The Signs As Beautiful Words In English: Cancer - Serendipity (n.) - the chance occurrence of events in a beneficial way
Midorima Shintarou was a firm believer in fate and destiny.
He believed it to have been his destiny to go to Shuutoku High. He didn't think for even a second that his meeting Takao was not fate. But even though he believed in such things, Midorima also believed very much in hard work and dedication, because only then would one be able to fulfill their destiny. So even though his and Takao's meeting had been by chance, he could not say that Takao making it to first string on the team was chance. He could not say that Takao befriending him was chance. He could not say that his falling in love with Takao had been chance. Their relationship had been built upon a meeting that had happened purely by chance. And that simple encounter had changed everything for both of them.
As they stood side by side on this day - their wedding day - Midorima couldn't simply not be grateful for the serendipitous forces that had brought them together.
"And now, the two will exchange their vows." the minister announced. Midorima stood a little straighter, and cleared his throat. He had been told that he could read it from a paper, but he felt that it would be inadequate in expressing his feelings, so he'd memorized it - it wasn't a difficult thing to do when everything he was about to say were words from his heart.
"Takao," He paused. "No. Kazunari," he corrected himself, "Today we join together in marital union, and I'd like to take a moment now to say things I do not say enough, if at all." Reaching down, he took his soon-to-be-husband's hands in his, and grasped them tightly. "I love you. I will be proud to call you my husband, because you are the most tolerant, kind-hearted, respectable, clever, humorous, hard-working, determined, loving man." His gaze went from Takao's trembling hands to his watery eyes, and found himself uncharacteristically emotional as well. He swallowed thickly before continuing on. "You have taught me that two people joined together with respect, trust, and open communication can be far stronger and happier than each could ever be alone. You are the strength I didn't know I needed, and the joy that I didn't know I lacked. Today, I choose to spend the rest of my life with you. I promise to love you for who you are, and for who you are yet to become. I promise to be patient, and to remember that all things
between us are rooted in love. I promise to nurture your dreams and to help you reach them. I promise to share my whole heart with you, and to remember to show you how deeply I care for you, no matter the challenges that may come our way. I promise to love you loyally and fiercely—as long as I shall live."
Tears had long since started trickling down Takao's cheeks, immensely moved by Shin-chan's words. Wiping them away, he let out a small chuckle.
"When did you become such a romantic, Shin-chan?" he asked affectionately.
