You look out, your reflection barely recognizable on the plane of widow glass.
You're sitting in one of those hip Korean style cafes, the type that used bamboo straws and served Korean pastries with Italian cappuccino.
Your mind is occupied, in a week you would be a married man. You hear the sounds of young woman eagerly talking. They were planning your wedding.
"I'll be the DJ!," Bae trumpets out, puffing out her chest with her hands on her hip, a piece of white frosting on the edge of her lips.
"Alright Bae, but please keep the music appropriate okay? It's supposed to be a wedding party not a club house." Fauna's soothing and soft motherly voice intones out, tempering the excitement of the embodiment of Chaos.
"That means Mumei and me will handle catering right?," Sana, the large chocolate skinned bundle of joy was slowly recovering from a tragedy, Kronii begged you to let her help out so she would have something to do. She didn't have to beg at all.
"Berries?," that simple statement managed to elicit giggles from the rest of the Council, except for Kronii of course who just groaned out quietly, but even so it was with a smile on her face.
"Anon?" Your mind snaps back to reality, Kronii's blue eyes falling on you. She noticed how out of it you were. All of Council were looking at you.
"Oh don't mind me, you seem to be on top of things. Could have planned it earlier but well we don't have much choice considering the circumstances," you say while staring down at Kronii's belly, it was bulging out under her white sun dress. Nothing like a surprise pregnancy to kickstart some last minute wedding planning.
Kronii gives you a smile, a smile like the thousand more she will give you for the rest of your light together, but even so it's power over your soul will never fade no matter how much she does so.
"Don't worry anon! We know you're not much of an earner! We'll be cost effective promise!," Fauna elbows Bae on the ribs, eliciting a yelp of pain from her. They didn't have to be mindful of your financial situation, you were saving up for something like this anyway.
The rest of the afternoon passed by quick, the four other members of the council finalizing the details of the wedding, giving you the timetable and more importantly the costs.
Kronii quietly looks at them with a blissful look on her face, friends, this was what she wanted for the longest time. You were happy for her too.
You raise a brow, you feel her hand over yours, she rubs against it then brings it over to her. She lets your hand rest over her abdomen, so you could feel the life that was developing inside of her. Your fingers interlock, your engagement rings shining together.
The two of you listened intently to the excited conversations of the Council, letting the stress of arranging a wedding to fall on more extroverted people. All that mattered for the both of you was the life you were going to live after.
The three of you.
