Cinder had already started to pull her intricate hairstyle apart as she and Kai hurried down the hall to their room. She handed him pins and hair ornaments to hold as she did, Kai laughing as the pile in his hands grew larger.
"I can't stand being this fancy!" Cinder said.
"I know, but you looked so beautiful." Kai said.
Cinder rolled her eyes at him as stopped to take of her high heeled shoes. "You said that yesterday when I was wearing my cargo pants."
Kai shrugged. "You always look beautiful to me, but I thank you for humoring me and dressing up tonight."
"Well," Cinder said grinning, "I suppose you only get married once."
Kai smiled back. She did always look beautiful to him. She had been just as stunning covered in grease the first day he saw her in the market as she had tonight in her red cheongsam wedding dress.
"What are we standing out here for again?" Cinder said, still grinning. "I believe, we are supposed to be celebrating our wedding night."
"Good point." Kai said and he ran down the last few hundred feet of the hallway. Cinder was on his heels and caught up with him as they reached the door. They stumbled inside together and Kai dumped the clutter of accoutrements onto a desk. Cinder tossed her shoes at the closet and missed spectacularly.
"Help me get this dress off, will you?" Cinder asked, fumbling with one of the knotted ties.
"So romantic." Kai laughed as he took off his shoes and undid the ties on his own jacket.
"There will be plenty of time for romance when I don't feel like a doll." Cinder said.
She had most of them done by the time he got to her, but kai still undid a couple and helped pull the dress off of her.
He laughed when he saw that underneath she was wearing her usual plain black underwear and a tank top, wondering how Cinder had got away with it against Priya's preparations.
Cinder took a deep breath and ran her fingers through the last knots in her hair. "That's so much better!" She said.
She realized that he was staring at her and asked, "What is it?" Her hand moving unconsciously to her metal leg.
"You are so beautiful." Kai said as he brushed some stray hairs from her face.
Cinder smiled, her eyes bright. "So are you." She said and she pulled him in for a kiss.
