The sweetest kind of sweet

Yesterday, I finished re-reading old manga from my childhood, Yu Yu Hakusho. Ever heard of it? If you're a fan of manga in action, adventure, comedy, and supernatural genres, you should check this out. It's really good. I don't know how many times I re-read it, even though I already know everything in the storyline--who do this who do that why and how and how it ends--it's still fun and interesting. Still, I finally understand plotlines and conversations that I didn't back then.
My favorite character is the main hero, Yusuke Urameshi (and Kurama *coughcough*) I found myself envy him at some point: a carefree behavior, yet he totally understand what's most important in this life. He's indeed charismatic.

Anyway, that's not my underlined topic on this writing. A little spoiler for you who haven't read the manga, Yusuke had a love interest, his childhood friend: Keiko Yukimura. I love their relationship! It's not the usual romance with drama and sweet talks and blah. They don't need words, give me a feeling like a long-married couple.
 
Here's one scene that successfully made me stan for this couple:
YuYu Hakusho Page 166 Volume 17, VIZ Edition. Yusuke told Keiko he's a demon.   
 
More spoilers to give context: Yusuke found himself a throwback from his upper S-class demon ancestor who turned out immeasurably powerful as a battle god, instead of his old 14 years old strongest delinquent in junior high school. He told Keiko, and things turned to the lowest left panel. Ain't that sweet. And the first thing that popped out in my mind,"Ah, so that's how their relationship works."

Later in the few pages after the page above, Yusuke said he will be leaving to demon world, then Keiko dumped him, in a way I never had imagined, very casual. He then visited her house.
 
Yusuke : So I'll be back in three years. I promise. And when I do...
 
Keiko : Yeah..?
YuYu Hakusho Page 182 Volume 17 VIZ Edition. Yusuke proposed!
 
  I barely breathing on this scene. They are sooo cuuute!!!
YuYu Hakusho Page 183 Volume 17 VIZ Edition. Yusuke and Keiko confessed their feelings, finally.
 
Please notice the dialogue bubble on Keiko's mother: He used to propose whenever they got in a fight. Now that's sweet, darlin'. They've never been in an "official" lover relationship together, and finally after 17 volumes, I finally got to know they confessed to each other *cries*
 
Thanks a lot for this heartwarming scenes, Togashi-sensei.

Nah, that. I hope it sweeten your day as it did to mine.
