All at Once -Day 10 #1 | Proposal / Wedding- (Aizawa x f!Reader)

Summary: The day finally came. You two spent the morning apart, as per tradition, getting ready separately and with your people of honor. Somehow intrinsically- perhaps through such a deeply shared love- you two were feeling the same anxieties and worries. But fortunately, you both had the best possible people with you to calm those nerves- that is, until it was time for the First Look.

Note: I really love this prompt and have been dying to write this Aizawa fluff for like 3 weeks… so I’m doing it twice and replacing the prompt I really didn’t want to do. It begins focusing on Aizawa and then shifts to focusing on you, ending on you both, so hopefully it’s not confusingly written. :) The location and described is based entirely off of Hotel New Otani’s Japanese Garden and Rose Garden!

Theme Song: All This Time - OneRepublic

Reader: Female

Words: 3522

All this time, we were waiting for each other…

“Shouta, it wouldn’t kill you to smile on your wedding day.” Even with his eyes focused on the bowtie he was fixing, Hizashi could tell that the groom was still scowling. The last time he noticed his best friend smiling was the night prior at the rehearsal dinner when you were recounting your first date and kiss with the unmistakable glow of a woman in love. The way you spoke was captivating and could make even the biggest killjoy swoon over Aizawa- which was a testament to your love for him, considering the hero came off as one of the least lovable people ever. He was always curt, had little regard for social expectations, was borderline ruthless as a teacher with a reputation for expelling students, and somehow you made him seem like the most caring and considerate person- all because he was to you.

“Seriously, how have you never learned to tie a bowtie in all your years?” he mumbled to himself, undoing the black strip to completely start over. How Aizawa managed to get dressed so quickly would have been a surprise if it wasn’t for how poorly it was done. “You can manage a suit and tie just fine for U.A. news appearances, b-”

“Hizashi, stop.” It wasn’t anger that led him to take the hands at his neck and just hold them for a moment. His voice was stern, and the exasperation well disguised, but they knew each other well enough to catch subtleties like this. The blond brought his eyes to the groom’s face and sighed, a soft smile forming on his lips afterwards. How did he not realize that his best friend was incredibly nervous? He nodded in understanding as Aizawa lowered his hands so he could get the bowtie done. As the ends were pulled tight, Yamada took a step back to make sure it was fastened straightly and evenly, then smiled again to his friend who still didn’t have so much as a trace of joy or excitement in his expression.

Despite everything running on time and according to the itinerary drawn up by the wedding planner, the stress of such an important day was still getting to the Erasure Hero. For you, he agreed to have a white wedding instead of pushing for a simple and legal marriage. And for you, he would get through this formality on the principle of love alone. Technically, the paperwork was done and you two were already married, but he would never deny you the ceremony and celebration of a wedding. He took a deep breath, the collar and tie noticeable around his neck, but not tight. His best man certainly knew what he was doing, and he could not be more grateful to have him there.

Waiting for Yamada, Aizawa began to tidy up, which was exactly why the blond took his time in the first place. From the corner of his eyes, he watched as the groom carefully made sure that he didn’t miss a spot when shaving, tucked his shirt in properly and double checked that he didn’t mis-button it, adjusted the pocket square over his breast, and made sure his formal boots were unscuffed and polished. This level of preparation for an event was something he wasn’t used to, and Yamada couldn’t help but smile to himself at how out of place his fellow teacher was. It was like watching a child trying to imitate their parent- hardly succeeding even on a superficial level- and it was incredibly endearing. He’d have to tell you about it at the reception after everyone was a few drinks in.

“What if she changes her mind..?”

Yamada looked away from the mirror he was fixing his bowtie in front of and saw Aizawa standing at the floor length window, his shoulder pressed against the glass as he stared out at the garden below. The weather was perfect outside, and everything was at its best possible scenario. So far, there’d been no complications; the wedding planner had everything under control, and it seemed like even the stars aligned for your special day to be flawless. Yet despite this, the man getting married was more stressed, nervous, and unsure of himself than ever.

The groom was so engrossed in his worry that even though he could see the blond walking up to join him at the window, it didn’t entirely register with him. He stared vacantly at the lushous landscape below, the deep blue of the man-made pond contrasting the bright and lively green of the trees and brush.

“She’s not going to get cold feet,” Yamada assured him, placing his hand on his shoulder.

As if that touch brought him back from his thoughts, he sighed and shook his head slightly, looking to his best friend. While he struggled with what to say, his dark eyes gazed through the orange lenses that Yamada wore, expressing the genuine fear he had. What if you suddenly realized you deserved more than him and what he could give you? What if you decided that he didn’t make you happy anymore? What if in five years, you looked back at today and thought it was all a mistake?

“But what if-”

“What if today is the happiest day of her life so far?” Yamada’s question hung in the air, silencing his friend of over twenty years. He let the quietness settle for a moment as he moved to stand in front of the window, looking down at the Japanese garden. “Shouta, what if it could be the happiest day of yours, too?” The question served to remind the hero that today wasn’t just about you and your happiness- it was also about his.

Before the weight of his best man’s words really hit him, a knock interrupted them as the wedding planner came to retrieve him for the First Look down in the Rose Garden. You had gone to great lengths to keep everything about your wedding appearance a secret for this special moment. From your dress and jewelry to your hairstyle and makeup choices, your future husband had no idea what to expect other than something white and your irrefutable beauty. The two men followed the wedding planner, listening to them fill in everything of relevance and how this wedding has gone smoother than almost all the other ones they’ve planned in recent years. But even though he was hearing the words, Aizawa was hardly paying attention, his chest tight and stomach knotted as his feet moved automatically.

The wedding planner escorted the groom to the gazebo at the center of the garden surrounded by tens of thousands of red roses. They had walked down one of the three clear paths, and Aizawa was positioned with his back to the single, rose-laden trail that you would be walking down. His best man gave him a bright smile and two encouraging thumbs up as he and the wedding planner left him underneath the sheer, white drapes of the rosy canopy, stepping off to the outskirts of the garden while the photographer did his magic in catching the groom just moments before seeing his bride for the first time.

During all of this, you shared in his anxiety without realizing it. Early in the morning, you and your person of honor were escorted to the Queen’s Room of the resort hotel you just had to have your wedding at. The room exclusive to brides and their wedding party was beautifully decorated with the intention of creating the perfect backdrop and environment for those classic getting ready photos. Your dress and veil were fitted on a mannequin when you arrived, and meticulously pressed and steamed to guarantee its perfect condition for this once in a lifetime experience.

Even though your person of honor made sure to provide breakfast for you, you couldn’t eat a bite. You tried, but your stomach was filled to the brim with butterflies, the excess pouring into your chest. At most, you were able to drink some water, which was better than nothing at all. Your photographer, hairdresser, and makeup artist met you in the room and wasted no time in pampering you and your best friend, trying to help ease your anxiety away. After all, you were not the first nervous bride they’ve worked with.

“Darling, you have nothing to worry about!” the gentleman working your hair exclaimed. He stood behind you as you both faced the mirror, and gestured to your face. “You have such a natural loveliness, and today, you will look like a goddess to your husband-to-be… though I’m sure you already do every day to him.” The bright smile on his lips was sincere as he resumed doting on your hair. You tried your best to smile at his words, and your person of honor chuckled at how distressed you managed to look, placing their hand on your wrist. Even the photographer smirked as she documented your transformation.

“Really, (Y/N), there’s nothing to worry about. Everything’s going to be perfect today,” they reassured you. As much as you wanted to believe them- and you did to some extent- your body still didn’t ease up on the physical expressions of your worry.

Once your hair was finished, your makeup was next while the hairdresser worked on your friend. The morning was incredibly smooth with the professionals taking care of you, and by the time they were done, you were just barely more confident and ready. As they left, they hugged you and patted your back, telling you over and over that you were stunning and lovely, reminding you that no matter what happened, you were still going to be a beautiful sight to behold. But most importantly, they reminded you that weddings weren’t the pinnacles of love, and that what you shared with the man you wanted to spend the rest of your life with was not something that could be captured in a legal document or secular celebration.

You exhaled deeply when you were alone with your person of honor and photographer. Good intentions only went so far, and the reassurance from people who were essentially strangers was a bit stifling and overwhelming. With your eyes closed, you sank back into the salon-styled chair you had been in for hours between the hair and makeup. Hands gently came to your shoulders and squeezed them, giving you a simple but comforting massage.

“What’s on your mind?” your person of honor asked as their hands slipped away from you and they began to change from their pajamas into the wedding outfit you two picked together.

You sighed again before opening your eyes, staring at yourself in the mirror with an almost sullen expression. Yes, you looked lovely- the hairdresser and makeup artist were remarkable professionals. And somehow, you still looked like yourself; it wasn’t as if you were transformed into some celebrity look-alike. But undermining all of that was the anxiety of self-doubt.

“I’m… I’m kind of scared,” you admitted softly, both to your friend and finally to yourself, forgetting that the photographer was still present with how much else was on your mind. “It’s not like I have any doubts about Shouta or anything. It’s just...” Slowly you stood up and walked to the mannequin wearing your wedding attire and gently stroked the veil. “...What if it doesn’t get any better than this?”

“What do you mean, (Y/N)?”

For a moment, you didn’t say anything. Your eyes were focused on the subtle accents on the fabric- it was as if the hem was laced with diamond dust that was only noticeable in just the right light.

“I mean… What if this is the happiest day of our lives, and nothing else feels this wonderful going forward? What if this is the peak of it all? Of our relationship and lives together?” Your hand fell from the veil as you turned around to face your friend. They gazed at you silently for a moment before coming over to you and pulling you into a tight hug that slowly but surely began to ground you in reality, taking your thoughts from the “what if”s that dared to plague you on today of all days.

“It’s not going to be,” they whispered to you. “Imagine how wonderful it will be tomorrow, waking up together for the first time as husband and wife... Or how amazing it’ll feel to introduce him as your husband from now on, and how all the times you’ve practiced signing Aizawa, instead of what’s now going to be your maiden name, isn’t just practice anymore.” They paused and pulled back from the hug, taking your hands and smiling at you as they continued. “Can you imagine how ecstatic you’ll both be years from now when you tell him that you’re pregnant? Or when you get to hear the heartbeat for the first time and see the ultrasound? (Y/N), imagine how happy you’ll both be after the delivery. And then all the times you’ll catch him being the perfect father you’ve always gushed about seeing him as…”

Your best friend had a way with words, and right now was one of the most prime examples on why they were your person of honor instead of anyone else. As you began to tear up, they let go of your hands, got a tissue, and very delicately and carefully dabbed the corners of your eyes so that your makeup remained flawless. You bowed your head, nodding in response as you pulled your emotions back and composed yourself.

“You’re right… This is just the beginning of the countless indescribably happy moments to come.”

They smiled at you, met with one in return. Even with your heart pounding, you two began to joke and lighten the mood, and throughout this entire time, your photographer captured the beautiful and candid moments. Once your person of honor was all dressed, you two began on the task of getting you laced up in your wedding gown. Having practiced tying your corset several times, it only took one go to get it done perfectly. Final accents were added, and then, at last, your veil was slid into place. When you were ready, your photographer sent a message to their partner who was already waiting with the groom.

As you arrived at the Rose Garden, your person of honor joined Yamada and the wedding planner at the outskirts. Your photographer brought you to the beginning of the rose trail that led to the love of your life and positioned you. She and her partner masterfully took pictures that placed you and Aizawa in varying backgrounds and foregrounds of each other- catching the excitement, nervousness, and budding giddiness in your expressions. They then stationed themselves to catch both of your reactions when you were finally signaled to actually have your First Look.

Silence settled as everything became perfectly still. There was no wind, and everyone waited with bated breath. It was all on you and your timing now. Taking one last deep breath, you began to walk down the path leading to Aizawa that was made just for you. In the quietness, each click of your high heels was audible, even to the hero several paces ahead of you. You saw his head just barely lift as he took a deep breath, your eyes focused on the back of his head as you stepped through the rose petals.

When you were just over halfway there, the photographer facing you and your future husband gave him the signal to turn around.

Everything leading up to this moment had been anxiety and stress provoking for Aizawa. He was never the biggest fan of weddings, avoiding them as much as possible because they seemed so frivolous. But when you two talked about getting married, he didn’t shut out the idea of having one- and now, the first wedding he attended in his adult life was his own. At the signal, he closed his eyes and took one more deep breath, turning around slowly and opening his eyes.

Nothing could have prepared him for this.

It wasn’t like the tunnel-vision that videos and clips would have you believe. His eyes didn’t start at the ground and come up to your face. When he opened his eyes, he saw you- all of you- and his heart stopped. Everything stopped. Everything, except for you. Even with the sheer veil folded over your face, he could see the glow of your smile despite the nervousness you both shared. The soft blush on your cheeks, the gleam in your eye- was that a tear? You were so radiant while simultaneously shy and overwhelmed. So many feelings were fighting to show themselves on your face- and Aizawa could relate.

In fact, he had no idea what expression he was making as he gazed at you, unable to look away. But you had never seen it before- not even when you said ‘yes’ to being his girlfriend or when you became his fiancée. His mouth hung open, lips parted as he took shallow breaths. Your hairstylist was right- he did think you looked even more like a goddess than ever before, and he had always admired your beauty.

As each click of your heels brought you closer, he finally closed his mouth, smiling for the first time. Seeing the unmistakable love and happiness on his face made you look away from him with the brightest grin and sweetest blush, and the impossible happened: he fell more in love with you.

All at once, the tightness in your chests and stomachs loosened. The heaviness that weighed down your joy and excitement was lifted from both of you. Aizawa’s smile trembled as quiet tears welled in his eyes before escaping past his lashes and down his cheeks. You had never seen anyone cry so elegantly. His body didn’t shake with sobs, nothing ran and he made no sniffles. The only evidence of his crying at all were the tears that fell with each slow and steady blink. Nothing could make him look away from you.

Seeing the man you loved more than anything else in the world so overwhelmed by emotion made the tears of happiness you tried desperately to deny slip down your cheeks. Your eyes were glued to his face- this was one of the rare occasions when he was clean shaven and the dark bags under his eyes weren’t as pronounced. He looked healthy and happy and undeniably handsome, and your heart ached even more for him.

Stopping before him, you both shared a moment of unspoken relief and clarity. You gazed up into his black eyes, seeing your whole life and future in them as he stared right back into his. His hands came to your veil and delicately lifted it up, placing it over your hair, handling it and you as if you were the most fragile flower. The backs of his knuckles ever so gently grazed your cheeks before he held them with the softest fingertips. There were no words that could express even a fragment of how he felt, so he closed his eyes and kissed you underneath the rose spangled gazebo, his hands trailing down your neck as you lifted your arms and wrapped them around his. With a tender pull, you were fully drawn into his embrace.

Without warning, Aizawa guided your kiss in a slight shift and swept you off your feet. One arm hugged your legs beneath the knees, and the other supported your back as you kept your arms around his neck. Your surprised gasp broke the kiss as you looked up at him from your carried position, his enamored and joyful smile greeting you. You kept one arm around his neck while your hand came to his cheek, thumb stroking his skin with your deepest affections and passing over his lips, receiving a small kiss in the process.

“Shouta…” You broke the silence, his name the only word you could find on your tongue.

In his characteristic quietness, he said nothing, but kissed you again amidst the endless roses surrounding you. When he pulled back and gazed down at you, he smirked and brushed his nose against yours before kissing it with the sweetest sounding chuckle you’ve ever heard.

“We’ve only just begun, dearest.”

Aizawa smiled to you as he set you down and kissed your forehead. The nervousness that plagued you both, the doubts and irrationality- they were all long gone, feeling like memories of a different day, and a different life altogether. Complete confidence in each other and the single, shared life ahead of you overrode all your fears and calmed the anxious thoughts and whispers that once tightened your hearts, making way for the weightless euphoria of your wedding day to engulf you both in perfect bliss.

And deep down, you knew it was only going to continue getting better from this day forward, as husband and wife.

...We got all this love, can’t waste it on another.
