Y. - Yesterday
Today was one of those days that wasn't unbearably hot. That was why Sora, Riku and Kairi had gone to the play island. It was the perfect place to stay at the moment.
When Riku went to look for some hard sand near the sea, Sora decided to just go for it and ask that one question that he'd been dying to know the answer of. "Say Kairi?"
"Yeah?"
He seemed to hesitate slightly, before he dared to ask, "Do you ever think about when you grow up and you're married and stuff?"
Kairi's gaze travelled from the sandcastle they were building to Sora's big, questioning eyes. The eyes that she'd decided she liked, a lot.
She thought about it for a moment, as though she was wondering if she should trust him or not. Eventually, she admitted, "Sometimes. I've always wanted a princess wedding, with a beautiful dress and white doves... It's what every girl wants, y'know?"
Sora stared at the sky, a light frown on his face. Was this really what every girl wanted? It wasn't exactly his taste, but if it made Kairi happy...
At that moment, he noticed the sad look on her face. "Kairi, what's wrong?"
The redhead didn't reply immediately. She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and started, "What if nobody wants to marry me? What if all the good guys are already taken?"
Before the six year-old could stop himself, he blurted out, "I'll marry you!" When he caught the surprised look on the redhead's face, he hastened to add, "...I-I mean, when we're both like, twenty years old and you still haven't found someone to marry, I would mind... If you don't mind, of course. As long as you won't tell Riku..."
"Really?" she asked, almost hopefully.
"Sure."
Kairi beamed at that and clapped her hands together excitedly. "...Promise?"
Sora nodded, his eyes twinkling with determination. "I promise."
He couldn't help but grin when Kairi gave him a radiant smile.
~ Fourteen Years Later...
It was a beautiful evening, perfect for a walk on the beach. The sun was about to set, so everything had a beautiful orange glow to it. Sora was walking to the Paopu tree, hand in hand with his beautiful girlfriend.
It had been about three years since the great battle that had involved all worlds and a lot of blood. The final battle had been long and tiring and at that moment, nobody knew if they were going to make it or not. But they had won and the balance in the multiverse was restored.
It had also been nearly three years since he'd declared his love for Kairi...which had happened on the battlefield while they were in the middle of fighting Nobodies. Okay, so on hindsight, that hadn't been the most romantic confession and the timing had really sucked, but could you blame him? Thankfully, Kairi hadn't minded much. That, Sora had felt as though a burden had been lifted from his shoulder.
Sora loved the princess of Light with all his heart. In fact, he would love to grow old with her...
"Say Kairi?"
"Yeah?"
"I've been thinking a lot lately..." he started.
"And...?"
Sora stopped walking. He took a deep, steadying breath, before deciding that it was time to take the biggest risk in his life. He swiftly kneeled in front of her, on one knee, never letting go of her hand.
Kairi gasped softly. "Sora, what..."
"Remember what I promised you fourteen years ago? That I would marry you at the age of twenty if you weren't with someone else?" He licked his dry lips and continued, his eyes never leaving her violet ones, "My promise still stands, so... Dear Kairi, will you be my wife? I'll try my hardest to make you the happiest woman in the multiverse."
She remembered everything that had happened between them like it was yesterday. There was one thing that hadn't changed from yesterday till today, her feelings for him.
The red-haired woman didn't waste any time and fell in his arms. "I thought you'd never ask."
Sora laughed. "So uh, just to be sure, that's a yes?"
She affectionately kissed the tip of his nose. "You bet, silly."
A/N: Yeah, so maybe it was a little rushed, but Sora looks like the type who would blurt out something like this, instead of planning it.
Next chapter: They had all been so zealous about travelling to other worlds, but in the end they had all been wishing that it would end soon, so everything could be normal again.
