you've been dating ni-ki since high school, being a year younger than him and essentially crushing on him when you entered your freshman year

something about him really stood out to you, he was very free willed and did almost anything he wanted– campus trouble maker if you really think about it

you were visibly pining him and he could tell, you'd bring him water when he was done with practice or his game, cheer him on in the crowd and even give him a towel for when he was sweaty

he'd notice those things and he'd look forward to his games and practice just to see you that way again

he confessed his feelings for you under a cherry blossom tree your sophomore and his junior year of high school and ever since then you've been together

you were now in sophomore year of college and he was in his junior year, you spent your time together in a co-ed dorm and even got the staff to make you roommates (he had a wealthy family)

today was like any normal day but for you- it was very special, today was ni-ki's birthday and you were so excited to celebrate it with him, preparing everything you could

once you finished you got the table ready but ni-ki had a change of plans

"Come outside" he texts you, you quickly go and see him standing by his car

"What's wrong?" you say looking worried

He smiles at you and pulls you into a hug, kissing your forehead

"Nothing I want to take you somewhere" he says

he drives you to a cabin near by a beach where he star gazes with you, sharing his earbuds as well before leading you farther into the beach

you see his friends huddled up near a well decorated area, with a table and lights, truly romantic

you turn to ni-ki and he gets on one knee as his friends show a sign asking you to marry him

"Will you marry me?" he asks you and you begin to tear up, nodding your head a bunch of times as he happily puts the ring on your finger

"God I waited so long" he gets up, giving you a hug and a kiss, lifting you off the ground and spinning you
