"Caught In The Storm" *Part 9*

So....did y'all like that cliffhanger?

Because...HAHAHA JK THAT'S NOT THE ENDING.

No, but actually...it was the original ending, but the original ending ended up being REALLY short. So, I wrote an ALTERNATE ending, that actually I really would prefer being the ACTUAL ending, but it had to go a different direction BEFORE the cliffhanger, so....you see my dilemma.

SO---

Here's what we're gonna do:

I'm going to put the ORIGINAL ending first, and then space it out, and put the ALTERNATE [better tbh] ending.

That way, you can have both. And I don't have to backtrack to undo my mistake due to my ADHD brain changing things 24/7.

Kay? Cool.

Also no neither of these are the ACTUAL ending, I refuse to have an odd number of chapters. REFUSE. So chapter 10 will be like an epilogue. Don't look at me like that.

Part 10 (Epilogue is here!)

(This Gif is For the FIRST ending, there's a 2nd GIF that would be SPOILERS.)

Short Simple Ending #1

Raphael sat in his loft drinking scotch, for which he had done most of the day. He wasn't dressed, he hadn’t showered, he was a mess. He didn't know if he could ever come out of this. He sat there wallowing in his regret and sorrow, going over every interaction you two had ever had in your entire lives of knowing each other pinpointing everything he could have done differently. What he should have done differently, and the fact that if he had, you'd be there with him right now instead of getting married to someone you didn't love. He's just in the middle of chastising himself again when he heard a knock at the door.

“Liv, I told you I don't need your help; You can't help me right now!” he yelled to the door

“It's not Liv…”your voice came softly through the door.

His eyes lit up, he raced to the door and threw it open. Revealing you and your wedding dress, sopping wet.

“Well I hope you're happy!” you stomped into his apartment angrily.

“...What would I be happy about? Where is your husband? He asked half jokingly.

“I Don't HAVE a husband,” you spat.

“Really now?” He was enjoying this too much.

“No, I don't. And you just made me humiliate a poor, generous, loving, caring, amazing man. And I just dumped him in front of all of his friends and family, and in front of a million fans on a live stream and now everyone knows and I'm probably laughing stock right now!!!” you screamed angrily, pacing the apartment.

“I did all that?” He smirked.

“Yes, you did!” you crossed your arms as you walked back to him.

“And how did I do that?” He took both of your hands and pulled you closer, still smiling like a Cheshire cat.

“By telling me you love me!!!” you kept your angry face stoic. “How could I marry Nathan when I knew that I was supposed to be with someone else?”

“You couldn't,” He smiled.

“I couldn't…” You whispered as he pulled you even closer and took you in his arms.

“I love you Rafael,” you looked right into his big green eyes. It was the first time you had actually said it to him in those exact words, with all the love and emotion you had always meant it to be.

He stared at you for a moment, running through the words in his mind. He had yelled them so angrily and upset at you last night, not the way you needed. Not the way you deserved.

“I love you too, Y/N,” He smiled, cradling your face before pulling you into another mind blowing kiss; it had only been the second time you had ever kissed in your lives but it felt like you had done it a million times, like it was supposed to be this way. Like it was always supposed to be this way.

You were so glad you stayed through the storm.

Actual" Really Long, Detailed, Funny Ending #2

-----

"But you don't love him,'' Rafael pointed out.

"You don't know that!" You snapped.

"Yes I do!" He shot back.

“How could you possibly know that?”

"Because you have never looked at him the way you look at me!" He exclaimed.

Your face went from upset and sad, to absolute rage after hearing him say that.

"You arrogant, selfish, son of a bitch…" you growled.

"How DARE you say that to me?! How DARE you use my own feelings and how much I loved you against me? Get out," You grabbed his arm and dragged him to the door.

"No look I'm sorry Y/N, but it's true. You don't love him and you're only marrying him to spite me!" He continued to dig himself a hole.

"So what?!” You said without thinking, making you both go wide eyed and silent.

“Are-- Are you serious?” He stammered.

“What if I was?” You now had an idea reeling.

“Wha...why would you…?” His eyes narrowed.

“Let’s say that I don’t believe you right now, which I don’t. And I kick you out of here, and I go through with my wedding in the morning? After ALL of this?” You gestured between the two of you.

"You're drunk, aren't you?" Rafael asked as he eyed the two empty bottles of champagne.

"Don't even-- Maybe," You stood in front of the view of the bottles. You waved it off, trying to focus.

“What if I told you that the ONLY way that I will believe that you are completely serious and NOT just drunk, is if you try and stop my wedding?” You smirked.

“You’re not--” Rafael started to laugh, but you kept a serious face on. “Seriously?”

“I don’t know Rafael, I guess we’ll see tomorrow who’s ‘serious’ and who’s not!” You slammed the door in his face, leaving him dumbfounded.

-------------

The next day you were in the bridal room getting ready; It was pouring rain outside, it seemed appropriate.

Amanda, Kelsey and Olivia were helping you polish your tiara, ironing your dress, fixing your makeup and all that jazz. Hundreds of fans lined outside the church since someone had leaked where you were getting married. Everything came down to this moment. It was supposed to be the biggest day of your life, and you were terrified. But not for the reasons normal brides would be worried about. For one you were hungover, and for two you had made the most idiotic ultimatum to Rafael last night. Why would you DO that?! Why did he bring out the absolute snarkiest, competitive side of you?

“You're shaking,” Amanda noticed.

“It's just nerves, you need some champagne'' Kelsey grabbed a champagne flute and shoved it in your hand; you downed it.

“You're doing the right thing,” Kelsey assured you, as if she knew what you were thinking. You looked at Olivia and Amanda.

“And what do you say?” You genuinely asked them both.

“I think that whatever you want to do is the right thing,'' Olivia replied, squeezing her hand. You smiled thankfully, glancing at the door.

He hadn’t come yet, maybe he was just drunk. Maybe he was lying in his bed hungover, wondering why he went and made an ass out of himself for no reason. Then again, maybe he was waiting for a big crowd for a huge display of affection, God WHY did you do this...

------

When it was time, you walked up to Finn who was waiting at the doors of the chapel. He was dressed in a tuxedo with a baby blue tie.

“You look beautiful, baby girl,” he smiled. “Are you ready to do this?”

“Now or never,” You smiled, still glancing at the exits. You noted the cameras that were set up to livestream this to millions of people; you had totally forgotten about that. Oh god, now if there was a “public display” it wouldn’t just go to the guests, it would be broadcast around the world!

The Wedding March began to play as the chapel doors opened. You proceeded to walk down the aisle and looked at everyone watching you. All of your past and present family from the SVU squad was there. Grandpa Kragen and Grandpa Munch, Uncle Brian, Uncle Tucker, etc.

Then you looked at Nathan's family, a bunch of white rich stuffy but welcoming people. You noticed all of the crowds lining outside the windows of the church cheering you on, some crying, some holding signs. Then you looked at Nathan waiting for you at the end of the aisle smiling proudly. He really did love you.

You reached the end of the aisle and took Nathan's hands.

“Dearly beloved, we're gathered here today…”

The Preacher went on through the normal wedding exchanges until he got to “the” line..

“If anyone here has any reason that these two should not be wed, please speak now or forever hold your peace,” The preacher announced as you held your breath.

You anxiously looked around the chapel, looking for any sign of Rafael. Maybe he had snuck in the back, or was hiding behind a lady with a hat. He was going to come, wasn’t he? Maybe you were right, maybe you were right along.

….Nothing. He wasn’t there. He didn’t come…

You felt your heart shatter, you were officially dead inside. And now the husk of you was being married off to this poor man.

“Do you Nathan Lee Price, take YN to be your lovely wedded wife, now and forever, through richer and poorer, sickness and health, before and after you both shall live?

“I do,”

“Y/N, do you take Nathan Lee Price to be your lovely wedded husband, now and forever, through richer and poorer, sickness and health, before and after you both shall live?”

You looked to Nathan, then you looked to your side of the wedding, then you looked to his side, you looked to the fans outside again, you looked to the sky, looked to the ground and then you looked back at Nathan.

"I…"

“NO SHE DOES NOT!!!!”

The chapel doors swung open revealing Rafael dressed in a tuxedo. The entire room gasped in horror, and you tried your best not to run to him right then and there. He ran down the aisle until he reached the altar.

“I’m sorry sir, we’ve already past the--” The preacher started to talk but Rafael put a hand in front of his face.

“I don’t care, padre,” He chortled.

"Cutting it a little close there, counselor," You muttered.

"You're the one who chose to get married during rush hour in New York City, carino," He winked.

“Man, are you serious? Really? You’ve had all this time, and you decide NOW that you want my fiancé?” Nathan asked him in a hushed voice, trying to be discreet.

Rafael however, was NOT trying to be discreet.

“This woman told me last night, if I really loved her, that I would come and stop this wedding,” He was addressing the crowd. “That I would stop her from making the biggest mistake of her life,” He turned to you and Nathan. “Marrying someone she does not love,”

The room gasped again, Nathan’s family looked horrified. Camera phones began filming, fans outside were going NUTS.

“...Is that true, Y/N?” Nathan asked you with the most pitiful look.

“I mean I--” You looked from him to Rafael, who had a huge grin on his face. Well, you DID ask for this.

“I didn’t use those exact words,” You shrugged apologetically. The pastor closed the Bible, the guests were chattering like mad, cameras flashed, the mob outside began to force themselves inside to see the drama.

“I..I can’t believe this, I can’t believe you…” Nathan shook his head in disbelief.

“Nathan I’m really sorry, I just--” You looked at Rafael again; his grin wasn't going anywhere anytime soon. “I had to be sure that he really loved me,”

“So he had to PROVE his love to you, when I have shown it to you EVERY SINGLE DAY?” Nathan started to yell, forgetting about appearances.

“I mean, no-- it’s a whole thing, you wouldn’t understand--” You started to laugh unintentionally, thinking of how you and Rafael had your own twisted sick sense of humor.

“You’re goddamn right I don’t understand!” He continued to yell.

“...She’s a flair for the dramatic Nate, what can I say?” Rafael smirked as he stepped up on the stair you were standing on and wrapped an arm around you. You really hated that you were enjoying this at Nate’s expense but-- Rafael was right. You wanted him to publicly admit it, and he delivered. And you were ecstatic.

“Yeah well, I hope you’re both happy in dramatic HELL,” Nathan spewed before stomping off out of the chapel with his groomsmen quickly tailing him. His side of the wedding began exiting the chapel furiously grumbling and yelling profanities at you.

You glanced at your side of the room, the entire NYPD. They all surprisingly looked very pleased, although some people like Kragen were skeptical about this suave ADA coming in here and sweeping you off your feet. They shook their heads and a few applauded, especially your current family.

“Oh we’re not done folks,” Rafael announced as he grabbed the preacher before he could leave.

“Wha...what now?” You were confused but growing more excited by the second.

“You wanted me to be sure that this is what I wanted,” Rafael took both of your hands. “And I want you to KNOW that this,” He gestured between the two of you. “This is all I will ever want, for the rest of my life. And I want to prove it to you,” He smiled at you and pulled something from his jacket pocket.

“Oh, Rafa you really don’t--” You started to say that stopping this wedding was proof enough for you, but he was already down on his knees.

“Y/N….Will you marry me?” He asked. “....Right now?” He added, gesturing to the preacher. Now it was your side’s turn to gasp loudly again, as you stared at the huge diamond ring Rafael was holding out to you.

Where did he get that? WHEN did he get that? Had he been planning on proposing to you before? A zillion questions ran through your brain but you did your best to quiet them all so you could focus on the ONE question that mattered right now.

“....DUH!” You finally slapped him over the head playfully and grabbed the ring from him. He laughed and slipped it on your finger before pulling you into a beautiful, perfect kiss. Everyone on your side laughed and cheered, happy their baby girl was getting her happy ending.

“Well alright then, I guess let’s start this thing over!” The preacher laughed, opening his Bible once again.

“Rafael Barba, do you take Y/N to be your lovely wedded wife, now and forever, through richer and poorer, sickness and health, before and after you both shall live?” He asked Rafael.

“I do,” Rafael beamed at you.

“Do you--” .

“WAIT,” You put up a hand to stop him, making everyone start to mumble curiously again. Rafael’s face fell.

“...Are you serious? You’re changing your mind?” He muttered anxiously.

“No!” You shook your head. “No I…” You looked at the floor. “God this is so stupid…” You laughed to yourself nervously, not really believing you were actually going to admit this.

“....What?” Rafael raised an eyebrow.

“I um…” You bit your lip. “Oh God…” You turned to the preacher. “Sorry!” He brushed it off.

“Baby what are you--” Rafael was seriously starting to worry.

“Please, please don’t freak out,” You begged him. His eyes remained confused, but soft and understanding.

“Okay…” He gave you a look.

“I um,” You took a deep breath. “I may or may not have learned this...just in case,”

You took another deep breath, and recited the words you had practiced in front of your mirror for MONTHS after you had first met Rafael.

“Yo, Y/N, te tomo a ti, Rafael Barba, como mi esposo,”

Rafael immediately broke into the biggest smile you may have ever seen on him, tears instantly wet his eyes as you spoke.

“Prometo serte fiel en lo próspero y en lo adverso,” You continued, vowing you were NOT going to break down crying.

“en la salud y en la enfermedad, Amarte y respetarte todos los días de mi vida.,” You finished successfully without shedding a tear, unlike Rafael who was a full on hot mess of tears in front of you.

“Baby I…” He shook his head in disbelief. “I can’t believe you did that,” He whispered, tears still catching in his throat.

“I told you,” You bit your lip. “I have always been in love with you,”

“And I am so in love with you,” He grinned, pulling your face into his for “the” kiss.

“Well I guess you can kiss the bride!” The preacher laughed sarcastically as everyone broke into cheers.

You glanced up at the cameras as you walked down the aisle with your new husband. God you hoped that hadn’t blown up in your face, but if it did-- you had your Rafa to hold you through the storm.

[faulty-writes]

i am in love with your writing!! would you mind doing a part 2 of the tensei one? where he regrets letting his fiancée go and wants them back? happy ending please! thank you!!

[Ask and you shall receive. I hope you enjoy!]  Part One: [Here.] 

It had been months since the day Tensei called off your engagement. You had left your engagement ring right where it belonged, on the floor of the Iida Estate. Tensei had arranged for your things to be moved out and though you had trouble, you eventually found an apartment. It was in a rather shady part of Tokyo but it was the best you could on such short notice. Some of the boxes were still unopened, but you didn’t care. 

Your chest ached, that same heavy feeling weighing you down. Every time you looked at your hands you were reminded of the ring that was once there and those happy memories would flood through your mind and the tears would come. You never thought Tensei of all people would hurt you like this. He had made a promise to love you forever, to take care of you. But he changed his mind after going through a tough time. 

You understood some of it, you knew Tensei had a passion for helping others. For being a hero and that was taken away from him, forcing him into early retirement. You knew it couldn’t have been easy. But that was no excuse for hurting you like this, for pushing you away and shattering the only thing that brought you such happiness. Your heart was in so much pain, you wished you could rip it out of your chest. 

Make it stop beating by force or just wished you could somehow feel nothing at all. But you knew that wasn’t possible, well actually it was. With all the different quirks this world possessed, but even so, you knew you would regret it. So the loneliness continued, crying yourself to sleep in an empty and cold bed. Your phone silent, absent of all the loving messages you used to get. The smell of fresh breakfast as you walked down the stairs with Tensei. It was all gone, despite the fact that your ex-fiance had made attempts to contact you. 

At first, it surprised you just as much as it shattered your heart to see those texts. Tensei asking if you were alright, Tensei saying he was sorry, Tensei wondering if you could meet up. But you never replied, almost finding it laughable that he could ask such things to you after what he did. You blocked his number, though you found it the hardest thing you had to do yet. It had been a good month since then and you made sure to block any contacts associated with Tensei as well.

It might seem like an extreme thing to do, but you didn’t have much of a choice. In fact, you didn’t want to talk to anyone. You didn’t want anyone to see you, the only thing you wanted was for this damn heartbreak to go away so you could move on with your life. But each day seemed harder than the next, shouldn’t it be the opposite? You began to wonder if life was just kicking you while you were down. 

You had decided to go shopping, having eaten a massive amount of take out as comfort food for the last couple of weeks. Though it was an uneasy feeling, walking down the street in such a neighborhood. Some of the buildings had boarded up or broken windows and there was graffiti on some brick walls. It was uneasy and you kept your head down the whole time until you arrived at the store. Gathering what you needed in a hurry before walking back out. 

Bags hung from your wrists and your head was facing the ground, watching the cracks in the sidewalk go by. Your stomach was twisting, no surprise you were scared and you just wanted to go back home, to your shitty apartment. But once more, fate showed how cruel it could be and you froze when you heard a voice call out to you. “Hey sweet cheeks!” you gasped, your eyes going wide. 

You wished you could run, but your feet didn’t want to move. Despite the screams in your head telling you to book it, you could hear heavy footsteps behind you, and a scream got stuck in your throat when you felt a muscular arm wrap around your shoulders. Pulling you close and forcing you up against their chest. “Hey cutie, what do you got there?” the strange man questioned and you turned your head, noticing how much of a scumbag he looked like. 

His hair was greasy, he had multiple scars on his face and that overall arrogant vibe he carried was enough to make you sick. “I ...I …” you swallowed hard, feeling your body tremble and the man must have felt it because he then smirked down at you. “Awe, what’s a matter? Don’t be scared, I’m not such a bad guy,” he replied, his voice turning sickeningly sweet which almost made you vomit. “G-Get away from me!” you snapped as you pushed against his chest and stumbled back. 

Your bags hitting the ground, but that was the least of your worries. The man chuckled and leaned up, “Oh you shouldn’t have done that.” he replied, his voice changing from sweet to downright threatening. You felt a shiver go down your spine when you saw his eyes turn red and his muscles grow into something of a monstrous proportion. “W-What is t-this?” you whispered, despite your fear. 

The man chuckled and looked at you, a smirk across his face. “You’re about to find out,” he replied before he raised his arms above his head and you suddenly realized there was a chance you might be getting that wish of your heart to stop beating. He smashed his fists into the ground, causing the pavement to crack apart and despite your best efforts to try and run away. You weren’t fast enough and a piece of pavement had sent you flying. 

You cried as you hit the ground, dirt collecting on your clothes. You groaned, slowly pushing yourself up onto your knees. Hearing the man chuckle from behind you as your eyes watered, this was like the first time you had met Tensei. Some bastard was harassing you and then Ingenium came to your rescue. But it wouldn’t end like that this time and you felt tears begin to roll down your cheeks. 

What was the point of living if you had lost the one person you wanted to live for? You growled and reached up to rub your eyes before shakily standing on your feet. Your eyes narrowed on the muscular man. “Aw, what’s the matter? Did I make you cry? Don’t worry, I’ll fix that!” he shouted as his fists hit the ground again and you once more watched the pavement crack. It was headed straight in your direction, but instead of moving. 

You held your arms out and closed your eyes, maybe your heartbreak would finally end if you just gave up. But before the impact happened, you felt arms wrap around your waist and pull you away. You gasped, your eyes snapping back open and you looked to who was holding you. “Bigshot?” you were in disbelief, though you had met most of the team members that made up Team Idaten. 

You gasped as your head turned back and you saw the rest of the team which included Enigma and Onemu Shinya, as well as a few unnamed sidekicks. Bigshot created distance between your attacker and yourself before releasing you. “Are you okay?” he questioned as he placed his hands on your shoulders. But you were still in shock, “I ...I …” you started to respond before shaking your head, your hands clenched into fists. 

“What are you even doing here!? Did Tensei put you up to this!? Well you can tell him I didn’t need his help and I don’t need him!” you snapped as you stomped your foot and left Bigshot with his jaw dropped. You huffed and turned to walk away, “W-Wait!” he called out to you, his hand outstretched in your direction. You sighed and turned. “What?” you hissed, clearly wanting to be done with this day already. 

Bigshot dropped his hand and you could see a frown was on his face. “Tensei asked us to find you. He came to us, asking for our help because he was worried about you.” he shared and you laughed, “Worried? WORRIED!? Oh, that’s funny! That’s really funny after what that ...bastard did to me.” you hissed through your clenched teeth. Bigshot looked at you, unsure of what to say. 

“He ...still loves you.” he offered and once more you laughed, your tears coming back. “Nobody who loves you does that …” nobody who loves you would give up on your relationship even when they felt like they weren’t good enough, even when they felt like they didn’t deserve you and damn, did you ever love Tensei. You loved him more than anything in the world, more than life itself, and yet it seems he felt otherwise. 

“I’m leaving, thanks for everything, hero.” you hissed the word and began to walk away, hearing Bigshot call out to you. “He’s waiting for you!” you didn’t know what that meant but you continued back to your apartment, a little pissed that you had nothing to eat now. Money wasted on items that were now laying in the street, more than likely crushed thanks to that muscle asshole. 

You sighed as you somehow managed to make it to your apartment, still covered in dirt and you had a few minor cuts but that was nothing a good long bath couldn’t fix. In fact, you just wanted to clean up and lay down. Food could wait. “Ah, come on!” you growled as you fumbled with your keys, your hands wouldn’t stop trembling. Maybe you were still shaken up from the events of earlier but you eventually managed to unlock your door and step inside. 

Turning to close it, you jumped when you heard someone. “Y/n?” a shiver ran down your spine and you felt your jaw drop, the sound of that voice made your heart skip a beat and you knew immediately who it was. But you refused to look at him and remained facing the door. “T-Tensei …” you growled and your hands curled into fists. “You have a lot of nerve showing up here. Making your former team ...track me down.” even if it was with good intentions in mind. 

You could hear his wheelchair creek as he moved closer to you but he was smart enough to keep his distance. “Y/n ...I didn’t mean to hurt you. I know that’s hard to believe after what I did.” he began, holding his hand to his chest and a painful expression came over his features. “I regret what I said, I regret what I did. I was blinded with my own hatred, my own frustration and I took it out on the one person that I cared about the most.” his words made your chest ache again, did he have to remind you of what he did? 

“You’re covered in dirt,” he said and you felt his fingers brush against your arm. You growled and slapped his hand away, finally turning around to face him. “Like you give a damn about that! Like you give a damn about me! You come here and expect me to suddenly forgive you for what you did? For what you put me through, do you know how much pain and bullshit I’ve had to deal with since …” you let out a sob, clenching your jaw tightly. 

Tensei frowned, he hated the sound of you crying and he had the sudden urge to pull you close. Hold you until all those tears dry away. But he knew he couldn’t right now, “I ...regret letting you go Y/n, it was a mistake and I want to fix it.” you growled and stepped further away from him. “Fix it!? Oh, after months. After kicking me out, after forcing me to go through this fucking bullshit. How are you going to fix it Tensei? Please ...please fucking tell me, I’m dying to hear.” you snapped, tears still falling down your cheeks. 

Tensei took a breath and reached into his pocket, you looked as he held his hand out and your engagement ring was sitting in his palm. “I’ll start by returning this, I have mine on too!” He said as he lifted his other hand and showed you, sure enough, there was his engagement ring. “Tensei …” you trailed off before shaking your head. “Just because you give me my ring back doesn’t mean I accept you or your apology.”  you began, after all, what did that prove? Oh, he found your ring, big deal. 

Tensei lowered his hand, clasping his fingers around the ring. He looked to the side before speaking, “I guess you’re right. Nothing excuses my behavior or what I did, but y/n I love you and I will do anything to prove that.” he said before grabbing onto the arms of his wheelchair and you looked confused as he began to try and stand up. “What? T-Tensei! What are you doing!?” your anger subsided for the moment, you didn’t want him to hurt himself. 

However, he seemed determined and continued, your jaw-dropping as he stood tall and then took one shaky step forward. Your heart was racing, finding yourself being afraid that he would fall or worse and yet your feet refused to move. Just like earlier, you seemed frozen with fear. Tensei took another step forward before stumbling and you gasped, running to catch him, “A-Are you crazy?!” you exclaimed, hating the fact that you worried so much about a man who hurt you so bad. 

But Tensei smiled and grabbed onto your shoulder, “Nonsense! I got these hydraulic leg braces from Mei Hatsume at UA. She said they would be hard to get used to, but I …” he paused as he looked down at you, a smile coming to his face. “I wanted to be able to prove to you …to myself that I can be the man you deserve and if that meant getting used to a semi-permanent attachment well that’s just how it’s going to be.” you looked at him with disbelief. 

“You ...you got leg braces for me?” you questioned and Tensei chuckled before nodding. “When I realized I made a mistake, I wanted to do anything to get you back,” he said before stabilizing himself, though his legs shook underneath his weight. “Including being able to walk down that aisle to marry the love of my life. So ...what do you say?” Tensei said, grinning as he held up the ring. You swallowed hard, you didn’t want to forgive him. You refused to. 

“T-This doesn’t make up for what you did,” you replied, your voice is a whisper and Tensei frowned. “I know, but …” he grabbed your hand and gently slid the ring onto your finger. “I’ll have the rest of my life as your husband to make up for it, so …” you held your breath as he slowly bent down on his knee. Which took some time, his legs, and the bracers having to work together slowly. 

“Y/n will you do me the honor of making me the happiest man alive and become an official part of the Iida family.” he paused before taking a deep breath and you noticed the red tint that filled his cheeks, somehow it made you smile. “Will you marry me y/n?” you pressed your lips together, feeling your heart beat faster. Despite everything he had done, he still came back to you and he still wanted to marry you. Was that enough to prove how sorry he was? You weren’t sure, but you opened your mouth to speak. 

“Yes.” you said hesitantly, “I’ll marry you Tensei.”
