Unintentionally In Love [ Akaashi Keiji ]

26 🌤

[Akaashi's point of view]

The floor was white, but an eye catching red carpet was rolled out to a far distance.

I didn't know where it led to, but I still chose to follow the red trail. There was light everywhere around me, but not a figure was seen.

The only noise heard was my footsteps. It seemed as if I was walking to the light at the end of cave. There wasn't any sign to tell me where I was heading to, but I wasn't afraid, instead, I felt curious.

After aimlessly walking for god knows how long, the light seemed to increase its brightness. So I'm getting closer to the "exit" huh.

The red fabric that carpeted the floor seemed to have reached an end. As I head further, the lights blinded me and I shielded my eyes, getting used to the bright contrast before reopening them.

There was flowers everywhere. Amidst the flowery scene, there stood a figure with their back facing me.

I walked towards the figure, and when I got closer, I could see the figure, a girl, in a wedding dress, and it hugged the girl's curves at the right places. Its white cloth flowed down to the ground dotted with dozens of tiny crystals that reflected against the light. Despite the veil, I could identify the familiar long brown hair.

Then I looked down at myself, I was wearing a black tuxedo. My mouth went agape when I realised what scenario I was in. Without further ado, I walked to the girl and stood by her side.

Just like I expected, she was none other than Seiryuu, the girl I unexpectedly fell in love with.

She was holding a bouquet of red roses, a colour that stood out from surroundings. I didn't say a word, just admiring her beauty from aside.

Then she turned to me, with an inviting smile on her gentle features. Her blue eyes glimmered and her soft blue hues seemed so filled with love.

"You're here, Keiji," she breathed out as she stared at me from head to toe.

I couldn't believe this, were we getting married, finally?

Then a solemner appeared out of nowhere, with a book in his hands. I stared at him for a while, then back at Seiryuu again before facing her completely.

"Now then, Aoyama Seiryuu, do you promise to love Akaashi Keiji for the rest of your life, to be with him throughout his ups and downs, to never leave him when he's ill or in his darkest moments, and to always be there to aid him, care for him and love him?" The officiant said.

My heart picked up its speed at the vow, I was nervous at her answer. However she seemed to not get faltered. She opened her mouth, and her answer sent a wave of relief over me.

"I promise."

She then flashed me a wide grin, her eyes closed and that smile made me feel at ease. I held her hands in mine and stroked them with my thumb.

"The groom, do you promise?" The officiant asked, and I could feel his gaze on me.

He didn't have to ask, judging from my current actions, I'm pretty sure everyone could tell what's my answer from them.

"I promise."

From the movies and dramas I've watched with my sister, usually after the vows, the officiant will announce that the couple is a pair of newly weds, after that, he'll give them time to share a kiss.

However, I didn't want to wait.

Without listening to another of his word, my hand reached the back of Seiryuu's head and another one around her lower back. I leaned into her while pulling her towards me as gentle as possible, like a prized possession.
