"Congratulations on valedictorian, Y/N-san," Yuki smiled at the pretty girl with dark curls framing her beautiful face. Along with the other seniors graduating that year, she was wearing a black academic cap and long robes.

"Arigato Gozaimasu, Yuki-san. You did well as well," Y/N politely smiled back at the taller boy. She had to raise her head quite high due to her short height of 5'3".

"Where are you going to university?" Yuki asked curiously. He wanted to know the place to visit the girl.

"I'm going to Oxford, Yuki-san, to get a business degree," Y/N said as she saw a disappointed Yuki, "hey Yuki-san, we'll meet again, okay? Don't worry!"

"Hai, Y/N-san," Yuki smiled sadly before Y/N waved goodbye one last time to him.

At Oxford, Y/N was known as a hard-working and pretty student. 

Her hard work paid off when she was accepted to a business company to work as an intern.

"Yes, thank you so much, Mr. McLawson," Y/N said in English as she shook hands with the CEO.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Ms. L/N. I am sure you will achieve great lengths in the future," Mr. McLawson replied sincerely.

And he was right.

When Y/N graduated from Oxford, she started her own business in the architectural and building industry. Collaborating with one of her old friends from Japan, they started a company called the Futuristic Facades.

Together with a building team, they constructed simple, yet advanced buildings for offices, homes, and schools.

Soon, their company was all over the news. Many offers began to come in as workload piled up.

And one of them was from Coach Blain, "Konnichiwa, L/N-san! My name is Phillipe Blain, and I'm the coach for the Japan National Volleyball team. Usually, the team practices in many different gyms, but me and the other coaches found the rides to be quite time-consuming. I was wondering if you could come to our main meeting building to discuss for a new gym to be created?"

"Hai, Blain-san! Does tomorrow at 9 AM work for you?" Y/N asked politely.

"Sure, thank you so much again!" Coach Blain thanked.

So, Y/N was in front of the massive, yet beautiful building at exactly 8:50 in the morning.

A man with glasses and a soft smile greeted her, "Ah, you must be L/N-san!"

"Hai," Y/N bowed politely, "you are Coach Blain?"

"Hai," Coach Blain smiled, "let's go to my office to talk about the new gym."

"So, you want a simple building that is 23' tall, 80' by 100' base?" Y/N confirmed as she dropped down the note on her computer.

"Hai, and next to this building," Coach Blain added, "please do not worry about the budget, as we want the best and most sustainable gym for our athletes."

Then, suddenly the door opened and a group of people came bustling in.

"Konnichiwa, Coach---oh! Gomen gomen," A male with yellow bleached hair, and looked around 6'1" said as he bowed to Coach Blain and Y/N.

"Don't worry about it, Yuji," Coach Blain smiled, "Boys! This is Y/N L/N, the architect who is going to build us a new gym!"

He and the other teammates noticed that Yuki and Y/N were staring directly at each other without blinking.

"Y--y-yuki?" Y/N asked.

"Y-y/N?" Yuki said, his eyes widening.

"Huh...you guys know each other????" A younger-looking boy, looking not-so-Japanese said.

"Hai, Ran-kun. Y/N's my colleague from high school," Yuki replied, still stunned.

"Ah, that's even better," Coach Blain smiled, "we'll talk about the building later, you go catch up with Mr. Captain there."

"Hai, arigato gozaimasu, Coach Blain," Y/N said before she went out of the door with Yuki.

"You have no idea how much I missed you," Yuki said as he hugged Y/N, smelling her soft, vanilla-scented hair.

"Baaka," Y/N said, "you could have called me, I gave you my number for a reason!"

"Ah, I was always too nervous," Yuki admitted, blushing.

"Awwww...is Mr. Captain blushing?" Y/N teased.

"Oh shut it," Yuki said, his cheeks still tinted red, "w-w-would you like to go to dinner with me tonight?"

"Of course, it would be nice to catch up," Y/N smiled as she nodded.

Yuki lead Y/N to his favorite ramen shop.

"This is one of the best ramen shops I've ever been," Yuki said, his eyes never leaving Y/N.

"Ah, sir. What do you reccommend?" Y/N jokingly asked.

"I would reccommend the miso ramen. It's very good, it's my favorite," Yuki said.

"Konnichiwa! I would like to order two miso ramens, please!" Y/N smiled as she paid the kind owner of the little shop.

Yuki's mouth was dropped agap, "Did you just pay for my meal!!?"

"Yes, it's my treat, Yuki-san!" Y/N smiled.

"No, I'm going to pay you back," Yuki said, fumbling with his wallet.

Before Y/N touched his shoulder lightly, "don't worry about it, Yuki-san. Let it be a gift from an old friend."

Yuki could only get lost in Y/N's eyes as the kind owner broke the tension.

"Your food is ready, sir, madame!" The kind owner bowed as Y/N turned to the lady and smiled before saying thank you.

From then on, when Y/N finished her work and planning for the day, she and Yuki would roam around the streets finding food to eat.

"Y/N-san? I have something to tell you," Yuki said hesitantly.

"Okay, Yuki-san. Tell me," Y/N smiled warmly.

Yuki took hold of both of Y/N's warm hands as he said, "I-I like you very much, Y/N. From the first day of high school, I would admire you from afar when you laughed with your friends happily or when you walked down the halls. I still remember the days where I would be quite jealous when you went out on a date with someone. To this day, my heart still beats so quickly when I'm around you. I know that you may not feel the same way with me, but--"

"Yuki, I like you very much," Y/N smiled kindly, "since the day I saw you playing volleyball happily with all of your teammates. Never underestimate yourself, okay?"

"Can I kiss you?" Yuki blurted out.

"Sure," Y/N smiled as Yuki cupped her cheeks and the two touched lips for the first time.

When they pulled apart, Yuki said, "I finally found you again, Y/N. I'll find you again in every single universe we are in. Will you be my girlfriend?"

"Yes," Y/N said happily as they interlocked lips once more.
