"We are gathered here today…" The priest droned on but Kyouya and Nika blocked him out as they stood holding each others hands holding a conversation without having to speak a word.
"You look beautiful" Kyouya said with a look up and down Nika's dress and a smile.
"Your not to shabby yourself." Nika said with a smirk and a raised eyebrow.
"Are you sure about this?" Kyouya squeezed Nika's trembling hands reassuringly.
"Am I ever sure of anything?" Nika sighed letting a light blush fit her cheeks.
"So repeat after me.." The priest said gaining Kyouya and Nika's attention once more.
"I Kyouya Ootori, take you Nika Cho to be my wife, my partner in life and my one true love. I will cherish our union and love you more each day than I did the day before. I will trust you and respect you, laugh with you and cry with you, loving you faithfully through good times and bad, regardless of the obstacles we may face together. I give you my hand, my heart, and my love, from this day forward for as long as we both shall live." Kyouya said after the priest as he gently wiped away a stray tear from Nika's eyes and put the wedding ring on her finger.
"The bride has asked to recite her own vows on this most glorious of days." The priest said to everyone.
Kyouya gave Nika a questioning look. The only reason he didn't write his vows as well was because quite frankly he was not someone who could say so much in front of so many people he cared about. He did however plan to let Nika know how he felt later that day.
Nika cleared her throat and took a deep breath.
"I'm not one for being sappy or anything so I'm going to try to get straight to the point. When we first met I thought you were a rich ass who just looked down on everyone." Nika began only to be stopped because everyone gasped.
Kyouya merely rolled his eyes because in all truth she had a point…but he did wish she got to the point.
"…After getting to know you I realized that you just wanted me to think that. Your a kind and thoughtful man who never lets me be sad for too long…even if it means I'll have to wear a ridiculous outfit."
Kyouya chuckled at the little inside joke.
"I don't think I would be who I am now if it wasn't for you. When I thought my world was completely and utterly over I found it waiting for me with you. I hope to be the perfect wife to you Kyouya. I love you and I know I'll never stop no matter what…so I want to be your wife with all my heart so that I can give you the same joy you gave me. " Nika finished with a nervous smile and her face as red as a tomato as she put a ring on Kyouya's finger.
"Awww." Tamaki cried from behind Kyouya while he grabbed the handkerchief from his tuxedo coat and blew his nose.
"Now if were all done here..." The priest said with a little irritation at Tamaki who was now being patted on the back by Hunny and Mori.
Nika looked back at her bridesmaids and all except for Fuyumi rolled their eyes. Fuyumi looked like she was on the verge of tears herself.
"The more they cry the less likely I am." Nika mumbled to herself earning a wink from Kyouya.
"So if there are no objections." The priest began only to be stopped by Suka raising her hand.
"I object!"
"Uncle blade do they have good food in prison?" Nika asked the bald man who was sitting in the front row mortified by his daughter.
"No, why?"
"That's too bad because I'm going there for a while…please excuse any screams or blood." Nika said coldly as she turned to her maid of honor with clear and utter hate in her eyes.
"N-N-NI-NI…your dress and hair." Suka stumbled as she cautiously smoothed out Nika's hair and flattening a small part of the train of Nika's dress which led the twins to see some wrinkles in Kyouya's tuxedo and step forward to fix him up as well.
Everyone began laughing as the couple both had the same glare of murderous intent in their eyes as they stood stock still while they were being preened by the designers.
"All done!" Suka chirped giving Kyouya and Kaoru a thumbs up which they returned.
"I'm going to kill you, slowly, painfully, and no jury in the world will convict me." Kyouya and Nika said in unison through gritted teeth at their prospective friends after they stopped their ministrations with their clothing.
"I heard that married couples start acting like each other, but that was just creepy." Haruhi muttered to Suka who looked like she just saw her life flash before her eyes.
"Never mess with a bride on her wedding day, and never mess with a demon lord on his wedding day." Hunny said to Takashi who only nodded in agreement as he moved the frozen in fear frames of Kaoru and Hikaru back to their spots.
"If there are no other objections I would like to continue this before we have a wedding and a funeral." The priest joked.
Nika sighed and turned to meet Kyouya with a smile and sparkles all around her as Kyouya did the same with roses appearing all around as if nothing happened. Everyone in their seats at this display shivered in unison.
"If there are no more objections…do you Kyouya Ootori take Nika Cho as your lawfully wedded wife?"
"I do."
"Do you Nika Cho Take Kyouya Ootori as your lawfully wedded husband?"
"I do" Nika said with a confident smile.
"Then I now pronounce you Mr. and Mrs. Ootori!" The priest said triumphantly.
Nika and Kyouya sighed in relief and shared a smile of joy.
"You're supposed to kiss her now." The priest whispered to Kyouya.
Kyouya took his glasses off and passed them to Tamaki as Nika's eyes grew wide making Kyouya grin as he pulled the startled Nika close to him and dipped her low by her waist and kissed her conveying all his happiness in love in one mind blowing show of affection.
"Wooo go Nika!" Suka shouted with applause.
"I wonder if she will die from that much lack of oxygen." Haruhi said turning her head sideways for a better view.
"If there's tongue then she won't." Mori said offhandedly making the whole wedding party and guest look at him in shock.
Kyouya ignored all their comments and lifted the semi-conscious Nika up with a smirk.
"How was it?" Kyouya asked her.
"Huh?...What?..Ohh pretty." Nika said almost drunkenly earning a chuckle from him.
"Guess I don't need to tell Mommy about the birds and the bee's after all." Tamaki remarked to himself as he cried in joy.
As Kyouya and Nika stood in the guest greeting line Nika came to her senses and Kyouya found that her cheeks refused to return to their original color.
"Thank you for coming Éclair…oh well don't you all look adorable." Nika said as she bent down and hugged her three "god-nephews".
"It's only fair that Hunny and I give you our best wishes since you did get us together. Ne?" Éclair giggled.
Nika had to admit that Éclair seemed to have grown younger since being married to Hunny. That made her look at her husband and wonder if she was going to grow evil.
"Auntie Nika, you made Mommy and Daddy get together?" The oldest of the blond boys asked.
"I like to think I just helped fate along, plus if your mommy and daddy didn't get together they wouldn't have had such adorable sons." Nika teased making all three boys blush.
"Nor would Nika and I be together." Kyouya interjected.
Hunny walked up behind Éclair and gave her a kiss to the neck as he scooped up one of his sons.
"I hope the best for you two, and stop by the dojo sometime, the kids really love it when you baby sit." Hunny said as he shook Kyouya's hand and gave Nika a kiss on the forehead as he headed towards the dessert table with his wife and kids.
"I hope were like that." Nika sighed to herself.
"You want to have three kids? If so then we should get started now." Kyouya joked only to have Nika stare at him in disbelief.
"Thank you Mori for coming." Kyouya said to his stoic man of honor with a bit of a smirk.
Nika's knowing smile at Mori suddenly turned into a shocked gasp at his request.
"May I kiss the bride?"
Kyouya hid any shock he had as he fixed his glasses and looked at Nika.
"Well It is customary…I suppose." Kyouya said in defeat.
"But..but…well you almost did worst." Nika sighed in defeat. (a/n: this line will be explained in the bonus chapter)
Mori smiled and bent at his waist to take Nika's hand and kissed it in an all too gentlemanly manner.
"Smart man." Kyouya thought to himself.
Nika smiled and curtsied to Mori who only nodded and smiled at Nika only to find Suka right behind him.
"Hey talk, dark, and handsome. Where have I seen you before?" Suka asked as she gingerly put her arm in his making the man sweat nervously as he also was being stared daggers by Blade.
"That should be interesting." Kyouya remarked as he watched Suka pull Mori away and Blade fallow the two.
"I'm starting to wonder who's friends are weirder..oh never mind." Nika said as she noticed the twins coming over with evil grins on their faces.
"So how does it feel to be married?" Kaoru asked Kyouya.
"Bet you can't wait for the honeymoon." Hikaru said to Nika with a growl.
"You don't feel anything from being married, only from knowing the person you love loves you to." Kyouya answered earning some "Aww's" from females in the audience and even Nika herself.
"Well if that's so then I guess you wouldn't mind us kissing the bride." The twins said in unison with a grin as they put their arms around either side of Nika.
"Just remember that this is an island and you're leaving here in my helicopter, things happen…and people go missing you understand."
"Do you threaten people on purpose or is it just a reflex?" Nika asked sarcastically.
"Don't worry Kyouya we'll be gentle." The twins said as Nika closed her eyes and scrunched up her face only to receive a dual kiss to her cheeks.
Nika blinked and Kyouya put his phone back in his pocket. It seemed he wouldn't have to call 911 after all.
"See that wasn't so bad." Kaoru chuckled.
"Seems you two have matured quite a bit over these years." Kyouya said as he saw Nika blush and cover her cheeks in embarrassment.
"Not really, we have thousands of pictures of her in bikinis and were starting a lingerie line this fall so were all set." Hikaru chuckled earning a glare from both Nika and Kyouya as they left to bother Haruhi who was at the seafood table getting some fat tuna.
"Does he think we can't see him?"
"He is just waiting to make a grand entrance." Kyouya told Nika as they both watched Tamaki make his way through the guest trying and failing to be inconspicuous.
"Oh There you two are I didn't see you!" Tamaki said as he swooped Kyouya up into a hug and bowed to Nika.
"Yeah it's very hard to miss a dazzling white dress on a green background in place that only has 20 people." Nika said under her breath.
"Mommy is married…I can't believe it. I thought you would grow into an old man who collects cats and yelled at neighborhood children in your old shack of a house but here you are!" Tamaki exclaimed with tears in his eyes.
Nika didn't even try to hold in her laughter as she saw her husbands eye twitch in annoyance.
"I highly doubt I would ever live in a shack and collect cats." Kyouya said as he pushed his glasses up out of habit when annoyed by Tamaki.
"That may be true, but I can tell you two are in love! Daddy is so proud…so can I give the bride a kiss too? You let those unscrupulous twins kiss her so it's only right since I was your first!" Tamaki said pointing his fingers together shyly.
"First? Oh Kyouya I never knew." Nika teased.
"Yes you may kiss the bride." Kyouya answered just to get back at Nika for that comment and because Tamaki was the only one he actually trusted not to go overboard.
"Oh thank you Mommy!" Tamaki screamed as he gave Kyouya a hug and straightened his suit as he stood in front of Nika with a bow asking for her hand.
Nika smiled and offered her hand expecting a gentlemanly kiss on it but was surprised when Tamaki grabbed her hand and pulled her forward grabbing her waist and the back of her head as he rested her back on his knee and kissed her on the lips. Kyouya was in shock and could feel two eyes burning holed into him coming from his bride from beneath Tamaki.
Next thing anyone knew Tamaki was on the ground gasping for air.
"When offered a cookie don't take the whole jar!" Nika yelled at Tamaki after having succeeded in punching the blond in the stomach.
"Mommy she hit me!" Tamaki cried.
"Better her than me, I was about to have all traces of you erased." Kyouya said flatly as he glared at Tamaki.
"Uhh…did he really just kiss me like that?" Nika asked in disbelief as she wiped her lips and Tamaki was taken away by the Mori and the twins who were chanting "Tamaki is a pervert, Tamaki is a pervert!"
"Yes he did, I should let you know that I'm not going to kiss you again until your lips are thoroughly washed. I don't want his stupidity rubbing off on me." Kyouya said earning a grin from under Nika's veil.
"Oh come on gimme a kiss!" Nika said grabbing Kyouya by the collar and pushing her lips at him.
Kyouya merely removed her hands and gave her a warm kiss to the cheek.
"You know you just second hand kissed the twins." Nika remarked causing them both to pause.
"I'm gonna take a shower."
"You go do that." Kyouya said dryly as he shivered for a second and regained his composure.
After they had cut the cake and everyone said their goodbyes after the wedding ceremony Kyouya and Nika arrived at their honeymoon suite.
"I can't believe it. I'm Mrs. Nika Cho Ootori." Nika sighed as she looked at her ring in amazement.
"Believe it because it's true. I love you Nika and I'm happy that I get to share my life with you. I cant imagine anyone else sharing my name, and no one else will." Kyouya said as he leaned in to kiss Nika and was about to bend down and pick her up bridal style only to be stopped by a hand.
"What do you think your doing?" Nika asked.
"It's customary for a groom to pick his bride up and carry her over the threshold."
"I think I gained weight from that cake, Plus what if you hurt your back or something? Were not as young as we used to be and I don't want to have to explain to the doctor the reason my husband is in the hospital on our honey moon is because he tried to lift my Shamoo butt and broke his spine is several places. Eeek!"
Kyouya rolled his eyes after Nika's ramble and picked her up with ease making her squeak.
"I doubt you can gain weight from one slice of cake in 24 hours, also if you have forgotten I'm only 22 I think I can handle picking you up without fear for my back, and you do not have a Shamoo butt." Kyouya reassured her as he opened the door.
Nika looked up into Kyouya's smirking eyes and could only think one thing;
"I love this man with all my heart, and he loves me. I know now that he healed my heart and we can make this work."
"Hmm.. it does seem like you gained a little weight." Kyouya teased as he walked through the door.
"I'm going to kill him with all my heart!" Nika thought darkly as her eyebrow twitched in annoyance making Kyouya chuckle and kiss her forehead causing her to blush.
The door closed behind them and the new life of husband and wife opened in front of them.
