100 drabble challenge #63 - "Do Not Disturb"

OCs used here:

Captain Chen-Koto - Shifu's father & captain of the Imperial army. You can read his story in my gallery under the name of "The First Step".

Lady Kuan Yin - Shifu's mother & Koto's wife, a young and dedicated mother who is skilled in Shaolin Quanshu fan fighting. You can read her story in my gallery under the name of "The First Step".

“I feel like a glorified chili pepper!!” she laughed.

“You look like a Christmas tree.”

“Once I get out of this thing, Koto, I’m going to hurt you.”

The young captain grinned and poked his nose through the tassels of his new wife’s bridal crown. “Hellooo? Anyone in there?”

“You think I’m kidding, don’t you?”

The very moment her new husband had sat her down on the bridal bed, she had brought her paws up to get the cumbersome headwear off. She was most willing to follow the tradition of wearing the bridal crown and veil that covered her face…but only as long as was absolutely necessary. The only way she had even known for sure she was marrying Koto during the ceremony was the way he had taken a hold of her hand, entwining his fingers with hers just so and giving a little squeeze.

She finally managed to brush the veil away and lift the crown above her head with Koto’s help. For the first time that day, the two sweethearts found themselves face-to-face.

“Well, well,” he smirked. “How interesting, they usually put the angel on top of the tree.”

“Awwwwww…” Yin grinned and yanked her husband’s newly acquired tiongsam – the traditional groom’s cap – over his eyes. “Shut up.”

“Nyeehhh…” Koto pouted and pushed the cap back up. He was then nearly knocked straight over when his bride pounced and threw her arms around his neck, planting one right on the lips for the first time since they had been named man and wife.

Koto waved his arms for balance as they stumbled back onto the bed and laughed at each other’s clumsiness. The groom cupped her face tenderly in his paw. She still smelled of a fragrant lily perfume and her eyes were piercing orbs with the radiance of living mahogany, brought out all the more brilliantly by the cherry red robes of her wedding dress.

My gosh, she’s beautiful...

The captain’s face was absolutely beaming with a loving smile as her mahogany met his lapis.

They’d come a long way since that late summer day when Koto had first laid eyes on her and had learned the hard way that girls could fight with their fans and didn’t hesitate to if met with undesirable flirting. She had always been such a fierce and fiery little sparrow that – for some reason or another – didn’t please the matchmaker. She was loyal and obedient and gracious, yet her knowledge in Shaolin Quanshu fan fighting made her not as quiet as her sisters. The evaluation from the matchmaker was simply Greek to Koto. She was perfect in her imperfections. He had wanted her from the beginning - simply her and no one else.

He sat on the bed beside her, leaning in to nudge his nose underneath her ear and kiss her neck. She closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around his neck.

They had waited and waited their whole lives for this one moment to come, and here it was. Here they were at last, holding each other as man and wife; two souls made one and a lifetime together ahead of them.
EEEEEEE, Yin makes her fanfic debut. :love: Just a cute lil' one about the happy new couple. :D

Aw, they're so darn adorable! Makes me want to get to know 'em both better^^ I love the playfulness, and her not pleasing the matchmaker, and the "perfect in her imperfections," bit. Great fic^^
