Shizuka wrapped his arms around his boyfriends waist, burying his head in the smaller man's shoulder and inhaling the soft scent of tangy apple conditioner and flour. A soft, affectionate smile spread across Kimihiro's lips, his hands coming to rest on the others, fingers stroking and feeling the calloused skin. His nail caught the gold band around the ring finger of Shizuka's left hand and his smile grew, muted feelings of excitement coming back to him from the previous day, flashes of the wedding still fresh in his mind. Yuuko had, of course, insisted on being the one to give him away, embarrassingly enough, but other than that tiny detail, everything had been wonderful. Everyone they had met (who had lived) had been present (humans and otherwise) and they had gotten through with only a minor skirmish (apparently Mugetsu and Mokona both wanted kisses and decided it was pertinent to interrupt. The priest didn't get any further than, 'You may now kiss the-' before they pounced).

All in all it was the best wedding he could hope for.

Now he sat in their shared room at the temple, Shizuka's parents gone away to give them time alone for their honeymoon. Yuuko had insisted that, as their wedding present from her, the Mokona's, and the twins, that Kimihiro take the month off and spend it with his new husband. Kimihiro sighed and leaned back, head resting against his lovers, breathing in the smell of incense and musk that stubbornly clung to him because of his work in around the temple. It reminded him of the talk he had had with Haruka the night before the wedding and the blessing bestowed upon their relationship.

"I love you," he whispered, utterly content with the way things had turned out. Despite the animosity of their youth (all from him) he couldn't stop Hitsuzen and Shizuka trod his own path. Ultimately this was where they had ended up, so completely in love that Kimihiro was almost certain he was living a dream. He felt Shizuka's lips quirk in the small half smile he always wore around the smaller man. The one that he used to think was condescending and superior.

Shizuka tightened his hold and turned his head, planted a chaste kiss on Kimihiro's cheek then his lips.

"This person, I marry
No matter what the health situation is
I will love this person
Respect this person
Console this person
Help this person
Until death
Protecting fidelity
I swear."

Shizuka repeated the traditional vows flawlessly, the one that his father had recited to his mother at their wedding, and the one that Kimihiro's father most probably stated at their wedding. Kimihiro smiled, wide, proud, and loving, stretching his legs out in front of his on the futon, leaning back into Shizuka's embrace fully, gradually pushing them down to lay.

"I swear."

Sorry about the delay, but I totally zoned out on Hetalia fics last night and all of today. XD I was going to write all day, but it totally didn't work out like that. I did find this absolutely adorable and amazing SuFin story though, and it was wonderful. It's called 'Outcast' by Angelsaurus. Check it out if you like the 104 of Hetalia. 3 This one was inspired by a SuFin oneshot, actually, where they're in High school and Su-san asks Fin-chan to marry him after collage. :D Yay. But yeah, those vows are traditionally Japanese, but I replaced woman with person instead of having both of them say man. It made me feel better.
