An hour ago...-----------------------------------------------------------

Her cell phone rang as Kiusa picked it up to see who it was - her favorite guy in the world appeared in the Photo ID.

Kiusa: "Helloooo tiger~"

Max: "Hey Kiu"

Kiusa: "So what's up, hun'?"

Max: "I was wondering...if you maybe wanted to spend some time together...at my place?"

She giggled slightly.

Kiusa: "Oooh, getting bold enough to ask over the phone now, are we?~"

She heard a loud sigh over the phone.

Max: "Not THAT kind of time...just dress formally when you come, ok?"

Kiusa: "Oh? And what do you have planned for me~?

Max: "....You have your 'surprises', I have mine..."

Kiusa: "Hehee...I look forward to it then~"

Current Time, Max's Apartment------------------------------------------------

Kiusa stood in front of his apartment door - wearing her best looking silk white formal dress, holding her purse in her hands - anticipating that he would probably take her out to a fancy restaurant as his "surprise".

She twisted to door knob - seems he had left it open for her, and entered.

Inside, the lights were dimmed low, with candles strewn all around the place - giving off a romantic light to offset the somber lighting.

And at the center of it all - was Max, wearing a formal tuxedo coat over a dress shirt and tie - Black and Debonair - even more so than usual.

He stood aside and revealed a record player on the coffee table behind him. He placed the needle on a specific point on the record and let it play. Seconds later, the whole room was filled with "Vienna Blood Waltz" by Johann Straus II.

He then turned to her and extended his hand out slowly-

Max: "May I have this dance, milady?"

Kiusa softly smiled as she approached him, dropping her purse on the ground to take his hand.

Kiusa: "Aww, Maxie...You're so sweet~"

She then gave him a kiss, as they parted, she held his other hand as well. -

Kiusa: "...T-to be honest though...I know how to dance...b-but I don't know how to -Dance- dance..."

She blushed with embarrassment, expecting him to scoff when instead he pulled her closer to him. He looks into her eyes with his ebon gaze and said-

Max: "Its ok...just follow my lead...tonight it's your turn to get treated"

Kiusa smiled and nodded lightly - she always felt so safe with him.

He instructed her on where her hands should be, as well as where to step for the Waltz - as she eagerly complied.

The couple waltzed the evening away, holding each other close...never wanting to let each other go...

Their embrace and dance seemed to go on forever...until the record had finally stopped.

Kiusa rested her head on his chest and softy whispered:

"I love you..."

Max held her closer and rested his head on hers.

"Love you too, Kiu"

This beautiful and ludicrously awesome piece was commissioned by my friend from Amnesolax
