It has come to my attention that the fluff factor in this fanfiction has been extraordinarily high, and I have come here to dash those hopes. My friends, fluff is not appreciated if pain does not come with it. Therefore, I now instruct you to find your nearest box of tissues along with perhaps a cuddly friend or bear in presentation of Wedding Dress.
"You look handsome, Tsubomi."
Kido's eyes flickered from the hands that were doing her tie to her older sister Ayano who was smiling brightly at her. Although that smile faltered upon seeing the half-dead look in her younger sister's eyes. Today was a day for celebration. The union between Kano Shuuya and Momo Kisaragi, a day that everyone would remember. The day that Kido Tsubomi was wishing would be over with every passing second. She was too late. She was too late to say what she had wanted to say. The words that she wanted to convey to the idol were now locked away in her heart with the fantasy of what could have been. Now she was standing here preparing to go to the chapel and watch the love of her life be handed off to her brother. The sight would have been too much to bare.
"Tsubomi?"
She could feel the tears touching the corners of her eyes but couldn't bare to open them. Quickly making herself vanish, she slid past Ayano before running out of the open door. Green hair flowing behind her, polished shoes moving like blurs against the floor - she couldn't hear Ayano calling out to her for her to stop. The front door flew open and she raced down the street from their apartment trying not to shed tears. How could this have happened? How could she have let it get this far? She could remember it almost as if it were yesterday, the day that her heart broke in two.
[FLASHBACK]
Kano was fidgeting slightly with Momo by his side. This caused Kido and the others to look up in curiosity. Kano never fidgeted. Whenever he did, it was after Kido hit him. The signs showed. Their hands were touching, they had dual blushes on their cheeks and the nervous laughter sealed the deal.
"Everyone, we have an announcement." Momo said.
Shintaro's eyes flickered to Kido who turned to face them.
"Kano and I are going out!"
Kido's heart exploded in her chest and fell into the deepest parts of her soul. Everyone else began to exclaim except for her and Shintaro. Shintaro's eyes slowly shut as Kido's began to dim. All she could see was Momo who was trying to calm everyone down, laughing and smiling. Slowly standing, she felt her body move in slow motion as she passed them by.
"Dancho-"
The door closed gently and she could feel a tear slip down her cheek before she vanished as the door open, a confused idol looking left and right to find her.
[FLASHBACK END]
Since that day, she steadily avoided Kano and Momo. She couldn't see them together. She couldn't see what was going to happen and she didn't want to be apart of it. Then Ene had to send that invitation to her phone and she couldn't ignore the reality anymore. Her footsteps slowed and she checked her watch.
3:00 PM.
The wedding should have been over by now. She must have been gone for a while. Pulling out her phone, there were over twenty missed calls most of them from Ayano and Shintaro along with Mary and Seto. She couldn't face any of them. Not like this. She'd have to have time. Maybe a few weeks or a month. Then her phone rang. It rang with the ringtone that she had set up specifically for Momo.
"..."
She looked towards her phone before moving to put it in her pocket ignoring the ringing. Standing in a secluded place, she didn't need to be bothered with talking to someone or she may have cried on the spot. She remembered this place clearly, it was the place that she and Momo had first met when she freaked her out with her eye power. She remembered those things fondly and it caused her chest to swell and then ache.
"Please pick up, Tsubomi."
Startled, Kido looked over her shoulder noticing a orange haired girl in a beautiful wedding dress. Her heart stopped in her chest as she noticed her hands. They were clenched but there were no rings.
"Please pick up the phone, Danchou!"
She hadn't been called Danchou in a while. After ignoring almost everyone, the only one who was around her was her sister and Shintaro. Her chest ached and she took a step back ready to turn and run.
"Don't run away from me again! Please, Tsubomi. Please. All I wanted to do was talk to you, all I wanted to do was talk and understand. Didn't you even read the text correctly?!"
The text?
She looked down at her phone scrolling to the invitation.
You are hereby invited to the union of Momo Kisaragi and Kido Tsubomi.
- Kano Shuuya
"...Momo?"
She looked up finding the girl smiling at her with tears in her eyes before raising both of her hands, two rings sitting in her palm. One was rather plain just like Kido imagined hers to be while the other had a beautiful gem.
"I changed my mind. I changed my mind, Tsubomi.."
"...Momo."
The girl placed both rings in one hand before reaching into her dress to pull out her phone. She dialed a number before putting it to her ear. Kido's phone rang and she looked down before looking up at her. Putting it to her ear, she pressed 'accept call'.
"Tsubomi, I can't marry Shuuya. He is very kind and sweet. But.. my place is with you. I picked out my wedding dress, I made everything for me and you. So if you don't mind, here and now.. will you please forgive-"
"Marry me."
Kido's voice was stern and her eyes were warm. She held out her hand to Momo, taking the rings from her. Ending the call, she got down to one knee before taking her hand.
"...I'm sorry. I shouldn't have ignored you.. even if you were with someone else, I should have respected it and stood beside you. I suppose I couldn't. I love you, Momo."
Momo's eyes filled with tears and she nearly choked on them when Kido slid the ring onto her finger.
"...Marry me? I promise, I'll never hide from you again."
Wrapping her arms around Kido's neck, Momo pressed kisses to her lips before squeezing her tight.
"You look beautiful, Momo. You look very beautiful in your wedding dress."
As the two embraced and kissed one another, the Dan peeked out from their hiding place all dressed in wedding attire.
"You think that we should tell them that the wedding starts in an hour?"
"Nah, let them have their moment."
