The next morning Hinata woke up and slept perfectly. When he opened his eyes the first thing he saw was Takumi's still sleeping face. He didn't notice while he was sleeping but apparently he threw his left arm over Takumi while he was sleeping. He usually slept on his left side, but sleeping on his right side was worth it. Because this way he would look at Takumi when he fell asleep and woke up in the morning. He noticed that Takumi was making noises, those noises you make when you're waking up, but you're still a little tired.

"Nyaaaaaaaah..." Takumi said. "First morning waking up next to you..."

"Nah, we did this before! But that was a sleepover, it doesn't really count." He childishly sticked his tongue out, but Takumi hadn't opened his eyes yet so he didn't notice it.

Now Takumi did open his eyes. "Morning!" He yawned again.

"Still sleepy I guess? Good Morning lord Takumi."

"That sounds so weird! We're a couple remember?"

"But I'm still your retainer, and it's not quite my style to give you stupid nicknames." Hinata said.

"Yeah. I know that's not your style!" Takumi sat up. "I wouldn't do that either. Calling each other cute nickname just isn't something I'd see either of us doing."

"Haha, we should get ready. Even though that everything seems perfect right now we're still at war with Nohrian scum!" Hinata said.

They got out of bed and both took on their armor, Hinata grabbed his strongest Katana and Takumi the Fujin Yumi. "We're at a good mood now, which would also give us great adventage in our next battle! Confident and good mooded soldiers fight a lot better than sad ones with a lack of confidence." Takumi said.

"Wise words from our young Hoshidan prince Takumi. It's true thou! I feel like nothing can break us down now!"

"Haha, that's the spirit Hinata!" Takumi smiles and they both were ready to go downstairs. Hinata opened the door and they went to the breakfast hall. When they were there they had breakfast again. Of course the newborn couple sat next to each other. But when everybody had finished breakfast Takumi excused Hinata and went to Oboro. He said to her: "Hey Oboro! Can we go into town once again? I need something special!"

Oboro giggled. "All right milord! I'll grab my stuff!" Takumi came back to tell Hinata about his plans for that day.

"Yeah sure, have fun! I should catch up with my training scedule anyway! Today I'll have enough time to get on track again!" Hinata said. He went outside and said to himself: "Okay. I used to go for a run on these mornings!" He started jogging, his favorite path. This path would cross his favorite open field where he and Takumi met. It was such a special place for him, so he made it his daily routine to come there to swing his Katana. So he did this time. He stopped jogging when he arrived at the field. "Takumi and Oboro probably went to town by now already. I'll take some time here to relax, enjoy the beautiful field and the fresh air. This sure is relaxing."

He swung his katana some times, just to see from what angle his blade would have the most impact. Then after some swinging and other training poses he went to a big tree in the shadow. He sat down and picked a blade of grass, sticked it in his mouth and put his hands on his belly. In the perfect relaxing position. It was a sunny day, sometimes a little cold breeze came by, but that felt good because it compensated with the hot air. Every time that cold breeze blew the flowers and grass in the field went with it, but stayed on their place because they were well rooted. Hinata was just lying there under the tree. He was looking at the grass, and the many different coloured flowers. He kind of forgot about his training, about anything. It felt so peaceful.

That until: "Oh, SHOOT! I should continue training! I've been laying here for way too long!" He stood up and continued jogging. "It's not fair! It's too inviting to lay there under that tree!" On his way he did some more exercizes that he had planned to do this afternoon. He arrived back at the camp just in time. Jakob was serving everybody a dish but Takumi and Oboro didn't get back yet.

Just before everybody wanted to start having dinner Oboro and Takumi walked in. "Sorry that we're late! We had something very special and important to do!" Takumi said.

They sat down at the table, both next to Hinata, Oboro on his right side and Takumi on his left. Hinata asked: "So, were you able to get that very special and important thing?"

"Indeed we were, it turned out even better than we expected." Takumi said with a big smile on his face, he giggled at Oboro who giggled back. They started eating. It was a delicious meal. Warm potatous with cooked beans, even the smell was delicious.

After dinner Oboro asked to Takumi: "So when will you do IT?"

"I don't know. Should I do it after dinner? Or somewhere more private?" He answered.

"Hmh. I don't know, as long as I'm there to witness that very moment! Haha" She said and laughed.

"Yeah I promise you can!" Takumi said and they continued eating.

After they had finished eating Takumi poked in Hinata's side. When he got his attention he asked: "Hey Hinata, wanna go to my room?"

Hinata nodded and they went upstairs. Takumi layed down on his bed. He looked at Hinata and said: "I got something to finish this!"

Hinata looked suprised. "Finish what? What are you talking about?"

Takumi called for Oboro. "What is going on?" Hinata asked still suprised. But Oboro came though the door with a small box in her hands.

"I got it all packed up! As you asked lord Takumi!" She said.

"Thank you. I'm gonna do it Oboro!" Takumi said confident.

She wished him succes and after hearing it Takumi turned to Hinata, who was sitting on the edge of their bed.

Takumi looked him in the eyes. Hinata noticed that Takumi's eyes were a little wet, as if he was about to cry.

"Hinata... I know this is the right thing to do. I love you with whole my heart! You give me a feeling that I never felt before! I... I..." Hinata looked confused at Takumi. But when Takumi grabbed the box and got on one knee while he opened the box, everything became clear. Hinata glowed of happiness. "I want to give you this ring."

"Lord Takumi... I- It's beautiful! I love this! I love you!" He said with tears in his eyes now as well.

"It's not just a ring, right lord Takumi?" Oboro added.

"No, if you accept this ring... You'll accept to be mine from now on. For ever. I- It's an engagement ring!"

"You are.. " Hinata sniffed. "Proposing to me, am I wrong?"

"No Hinata. You're totally right! I love you and I want to ask you if you want to marry me!" Takumi said.

"Do it officially! It's so cute!" Oboro said loudly. She almost jumped out of joy.

"Hinata?" Takumi finally was going to ask it. "Will you be my husband?"

Hinata couldn't hold back anymore. A tear of happiness fell off his chin. "I will! I will be your husband! And you will be mine!"

Takumi putted the ring on Hinata's finger. Oboro pulled a rag out of her pocket and blew her nose. "I've witnessed this moment! How adorable."

"If lord Takumi is okay with it, you could be our bridesmaid Oboro?" Hinata asked.

"I'd love to be!" She said while she sniffed.

"Of course you can!" Takumi smiled at Oboro.

"I'll leave you two alone then! See you later!" Oboro left the room and closed the door so Takumi and Hinata were alone together.

"Now we're gonna be together for ever! Not even death would stop me from loving you!" Hinata said and he blushed. He usually didn't use the word 'love', but it felt good to say that he loves Takumi. Because he does.

Then they heard Oboro from the hall: "Hey guys! There is something going on downstairs! Come to the breakfast hall!"

Hinata looked confused at Takumi. "Let's go then?" He said. They stood up and went downstairs, to the breakfast hall. And a huge suprise waited for them in the breakfast hall:

Ryoma and his retainers, Hinoka and his retainers and Sakura and her retainers stood in the middle of the room. All the tables were shifted to the walls of the breakfast hall, so that there was a lot of space in the middle. Takumi's siblings all wanted to say something to him.

First Sakura started: "Hello, B-big brother! We wanted to do a suprise for you and your new fiancee." She giggled. "Oboro told us about your plans, and when she said she'd leave you alone for a while she told us Hinata said yes. So we put this all up as fast as we could. I want you to know that I think Hinata truly is the right choice for you, both so strong and determined to protect the ones you love! You two really fit and I have no doubt that you will be happy together! Now you can protect each other!" She once again giggled but also blushed this time.

Then Hinoka stepped forward: "I'm so happy for you! I always wished for you to find the person that you wanted to be with and eventually get married! I just didn't expect it to be with a guy, like Hinata. I know you two fit flawless. You two make a good example for us, live our dreams and marry who we want to marry! Even if that person is the same gender as you are!" Hinoka sniffed. "I'm so proud of my little brother!"

"Thank you both Sakura and Hinoka!" Takumi said. "I knew you'd accept me for who I am."

Then Ryoma stepped forward: "Little brother... I'm so happy to see that you finally can be whit the person you want to be with. Hinata is a strong warrior just like you. You're always so sure about the goals you set in your life, so I have no doubt that you made the right decision today." Ryoma smiled and looked at Hinata: "I have faith in that you will make my brother a happy person! And also that my brother Takumi will make you happy!" He looked at Takumi again. "So that makes you the first one of us to get married! Haha! I wish you two to have a happy life together!"

Hinoka looked at the floor and started crying. "My little brother is such a man already!" She said.

"Hey Hinoka! Don't worry." Takumi said. "You will find somebody to make you happy as well! I just know it for sure!"

"Y-yes... Haha! I'm not jealous! I'm just happy for you!" Hinata said and she looked at Takumi and smiles proudly.

"Mother would have been so proud of y-you!" Sakura said. Takumi smiled and nodded.

"Thanks guys! This is really nice of you! So am I a prince of Hoshido now?" Hinata said as a joke.

"Yes! From the moment that you're officially married, you will be prince of Hoshido! Ryoma said smiling.

"Wow awesome! It atcually was a joke but, hey! I don't mind being a prince!" Hinata said and he smiled. It really all came true. He's going to marry Takumi. Prince Takumi! "So now you'll have to say Prince Hinata, Oboro!" He said to Oboro.

"Hahahaha! Forget it! And I'm still serving lord Takumi! Not you." She childishly put her tongue out.

"Same old Oboro! Haha." Hinata said to Takumi and Oboro.

"Oh but this isn't all. We're not only celebrating your engagement with speeches!" Sakura said. "Everybody come!"

Upon saying that a huge painted scroll was revealed hanging on the wall. It was Hinata's drawing that he made about his dream of Takumi and him marrying, but much bigger. "This was my idea!" Oboro said proudly.

"Oh Oboro! Did you have to do that?" Hinata said. "I'll pay you back! Promise!"

Everybody laughed.

Eventually after winning the war and defeating King Garon together with the cruelty of Nohr, Takumi and Hinata were the first ones in the army to get married. Also, this was the first marriage in Hoshidan history where two people of the same gender got married. It was an inspiration for other people to get married, no matter what gender they were attracted to! Hinata and Takumi were a perfect example of how a same gender love can be as beautiful, or even more beautiful than the marriage of a man and woman.

Hinoka, Sakura and Ryoma gathered all their courage after seeing how happily married Hinata and their brother were, to tell the ones they loved about their feelings. It all worked out fine. They all eventually got married and had children.

Oboro found out that Takumi wasn't the only attractive guy in Hoshido. She fought bravely at Takumi's side in the war against Nohr and got famous for defeating some of the strongest Nohrian generals, or how she would call it: Nohrian scum! After that she got over Takumi she noticed another handsome man, who she married a while after the war. They got very happy together and lived a peaceful life with her husband and son, and got promoted to the professional stylist of the Hoshidan royal family.

Takumi was sad at first when he realized he would never be able to have a child with Hinata, but they were happy enough with each other. After marrying Hinata moved into the palace and he got reconized as an official Hoshidan prince. Which Hinata didn't mind at all. Their wedding was even better than both of them hoped. And best off all was that for one day in their lives, Oboro promised not to say anything sarcastic or mean to Hinata, and she didn't. But of course the day after that it all started again! Oboro was bridesmaid at their wedding and did the styling of Takumi and Hinata. They all looked beautiful that day.

"Hey Hinata?" Takumi asked while he was laying in his bed in the Hoshidan palace, it was late in the evening.

"Yeah? What's it?" Hinata asked and looked up.

"Could we say that this is our happy ever after?" He said smiling.

"Haha, it sure is man! Our own happy ever after!" Hinata said and he layed down half on top of Takumi, and he put his head on Takumi's chest. He heard some weird noises so he looked up: Takumi had fallen asleep. "Just like old times my old pillow! Just like old times..." And he fell asleep as well.
