Challenge/Prompt: TYL, wedding
Title: Wedding Crashers
... So once upon a time Kev and I discussed how Minato would propose to Emiri. And I decided such things needed to be written.
Horribly Beautifully.
The couple at the altar gazed into each other's eyes, their hands clasped together as the bored-looking priest rolled his eyes and cleared his throat.
"The only reason I'm here is to see Amu-tan, so let's get this shit over with. Say I do, make out, and if anyone gives a damn about ruining your happy married life--"
One of the church doors suddenly flew open with such force that it left a huge black mark on the wall. The intruder ignored the property damage and stomped as angrily as one could in a wedding dress with a long train, all the way up to the blinking bride and groom. One hand landed on the bride's shoulder, and Emiri smiled. Dangerously.
"Get your sadistic hooker hands off my boyfriend or I'm going to introduce my heel to your eyeball."
Tucked under her other arm, Shadow the Hedgehog groaned. "You're taking this event too seriously, you idiot."
"I'd be fine with anyone else," Emiri paused to inform him, "but Haru would actually want to consummate the marriage, so we're not going that route. He can have you."
"My kinks don't extend to complete bestiality, Emiri-chan." Haru looked at the squirming hedgehog with distaste. "But to think you would be so bold as to crash a wedding, a holy union that'll soon be a physical uni--"
He stopped when he realized that Emiri had already taken Minato by the hand and led (more like dragged) him out of the church, leaving a priest, a hedgehog, and a prostitute in a wedding dress behind.
Blade coughed. "This might actually be the beginning of a good joke."

It was evident that Emiri was highly incensed, but was at least determined not to fall flat on her face, since she'd hiked up her skirts as she stalked along. Minato knew better than to open his mouth just yet, and this new look granted him a nice view of her legs, so he was content to remain silent (albeit confused) and wait for her to stop and explain. She'd do it eventually.
Sure enough, Emiri finally let go of his hand and sucked in a deep breath, which she then released.
"... I just crashed a wedding."
"... Yes, you did."
She shook her head and glanced at him. "Sorry. You know I don't normally make this event a big deal, and after we... finally did it..." She was already turning red, and Minato tried not to smile at the fact that, even years after their relationship had turned even more intimate, she still got flustered when she talked about it. "Haru's teasing doesn't bother me as much, but somehow... I didn't want to see you marry him."
Minato's smile won the fight, as an idea suddenly struck him. "No one can fault you for your determination, Emiri."
Emiri smiled back, though hers was more rueful. "Haru Arisato just doesn't have a ring to it."
"Then how about Emiri Arisato?"
"Oh, that's a little better," she replied offhandedly-- and then choked. "W-wait, what--"
Completely undaunted, Minato took her hands in his. "We've been doing this event for years. Why not do it for real this time?"
"You're asking me to marry you?" Emiri croaked.
"Yes."
"Seriously?"
"Is that a yes?"
The kiss she gave him was answer enough, though Minato kept his head enough to ask between feverish kisses, "That's a yes, isn't it?"
"It's a hell yes," Emiri mumbled, and kissed him one last time before she drew back and offered him her hand. "And I know a purple-haired mad scientist and an idiot leader who will kill me if they're not the first to know about it."
"Then isn't it too bad that I'm the first?" came a cheerful chirp from behind them. "I'm glad I followed you all this way from the church! Congratulations, Emiri-chan! You may actually become a genuine woman--"
Minato sighed and braced himself to hold his fiancé back from committing homicide.
