Curse Of The Snowy Tiger / Fruitbasket fanfic

United At Last

"Come on let us get ready together!" Tohru states pulling me into her room by my forearm.
Without answering I take a seat on the bed as she flees to the closet, pulling out five different kimonos.
"You may have first pick,"she politely offers and I let my eyes scan each one she holds up.
Instantly I am drawn to a pure white kimono with lacy black flowers, I get up taking it in my hands.
"This one." I conclude smiling to myself, I see Tohru smile as well before deciding on a sakura kimono.
After changing she hands a white wolf mask to me, before putting on a pink bunny mask.
If Akito was to ever be an animal, he would be a lonesome wolf. Ferocious and untameable while protecting the ones he loves.
I hum at the thought, wishing deep in my heart I would meet him again tonight under the moon.

In front of me, Kyo and Tohru lead us through the street filled of masked people and sakura petals. Beside me, dressed in white and brown walked Yuki; his eyes lit up by all colors. 
Shigue trails slightly behind by himself staring into the star lit sky.
I find myself searching for an all to familiar man, my heart yearning for him.

"Oh my the fireworks are starting. Let's go get a good spot!" Tohru points to the fireworks before trudging towards the grass. I fall behind still searching, occasionally looking to the fireworks for comfort. But as Yuki's figure fades quickly into the crowd, panic resides with in my heart.
I only stop when a hand meets with my shoulder, a shiver running down my spine as I turn my head to stare into two deep never ending eyes behind a black wolf mask. Relief settles in as I realised whom I look at, I put my hand over top of his before entwining our fingers.
Akito, the big bad wolf gives into my touch rather quickly. 
"Let us sit and watch the fireworks from the hill." He suggests slightly tightening his grip. My heart beats to a quick rhythm, I nod my head letting him take me further away from the world.
On the hill it is just Akito and I.
I huddle close by Akito in the grass, his hand not releasing its grasp.
Together under the moon we watch the fireworks explode among the stars. I swear Akito could hear my vastly beating heart.
"No raw earthly diamond could ever compare to your beauty my dear." Akito's deep voice breaks the silence of the night.  A blush washes over my cheeks, I pull the mask from my face.  Summoning up all my courage; I rub my face into his neck whispering soft heartfelt words.
"Akito I love you, I believe from the first moments my eyes  met yours, my body and soul belonged completely to you."
My heart beat quickens at his soft gasp, his hand entwines from mine before residing on my face.
I let my hand lightly graze up his chest before I grab the bottom of his mask; pulling it up to reveal his stern but handsome face. 
"My darling my love for you will lie within me till death."
His eyes soft, glazed with mercy, look down upon me. The moon to his back, staring down as our witness.
A breath catches in my throat as all time seems to stop, with him the world feels so nonexistent.
His face drew near, oh how much I want to close the distance in between us.
His lips graze mine, stealing the breath caught deep in my lungs. 
Butterflies erupt in my chest as he impatiently presses his soft burning lips to mine.
I put both hands on his face as we pull back from our second kiss.
My heart racing for more of the only man I desire. I pull his face back to mine, closing the distance between our lips once more. His lips passionately meet with mine in a sinful dance.
"Return home with me darling, let me take care of you." He whispers into my lips, one of his hands searching in his pocket.
My eyes widen with surprise as he reveals a silver wedding ring with one large flawless diamond glimmering in the moonlight.
"You are my world and without you I'm afraid I would never love another. Will you do me the honour of becoming my beloved wife? With the moon and stars as my witness let us wed."
I take a few moments to register, catching my breath. All at once I squeal a yes before falling into his arms. His hand finds mine, slipping the ring upon my finger.
"Let's go home." I say placing a single kiss upon his lips to confirm our love.

To my protest upon arrival of the Sohma estate, Akito in his fragile state lifts me up in his arms carrying me through the front door and down the hall to his bedroom. My heart pounding in my chest as he lays me down on his bed. His deep voice fills the silence of the night.
"Let me satisfy you till the end of time, for my dear; I belong to you, only to you, till the end of time."
