November, 2015
At long last, Tomoe's brother is getting married. His relationship with Minori has been rocky at times, and Tomoe can still remember a time when they weren't together. She supported them from the beginning, and... it would be entirely unfair to claim the credit for herself.
This is their victory. Their victory, when they haven't quite graduated from high school and other students their age are studying frantically for exams. Way to stick it to the system, you two!
Tomoe stops suddenly, then looks around to see if anyone saw her. A proper young lady does not get caught doing celebratory fist-pumps.
Tomoe is not actually concerned that anyone is going to finger her for a tomboy. She is the Love Doctor, after all. She is not like her athletic older sister, who even has her own finishing move. A proper young lady does not wish she had a finishing move.
She rejoins the reception, where feasting is in progress. Cake and ice cream are not the true highlight of the event. Tomoe knows this, even as she gleefully partakes. She can hardly be accused of putting food before flowers: She, who had the role of flower girl during the ceremony! It was not the role she wanted, but apparently she is still too young to be a bridesmaid, let alone a bride.
Perhaps next time? But when might that even be? Alas, both of her siblings are married now.
The ritual of the bouquet is announced. Tomoe has been to enough weddings by now to know that the one who catches it will not necessarily be the next to marry. Even if she were to catch it, no boy has even confessed to her. She reaches up half-heartedly as the prize flies well over her head.
The girl who catches it is a bridesmaid with blonde hair and yellow eyes. She is one of Minori's high school friends, albeit one year behind, and is known at Tomoe's elementary school because her stepbrothers go there. She is not known to have a boyfriend, but that is something that can be changed.
Tomoe affects her best smile, then tugs at Yayoi's arm. "You're so lucky! Have you decided who you want to marry?"
