Chapter One: Dream
Ryoma Echizen's POV
Truth be told, I never thought this day would come. I had always dreamed of kissing your soft lips and being the only one to see those adorable expressions. It was all a dream and next thing I knew I was waiting at the alter and was watching you walk down the aisle in the most breath taking white dress.
Normal POV
Ryoma had been nervous thinking of when was the right time to pop the question. He had spent so many nights lying awake and dreaming of the perfect way to say it. The two of them had gone out that day on their usual walk and the sun was already setting. From the ice cream parlor that they loved to eat from you could see the most breath taking sunset. Ryoma Echizen had become the youngest professional tennis play and had grown to be the most wanted man in Japan. Sakuno Ryuzaki was no different, though her timid and shyness had not changed, she had become delicious eye candy. "It's beautiful." Sakuno breathed as she admired the sunset.
They've been dating all through high school and now through college. Sakuno wanted to be a doctor and was studying day and night on the materials necessary and because of this, Ryoma and Sakuno spent less and less time together. Not to mention all the matches Ryoma had to play not only in Japan but over seas their time together became slimmer and slimmer.
Ryoma stared at Sakuno and couldn't help but wonder why such as sweet and naïve girl like Sakuno would agree to go out with him in the first place. He had asked her out in the bluntest way possible so she would understand and she agreed. It had always puzzled him, why she said yes. "Sakuno." Ryoma said still trying to get use to saying her first name.
Sakuno blushed at him saying her name. She too, was not use to him calling her from her first name. "Hai, Ryoma-Kun?" She said.
Ryoma sat down across from Sakuno. "Why did you say yes to me when I asked you out?" Ryoma asked.
Sakuno's face brightened and she looked down at her legs. "Be-be-because…I-I-I li-li-liked you." She said stuttering.
She covered her face in embarrassment. "I was shocked." She said through her hands, "When you asked me out. I thought it was a dream. I was so happy."
Ryoma's eyes softened and he smiled. A jolt of confidence surged through his body and he felt ready. Ryoma pulled Sakuno's hands away from her face so she could see him clearly. Sakuno looked at him confused by his sudden action. Ryoma cleared his throat and went down on one knee. Sakuno's eyes widened and she gasped. Ryoma reached into his pocket and withdrew a small box and opened it facing Sakuno. A simple silver band with a medium sized diamond was inside. It was just like Sakuno, it was simple yet dazzling. Sakuno covered her mouth shocked. Ryoma gazed into her eyes as he spoke. "Sakuno Ryuzaki," Ryoma said clearly, "Will you marry me?"
There was a moment of silence and Ryoma began to panic. Sakuno nodded her head and started crying. Ryoma let out a breath he didn't even know he was holding and smiled at Sakuno relieved. Sakuno stuck out her left hand to him and Ryoma slid the finger on the second to last finger. Sakuno put her hand up to the sunset and let the tears fall freely. Ryoma stood up and hugged Sakuno. "I love you." He whispered sweetly, "I will never let you go."
Ryoma stared intently at the large oak doors that his fiancée no scratch that his wife was supposes to come through and was getting worried. What if she had fallen and ripped her dress? What if she thought it would be better not to marry him and just focus on studying. A wave of panic washed over Ryoma and he began to freak out. Momoshiro placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. "Calm down." He said, "She's about to come out."
Ryoma nodded his head and took a few deep breaths to calm himself. The song for the bride to come in began to play and everyone stood and turned to the oak doors. The door opened and behind them was the most stunning woman they had ever seen. Gasps and murmurs could be heard from the pews and pictures were being taken. Sakuno was smiling but, as she walked her movements were stiff. The light from the camera flash made Sakuno's skin look even more dazzling and like some sort of goddess. Ryoma couldn't help but smile. She was the most breath taking woman he had ever seen. Sakuno was only a few feet away from Ryoma now and he met her the rest of the way. Sakuno and Ryoma looped arms and headed the rest of the way to the priest. "You look beautiful." Ryoma whispered.
Sakuno blushed and smiled. "Thank you."
Ryoma turned to see Sakuno fidgeting and couldn't help but think it was adorable. He leaned in to her to place a chaste kiss but was stopped by the priest intense glare. Ryoma rolled his eyes and sighed. He leaned back in his seat and placed a kiss on her hand instead. "Don't worry." He whispered, "Everything will go smoothly."
Sakuno smiled and nodded her head. The ceremony had indeed gone smoothly and was slowly coming to an end. Everyone readied their cameras for the final moments. Ryoma and Sakuno were now facing each other with their hands on top of the others'. "Ryoma Echizen, do you take Sakuno Ryuzaki to be your wife, your partner in life, and your one true love?" The priest asked, "Will you cherish her friendship and her love today, tomorrow, and forever? Will you trust and honor her, laugh with her and cry with her? Will you be faithful through good times and bad, in sickness and in health as long as you both shall live?"
"I will." Ryoma said.
Ryoma looked at Sakuno's eyes and gave her hands a small squeeze. Sakuno smiled and squeezed his hand back in return. The priest turned to Sakuno and cleared his throat. "Do you Sakuno Ryuzaki take Ryoma Echizen to be your husband, your partner in life, and your one true love? Will you cherish his friendship and love him today, tomorrow, and forever? Will you trust and honor him, laugh with him and cry with him? Will you be faithful through good times and bad, in sickness and in health as long as you both shall live?"
Sakuno was already crying and sniffling. Her shoulders shook. Good thing Tomoka made sure to give her water proof makeup. "I will." She said through her sobs.
The priest nodded his head in an approving manner and spoke to the audience. "I now pronounce you Ryoma Echizen and Sakuno Echizen." The priest said, "You may now kiss the bride."
Sakuno looked up into Ryoma's eyes and closed her eyes. She looked like a princess and Ryoma couldn't wait to kiss those creamy pink lips. Ryoma wrapped his hands around her waist to bring her closer. Sakuno's back was arched and she was now looking up at Ryoma. Ryoma kissed her. Whistles and hollers were made through out the church. During this time the last song began to play. Ryoma picked her up like a princess and carried her all the way out through the large oak doors. When they had gone out a group of people were already in a line to bombard them with rice. Rice filled the sky and covered both Ryoma and Sakuno. Sakuno hid her face in Ryoma's shoulder, smiling and laughing. Ryoma had a smile on his face all the way to the decorated white sports car. The sun roof was pulled down and there were flowers decorating the car's exterior. Ryoma seated Sakuno into the passenger seat and sat in the driver's seat. He started the car and revved the engine and sped away. Sakuno smiled and waved back at the people coming out of the church. Sakuno looked over at Ryoma and still couldn't believe she was now Mrs. Echizen and Ryoma's wife. Sakuno slapped her cheeks to make sure it was real. Ryoma chuckled and grabbed hold of one of his wife's hands and gave it a gentle squeeze. "This isn't a dream." Ryoma said.
Sakuno smiled and looked up at the blue sky. "I'm glad it isn't." She said.
Ryoma turned when there was a red light and gave her a kiss on the lips. "I'll never get tired of that look." Ryoma said in a teasing manner.
There was a startled and shocked look on Sakuno's face that Ryoma found irresistible. Sakuno pouted. "Mou! Even when we're married you're still teasing me!"
"Of course." Ryoma said chuckling.
Wedding Reception
The room was decorated beautifully and everything sparkled. In the middle of the room surrounded by the white covered tables was a large dance floor. Everyone filled in and made their ways to the designated tables. Sakuno, Ryoma, and the rest of the bridesmaids and groomsmen were sitting on a long rectangular table with the bridesmaids and groomsmen on the sides of them. Momoshiro clicked his glass getting everyone's attention. He cleared his throat and smiled. "Well I guess as you all know, the two love birds finally tied the knot!" Momoshiro said gaining hollers and whistles.
Momoshiro raised his hands to shush them. "I've known Ryoma since middle school and since then, he's been the same dense kohai that's inexperienced with women." Momoshiro said earning a glare from Ryoma, "But, he finally did something amazing! To me, asking the most person woman in your life to marry you takes guts. I wish you two the best and may you make me the godfather of your children!"
Everyone cheered and clicked glasses. Tomoka stood up and looked at Sakuno with tears in her eyes. "Sakuno, you've been my best friend since we were in diapers." Tomoka said gaining some chuckles and giggles, "And I loved it when you ran to me because boys were bullying you. Of course I would beat them up and you would always call me your knight in shinning armor. But I guess I can't do that anymore can I? You've found your real knight in shinning armor. I wish you two the best and may everything go well Sakuno. I love you so much."
Sakuno stood up and hugged her best friend.
They danced, ate, and laughed throughout the reception. People had become a bit tipsy and giggly. Momoshiro grabbed the mike and turned down the music staggering a bit. "Can I have everyone's attention?" Momoshiro said into the mike, "Ryoma will now be removing Sakuno's garter so everyone come and watch!"
Sakuno's face turned red as she was pushed to the middle of the dance room and onto a seat. Ryoma walked over and bent down. Sakuno covered her face. "This is embarrassing!" She said.
"But not only will he be using only his mouth, he will be blind folded. "Oh lord." Sakuno said embarrassed.
A tie was tied over Ryoma's eyes and he touched Sakuno's dress. He lifted it and felt for the garter. Sakuno let out a squeak at his touch and looked away. Sakuno let out another squeak feeling Ryoma's teeth around the garter and was slowly pulling it down. Sakuno covered her face afraid of the look she was giving. There was the sudden sound of hollering and whistled. Sakuno looked up to see Ryoma holding up her white frilly garter between his teeth with a triumph look on his face. "Who wants it?" He asked ready to sling it at some guy.
The guys gathered and readied to catch it. Ryoma flung it in the air and the men fought over it. Kikumaru laughed as he held up the garter. "I caught it nya~!" He said.
Sakuno covered her face embarrassed. "But that's not all!" Tomoka said, "Sakuno will now be navigating a lime through Ryoma's pants."
Tomoka grabbed a lime and put in Ryoma's pants. "Now, Sakuno navigate the lime all the way to the bottom of his pants."
Sakuno looked at the lump at Ryoma waist and turned red. Ryoma looked away blushing as well. "Do it, do it." The people chanted.
Sakuno shook her head and looked at Ryoma determined. She pushed at the lime bringing it lower. Ryoma gasped and covered his face so his blush was not visible to the audience. The lime had slipped and was near Ryoma's private area. Sakuno blushed and looked up at Ryoma seeing the deep blush on his face. Sakuno couldn't help but laugh and continued moving the lime from his lower area. Ryoma gasped again feeling her hand close to his lower region and turned his gaze away from her. Sakuno finally managed to remove the lime and showed it up to the crowd. They whistled and hollered.
After a few other games they played the reception was coming to an end. "Now, we will have the last dance of the night for our bride and groom, Ryoma and Sakuno Echizen." Momoshiro said as he played the song.
Everyone including the children gathered in the dance floor and held onto each other. Somewhere over the Rainbow by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole began to play and they swayed to the song. Sakuno laid her head on Ryoma's shoulder and shut her eyes. Ryoma leaned his head in and inhaled her sweet fragrance. "I love you." He whispered.
Sakuno looked up and smiled. "I love you too." She said.
They gazed into each other's eyes and then leaned in. Sakuno's closed her eyes. Ryoma kissed her lips and shut his eyes as well. But this was just the prelude of their new life together as Mr. and Mrs. Echizen.
