Night of the Wedding
Cast: (Oboro x Ryoma)
Prompt: The night of Oboro & Ryoma's wedding

"How crazy is it that you're marrying Lord Ryoma? You know he's the king, right?" Hinata exclaimed.

Before Hinata stood Oboro. She was dressed differently today, as a Hoshidan bride in ceremonial robes. She rolled her eyes.

"Uh, yeah, it's kind of hard to not know who my own groom is." She rolled her eyes, but smiled all the same. Takumi walked in and grinned.

"And here I thought you'd wear them backwards."

"Hey! That was just once, by accident!" Oboro defended. Ever since their army had fought the treasure-hunting ghosts, people would not let her forget how she wore her clothes backwards. It was a blessing she could change quickly, or else she would look foolish the whole day.

Hinata turned to Takumi. "Who would've guessed Oboro would be the first one to get married? Our little girl's growing up so fast, Takumi!"

"Indeed she- Wait, what are you implying?" Takumi asked. Hinata shrugged.

"I dunno!"

"Well you're the one who said it!"

Oboro chuckled quietly. Even though Lord Takumi was her liege, he treated her and Hinata like friends. The playful banter put Oboro at peace.

The boys gave up their quarrel and Takumi's smile returned. "Well… It's now or never. Are you ready?"

"Yes."

Ryoma waited by the altar. He felt unprepared without his armor. But it was a time of peace. King Xander was even in attendance, as a show of good faith. As such, the Hoshidan king forwent his red armor and wore the traditional robes.

With Corrin and Azura showing the guests around, only Ryoma's sisters stood with him.

"Y-you look really handsome, Ryoma." Sakura praised. "Oboro will really be happy." Then Hinoka laughed.

"Haha! I'd hope so. She picked it out herself!"

Ryoma shook his head. "Not quite, Hinoka. Oboro actually made both these outfits herself." He smiled. "She said she'd use every last trick her parents had taught her, to make them her best work."

"That's so romantic…" Sakura mused.

Hinoka turned and noticed someone else by the altar. "Ah. Azama. I was wondering when you'd get here. You have actually done this before, right?" asked the older princess.

"Of course, Lady Hinoka. In fact, weddings are among my favorite duties. It's amusing how lovers act as though their love is irreplaceable, or that it was ordained by some cosmic force." He chuckled. "Laughable, really."

Hinoka hung her head and sighed. "I knew enlisting Azama wasn't worth saving the money."

"Hahaha! It's quite alright, Hinoka. I needed a laugh."

Hinoka forced a smile. "Well, I'm glad for you then." Ryoma doesn't need to know that Azama was serious.

Night fell on Castle Shirasagi's courtyard. The ceremony began.

Takumi and Hinata proudly filled the role of Oboro's family, presenting her to join with Ryoma's. She first feared that no one would do this for her, then was moved to tears when her two best friends instantly offered.

Ryoma stood by the altar with his own family close by. Other than Takumi, all his siblings were present, finally including Corrin and Azura. Even if not by blood, they were still part of his family.

Azama stood at the center and cleared his throat. "So…"

Silence consumed the courtyard and all in attendance.

Ryoma and Oboro awkwardly exchanged glances before going back to Azama, whom stood in place, smiling.

"… I completely forgot what I'm supposed to be saying."

From where she stood, Hinoka put both palms to her face. Corrin and Azura sympathetically placed their hands on her shoulders.

"Well, we all know you're in love, otherwise we wouldn't be here. Good for you. You'll both die someday, and there isn't really anything unique about your love. Today really isn't that special, when you think about it. But still."

"Azama!" Hinoka stage-whispered through gritted teeth.

The man nodded. "Okay, I'll take this in a different direction… Both of you are very giving. You drive yourselves to take care of others, even at your own expense. I mean, you would be bad at your jobs if that weren't true-"

Oboro scowled. "Azama! Cut. It. Out!"

"Aaah! Demon! V-very well. Let us move ahead to the ceremonial sake."

Azama presented the couple with a cup of sake. Both of them drank from the cup and Azama smiled.

"By the grace of the Dawn Dragon, you are now married. Enjoy it until one of you dies!" Azama tacked on, though with sincerity.

Too happy to even register that remark, Ryoma and Oboro had huge smiles on their faces. They kissed, to the applause of everyone present.

The feast had come and gone, everyone had congratulated the two. Ryoma and Oboro's wedding was finally over. While most were adjourning for the night, the groom found his bride at a table and joined her.

Oboro chuckled, and Ryoma looked over. "What's so funny?"

"It's just… I'm still not over it. We're married now!"

"Indeed we are. Truth be told, I always thought I would be the last of my family to find love." The samurai smiled. "Funny how life works."

"Yeah… I'll admit, I'm still nervous." Oboro began to blush. "But I can't wait for us to start spending our lives together, and taking care of each other. And I'll make sure you always stay fashionable!"

"Hahaha! The most important part of our relationship." Ryoma joked. They both started laughing, then Ryoma spoke again. "Just as long as you don't have me wear my clothing backwards."

"Heheh! Okay, and in the meantime I'll see to it you don't look like a lobster with a bad haircut all the time."

And they just sat like that for hours, making each other smile. Just as they would for the rest of their lives.

"Lord Takumi, wake up!" Hinata barged into his liege's room.

"Aaah! What, what's wrong?"

"I just realized- Now I'm the only one of us three that isn't royalty of some kind! Isn't that kinda funny?"

Takumi stared. "… Goodnight, Hinata."

"Goodnight, Lord Takumi."

A/N:

We got a request for Oboro x Ryoma and on their wedding. So I decided to take it, because I wanted some practice writing Oboro. She's actually a little more complicated than other Fates characters, so more practice is better.

This drabble was also a chance to give Hinoka a bit of screen time. Up until now, she was the sibling I've written the least about (not counting Azura, if she counts).

Takumi and his retainers seem pretty close, so I can imagine them offering to fill in for Oboro's parents at the ceremony. And even if not, well the mental image was too heartwarming for me to opt out. Speaking of heartwarming, I rather like Oboro and Ryoma's final scene in this. I would've been willing to stop there, but I really wanted to do that joke with Hinata.

By the way, my profile contains a link to the blog. My drabbles appear there first, then are reposted here.
