so yeah, enjoy watching one of my ships become as canon as possible as our favorite couple goes at it... xD
it's pretty emotional too. I really thought it was a moving chapter...
CHAPTER 39: THEIR WEDDING DAY
Cheng and Taki were happy to be alone again. Taki was relaxing on the bed at this point, Cheng next to (or rather, most likely on top of) her. Right now though instead of their usual activities, they jus seemed to be starting into each other’s eyes.
“You’re gorgeous,” Cheng exclaimed, “I’ve never seen a woman as beautiful as you before. I mean, I thought it was just my drive for your body at first, but... this is different. It’s just... I...”
“You what,” Taki asked, “Are you alright?”
“I’m fine,” Cheng replied, “it’s just... I... I think that I... I love you, Taki. I honestly love you with all my heart and soul.”
“y-you do,” Taki exclaimed, “I mean, I knew from the moment I met you that I was attracted to you, but I just thought it was natural. I didn’t know what that feeling was before meeting you.”
“Have you ever been with another person,” Cheng asked,
“Well,” said Taki, “if you’re saying that in the context that I think you are; then no, I haven’t. If you mean have I been out on dates with other guys, then my answer is aye. I assume you have before as well?”
“The same way,” Cheng replied, “and yet never in the other context; it’s almost like we were made for each other or something,”
Taki smiled, “I like the way that sounds. In fact, no, I don’t like it—I love it. I love it the same way I love you—sincerely.”
“So, um,” Cheng stammered, “about what Zakura said,”
“Um,” Taki stammered, “what about it? I mean, do you really think,”
“No, I,” Cheng stammered, “It was... um... was it? Do you really think you and I should... do that?”
Taki paused for a moment and sat up, staring him straight in the eyes.
“Do you mean it,” she asked sincerely,
“Aye,” Cheng replied firmly, “if you desired it the way I would, I would agree with you completely and immediately.”
“It’s just that we’ve only known each other for such a short time.” Said Taki, “It just seems like a legend—or like in a few months we’d break up or something. It actually sort of worries me.”
“Do you trust me,” Cheng asked, “do you feel that I would betray you?”
Taki paused for a moment,
“I do,” she said, “I do trust you. If that trust was ever broken, I’d... I’d...”
“Taki,” said Cheng, planting a light kiss on her cheek, “if you trust me, then worrying about me betraying you wouldn’t be a problem.”
Taki smiled, “would you ever betray me,” she asked, “even if you did find a woman prettier than I was,”
Cheng laughed.
“Taki, don’t be ridiculous,” Cheng, “I didn’t first fine you interesting because you were attractive...”
Taki just glared at him.
“Okay,” said Cheng, scratching the back of his head, “maybe that was what got me to first start liking you, but now it’s much more. Now, I don’t care how pretty or ugly you are. Right now, what I want is the personality inside the woman of my dreams. The fact that she’s also the most beautiful woman in the world is just an added bonus. I would never ‘betray’ you, Taki. If mythical women prettier than you really exist like you say they do, (though I doubt that they do) I could care less. This is the woman I want to me mine... all mine...”
“So,” said Taki, “you don’t just want me for my body,”
“Of course not,” Cheng replied, “you’re much more than that. You always played hard to get. That’s a sign that you weren’t just trying to offer yourself up to the first guy who you liked. I respect that.”
Taki smiled. “You’re the first man to ever tell me that,” she said, tears forming in her eyes, “and now I’m certain that I want to be with you—for all time and eternity.”
Cheng smiled; “in that case, maybe Zakura will end up having a wedding to crash after all. Would you really want to, despite us only knowing each other as short a time as we have?”
“Aye,” Taki replied, “to be with you for all time and eternity... death cannot separate us; I want that. I need it.”
“I do too,” said Cheng, putting his arms around her, “I was around the rest of the Kyoshi Warriors while I was here, and we talked about you a lot—mostly me. Do you know why? It was because you kept coming into my mind. I couldn’t stop thinking about when the next time I was going to see you were. And well, when I DID see you I had no further control. I just wanted to be with you—to hold you in my arms.”
Taki smiled again, sniffling slightly this time.
“I love you,” she said, squeezing him and resting her head on his shoulder.
“Taki,” said Cheng, “If I could have just one wish, I would wish to wake up everyday to the sound of your breath on my neck, the warmth of your lips on my cheek, the touch of your fingers on my skin, and the feel of your heart beating with mine... knowing that I could never find that feeling with anyone but you.”
Taki was in tears by the time Cheng finished.
“That...” she started, “that was beau...” but broke down before she could even finish the word.
“Now do you understand how strong my love for you is,” he asked, “it’s not just a game of being all over each other, Taki Masahiro; this is love.”
“Then I want more of it,” she said, tears still flowing freely down her face, “I need more of it.”
“So be it,” said Cheng, smiling, “time and all eternity it is, then.”
Ironically, Cheng and Taki didn’t even have to tell anyone that they planned to be married. It seemed that somehow, someone (Taki had a *very* shrewd idea as to who this ‘someone’ was) had found out and had told everyone, for when they came out of the room together the next morning [fully clothed of course], they received a congratulations from Koara, who happened to be walking by.
“Congratulations on what,” Cheng exclaimed,
“On your and Taki’s marriage of course,” Koara replied, “Zakura seemed particularly happy for you two.
Taki grumbled a little.
“What’s the matter, child,” Koara asked,
“She gets into our business too much,” she said, “it’s like she set us up.”
“Hey,” said Zakura, “don’t be breaking up just yet. I just saved you the stress of all that organization. It helps being the avatar. It doesn’t take very long to organize things when you’ve got cash.”
“How long were we in there,” Taki exclaimed,
“Just a night,” Zakura replied, “don’t ask how I did what I did, just play along. Would I really be doing this if I didn’t want to see you two together? You two are cute. I admire that.”
Both Cheng and Taki were speechless. They were still trying to figure out why on earth Zakura was so obsessed with putting them together. And yet, they both wanted it as well; they just could not figure out the avatar’s logic. What was she thinking?
“Is there something you want from us,” said Taki, deciding to be the one to talk, “I mean; it seems that you’ve been pulling all the strings in mine and Cheng’s relationship. What’s going on?”
“I just think you two make a cute couple,” Zakura replied, “maybe it’s just something I don’t think I’ll get. Be thankful, and most importantly, be happy. Do you honestly think that I’m some sort of matchmaking service? I’m single myself, so I’m obviously doing something wrong if I am.”
“But why,” said Cheng “why us? Did you know we were this compatible?”
“no,” said Zakura, “I initially just wanted you two to like each other so I could annoy you about it, but then you two started to not be scared to admit you were fond of each other, and I grew fond of how cute you two are together. So go on, kiss the bride.”
A week later, Cheng was told similar words by the sage who was marrying them. Zakura had literally planned everything for them, and it went out without a hitch. Needless to say, it was not a mere kiss that Cheng landed on his bride, but rather a full face-locking.
“Now hold that pose,” said Zakura, laughing, “I’ve got a little friend here who’s gonna make you something.”
Zakura’s “little friend” was a teenage girl with long, impossibly curly brown hair. She kept her face hidden most of the time and was frantically scribbling something down on a piece of paper. Cheng and Taki “held that pose” of lip-locking for several minutes, giving the young girl plenty of time to finish what she was obviously making—a drawing. Once it was finished, Zakura took it and showed it to Cheng and Taki. It was a very accurate depiction of them (making out).
“Who’s the girl,” Taki asked, looking at it,
“Just a water tribe girl,” Zakura replied, “I paid her to draw you two kissing on your wedding day. Did the avatar deliver, or did I deliver?”
Cheng laughed, “thanks, I suppose,” he said, smiling alongside Taki;
“Welcome,” Zakura replied, “now have your fun. The party is gonna start in a few moments.”
Taki meant to get the name of the girl who drew the picture, but she had vanished into the crowd, her blue clothing blending in with that of the other tribes-people who came.
Nonetheless, Zakura really had provided them with quite the treat, having planned everything over the last week. Now they were enjoying it. it was good to know that, even thought they were in a long-time war, that that war was not even able to stop Their Wedding Day.
