As The Bells Of Everlasting Devotion Rings
The usual date with my beloved today, though spring is nearing it's end and we all have our different things to think about.
Of course, other things in life might come in the way still, but doesn't mean I can't spend extra much time with Touko.
Alas, this is not the only reason why I went out here with her, and while the main reason is because I do want to spend time with her, the second reason is something that might make me spend the entire rest of my life with her.
"I will just head inside the clothing store a short bit, you can wait outside if you want to!" Touko tells me as I nod before she hugs me lightly and soon enters the store.
Perfect timing... I begin feeling in my pocket to make sure it's still there, and it is.
Taking out the small box, I shiver a little while opening it up, revealing the ring I had bought and put inside it.
Today's the day indeed, were I propose to my beloved everything, Touko Kirigaya, and want to truly give my fullest devotion to her.
No one knows about that I will be proposing to her, I didn't want to tell anyone at CiRCLE because while they might keep it a secret, they might drop hints and give Touko the wrong idea.
So for now, it's a secret to everyone and will most likely come as a shock to everyone, but the most to Touko obviously.
I really do wonder how she will react with me bringing up the small box and open it up, revealing the ring inside. I shiver again from the nervousness that begins building up inside me.
But I feel excited as well, because I truly do want to marry Touko. I want to devote my entire life to being by her side.
I put the box back in my pocket as I see her come back out from the store, before walking up to me. "While I did see a few neat clothes in there, I really didn't want to buy anything today."
"Less for me to carry." I joke as she giggles and lightly hits me in the shoulder as I chuckle myself. "Come on now, let's go to that dating spot you suggested."
"Of course! Let's go right away, Stephy~" Touko replies before wrapping her arms around my left arm before we are on our way.
After some walking, we reach our destination, which is a part of Shinjuku I haven't been to before. There is a water fountain in the middle of it all, which is very nice looking of it.
We sit down and Touko begins snuggling while also hugging tightly onto me, which I of course love. I love everything about her after all...
"Stephy, you're the best~" Touko tells me as I feel warmer and more confident to actually go for doing the proposing.
Kissing Touko on her cheek, I take a deep breath before standing up and turning to her.
"Ooh, what are you up to then~?" Touko asks me in a teasing manner as I chuckle before digging in my pocket for the box.
As I grab ahold of it, I pull it out as I get down on one knee, while Touko's previous expression turns into an expression of surprise. She probably knows what this means...
Clearing my throat, I prepare to say what I have been planning to say.
"Touko, you are the fire in my life, so it would be even more awesome to have a fire like that as my wife." I tell her as I open up the box as she remains speechless, but her eyes are very clearly tearing up. "Touko Kirigaya, do you want to marry me..?"
She stands up as she begins crying tears of joy, not being able to contain herself. "Y-yes, Stephan, I want to marry you..! I want to marry you so much!"
I stand up as we hug each other, patting Touko's back as she is probably very overwhelmed from me proposing to her. After all, I did want it to be a surprise, heh...
As we let go, she still has tears in her eyes, but a smile and blush fills her face and she looks beautiful no matter what.
"So this is why you wanted to be here, Stephy?"
"Indeed, Touko. I felt it was time, so I kept this a secret from everyone." I reply to her as I take out the ring and put it on her finger. "It was my mom's and she wanted me to pass it on."
"Oh Stephy, that just makes this even better..!" Touko replies as she hugs tightly onto me again. "I will become Stephy's wife, this is really the best day ever..."
"And it's the best day ever for me as well..." I reply back to her as we passionately kiss each other, enjoying our moment together as we finally will become husband and wife...
Of course, soon after, Touko takes a selfie with me and posts it to her social medias, with a big caption.
STEPHY JUST PROPOSED TO ME OMG ❤❤❤
The congratulations immediately begins rolling in and Touko's band mates calls her in a video group chat to congratulate her.
"Stephan must've been really secret about this because none of us knew!" Nanami says as me and Touko chuckle and giggle respectively.
"I thought it was only fair for my beloved to know first about this after all."
"Aww, Stephy..!"
"Alright, have a good day then you two! I can only imagine wedding preparations are being done soon enough, and we will help!" Tsukushi tells us as we thank her before saying goodbye to everyone, though Rui remains for a bit.
"Kirigaya, I know I am harsh in terms of band practice. But have a good one, you deserve being with Stephan." She tells her before exiting the call as well.
"Haha, I knew she had it in her to be nicer~" Touko says before turning around to me and hugging me. "Well then, let's tell my parents as well, shall we~?"
"Of course, and soon enough begin with preparations for the eventual big day." I reply to her as we begin kissing again, even more passionate than last time.
A few days go by, and soon enough, it's finally time.
I stand there in front of everyone in my tuxedo, ready for the bells to ring out their song, and so they soon do. We decided on a wedding like they have in other countries, but Touko promised her parents we will hold a more family oriented wedding later.
As the bells of everlasting devotion rings, the organ begins playing as I feel myself shaking a bit, but I can see how Tsukushi does a thumbs up to me to reassure me I am doing well so far.
With the organs playing, I feel myself tense up a bit as I soon see the woman of my life walking into my view, her gown being designed by herself for this very day.
It only makes her look more beautiful, I am almost crying over how beautiful my beloved Touko is...
She holds onto the bouqet tightly as she locks her eyes onto me and keeps them on me during her whole walk while Chiyu and Reona are the flower girls, spreading out flower petals in front of Touko. Chiyu is just blushing from embarrassment while Reona is all in on doing this.
Touko soon comes up to me and soon stands in front of me as I start sniffling a bit. "Am I that eye catching~?"
"You are most beautiful person ever, after all." I reply and smile at her as I wipe away my tears almost welling out from my eyes.
The priest steps forward and the organ stops, though me and Touko do not break eye contact.
"Ho boy, this will be a long one." Touko whispers to me as we both laugh a bit before getting back our composure.
The priest clears his throat before speaking. "Dearly beloved! We have gathered here today to join this man and this woman in holy matrimony."
Everyone are very silent of them as the priest soon continues.
"Stephan, do you take this woman to be your wife, to live together in holy matrimony, to love her, to honor her, to comfort her, and to keep her in sickness and in health, forsaking all others, for as long as you both shall live?"
"I do." I answer the priest without hesitation as he smiles and nods at me before turning to Touko.
"Touko, do you take this man to be your husband, to live together in holy matrimony, to love him, to honor him, to comfort him, and to keep him in sickness and in health, forsaking all others, for as long as you both shall live?"
"Of course I do~" She answers and looks at me with her beauitful brown eyes.
"Now, repeat after me." The priest says as he turns back to me.
"'I, Stephan, take you Touko, to be my wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part.'"
I repeat that to Touko as she begins blushing, before it's her turn to say hers.
"Touko." The priest says as he turns to her. "'I, Touko, take you Stephan, to be my husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us apart.'"
Touko repeats it, but throws in some of her own twists. "I, Touko, take you Stephy, to be my hubby, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, yadda yadda. Till death do us apart, though even in heaven I will be with you~"
The priest luckily enough accepts it and chuckles even. He soon waves to Reona to come forward with the rings.
"Stephan, Touko, please take the rings, place it on each others finger and repeat after me." He tells us as we do just that, and I place the ring first on Touko before she does that for me. "'I give you this ring as a token and pledge of our constant faith and abiding love.'"
We decide to say it at the same time, which makes us laugh a bit, but we push through anyway. And now with the rings done...
"I now pronounce you... husband and wife!" The priest says as everyone are on their toes for the very thing that will happen next. "You may now kiss-"
Before he could even say anything more, Touko almost pounces at me, making me have to carry her while we are passionately kissing.
Everyone cheers at the top of their lungs as we both soon calm down with our kiss before turning to the door at end of the aisle. "Ready for more adventrues as a married couple, my beloved Touko Kirigaya?"
"Always ready when it comes to you~!" She replies as we soon almost run down the aisle together, the doors opening and the sunlight's blinding white light engulfing us.
...
"So that's basically how a wedding goes, at least the one's from my country." I tell my daughter, Yoko, as she giggles.
"I also want to have a wedding like pappy and mommy when I grow big!" She replies as I chuckle while my wife, Touko, comes into the living room with takoyaki. "Yay, takoyaki! I will eat it all so octopuses don't need to scare pappy anymore!"
"A-ahaha, I have come over that fear really, but thanks anyways, Yoko." I tell my daughter as I pat her head before she thanks for the food and begins eating, while I stand up and go up to my wife.
"Told her about our wedding day I heard?" Touko asks me as she smiles at me as I nod.
"Perhaps we should renew our vows someday so Yoko and Sam can experience a wedding as well?"
"Ooh, good idea~! Yoko really likes hearing stories about our time before her and her brother, so why not, hehe~"
I smile back at Touko afterwards as we soon begin passionately kissing each other.
The days since I met Touko has been the best ones ever, and after marrying it only became better. We had a dream of a wonderful future together, and that we indeed have now.
"I love you, Touko Kirigaya Karlsson."
"And I love you, Stephy~"
(A/N: Yes, I used my actual last name for once here, though appearing as Touko's last name as well now.
Anyways, hope you guys liked this one, very self indulgent, but I liked writing it.)
