Start By Becoming A Mangaka

Women love wine.

Yuuki wasn\'t sure why the loved it but it might be because of the effect of a romantic movie that always shows a romantic dinner date scene.

The waitress guided them to their table and told them that she would serve the menu immediately.

Yuuki talked about wine and looked at his dating partner.

"You sure are very skilled in this matter," Yaeko said.

"Really? I\'m slightly nervous," Yuuki said.

"Oh? Why?" Yaeko asked.

"Because you\'re so stunning today," Yuuki said.

Yaeko snorted and said, "You and your mouth."

"I am only telling the truth." Yuuki grinned and asked, "So do you have something that you want to talk to me about?"

Yaeko was startled and didn\'t expect him to be so direct. "Can you tell me?"

"This morning, I just got a feeling that you wanted to talk to me about something, but you\'re quite hesitant about something," Yuuki said.

"....."

Yaeko was silent then asked, "Do you love me?"

Yuuki took her hand and said with a firm expression, "I love you and that love won\'t change."

"...." Yaeko blushed with his actions and words.

The waitress came and smiled when she heard their conversation. She had seen a lot of couples in this place but she could see that the woman was older than the man. She thought that this woman was really lucky. She poured wine for both of them while trying to not disturb them.

Yaeko looked at him and said, "Yuuki, I want a child."

The waitress was startled and almost let got the bottle of wine in her hand. She sighed in relief since the bottle didn\'t drop on the ground. She would need to pay the loss with her salary and she knew that it would be a trouble for her.

"Sure," Yuuki answered without hesitation.

The waitress let go of the bottle of wine in her hand since she was very startled at his response.

Yaeko seemed happy with his answer.

Yuuki caught the bottle of wine and said, "Be careful."

"I am sorry!" The waitress said and left them. Her face was red and she was glad that Yuuki had caught the bottle of wine.

Yuuki nodded and told this waitress to go away first. He looked at Yaeko and asked, "I don\'t mind having children, but can you tell me why? I am still young after all." He had always used his magic to not make his girls pregnant with his seed since he was young. Even though he had money, it didn\'t mean that it was a good time for him to have children since he was young. He wanted to know what was her reason.

"......"

"I am old." Yaeko looked at him and said, "I am 44 years old now. When you have graduated then I should be 46 years old. I am not sure whether you can still love me, but I love you. I am not sure that we can marry, but I want to have your children." She couldn\'t help but be worried about herself since she was quite old. In the next six years, she should be 50 years old and Yuuki would be only in his 23 years old. There was such a big gap between the two of them and that made her worried.

Yuuki grasped her hand gently while staring right into her eyes. "Listen," he uttered that word gently, making her look at him. "I know that you\'re worried. Our age difference is big, but that doesn\'t mean my love for you will change. If you\'re worried that you\'ll get old then you don\'t need to worry that I have a magic to make you young forever. If you\'re worried that I won\'t marry you then you don\'t need to worry that we can marry next year. If you\'re worried that my love for you will change then you don\'t need to worry since it won\'t change."

"Yaeko, I love you. You\'re the gentlest woman that I have met and I am very lucky to have you in my life."

Yuuki knew that age was cruel for women since there would be a wrinkle or something, but he was a magician and his girlfriends didn\'t need to worry about that.

"Yuuki...." Yaeko grasped his hand tighter and glad that she had asked this question for him.

"Tonight, I won\'t let you fall asleep," Yuuki said and smirked.

Yaeko blushed and slapped his hand. "Pervert!" She didn\'t hate him to say this rather she was quite excited.

Yuuki turned and saw a piano in the middle of the restaurant. He looked at Yaeko and said, "Wait here, I\'ll sing something to you."

Yaeko nodded and felt quite excited.

Yuuki stood up and walked toward the piano while asking the waitress. "Can I play the piano?"

"Sure." The waitress nodded without hesitation.

"Thank you," Yuuki said and sat down on the chair.

Everyone seemed attracted to him when Yuuki sat down on the chair while checking the piano. They looked at him curiously to see what this man would sing.

Yuuki took a deep breath before he started to play the piano.

The sound of the song is light and gentle as if a lover hugs from you tenderly.

BGM: (Nothing Gonna Change My Love For You - George Benson).

"If I had to live my life without you near me."

"The days would all be empty."

"The nights would seem so long."

Everyone seemed exclaimed when they heard him sing this song. They knew that Yuuki had sung this song to his dating partner.

Yaeko blushed and couldn\'t hide the smile on her face hearing him sing this song for her.

Yuuki could see Yaeko from his position and sang his song with all of the emotion on his heart telling her that it would be alright.

"Nothing\'s gonna change my love for you."

"You oughta know by now how much I love you."

"The world may change my whole life through."

"But nothing\'s gonna change my love for you."

Yuuki kept singing until the song was over. He received warm applause from everyone and went back to Yaeko. He drank the wine and took Yaeko\'s hand before entering the room that he had booked.

"Where are we going?" Yaeko asked.

"Make children," Yuuki answered.

"Oh...." Yaeko only shook her head while blushing but following him eagerly. She thought about the wine that she had drunk earlier.

Love, like wine, gets better with time.
