Welcome to Gaia! ::

♕♛ Why did everything feel like it was moving in slow motion? Everyone had been seated, led by ushers and the like. Set had arrived only about...five minutes ago. But walking down to the altar it felt like a lot longer. All eyes were on him. Stepping to the altar, he saw Colui. The Quincy who helped him long ago had become a holy man in the world of the living. Set wanted nobody else.

His whole body itched to just go run off and find Yuzuki somewhere, take her and see her already. It had been awhile since they were separated for even a day. Separation was something they didn't take well, since they both knew one day could lead into three months at a moments notice. Not just that though. He wanted to see her in her brides dress, see his children and be with his family for a bit to calm his nerves.

As Set reached the altar, he gave Colui a nod before turning around and holding his hands together in front of himself, eyes drifting to Noctis, who gave a knowing nod. He knew that Set found great comfort in Yuzuki, so it'd probably be hard since she was what he now needed to deal with in the sweetest of ways.
Set saw the ushers roll out the red carpet. He knew what was coming. The groomsmen and bridesmaids walked out, and Noctis crossed his arms, waiting for whoever Yuzuki's Maid of Honor was. Noctis was the best man and was meant to walk down with her. The music had begun to play, soft sounds of the piano reminding Set of nights he spent with her in the music room. Those memories managed to calm him. Watching Yuzuki play a piece, then cutting in only to play with her.

The brides maids all gave him knowing smiles. They knew he was in for a shock when he saw Yuzuki. Now it was the flower girls and ring bearers...and it was time for his soon to be wife to walk down the isle.

♕♛ She looked more beautiful than he could ever imagine. Just seeing her, it made his heartbeat skip and flutter. Her white dress made it look like she soared over to him, and when she went under the sun roof, the gold on her flashed and glistened into his vision. The lace of the dress, the jewelry and...his cheeks heated. A...collar? It held the locket of his old necklace. He rose his vision back to her. She looked so beautiful, innocent, yet he knew that the jewelry and the wedding was a way of her showing that she was completely his. Her brown, teddy bear eyes looked into his amber hues. God why was it taking so long for her to get to him. He just wanted her to run to him, or he'd do the same to her. She smiled though, beamed on him, and he smiled back, happy. Delighted. Completely overjoyed.

Hideki was with her at the altar, and Set nodded to the man. Noctis winked to Set as he passed with the bridesmaid. Everyone wanted this, huh? He saw Hideki crying as he handed Yuzuki over, and Yumaki made his smile more comforting before the gay man walked away. It was then that Yuzuki held his hands, and he looked back into her eyes. God they needed to hurry this up. He needed to touch her more. They had their honeymoon set to one of the Maldives Islands. A small resort there made just for honeymooners next to the water. He'd be able to lose his resistance there.

She was handed Misaru, and Set took Akane into his arms, unfortunately having to break his hands from hers. The moment Akane went into his arms, her golden eyes blinked open and she saw her daddy, a joyous smile crossing her features. She then saw her mommy and let out a giggle. She was always so calm in his arms.

It was then that Colui began to speak and recite the vows, smiling as well. Set blanked it all out though. She was so beautiful. He was lucky. We are gathered here today on this happy and joyous occasion, to join this man and this woman in holy matrimony.

Set stilled then, his smile still there, eyes soft as the gazed lovingly at Yuzuki. When Colui began to speak on just what marriage was, Set held Akane in one hand, and his other hand touched hers. His golden reiatsu almost couldn't be contained, and it made his eyes glow the slightest bit.

Groom, do you take this woman to be your wedded wife? Set already almost spoke then. Though he held himself back. Do you promise to love her, comfort her, honor and keep her in sickness and in health remaining faithful to her as long as you both shall live? Set took a breath. He closed his eyes for a moment, then spoke.

"I've never liked promises. I love you, Yuzuki, so this answer should be obvious to you. I swear to be yours forever." He spoke, breaking tradition and speaking his own words.

♕♛ Set smiled as she spoke, not just any smile. That carefree one she adored. His blush was there and his amber eyes looked to her now purple ones.

Noctis knew what was coming. He left his spot and whispered something to Set, who nodded and handed Akane to her uncle. He walked to Yuzuki and the usually nonchalant Noctis gave her a sincere, happy smile before taking Misaru as well gently.

Then by the power invested in me, I now pronounce you man and wife. Colui spoke, and Set had already moved forwards. You may now kiss...the...bride. Too late. Set already pressed his lips to hers, everyone cheering, one hand at her hip while the other touched her collar before moving down slowly. His lips moved sweetly and gently, subtly against hers while Also containing a force that expressed his happiness. It was passionate, loving, an embodiment of all his feelings for her. His other hand slid down her dress until it eventually settled at her hip, then both his arms moved around her and pulled her close into his embrace, sharing warmth.

The children giggled and laughed to their hearts content, seeing their parents and everyone else so happy. Noctis let his own cheers sound out as well, happy for his brother and the new additions to the family. Nobody was happier than the couple though. Set could now officially call her his wife. Yuzuki Kobayashi-Kuraishi. He didn't know any other way to show his feelings than with this one kiss he'd give that would top all others. He leaned his weight forwards so that she'd hang back in his arms and he leaned down, giving her anything he could. Anything she wanted. His kiss there for her, his cheeks red for her, everything for her.

Eventually pulling back, Set looked Yuzuki in the eyes, his breath slightly distorted as he caught it. "Well, Yuzuki...Was that a good enough kiss for you?" He'd ask her with a grin, his heart light.

Hell. He was sure that kiss was even better than the cake they'd be having.

♕♛ Set looked into her eyes, not letting her look away for long before he began to affectionately kiss her neck, listening to her words. "Well then. If that didn't suffice, then I'll have to try even harder on our honeymoon." He spoke, relieving her of his touches then.

The next few minutes of preparation blew by. The chefs were putting the final touches on the cake, and it was time for the husband and wife dance. He'd danced with multiple people already, and as did she, but now it was that time for them to do it together, then move on to cut the cake.

Set held one of her hands in his own, the other placed just at her hip as he moved with her, the music slow through the speakers. "Yuzuki. Sorry if I'm a little slow at first. I'm not the best dancer." He spoke to the ballerina teacher. His smile was small, focus on her, the music only barely on his mind. Set kept her close as they moved. "I'm sure I'll catch on though. Can't let our first dance go horribly." He spoke, laughing a bit. It was funny, knowing that he'd never done this with her before. Especially because she taught dancing. They both enjoyed music.

He moved with her around the dance floor, making sure his body stayed in sync with hers, occasionally dropping kisses along her shoulder, neck, and the collar she had. "What's with this collar by the way? I...like it." He admitted, blushing.

♕♛ Set blinked a bit when that song came on. The subtle violin leading into the lyrics. He laughed slightly. From the
very first words, from start to finish...Honestly it was a song made just for her.

Yuzuki smiled and began to sing along to the chorus...his lips followed suit, raising at the corners as well. He loved her voice. Honestly he could sit there and listen to her sing for hours. It could put him to sleep if he let it. "You're my end and my beginning. Even when I lose I'm winning." He'd sing along softly as well. His singing was a bit rare. Something he stopped doing a long time ago.Still, for her, what wouldn't he do? She was his wife...they were married now. He felt the metal of the band around his finger as he thought that. He really had given it all for her, and he always would.

"The world is beating you down...I'm around through every mood." He remembered when Akane died, and Yuzuki had sunk into a depression. He was there for her, at her side, not leaving her to cry alone. He comforted her. There were multiple times like that. His leaving, her indecisiveness on having children, the transformation she had into a Vizard.

"You're my downfall, you're my muse.. My worst distraction. Damn was she distracting. How many times had he stopped in the middle of work for her? Simply her calling her name led him to some kind of trance. Then the work would bite him later...his downfall. But it didn't matter to him. She was worth it. Even if she got mad over his work later, he'd let her know that. "My rhythm...and my blues." He'd sing, pulling her closer to him, moving with her. He'd picked up pace by this point. That rhythm, and the song, his heartbeat and hers. It was all perfect at the moment. Even as they called for the cake, he wouldn't stop. No. They'd dance till their song was over.

♕♛ They'd sung together through the whole song, secretly sharing feelings in a code they'd only know. To anyone else they were just lyrics. To them it meant so much more. He saw her tears then, and gently rubbed the small of her back, his hand squeezing hers slightly.

Then she kissed him. His eyes closed as well, and he kissed back right after. That moment. Their song and that kiss. It'd be shared forever, and Set knew that well. She pulled away and his red cheeks got brighter as she spoke. He really liked it, knowing just how much she was his. Knowing that they'd completely given themselves to each other, and that Yuzuki saw it as something even more. He'd kiss her neck then, right over the bangle. It would now be special to him. A symbol of just how she'd enjoyed him keeping her. His beautiful captive. Never would he let her go, or even keep her at arms length. How could he?

She led him to the cake then, grabbing his arm and walking with him. When they saw it, she nestled closer to him. She didn't know did she? Set had an obsession with sweets, loved them. This cake was going to be one of the highlights of the wedding. He then thought of something though.

"Yuzuki, can I eat it with you? Off you? Like this?" He asked, going to the plates set out and taking a piece of the frosting, moving his finger across her lips. Well, he put cake in her face, but probably not the way she'd expected. He then kissed her, his tongue occasionally moving gently to lick her lips, getting everything. It was amazing how he did this with a lack of shyness. He'd just mixed two favorites of his.

Parting from her lips, he gave one more peck, his cheeks a bit red. "I mean, you don't have to if you mind, but..I think I'll like it." He spoke a bit sheepishly.

♕♛ Set was just as heated as she was, the look she gave him didn't help. The love and need in her eyes made something stir in him. God he couldn't wait to get out of this damned place. Even the trip to the islands would be long. He felt her press closer to him, however only one hand moved around her, the other continuing to get cake, so he can enjoy it off her lips. The rest of the guests seemed not to mind, even admired what they were doing. At least it was something different than the traditional cake wars. Occasional giggles and amused glances left the guests, however they wouldn't dare interrupt them.

Eventually, when more than enough of the cake was finished, he moved both of his arms around his wife. His wife...heh, he'd never get used to that. "We should...leave, Yuzuki. Come on. Let's say bye to the guests and leave the kids with Oka-san for a week..." He'd speak softly to her, his eyes reflecting her need. "I want you to myself." His smile was small, blush still there, lips kissing her neck and nipping softly at her ear in between words.

People had already begun to gather near the exit, waiting for the newly wed couple to take their leave. Others were either with Noctis, Hitomi, or Hideki, discussing the kids and the family. While once closed off to even Yuzuki, Noctis answered with polite smiles and laughs, enjoying himself. He was only such a way with family. He stayed near the kids the entire time the kids ate, speaking with Hideki and Hitomi most the time. They talked about which child took more
after the father or mother.

Things were peaceful. Set could enjoy this. He knew that in a few years, when the shinigami had been restored and the Soul Society was repaired that he'd have work to do. That it would mean long hours and stressful nights that could only be soothed by the gentle touches and kisses of his wife or embraces of his children. Before all that happened, he wanted to make the most out of his time in the world of the living.

How would he do that? Well, he'd certainly have to show Yuzuki on the islands.
