The ideal wedding who-knows-when.

[kozvme]

If I have to pledge, I'd like it to be to you.

Haruhi: Mkay! So!

Ashu: The shoot for B's-LOG August issue cover is finishedー♪ Wheet whooo! I had SO much fun! This is the first time the 4 of us pose together, right?

Haruhi: Looks like it! Anyway, aren't these suits insane!? We totally nailed it, didn't we!?

Kitakado: Yes, they look good on us. At first, all 4 of us wearing ties gave off a more formal vibe, but... Yuuta and Momo changing to bow ties was the right choice. Thanks to that I think it became a style that represents us perfectly, where there's playfulness even in the elegance.

Haruhi: I know, right! Kitakado-san and Yuuta-kun's hairstyles are noteworthy for me! Wilder and cooler than usual!

 

Onzai:  I get you. Especially Kitakado, he looks more mature than usual. And... his forehead is shiny.

Kitakado: Is that right? Thanks, Momo.

Ashu: Eeeeh~, it's unfair that you're only talking about Tomo-kun~! What about me? Is mine dry?

Onzai: My bad, Ashu. The area not covered by the fringe is wider for Kitakado, so I unconsciously focused on it. Your forehead...... Yeah. No mistake. It's shiny, too.

Ashu: Yaaay~! My forehead is as shiny as Tomo-kun's!!!

Haruhi: Huh... Hang on. Dang.

Kitakado: Hm? What's wrong, Haruhi?

Haruhi: No, I just realized... that today... I'm the straight man? And everyone is acting like the funny man...?

Kitakado: Funny man?

Ashu: Heh?

Onzai: ...... What do you mean?

Haruhi: Wait! This is scary! You did it on purpose, right Ashu-kun, Onzai-kun?

Onzai: ....….…

Haruhi: No, that straight face! It's totally on purpose!

Onzai: Pft...

Haruhi: Geeez~ no fooling around, let's talk about the theme! Onzai-kun, please!

Onzai: Got it. The theme is "Marriage", connected with the June Bride special edition. First of all: the image that comes to mind when you hear "Marriage".

Ashu: The image, huh... For me it's "White" I guess? The white of the wedding dress. And the pure white doves~! The image when many of them take off from the church and you can't help but yell "Waaah~! Congratss~!" What about you, Haru?
Haruhi: For me... I don't know. The "Kitchen", I guess? It's like it means you're going to live together right away​ or something. Ahah.

Kitakado: I see. The first thing that came to my mind is the word "Vows", but... if I had to conceptualize "Marriage" more concretely, the image of a "new home" springs to mind. Choosing new furnitures together, making the rules for ourselves, starting a new life together... For some reason, I'm reminded of when I first started living with Ryuuji.

Ashu: That's right, before moving from the dormitory you showed me a furniture catalog! How nostalgic~♪

Kitakado: Fufu. What about you Momo? What's your image of "Marriage"?

Onzai: Let's see... What comes to my mind right now is "crab-cream croquettes". I can't deny the "Kitchen" and "New home" affected me, but... food, clothing, and shelter are the main point in the end.

Ashu: How nice would it be, eating crab-cream croquettes with the person you love the most! Let's buy some on the way home later~♪

Kitakado: The next question, uhmm. "If you had to promise only one thing to the person you're marrying, what would that be?"

Haruhi: A promise, huh~...

Ashu: What would that be? Something like "I'll keep telling you you're cute every day until you die~?"

Haruhi: Hmm, you'd make them happy, but... isn't until you die kind of heavy?

Ashu: Eh, you think? Isn't marriage that kind of thing?

Kitakado: Yeah. I think marriage itself is that promise. The promise to share your lives after that.

Haruhi: I see, your lives... What is this? Practically thinking, with marriage comes great responsibility, it's kinda scary. Well, if I get married it'll be with someone I like as much as Yuzuki, so... no, I'll keep saying he's cute even if I'm dead...

Onzai: ... The person Haru's going to marry is fortunate.

Haruhi:  Eh?

Onzai: If you're seriously that worried about it, it means you want to keep the promise you'll make no matter what. I'm sure the person who will be able to spend the rest of their life with such a sincere man will be happy.

Haruhi: Onzai-kun...... What you just said made me skip a beat, like for real... Gh! I love you! Please marry me!

Onzai: I refuse.

Haruhi: Buwah~!? You're not going along with it now!?

Onzai: Pft...

Kitakado: Fufu. The game of catch Haruhi and Momo are doing is very nice. Just listening to them makes me smile.

Haruhi: R- Really? This has become a game of catch...?

Ashu: Hey, and so? What's your promise, Momochin?

Onzai: Mine? Well... First and foremost, I want to provide my significant other a sense of absolute safety. That's why I want to promise them that both my body and mind are theirs when we marry.

Ashu: Kyaaaah~! Momochin, you're so cool!

Kitakado: Yeah. There is no doubt that the person Momo will marry is lucky.

Haruhi: Even if B's-LOG readers' hearts have been captured by Onzai-kun's coolness... Here it says "Lastly, is there anything you would like to say to your fans who dream of having a beautiful wedding?"

Kitakado: Huh...?

Haruhi: Eh?

Kitakado: Who dream of having a beautiful wedding... I wonder why, but by the way this was phrased, I feel like the partner is not us.

Onzai: You think so? We can't have that.

Ashu: Right, right! You shouldn't dream of getting married! You should keep looking at anyone but us~!

Haruhi: Okay then... we chatted about various things up until now, but putting that aside! Our fans can't marry! Ahah!

Onzai: Sorry to do this to you, but that's how things are. Well then, shall we buy those croquettes on the way home? But Haru...

Ashu: Aah, it's already night, you have work!

Haruhi: Ehh? ...... Wait, we haven't mentioned that so far, but you're bringing it up now!? I'm not a host in a flashy suit, okay!? I'm the groom of a June bride just like everyone else!

Everyone: Ahah.

Fin.
