A/N: Well, the TCP section is certainly lacking in quantity, and, to be frank, I am very surprised. I absolutely love this series! …Actually, I kind of just love Nakamura, in general. Anyways, please enjoy this fic, and I encourage everyone to contribute their own to the archives!

Disclaimer: I do not own Tokyo Crazy Paradise. If I did, it would probably burst into flames out of its badness.

Ever After

Tsukasa released the breath that she had held throughout the ceremony, finally slipping into a state of tired relaxation. When she felt his presence behind her, she leaned against him, letting her eyes slide shut.

"Tired?" She hummed in agreement, and he gave a low chuckle that she could feel reverberating in his chest. "I can't possibly see why."

"I had to greet over two hundred people, endure my brothers' speeches, dance for the better part of two hours, and change my outfit five times. You just had to change into a suit and look important."

"Looking important can take a lot of work." She gave him a look and pushed away, beginning to untie the elaborate obi behind her back. Ryuji wordlessly moved her hands away and undid the intricate knot himself, turning her around after removing the tie. Tsukasa slipped off the outer kimono and worked on the next one, eager to shed the heavy layers of silk. She stopped when she was down to the last one. Ryuji raised an eyebrow.

She sighed. "It's too hot for the other ones, Ryugi. Whose idea was it to do this in the middle of the summer?!"

"Yours." The little woman shot a glare at him and crossed her arms, looking away. She relaxed, though, when she felt his arms wind around her cinched waist, pulling her into his chest. In turn, she reached up around his neck. "Tsukasa."

"Yeah?"

"We're married, now."

Tsukasa beamed, and she felt tears prick at her eyes when she met his. "Yeah."

A rare smile stretched across Ryuji's lips. He leaned his forehead against his wife's. "You're finally mine."

"I have been for a long time."

His lips met hers, and the couple melded against each other perfectly, clutching each other with an air of desperation. They broke apart for air, breathing heavily. Tsukasa gazed at him with clouded eyes.

"I love you." Ryuji pressed kissed her chastely.

"Yeah."
