I'm happy, but if he pulls any crap like when you were kids, I have a shovel and rake in my backgarden,"

You almost snorted.

"He's not like that anymore, I promise,"

"Good," she smiled. "Now, where's that daughter of mine she's been avoiding me all evening,"

Your mouth curved into another smile minutes before Giyuu joined you where you were standing.

"Your grandma just threatened me with a shovel, but I think she approves," he draped an arm over your shoulder.

You leant into him a little, to which he pressed a quick kiss on your head.

"Can you two lovebirds give me a hand with dinner, please?" Your mother called from the other side of the kitchen.

You meandered through the clusters of people, soon standing where she was.

"It's almost ready. If you could just set the table, that would be great,"

You leant down and got out the required number of plates and other relevant cutlery.

"I'll take the plates, love, don't worry,"

"Thank you," you said, as he took them from your arms.

-

It didn't take long for dinner to be served, and before you knew it, you and many others were squeezed around your childhood dining table.

Giyuu's hand rested on your thigh under the table, occasionally giving it a reassuring squeeze.

As more chatter arose, Giyuu whispered into your ear.

"What do you say we leave and take a detour? I'm getting kinda bored listening to them talk about boring stuff, "

"Giyuu, how the fuck are we gonna leave this table unnoticed, we've been hounded with questions the entire night,"

"Watch and learn pretty girl,"

He took his phone out and began typing something, and a few seconds later his mother's phone buzzed.

She made eye contact with her son before typing something back.

"Alright, let's go," he mumbled, taking your hand, and heading off towards the door.

"That wasn't very unnoticed Giyuu," you finally said, as you turned a corner.

"I told my mum to tell them we're getting ice cream,"

"Well are we getting ice cream?"

"That depends Y/n, do you want ice cream?"

"I mean..."

"Y/n."

"What! It's just ice cream," you shrugged.

"I guess, but I still have to give you the gift I got you,"

"You got me a present?" your eyes lit up, and you stopped in your tracks.

"Yes...? It's back at the house though so we need- "

You cut him off with a kiss.

"Thank you," you mumbled against him.

"Pleasures all mine,"

-

Knowing your hometown so well meant it didn't take long to get to Giyuu's house, but when you did arrive, he told you to wait outside.

"I'll give it to you when we get to the top of that hill,"

Your eyes followed to where he was pointing.

"How the flip flops are we making it all the way up there," You raised an eyebrow.

"I know a way,"

-

"That was not just a way. That was the equivalent to a 20-mile hike." you said after making it to the top.

"You're being dramatic, sweetheart. Besides, isn't it worth it," he turned around.

Your jaw dropped as your gaze shifted to the view in front of you.

Sunsets had always been one of your favourite things. But for some reason, seeing this one made you fall in love with them even more.

"It's gorgeous, Giyuu, my god,"

"I used to come here a lot in high school. It was always so peaceful in the evening," he interwined your fingers

"This is for you," he handed you a small velvet box.

You opened it and were met with a necklace.

Attached to it?

A charm with your favourite painting from the art show in April.

You weren't sure what to say, so you launched yourself in your arms.

"Do you like it?"

"I love it. So much. Thank you so much, my love,"

"I'm glad you like it,"

You pressed a long, lingering kiss to his lips before staring back out at the view in front of you.

The sun was setting more by the minute, and as you finally watched it disappear, you realised:

Everything was perfect.

So perfect.

And you wouldn't have it any other way.
