For Rin, everything had to be perfect. He had rehearsed it over and over. But now, as he stood in the middle of PXG’s stadium after another successful game, his nerves were relentless. The diamond ring, his teammates’ encouragement, it was all there. Ready to go. Perfectly planned. Yet, proposing to you felt far more terrifying than any match he’d ever played.

Rin wasn’t good at showing vulnerability, even to you. But you were his everything and he wanted you to know it after spending so many years together.

When the game ended, you made your way down as always as pride lit up your face. Reporters swarmed him, but Rin had only one focus: you. His teammates nudged him forward. Their knowing smirks gracing their faces. Even they were excited.

As you greeted him with a soft kiss, he could barely meet your eyes. Then, before you could ask, he dropped to one knee as the cheers of the crowd faded into the background. Was this really happening?

“W-Will you marry me?” he asked as his voice trembled with his heart in your hands. The ring glistened as if to remind you of the love you shared. His heart and soul that he struggled to truly gather into words.

You didn’t even notice the tears streaming down your face.
