She turns her face skyward and smiles.
The sun shines down on them, giving its blessing. The water behind them glitters in the bright light, like her partner's eyes. (Are those tears, she wonders.) Rose petals rain down on them as their guests make a ruckus. She blushes red and laughs.
"Any regrets yet?" Her love whispers, always joking.
"Maybe," she teases back. They kiss, slowly, tenderly, drinking each other in. Odango breaks out in fresh tears and Rei admonishes her for ruining the photos.
The nine of them plus Mamoru gather in front of the camera for one last shot. Any other day they would be out fighting to save the world, but this day is theirs.
They are alone, finally. Their lips meet again. A warm breeze carries the scent of flowers and the sea. Some teal hair blows across her face. Haruka brushes it back behind her ear.
"My wife is perfect."
"As always." They share another kiss. Standing by the ocean on a beautiful afternoon, together, forever. She turns her face skyward and smiles.
