"Ahh.. like a flower in the wind, so it's petals shall sway."
Petals of illuminating amber shone in the nighttime, flower blooms arising from their leafy cocoons in a coordinated dance. The wind which lifted said buds came from a giant, though playful creature. It was simply a deer, white flecks remaining along it's pelt, reminding you of it's youth. It's large antlers had many jewels and treasures dangling from it, primarily made of pure gold and assorted gemstones. "Easy, Kaze." You reminded the beast. You sat upon a branch, cloaked from moonlight by canopies of trees. Your legs dangled off of the edge, happily swinging them about as wind currents began to drift upwards. The name Kaze stems from the Japanese word for "wind". This name was none other than your partner(Mayoi)'s idea.
Speaking of he, an elegant blur of deep, indigo motion lifted into the wind. He took a gentle landing upon the tree branch, somehow balancing himself enough to stand there. The fairy-like glow of the floating flowers gave off a warm hue that complimented Mayoi's beautiful complexion. You hauled yourself to your feet, accepting Mayoi's hands in yours. He wore a simplistic, though frilly, outfit that reminded you of a pirate's attire. He had long removed his black vest that he typically wears over his white top. You marveled at the sight before sliding a trusting palm into his hand, a grin on your features.
"Ooh, Kaze~!" You beckoned the beast in a playful tone of voice. The whimsical deer scampered towards the tree, bouts of amber petals soaring about in it's wake. As yet another current of wind brewed, you wrapped your arm around Mayoi's waist. He wrapped his arms around you. "Eek—! Not too fast, please..!" He pleaded. "Got it," you stepped off of the branch, the wind of the oversized beast gifting you the ability to stand midair. The deer circled once or twice below you and Mayoi's feet, afterwards craning it's head upwards to view the two. It's large, black hues shone with the glistening flowers that twinkled like small embers in the night.
Dancing upon naught but air, you happily took Mayoi's hands in yours as a signal for him to join you. "W-wait, please—!" You slowed your pace, marveling at the drifting flowers. "Look, Mayoi," you then glanced at him. Your gaze trained upon him as he looked out to the flowers, his expression beginning to lift from distraught to pure bliss. His oceanic hues shimmered, reflecting each little light. An entire landscape had begun to paint on his pupil, his iris's shimmering unnaturally. You laughed as he craned his head towards you, a sharp-toothed smile on his features. "Aren't they beautiful?" "Yes! Yes, they are," he heaved a pleasant sigh. "Please, let's continue.. only if you don't mind, I'd never force you to dance with something like me..!" "Shh, I brought you out here," you reminded him. "Wanna follow me?" "Lead the way.." the sheepish Mayoi whispered.
Your entire vision blurred with vibrant, orange hues. Mayoi's entire complexion became like crystal, his eyes glittering with thousands of small dots of blue colors swimming in his hues. His pupils immediately grew rounder as you leapt from current to current, though you did this completely on impulse alone. You could not sense, nor see, the wind. All you could do was leap and pray you'd made the right decision. Your fingers locked with Mayoi's, palms pressed together to stay close. One hand lifted upwards, with the other pulling Mayoi closer to your chest. He meekly smiled at you, cheeks dusting red in the process. With his braid afloat in the cool breeze to combat the warmth of the summer night, Mayoi slowly fell into a gentle sway with you in tow. The two slow-danced together in the gusts of wind currents that was invisible to the human eye. In that moment, where twirls of stray indigo hair flew about, you'd fallen in love all over again. The shine of the wedding ring upon Mayoi's finger reminded you of your fortune. You'd come across such a rare individual, fallen in love, and married. That's incredible.
Perhaps you got lucky, although Mayoi would say the same— he would feel insecure if you talked so highly of him that often. In a melodic, unplanned classical dance, you guided your husband along pillars of wind. Pleasant laughter called over the wind as you began laughing at Mayoi's clumsiness whenever switching wind pillars. Mayoi snickered a tad. You'd expected him to entirely freak out and cower in terror, yet there you were, laughing away beside him. It truly seemed as though he'd loosened up around you.
The background of floating flowers and stars was absolutely ethereal. Exhilarated frolicking could be heard from below, where Kaze happily pranced about in the sea of amber flowers. You coiled your arms around Mayoi's waist, halting the dance. Mayoi's hands slid from yours, his arms navigating around your neck. "You're beautiful." You whispered to him. He jolted a tad, unused to such compliments. "I— thank you..!" Cried he. You placed your lips to his. He instantly melted into your kiss, his hips fitting perfectly inside of your palms. Without a moment of hesitation, you pulled from the kiss, gripping Mayoi's waist tightly. "Can I throw you into the air?" "Ahh..?! Please no..!" "Not hurtle you," you laughed awkwardly. "A gentle toss." Reluctant, Mayoi placed his hands on your shoulders. You snatched his waist in your hands, afterwards laughing as loud as humanly possible. "Ready—?!"
"GAAAHH—!"
Screamed Mayoi as you lifted him over your head. You then stepped backwards off of the wind pillar, water droplets from a sudden drizzle began soaring down towards you, landing on your face as you shielded your husband. "Rain." You commented upon landing on Kaze's fuzzy back. "Is it starting to drizzle..?" Questioned Mayoi, one hand extended towards the oncoming rain. You held onto his waist. "Yep," you grinned at him. "You look so pretty in this lighting." "Eh—?! P-pretty?!" Panicked Mayoi, recoiling from you. "Haha, yeah," one hand gingerly caressing his cheek, you leaned into him. Both happily melted into the kiss between happily pined lovers. Once Kaze laid down beneath the tree's yellow foliage, you hoisted Mayoi into your arms bridal style.
Taking a dainty step forth, landing on the green, grassy ground; you backed up to reach the tree's large roots. You seated yourself nearby them, one elbow rested upon said root. "Woo! That was so fun!" "Yes, it was," Mayoi giggled aloud. "I-I love you.." "I love you more, Darling."
The sounds of gentle rain pelted their surroundings, and using a certain spell, the three were safely shielded from lightning and rain. What a lovely night, holding their lover, recalling the days prior to their wedding.. sweet memories.♡
