It was the night of the send off party for Inazuma Japan. Momoka Yui would of course, take part, as she was a member of the team as well. As soon as the boys were pushed into the changing rooms to dress up for the fancy night, Yui, was dragged by the girls into the girl's dressing room. The competitive soccer girl absolutely hated wearing dresses or skirts. She was always polite and ladylike, very rarely raising her voice or being so vocal, but as soon as the girls pulled out a forest green dress, the girl began screeching like a wild pterodactyl.
Nosaka, who was in the boy's dressing room nearby, heard the ear-piercing, panicked screeching of his girlfriend. He couldn't help but chuckle. "Nosaka-san, your girlfriend could be enduring some form of torture right now, why are you laughing?!" Asuto exclaimed in worry as he buttoned up his tuxedo. "He's right, that scream sounded like Momoka-san." Hikaru added to Asuto's previous statement. Nosaka merely smirked as he finished fixing his pink tie. "I have absolute faith that Yui will be able to handle things. She's a strong person after all." Nosaka smiled fondly. He grabbed a velvet ring box from his bag and opened it. Inside, was a shining, golden ring that glinted in the light.
The boys who took notice immediately had their jaws drop to the floor. "That- that's a really pretty ring, Nosaka-san! Are you giving it to Momoka-san?" Asuto smiled, leaning his face towards the box so he could get a better look. The second and third years couldn't help but smile. "Well, isn't that romantic." Kidou smiled as he rested his hand on his hip. Huffing in amusement, Nosaka closed the box and tucked it inside his pocket. "It's a promise ring, and yes, I do plan to give it to Yui during the party." Nosaka smiled. He gripped the box tighter as his hands began to feel cold. 'Am I moving too fast? Yui has so much to do, is giving her this promise ring the right thing to do?' The thought of it ran through Nosaka's mind like a broken record.
He loved Yui, with all his heart, and he wanted her to know that. The promise ring was there to symbolize it. But maybe, she wasn't ready for something so serious. Yui valued her freedom more than anything, maybe she wasn't ready to be tied down to a relationship just yet. Before Nosaka even knew what was happening, the hour of the send off party was near.

An entire grand cruise ship was reserved entirely for the Inazuma Japan send off party. Elegant designs were all over the entire place, and a grand and golden chandelier hung from the ceiling. Beautiful Renaissance and Romantic era paintings decorated the walls of the ship, and tables lined with delicious foods were scattered in an eye-pleasing way throughout the ballroom. The center was completely empty, and only a red carpet was there. That must be a dance floor. A few important people in the soccer organization were there, mingling and chatting amongst themselves as they waited for the party to start. The team of boys were awe struck at the fanciness and elegance of the party itself.
Although Endou and Asuto were more interested in the banquet. "I really don't feel comfortable wearing this.." Goujin groaned, looking down at his fancy get up. "I guess even a caveman can look decent with the right clothes." Angered by those words, Goujin looked up the stairs, where the voice came from, but as soon as his eyes landed on the figure, all the words became stuck in his throat. Standing at the rop of the stairs were the managers of the team, all dolled up and pretty. Anna lead the girls down with a confident stride in her steps. Aki followed behind, embarrassed. But what really caught the team's attention was the girl who came in last. Momoka Yuo stood at the very top of the stairs, her arms crossed, and a neutral look on her face as she looked down upon the sea of eyes that were gawking at her.
Unlike the other girls who wore dresses or skirts, she wore an elegant jumpsuit made out of silk. The sleeves were puffed out, but the cuffs that wrapped around her wrists tied the sleeves together. She wore brown open toe heels, and her brown hair was held back by a yellow hairband with floral designs, and golden hoop earrings hung from her ears. Her nails were painted in pine green, and her face had simplistic green makeup.
The girls all walked down the stairs, and Yui, who the team knew as the girl who hated high heels, dresses, skirts, and make up, absolutely rocked her fancy party look. As she neared the bottom of the stairs, Nosaka walked up to her and held out his hand to her. Smiling ever so slightly, Yui graciously accepted his hand as Nosaka helped her down the last steps. Nosaka propped up his arm, and Yui grabbed onto it as the red haired teen lead her to the where the team was gathered. "Woah, you look really pretty, Momoka-san!" Asuto smiled and praised. Yui blushed slightly, she could never get used to accepting compliments. But she thanked him anyways. The team gave their praises to all the girls, who all bathed in the compliments.
"Still, I'm surprised you girls managed to get Yui to put on makeup and heels. And this outfit as well." Nosaka smiled towards the managers, his arm still linked with Yui's. Hearing his words, Yui pouted in offense. Aki chuckled. "Well, to be honest, Yui-san wanted to wear a tuxedo, so we compromised and had her wear a jumpsuit instead. Putting on makeup and nail polish wasn't as hard, thank goodness, although she was really uncomfortable, she really did her best to behave while we made her prettier. We hope you like our work, Nosaka-san~" Ootani explained, ending it all with a suggestive smile towards the couple.
Nosaka laughed heartily. "That's my girl." Nosaka smiled, looking towards his girlfriend and leaning his forehead with hers. The managers all squealed at the show of affection, while the boys only smiled. Yui blushed. This night was definitely giving he a lot of firsts.

Nosaka and Yui were both by the tables, Yui was busy getting as much of the sweets as she possibly could on her stomach, while Nosaka watched with a smile on his face. "Ah! Yui-san, don't eat that! You're a soccer player, you need to look out for your health." Hikaru rushed over to where the couple was as soon as he saw Yui eating an entire cake all to herself. Of course, she didn't just scarf it all down like some of the boys did, she had some manners of course. She would take one slice and eat it properly, then after that, she would take another slice, and the process would repeat. Hikaru took the plate of cake away from her and gave her a plateful of healthy foods.
"Nosaka-san, please don't just stand there smiling at her! I understand that you're absolutely smitten with her, but please take care of her! Here, you have some of these too! I arranged the palate myself." Yui furrowed her brows as Nosaka only chuckled at Hikaru. "Sorry, sorry, she just looked so cute, with her eyes were sparkling as she ate~" Hikaru could only sigh. A girlfriend that likes to be spoiled, and a boyfriend who loves to spoil others. They were perfect for each other.
"Do I really have to?" Yui asked towards the blue haired boy, who only nodded at her. Frowning, Yui stabbed her fork onto a piece of meat before eating it. Smiling in satisfaction, Hikaru went off to approach Nishikage. "Well at least he didn't poison it." Yui grumbled as she remembered a bad memory she had while Mitsuru was still around. He was a nasty troublemaker, who put shrimp in her food, something she was allergic to. She nearly died that day.

After the couple was done eating, they both went out to the balcony for some fresh air. "I've got to hand it to him, he definitely knows how to arrange food." Yui smiled in satisfaction, and Nosaka agreed with her. A cold wind blew past them, making Yui shiver. Nosaka noticed this. He moved closer to his girlfriend before wrapping his arm around her and pull her closer to him. Yui felt warmer almost immediately, and she nuzzle closer onto Nosaka, craving more of his warmth. "Yui?" It was finally time. Nosaka would finally give her the promise ring. It was now or never, all or nothing. Nosaka didn't pull his arm away, but he used his free hand to grab the box from his pocket.
Curious, Yui pulled away to get a clearer look of what her lover pulled out of his pocket. It was a box. A small and velvet box. Nosaka opened the box and presented its contents before her. Yui almost couldn't believe her eyes. The Golden ring glinted in the moonlight, and she felt her eyes well up with tears. "Yuuma..." she whispered, covering her mouth with both hands. "A promise ring." Nosaka began. "With this promise ring, I want to let you know that I want to take this relationship of ours seriously. It's definitely no engagement ring, but a promise ring is enough for now. I love you, Yui, and I want to continue showing you how much I'm in love with you. I know that our relationship started out on nothing more than a whim, but now... I really have fallen in love with you."
Yui blinked, and tears began falling from her eyes. How in the world did she end up with such a romantic and perfect man? Her life was filled with nothing but hardship, but as soon as the Momoka family took her in, her life was filled with nothing but love. And now, standing before her, a man who she loved with all her heart, was now presenting her with a ring that symbolized his love for her. Yui smiled and uncovered her mouth to show him her full face. "I love you too, Yuuma!" Nosaka widened his eyes. He couldn't believe everything worked out so perfectly, he was so nervous about everything, he was afraid he would flop, but it worked out, everything worked out, and she returned his love with a loving kiss on the lips.
As they parted, Nosaka took that chance to slip the ring on Yui's finger. They both stared at the golden band that warmly hugged Yui's ring finger. Together, they looked into each other's eyes before sharing a sweet laugh underneath the full moon.
