Chapter 6: Marry Me by Train

Their hands moved swiftly in shuffling their decks before placing them onto the deck slot. Kai and Aichi then drew their five starting cards; and mulligan if they had to.

"Okay! Kai-kun, I'm ready!" Aichi chirped. It was just an ordinary day at Card Capital. Sometime earlier in spotting Kai at one of the tables, Aichi hopped over to innocently steal Kai away from Miwa to cardfight the brunet. And the blonde did not mind at all as he was left alone to freely flirt with Misaki. Kai also didn't mind being dragged by the hand by Aichi to a vacant standing table.

Lifting his gaze from his starting hand for his emerald orbs to meet Aichi's azure orbs, Kai's lips automatically curved into a smirk signaling that he was ready as the other. Keeping his eyes locked with Aichi's, his features soon softened with his heart melting inside his chest. Aichi didn't notice the change of Kai's expression as he took the first move. Just being with Aichi and just the boy's presence affects Kai, with a sudden warmth enveloping Kai every time when he catches a glimpse of Aichi's cuteness and smiling innocence.

Forever can never be long enough for me

To feel like I've had long enough with you

Forget the world now, we won't let them see

But there's one thing left to do

Kai didn't want this warm feeling to end. He wanted it to last forever. He had enough of anguish, bitterness, and resentment built by his past. With Aichi by his side, all of those negative emotions erode out of him.

Now that the weight has lifted

Love has surely shifted my way

Marry me

Today and every day

Marry me

If I ever get the nerve to say "Hello" in this cafe

Say you will

Mm-hmm

Say you will

Mm-hmm

Kai voiced a phrase in his mind that he shared with Aichi on that very day and hoped to share it with him again, 'Picture It". The image Kai wanted Aichi to imagine: cherry blossom petals raining down the capital city of United Sanctuary on Cray. Behind closed doors of a tall majestic building, a long red carpet outlined with gold lead the path towards an altar. A ribbon of white and bouquet adorned on the rows of benches lined on each side of the red carpet. Everyone, from Units and Kai and Aichi's human friends, was seated at those benches.

Together can never be close enough for me

To feel like I am close enough to you

You wear white and I'll wear out the words "I love you"

And you're beautiful

At the front of the altar, Kai and Aichi stood facing each other before the very Unit that brought them together at a young age, Blaster Blade. It was insisted that the Paladin be the one to marry them to parallel their first meeting as he was their symbol of their bonds.

Vows were exchanged between the couple as well as wedding bands before sharing a gentle, passionate kiss.

Now that the wait is over

And love has finally shown her my way

Promise me

You'll always be

Happy by my side

I promise to

Sing to you

When all the music dies

Meanwhile, in reality, Aichi glanced up and cocked his head a little. He stared at Kai with concern guessing the brunet was lost in thought over something. Aichi was evidently oblivious to Kai's daydream.

"Kai-kun?"

Marry me
