A/N: And here's the final prompt! Thanks for all the reviews and love guys. I love them all.

Also, can you see how this one is my favorite? I wish my future husband calls me a zero. If he calls me one, and means it in my definition, then I am marrying him right there and then!

BTW: I did cry when I wrote this. A few tears were shed, because I thought it was so cute.

Enjoy!

Z is for "Zero"

"Hatori, you can't look at my paper! I don't want to ruin the surprise! You told me it would be a good idea to write our own," he leaned away from her.

"I need some kind of inspiration. You're better at this kind of stuff," she pursed her lips.

"Even if you just said 'I love you', I'd be fine with that," she muttered under her breath.

"You may say your vows, Mr. Hatori Sohma," he looked down at his bride. He memorized his whole speech, but he never said it to her face before—obviously. She didn't look like herself, what with all the makeup she had on (and he hated her hair curly; he liked it straight), but he knew she was still beautiful.

He took in a deep breath and smiled. He knew she was ready; he had been ready for a long time. "Will you marry me?"

"Tohru, I love you," he paused; she was already crying! And whenever she cried, he usually followed suit with a few tears (it was no exception). "And you said it yourself: even if I just said 'I love you' you'd be fine with that," there were tears falling from her eyes. He held her hands. "Tohru, this may sound weird, but do you remember our third anniversary? When we called each other numbers?" She started to blink and more tears fell.

"Hatori, you're my number one!" He looked down at the woman holding his waist while lying on the ground.

"Number one, huh?" He asked. She nodded, and looked up at him with a smile.

"You always will be!" He smiled.

"Then…"

She rapidly nodded. "You're my number zero. You're my perfect, flawless, mysterious number, and I love you so, so much. You will be my number zero, forever and always," he had a tear falling from his eye (luckily, Shigure wiped it away and made Tohru laugh), and she had tears falling while she smiled.

"Well," she started her vow. "I think you looked at my vow, because you took my zero reference."

"You're not a 'zero', Tohru, you're perfect in every way. A zero, in your terms, means a loser. You're far from it. In my mind, a zero is perfection."

"Well…"

Hatori squeezed her hands. "I'm glad to be your number zero, Hatori. Forever and ever will I want to be your number zero. That means, then, that you'll be my hero. A zero always needs a hero, and I'm glad you're him," he felt her squeeze back. "I don't know who else it could be."

"Then by the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. Sir, you may kiss your bride."

He always did what he was told, especially with her. "Can I kiss you, my zero?"

"Of course you can. I love you, my hero—I always will."
