Mia glanced at Isao after climbing into bed, "So.. what do we want to do about a wedding?"
"City Hall?"
"I guess we don't really have a lot of people to have a big wedding, do we?"
He frowned. "I've upset you."
She shook her head, "No. I'm just happy I get to marry you, no matter what kind of ceremony we have."
He looked at her intently. "You're a bad liar. Every girl wants a big wedding. And I am perfectly alright with anythingyou want."
She looked thoughtful, "How about a small wedding somewhere cute. Like a beach or waterfall or something?"
He smirked before kissing her. "I have the perfect spot."
"Who will officiate? My dad could do it.. or we could get someone else?"
"Don't worry your pretty head. I've got a plan."
"I need a dress.." she chuckled.
"Look in the closet."
She raised an eyebrow and went there, opening the door.
A soft gold dress hung in a plastic bag. It was delicate looking and lacy.
"It's beautiful.."
"It was your mother's, apparently. She left instructions to give it to you if you wanted it. Your dad dropped it off."
She smiled softly before going back to the bed. "So the question is when do we want to get married?"
"My choice? Right now." He grinned. "You women need weeks of prep though."
"A lot of that is venue and getting the dress and stuff.. if all of that is taken care of, it doesn't have to be weeks."
He chuckled. "Good. So when do you want to?"
"Maybe this weekend?"
"Yes, my queen." He lightly tickled her with a teasing smile.
She giggled and began tickling him back.
He squirmed under her hands, then distracted her with a deep kiss.
She chuckled softly as they parted. "I love you."
"Love you more. You're my world. Everything could fall apart and as long as I still had you, I'd be fine."
She smiled and kissed him again.
He pulled the covers over their heads as he returned it.
That weekend, Mia sat doing her makeup and hair quietly, getting ready for the wedding.
Ryusei knocked, then entered. "You're gorgeous."
She blushed as she finished, standing and turning toward him. "Thanks."
"Ready?" He extended his arm to her.
She took it, giving a final glance at the mirror.
He led her out of the room, revealing a beautiful waterfall behind a fidgeting Isao.
She gasped in awe for a moment then caught sight of him and smiled.
He looked up and his mouth dropped open.
When she got near him, she chuckled, "Hi."
"Is heaven angry for losing you?" His voice was soft.
She laughed lightly. "You're pretty handsome in that suit."
He blushed a deep red.
Her dad cleared his throat.
The wedding went by quickly.
"You may now kiss the bride."
Isao lifted her veil and kissed her intensely.
There were cheers and wolf whistles.
Mia grinned as they parted. She took his hand gently.
"I don't think this smile's ever disappearing." He told her softly.
She chuckled, "Well, that's good because you're extra cute when you smile."
He blushed again.
"I love you."
"I love you too." He captured her lips hungrily.
She kissed him back until they were gasping for air.
"Gotta stay alive for the reception, you know." Kaito's eyes were twinkling. "Kill him when you're alone."
She laughed in response.
"Careful, scaly. Might give her a handbag for a gift." Isao mock glared.
"Never happen."
"Oh really?"
"Yeah." Her brother grinned smugly. "You'd miss me too much."
She smiled at them quietly before asking, "So what's the plan for the reception?"
"Follow me." Quinn beckoned. He was standing in front of a shimmering portal.
She raised an eyebrow but followed.
They emerged into a field of bright flowers, a tent set up nearby. The rest of the wedding party were dancing as Shouma dj'ed.
"This is wonderful.."
"Perks of the job." Quinn chuckled.
She smiled and pulled Isao toward the dance floor.
He gave Quinn an unreadable look before joining her with a laugh.
After a while, Mia moved away to get some air.
"You alright?" Ryusei asked quietly.
"Just needed a break," she replied.
He nodded, picking a strange looking fruit off the nearby tree and biting into it. "I'm really glad you're happy."
"Are you happy?" She asked softly.
He smiled at her. "Surprisingly, yes."
She grinned, "Good."
He finished the fruit, then playfully threw the core at her.
She chuckled and dodged it.
He laughed and began chasing her.
She giggled until she couldn't run anymore.
He wrapped her in a hug, kissing the top of her head softly. "Sometimes I think I'm dreaming. Being with everyone like this is unbelievable."
"Well, you're not dreaming, unless we're all in a shared dream," she chuckled. "I'm glad we're all together."
He remained quiet, his eyes sad as he watched Quinn teasing the twins with Isao's help.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing. You should go rescue Iz before Ryon pours the champagne down his pants."
She frowned for a moment before sighing and heading back over to Isao.
"My rescuer!" He grinned and dodged Ryon's arm.
She chuckled and kissed his cheek.
"Get a room." Yamae muttered.
She laughed softly.
"He's right. I want to kiss you senseless." Isao whispered.
She blushed, "Maybe it's time to head back then?"
He nodded, leading her to the portal. "Let them be."
She followed quietly as she held his hand.
They emerged just outside the mansion. Isao gave her a soft smile before carrying her inside.
She chuckled softly, leaning against him and relaxing.
He took her inside their room, closing the door with his foot.
She smiled as she looked up at him, "You're wonderful."
"You make me that way." He laid her on the bed and kissed her hard.
She deepened it, wrapping her arms around him tightly.
