Hearts Divided (A TerraXAqua Fanfiction)

Part 11: Radiance

Aqua had to admit as Kairi walked 10ft in front of her, she was beautiful (not that she was THAT overjoyed to be named Flower Girl AND Brides Maid for her mentor, and friend 😉). Wearing a sky-blue dress with light pink trim and a bright purple flower on the left side of her hair (somehow she could always make pink or purple work) she carried herself gracefully down the aisle using her own Keyblade Destiny's Embrace and an Aero spell, to create a gentle flurry of bright blue and white flower petals falling around the wedding train as it proceeded slowly. Aqua couldn't help but be amazed at the thought of the tiny girl with a white flower she met all those years ago, and seeing the bold young woman before her now. Either Sora or Riku had better get their act together soon before some other handsome young man catches her eye 😜. Aqua smiled, casting her gaze to her own handsome (old) man ahead who offered her her own Happily Ever After!

With a tiny swell of pride, she had to inwardly admit her own dress was nothing to scoff at either. An elegant, shoulderless Midnight-Blue free-flowing dress, that seemed to shimmer with stars of its own, decorated with white trim and connected by pink straps connected to a black choker, that didn't show majorly too much (or too little) cleavage. And in the centre of those straps was her Wayfinder, the very same emblam of three she made for herself, Terra and Ventus prior to hers and Terra's Mark of Mastery Exam, the symbol of their eternal friendship. This along with the light blue veil covering her face, as well as her white armlets and her heart brooch binding a white belt around her middle as a buckle was vaguely reminiscent of her standard Key-bearer garb, but all the more beautiful (thank you Fairy Godmother and mice!)! In both hands she held a mixed bouquet of white, blue and purple flowers, with a single red one so like the one Terra brought back for her from his travels during their training days, which completed the ensemble with a radiant splendor. "Oooooos" and "Aaaaaas" could be heard from both sides as she walked with her head held high.

To her right, the director of the old orphanage (and the closest she had ever known to a father-figure before Master Eraqas), walked proudly with her arm wrapped loosely around his as he prepared himself for giving her away. To her left, as she walked near, she glimpsed Master Merlin among the seats holding what looked like a modern video camera. She could only just hear him mummuring what sounded like "No matter how many times, just as beautiful!" As she was about to pass, she just caught sight of him conjuring a handkerchief, which was promptly stolen by Fairy Godmother next to him to dab her eyes, before it was stolen by Aerith next to her, who blew her nose in it loudly.

The congregation surrounding Aqua was not what most would consider an absolute blow out but that was OK. These were the precious few allowed to know of the existence of other worlds without upsetting the worlds' order. Also the precious few she considered as family. Though she couldn't help but wonder how Terra felt now, among so many faces old and new, none of them from his own people, his own family. Aqua mentally (and physically) shook her head (earning a couple more 'oooos' from the back seats). NO, these ARE His people and His family, and She IS his future, which she couldn't wait to fulfil. After a few more rows of smiling faces and thumbs up, Kairi recalled her Keyblade and took her position while the director (somewhat reluctantly) released Aqua's arm, allowing her to stand before and face her future husband.

Aqua gazed into his eyes through her veil for a while. Terra gazed into her eyes through her veil for a while. Apparently, it was more than a while when Master Yen Sid cleared his throat loudly.

A/N: Sorry there are more wedding chapters than I planned but I'm trying to keep the story nicely spaced out. Hope you enjoy the next part!
