The wedding was beautiful and after the ceremony, the crew went to the local pub to celebrate while Thomas and I stayed on the beach together. We walked hand in hand down the shore as the sunset over the vast ocean, casting vibrant colors across the dark water. The sounds of the small shore-break mixed with the feel of the soft sea breeze made the moment feel delicate, like a dream.

"I always knew I would marry you," Thomas said to me with a smile. "I have loved you ever since we were children."

"I have loved you too, Thomas," I said to him giving his hand a slight squeeze. "We have certainly been through quite a lot together."

"That we have love," He said with a chuckle. "It has been a wild ride, but we made it through."

The light of the setting sun reflecting off the ocean reflected in Thomas' deep blue eyes and somehow made his eyes look even more beautiful.

The sun had set as Thomas and I walked back to port where his ship was docked. We entered our cabin that was dimly lit by the moon that had risen outside. I fell onto the bed, tired from the day's activities. Thomas looked down at me with a loving smile and a soft laugh.

"You know what?" I said looking up at Thomas as he removed his jacket and dress shirt.

"What is it my love?" He paused and looked back at me.

"We are married now," I said with a huge grin, the realization hitting again for who knows how many times since the ceremony. "Like we are properly husband and wife."

"Yes, we are," Thomas said as he sat down on the bed next to me. "You are officially Mrs. Captain Hiddleston."

He placed his hand on my shoulder and I could see the love in his eyes that he has shown me for so many years. He leaned down and I sat up on my elbows to meet his lips with mine. The kiss was soft and slow. I felt his hand move from my shoulder up my neck until his fingers tangled in the hair on the back of my head. The kiss may have lasted a few seconds or a few minutes, we were both enveloped with each other to tell. When we did pull away for breath we looked into each other's eyes with love and longing.I was still in my wedding dress while Thomas was only in his underwear. I tried to shimmy out of the simple yet elegant dress but I remembered that someone would have to help me out of it. Thomas seemed to catch on to my struggling.

"Allow me," Thomas said and moved behind me on the bed so he could undo the buttons that went down the back of my dress. "We will have this off you in a moment love."

I could feel his fingers brush against my back as he undid the buttons. Once they were all undone Thomas slid the dress off my shoulders gently and placed a kiss on my neck. He then moved in front of me on the bed again as I shed my dress to the wooden floor of our cabin. I was now almost completely bare to his eyes. My lace undergarments were the only thing covering me.

"You look absolutely gorgeous," Thomas said with a breathy tone as his eyes moved up and down my form. "I don't know what I did to deserve you."

We smiled at each other and then leaned in for another kiss, this time it was more heated. One of Thomas' hands held my waist tightly while his other hand ran through my Y/H/C hair. Both of my hands ended up in Thomas' hair as well. My fingers entangling themselves in his dark curls. The kiss was deep and passionate. Our lips and bodies seemed to mold together perfectly. We did eventually pull away from the kiss and looked deep and lovingly into each other's eyes.

"I love you so much," I said slightly out of breath as Thomas lowered me onto my back. "I always have and always will, nothing will ever change that."

"I love you too," He said as he moved above me and looked down into my eyes with a loving smile. "Forever and always."

(Y/N POV)

It has been over a year since Thomas and I were married, and we have already been on so many adventures. I stood on the bow of the ship, looking at the horizon as the crisp sea breeze blew my hair around my face. The vast ocean and endless possibilities lay ahead of us. The sun was reflecting off the sea giving it a glimmering look. I closed my eyes and breathed in the warm air. I felt two arms wrap around my waist as a kiss was placed on the top of my head.

"Hello my love," Thomas said from behind me.

"Hello, Thomas," I said leaning back into his grasp.

We stood there in comfortable silence for a while, just looking at the sea.

"Thank you," I said, breaking the silence.

"Thank me?" Thomas asked. "For what my dear."

"For keeping your promises," I said turning in his arms so I could face him. "Ever since we were young you said we would sail the sea together."

"You should know, love," Thomas began after placing a kiss on my nose. "I never go back on my word."

"That is true," I said with a laugh. "You are a man of your word."

Thomas leaned down to kiss me, which I happily received. We embraced one another, while the wind blowing around as we sail into the horizon and our new life together.
