Mirai's POV
"Will you be my Valentine?" Was the first thing he said when we met. He had called me in the central park suddenly, I thought it was something--well, I didn't expect this, I even forgot for a second that it was Valentine's. He can really be sweet like this.
I am surprised, but pleasantly so.
I beamed at him. "Why, yes." I told him very happily.
He grinned at me, looking very happy as well. "Yey! I really missed you. I've been so busy these days." He said, hugging me.
I laughed, hugging him back. He was so big now, he easily engulfed me in his embrace.
"Love you, mom." Yuta said softly.
Out of all my children, Yuta had always wanted to be pampered. He was the complete opposite of Aki, who wants to be the one who do the pampering and Yumi who is very independent. From time to time, Ryosuke even tease him of having a mother-con, saying he was exactly like Suzuki Daichi, his old role. Well, maybe I am at fault too. I can't help but spoil him. Even though he isn't exactly what you'd call a 'kid' now
"I love you, too. And I missed you, seriously." I told him. It felt as if I haven't seen him for years. He'd been too busy with his work. With his dramas, CMs, PVs, variety shows, concerts, interviews and other things, bonding with me can't really be squished in his schedule.
"Wait," I said suddenly realizing something. "What about Kaori-chan?" I asked him. Kaori is my son's secret girlfriend. Well, secret from the public since Yuta is under Johnny's and Kaori is a very famous actress.
"She's with her parents today. They went to Hokkaido. It's Ryuu-jiji's gift for Kaori and Kanon-san." He explained.
"So, do you have a gift for me?" I asked him, grinning.
"I was thinking a movie?" He asked and then raised two movie tickets in front of me.
"You had already planned everything for today, didn't you?"
He grinned a little smugly. "Of course."
"Come on, I really wanna watch this movie." He said, taking hold of my hand.
I laced our fingers and followed him, thinking all the while I am very lucky I have an ideal son.
So we went to the movie house. I was hardly surprise when I realized that the movie we will be watching was of Kaori.
"You haven't watched this yet?" I asked him, surprised.
"We were in Taiwan when it premiered last Friday." He said, frowning a bit.
I couldn't help but smile at that. He reminds me so much of his father when we were still just starting.
Before the movie started, he excused himself saying he will buy popcorn for us. When he got back though, he seems a bit fidgety and I didn't know why.
We watched the movie, but every few minutes or so, Yuta kept on looking at his phone as if waiting for something.
Maybe he's waiting for Kaori's call? It is Valentine's day, and surely he'd want to talk to his girlfriend. I know it wasn't rational, but I sort of felt a bit left out. My Yuta has someone else he loves now.
After the movie, Yuta had then asked me if we could go and shop. He said he wanted to buy a gift for Rai since his birthday is nearing. I agreed; I too, still hasn't got a gift for him.
We went to so many shops. It felt as if we walked for hours, we both just didn't know what to buy. It seems Rai already have everything he needs.
In the end I just bought him a new shirt and Yuta just bought him a cap. He is rather fond of hats. He got it from Ryosuke, of course.
After paying for our purchases, Yuta had again excused himself to answer a call. I let out a sigh when he was already out of earshot. I know he really wanted to spend the day with me and I am very touched, but I wished he just left his phone or something.
When he came back, he was frowning.
"What is it?" I asked him, worriedly.
"It was Julie-san." He said. "Something about paparazzi pictures. She's asking me to go to the jimusho now." He said.
"Oh." I said, very disapponted. My Valetine's Day would be cut half short.
"I'm really sorry, mom. I'll drive you home then I'll go." He said.
"It's okay." I try to tell him. "I can go home by myself, you go on ahead."
He frowned more but then he hugged me, almost lifting me off the floor. "Mama~" He said affectionately. "I'm really sorry. Let me drive you home, ne?"
I couldn't help but laugh. Though I feel as if I wanted to cry as well. Not really knowing what to say, I just nodded and let him drive me home.
On our way back, we were both quiet except for Yuta's humming. I didn't know the song, but it seems he really like it.
When we arrived at home, he told me he wanted to go inside first saying he missed the placed. He is now living alone in a condominium closer to his jimusho.
I just smiled at him, knowing he was feeling guilty and then moved to the house first.
But when I stepped inside the house, there was something odd. I don't really know what, it might ve the unusual silence but something was definitely different.
"Tadaima!" Yuta had said behind me.
No one answered.
I stepped forward but then abruptly stopped. I let out a squeak as everything went black.
"Y-yuta?" I called.
He didn't answer.
"Yuta?!" I called a little louder, trying to remove the cloth around me eyes, but failing.
"Okaasan, it's me. Please don't worry." Someone finally said. But it wasn't Yuta.
"M-makoto-kun?"
"Un." He clarified and I relaxed a bit. "What is this?" I asked him.
"You'll know soon enough, just bear for a while ne? Come on." He said and he gently pulled inside the house. I really didn't have any choice but to follow him.
From all the years I have been in this house, I knew that we had went to our living room. Gently, he sat me on our sofa and then removed my blindfold. It didn't change much, really. It was so dark in our living room. What have they done with it?
Suddenly, music started. Someone was playing a piano. The tune... It was vaguely familiar. Isn't this the one Yuta was humming earlier?
And I suddenly wanted to cry. I should have known. But it doesn't matter, I knew now that it was all planned by my Yuta. A surprise Valentine's gift.
Someone started singing...
(play the song~ XD)
"I may have run out of songs to sing...
I may have run out of words to say..."
It wasn't Yuta though. Just then, the lights went on. They set up a sort of stage in our living room.
"But all that I want you to know is what I feel for you:
I love you..."
I was surprised to see him there. Ryosuke winked at me as he sang.
This wasn't Yuta's gift. It was Ryosuke's. Yuta must have asked me to watch the movie to buy time for their preparations. Julie's must have also been a lie.
"As endless as forever
our love will stay together
you're all I need to be with forevermore..." Ryosuke sang.
I only noticed then that it was Yumi, our Yumi who was playing the piano and Aki on guitar. Laughing, I also saw Yuta on drums. So that's why he left me with Makoto-kun.
Just then, a screen flashed opened and a video started playing.
A slideshow of our pictures through the years. Pictures when Ryosuke and I were still in Horikoshi.
We looked so young.
"There are times when I just want to look at your face
with the stars in the night.
There are times when i just want to feel your embrace
in the cold night."
Memories started filling my mind. Those precious memories of high school.
A picture of our first sports day, of our field trips, our programs, but mostly pictures during normal days when we're together.
I remembered how we were then. We never really spoke with each other if not about school or work or if not of me scolding him about wearing proper uniforms. He was always a bit reserved then. He was just quiet, only laughing when he's around the boys.
He had told me when we were finally together that he was a bit intimitated by me.
"I just cant believe that you are mine now."
I remembered his confession. It was during our last field trip as Horikoshi students. When we arrived at our destination (I can't really remember where we went then now), I had noticed the boys talking about something very seriously but when they had seen me looking, they abruptly stopped and unconvincingly started talking about the river.
I didn't really thought much about it then, but when Ryosuke had approach me when we were in the river and when Miki, Suzu, Umi, Chii and Yuto all went away, I knew something was up.
I remembered vividly how Ryosuke was, then. He looked like he was about to collapse, he was so red and he was stuttering too much.
But he had said it.
"Mirai-chan, I love you!"
He had as good as shouted it to the river, his voice even cracked. And I couldn't help but laugh. Inside I was so very happy. I had felt the same way all along. I never knew his feelings because it seems he was always avoiding me. So when I heard those words, I couldn't help but laugh out of sheer happiness, laugh because if I don't, I might cry.
And he waited so very anxiously for me to calm down.
I didn't really know what to say. No words seemed accurate enough to let him know my feelings and so I went to him, still laughing a bit, and kissed him on the cheeks.
And he stood there, touching his cheeks and looking at me for a looong time.
He told me a few years after that he'd been in love with me since we were in TGQ.
"All those years, I've longed to hold you in my arms
I've been dreaming of you."
He even told me he was jealous of Miki, because he could talk to me normally and he can't.
"Every night, I've been watching all the stars that fall down,
wishing you would be mine."
"I just cant believe that you are mine now." He sang and I was mesmerized. I am so happy right now. I felt so loved, not just by my husband but our children too.
More pictures of us flashed in the screen. Pictures after our graduation. Our secret dates, our birthdays, our christmases. The days where we were together just because we want to be.
It had been a very long journey and it was like a rollercoaster ride. It wasn't easy, and besides happy memories, there were also sad and painful ones. But I don't regret any of them.
"You were just a dream that I once knew
I never thought I would be right for you
I just cant compare you with anything in this world..."
Ryosuke had stood up then, smiling at me.
"You're all I need to be with forevermore..."
Pictures from our wedding day flashed in the screen. I didn't notice much though, since Ryosuke started walking towards me, singing all the while.
"Time and again, there are these changes that we cannot end.
As sure as time keeps going on and on..."
He was now right in front of me. He bowed at me, silently asking me for a dance.
I beamed at him and gladly took the hand he offered.
"My love for you will be forevermore..." He continued singing.
He hugged me tight, and we swayed to the music as our children play.
"Wishing you would be mine..." It was Aki, Yuta and Yumi's voices that sang the line.
But Ryosuke continued once more.
"I just cant believe that you are mine now." He whispered into my ears.
And all the happy memories came back. Our wedding, our honeymoon, our first Christmas as husband and wife, when we first knew that I was pregnant with Aki, when Aki said his first word, how Aki talked to my tummy when I was already pregnant with Yuta, when we finally had Yumi, all those perfect moments with my perfect family. They all came back. I wanted to cry. I think I am falling in love with my husband all over again.
"You were just a dream that i once knew
I never thought i would be right for you
I just cant compare you with anything in this world..."
He kissed me on the cheeks as I unwillingly started tearing up.
"As endless as forever..." He sang softly.
"Our love will stay together
You're all i need to be with forevermore..." He finished.
I was already crying hard, out of pure happiness.
"Happy Valentine's Mirai-chan." He told me.
I was a wrecked. I laughed through my tears.
He laughed as well, and suddenly kissed me on the lips.
I saw flashes. I am quite sure it is Yuta taking pictures of us.
When we broke apart, I placed my arms around Ryosuke's neck.
"We've been married for so long, and you still can't believe I'm all yours?" I asked him in a whisper.
"I don't think I can get over winning your heart." He whispered back.
Just then someone tugged on me. I looked down to see 6 years old Ryoko, 5 years old Yuma and 3 years old Rai held by Yuka-chan, all holding a rose.
I beamed at them.
They all smiled back and said in a chorus:
"Happy Valentines Grandma."
My husband and I have been married for 35 years now, we have three beautiful children, and three beautiful grandchildren. Still, my husband can make me fall in love with him everyday we're together.
It is one of my best Valentine's Day.
END
AN:
-so here, YamaShi is already 60 years old. they had Aki when they were 25, he's 35 now and have a wife, Nakajima Yuka (OhgoJima's daughter). They have two children Yuma and Rai (both boys).
-Yuta is 33 here and he has a girlfriend, Kaori (RyuuNon's daughter). I think it's not unusual that they still aren't married at their age because Yuta is a Johnny's (basing this from Arashi)
-Yumi is 29 years old-soon to be 30. Ryoko is her daughter. She married earliest, when she was just 23 to Makoto (this is based on Yamada's Princess).
