The ceremony had been beautiful. No surprises there, what with Tomoyo teaming together with his mother and sisters to plan the damn thing. He hadn't wanted all the fuss they had made, but he was the heir, after all, and even he understood that the small, private affair he wanted was impossible.
And so he put up with it, with the planning and shopping, the noise and the chaos, the relatives and business associates and reporters, quietly grinding his teeth together at each little annoyance and breach of his privacy, just waiting for everything to be over already so that they would go away and leave him alone with the one he loved the most.
She seemed to positively glow in all the attention. He watched her, surrounded by the people and the colors, and shook his head in admiration. He'd always been a loner, and never could figure out how she could stand all the commotion. All the people. His lip curled back with distaste, but he put up with it for her. Just for her.
It was all worth it, he decided as he watched her laugh, and smile, and dance. It was all worth it if she was happy, and if they could be together.
Forever.
And now, when it was all over, after all their hardships, all their trials, all the fussing and the preparations, now, finally, they had peace.
Smiling, he looked down at her sleeping form, aglow in the moonlight streaming in through their window, and traced patterns on her bare shoulder with gentle fingers. She stretched in her sleep, emitting a soft sigh, and snuggled closer to him.
She would be there when he woke the next morning, and all the mornings after that. They would be together forever, as he'd promised her so long ago. And now, nothing and no one would keep them apart, not his family nor her duties nor all the terrible things in the world lined up to stop them could stand between them.
Li Syaoran. Li Sakura.
The words sent a thrill down his spine. He smiled again, holding her close.
I'm sure everything will be all right.
And so it was.
