Contrary to my brother's wishes,
"I will not allow you to marry his ryoka blood. He is nothing but a commoner and rapscallion and I will not have him tarnish the noble name of Kuchiki."
And to traditions,
"Ichigo, I have decided you and I are going to elope." "What about your brother? And isn't the guy supposed to ask the girl?" "Nii-sama will only find out after it's too late to do anything about it. And I didn't ask you, I told you."
We've always done things on our own time,
"I can't believe it took you two 50 years to finally get together." "Better late than never."
And in our own way.
"I refuse to be carried in such an undignified manner on my wedding night!" "Then hop on my back, I'll piggy-back you across the threshold." "Okay!"
The only thing that mattered to us, was us,
"I'm sorry, are you alright?" "I'll be fine. Keep going."
And the fact that we were finally together,
"Such beautiful bands of gold, you're wearing!" "Well yes, we're married."
Despite what other people thought,
"YOU TWO ELOPED BEHIND MY BACK?"
Or what they cared.
"I'm happy he's happy, even though he chose you over me, Rukia."
Our relationship might be dysfunctional,
"GO TO HELL, BAKA!" "UP YOURS, STRAWBERRY-FOR-BRAINS!"
But it is also loving,
"I'm sorry for fighting. I love you, Baka." "I'm sorry too, I love you, Strawberry."
Kind,
"Let me get that for you, you should go sit and rest."
And it works.
"Welcome to the world, Ishikawa. This is your father Ichigo."
So if you don't like it, then that's too bad.
