Chapter 11: Forever

{Irie's Point of View}

I ended up running home I was so eager to see her, my Kotoko. I dashed through the front door and practically flew up the stairs without saying a word to any of my stunned family who were enjoying a late night cup of tea. I smashed through Kotoko's door I didn't even think if she was sleeping and I didn't care all I had to do was hold her. I just needed to feel her warm scent against mine entwining within the atmosphere of the room which I knew would send chills down my spine; this thrill of pure un-denying love was driving me crazy. Kotoko was lying on her bed peacefully dozing but when I came crashing in she awoke immediately; sitting bolt upright she stared at me - who usually never acted in such an inappropriate manner.

"Irie? What are you doing? It's getting late and I'm really tired from today's events so do you mind if I could get some rest?" Kotoko stretched and yawned whilst talking to me; she looked so cute. I suddenly launched myself onto the bed with her and grabbed her hand; Kotoko was taken aback by this behaviour she was even questioning if this was the real Irie. I hauled her out of her room and down the stairs adrenaline seethed through my body I was never one to act like such a muppet but love had taken over my actions. I continued to drag her along until we reached the living room where my family was sitting. They all stared at me wide eyed as they had never seen me so energetic before it was ironic how Kotoko was sleepy and not in her own cheerful self.

"I have an announcement everyone please would you be so kind to give me your full undivided attention." I managed to conceal my happiness somewhat in order to regain my gentlemanly aura. Everybody simply nodded and looked up at the two of us even Kotoko was looking at me still looking a little bit sleepy but utterly adorable; I smiled gently towards her which made her blush furiously.

"I know that I have only just 18 and Kotoko is still 17 but I wish to marry her; she is the love of my life and I cannot imagine spending another minute without her." There was silence I could feel Kotoko blushing from behind me but the silence was broken my mother's high shriek echoing around the house. Immediately she dived onto Kotoko drowning her in squeals and fits of hugs; I watched as Kotoko began to dance around happily as well. My father stood up and patted me on the back with a wink included; even Yuki gave me a thumbs up. I was the luckiest guy alive.

"Naoki…you have asked Aihara right?" My father suddenly turned around and gave me a questioning look.

"Of course I did I have planned this for some time now therefore I asked him even before Kotoko knew anything." My father smiled before going to hug Kotoko finally she would become a full member of the family and I couldn't wait to start my life with her by my side.

*****2 years later*****

It was the wedding day of Kotoko and Irie the moment they had been waiting for had finally arrived. It was a hot summer's day and guests had begun to gather at the Church the decorations were simply beautiful as Mrs Irie had brought in Tokyo's finest designers to plan the entire occasion. The wait for the wedding had been a little longer than expected as originally it was planned for after graduation however the university entrance exams had made it difficult to plan a specific date for the event and then during the first year of university everything was hectic for the couple and they barely had any free time. So now during the summer after their first year was the perfect time; the two had adapted well to their new lifestyles creating more free time for themselves. 2 months after the engagement Irie had gradually returned to his usual self however his heart always skipped a beat when he heard, smelt or saw Kotoko however he would never tell her that; as he was a highly respected university student. Currently the two were getting ready in their separate rooms within the church; well Irie had already taken his place at the Altar whereas Kotoko wasn't even in her dress yet.

"Kotoko, I hate to say but you are running slightly behind schedule the wedding is due to start in 15 minutes." Kotoko began to panic but was quickly reassured by Mrs Irie and in under 5 minutes she was sitting in a fancy chair having her picture taken several times with different people each time. Kotoko looked dazzlingly beautiful her father was wiping tears from his hand kerchief it had been a rough road for him after his accident it actually took a whole year for him to recover physically which affected the business but now everything was up and running the business was even improving! In the end everyone had found happiness both of Kotoko's friends; Satomi and Jinko both had boyfriends whom they adored. Kin Chan had finally got over Kotoko but was still her closest friend and came over to the house frequently to hang out with Irie or Kotoko they all shared a close friendship; Kin Chan was even asking Irie for some dating advice. Even Kenji had managed to find a happy ending for himself despite being drastically wounded in his manhood by Irie. Kenji had moved away from Tokyo and attended a university in america which suited him well as there were plenty American girls who were all over him.

"Kotoko." Yuki suddenly tugged on Kotoko's dress.

"Yes Yuki?"

"Thank you."

"For what?"

"Making my brother find happiness" Yuki blushed slightly as Kotoko felt so moved by his heart felt words she knew how hard this must have been for him to say.

"Aw Yuki you don't have to thank me. Maybe I can help you find the girl of your dreams !"

"Absolutely not." Kotoko erupted into laughter as her new little brother returned to his usual sharp self.

"Kotoko it's time." Mrs Irie squealed in excitement.

Music began playing as the large doors swung open before Kotoko and her father. Kotoko's heart began to pound but when she saw Irie standing at the altar looking too perfect for words her heart began to melt. It felt like seconds before she was holding Irie's hand and he was smiling down at her she noticed the glint in his eye that had been there the night he announced their engagement.

"You are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen, thank you." Irie whispered gently. Kotoko's heart almost stopped her dreams were coming true she was marrying the Genius! Their vows were coming up and they had decided to write their own under the command of Mrs Irie and her team of organisers.

"I, Irie Naoki, have never felt such happiness until I met the girl standing next to me my life was what some would call perfect. I never had a bad memory of my child hood or my early high school years however this girl changed all of that I started to feel such emotions such as frustration and anger. I know this isn't the sort of topic I should be telling you here however those emotions triggered the love that I fell into behind those harsh emotions I found what I had essentially been looking for. Some may have thought I had a perfect life but now I can tell you all myself that I am living the perfect life. Therefore I vow to my beautiful bride, Aihara Kotoko, that I will always protect her in sickness and in health, I will always stay by her side no matter what comes between us, I will stay faithful and loyal but above all I promise with all of my heart that I will love you every single moment of every single day, I will love you forever." The crowd suddenly roared into applause, laughs and cries all of joy. Irie had finally managed to open up his feelings to everyone without feeling uncomfortable Kotoko looked up at him in sheer wonder she was truly the luckiest girl alive however she took a deep breath as it was her turn.

"I, Aihara Kotoko, am the complete opposite to the man standing next to me. The people who know me will know that I am nothing like him either I am a clumsy girl who is not clever or athletic. Yet I have a habit of never giving up on anything therefore the poor man standing next to me here would have always had to put up with me even if we weren't here today. What I am trying to say to you all is that I have proof that if you try hard enough your dreams really can come true and this incredible man has proved that to me. It's safe to say that I am the luckiest girl in the entire world and so I vow to not just Irie Naoki but to all of you here today please witness this when I say that I will never leave this man, I will care for him always, I shall always be loyal and I will continue to make my dreams come true with the love of my life."

{Kotoko's Point of View}

Unlike the applause Irie had received for his vows I had obtained a standing ovation I looked up to Irie and saw 2 tears falling down his cheeks it crushed me inside I had never felt such love in my entire life. When he realised I was looking up at him he simply smiled down and mouth I love you. Suddenly I heard "I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride," However I couldn't wait I just needed to kiss him right away so I flung my arms around his neck and stretched up to plant my lips on his mouth I felt his smile beneath my lips as he accepted me willingly. I wiped away his tears before continuing to kiss him we kissed until the audience began to laugh and we then broke apart laughing away - the happiest people in the world. Then I knew that what Irie had said was entirely true.

"Naoki, I love you and I will forever." Irie looked abruptly down at me when I said his name as I never said it.

"Kotoko.." He muttered before we kissed again. This time half way down the aisle people began to laugh again. Soon we broke apart and ran out of the church to oncoming sprays of confetti and happy cheering we continued to run, straight into our forever.
