This was reality, it just had to be. Ichika had actually found someone who didn't hate him because of his wings. He had lucid dreams before, but none of them even came close to feeling as real as this. This girl, this amazing girl in his arms was indeed real, and if she would have him, then he would spend the rest of his life doing everything he could to make her the happiest girl alive. "Oh!" It was her comment that reminded him that he was topless. Pulling out of the hug, he folded his wings back up and put his shirt back on. "Woops, I forgot"

Now that he was fully dressed again, he scooped Momo back up into his arms. "If you prefer, I could stay topless when we're alone together" he offered before he started to walk. "so...you said you wanted to go to the cafe, right?" he asked Momo to make sure he remembered right. 'I'll never let anyone touch her' he thought to himself 'if anyone want's to hurt her, they'll have to go through my dead corpes first'

What was happening right now was so surreal that Ichika couldn't immediately comprehend what was going on. Momo just said that she liked his wings...after having seen them. The very notion of something like this was too insane for him to even consider...yet it was happening right now. Something that Ichika didn't even dare dream was happening to him right now. Tears began flowing down his face

"Do you...do you mean that?" Ichika asked, hope swelling in his heart "this...this isn't some sort of joke or lie or anything is it?" His legs began to shake and his wings started to quiver. He slowly pulled her into another firm hug (this time using his wings as well). "Momo...please be real" he began to cry "If...if I wake up and this isn't real...you're not real. I-I-I don't know if I'll be able to go on. I...I never let myself even hope that this would happen, because it would make it too painful when my hopes were destroyed. Momo...please be real..." He trailed off as he kept crying tears of joy, having forgot that he was still topless

Her response caught Ichika by surprise. He wasn't expecting her to be so against him cutting of his own wings for her. "W-well...if you really want to" Since he couldn't fully fold out his wings with a shirt on, he gently set Momo down so that his hands were free. Once they were, he pulled off his shirt and spread out his wings. The scales on them were a deep copper color, while the fleshy parts were a light pink. Also, both wings were about as long as he was tall.

Despite Momo having said that she thought wings were cool, he wasn't too hopeful. He'd seen this far too many times to think that this time would be any different. He knew that her opinion would change once she saw them, just like everyone else. 'I should have known; this was too good to be true.' Ichika was looking down at the ground, as he didn't think he could handle seeing the look on her face when she saw them. 'I bet people expect them to be like bird wings'

"Whatever you want is fine with me Momo." He answered her. "Momo...Momo...Momo. Ahhh...that feels so wonderful to say" he tried out her nickname on his tongue, finding it oddly pleasant to say. He also noticed that she didn't seem to be upset at all that he picked her up (he would later look back at this and slap himself for being so forward). However before he could carry her off to the cafe, she asked about what was on his back. To be honest, he really hadn't noticed his wings shaking, since it was both an automatic thing, and something he was used to

Ichika was caught off guard by her question "oh, um, well...you see, I have wing." That's when a dark thought entered his mind '...what if she hates them? What if she can only love a human?' The very idea was too horrible to consider...yet he did so anyway "i-if you don't like them then I can always cut them off. I mean I'll need to find something strong enough to get through the bone." Not again, he wouldn't let it happen again. This was his one and only shot at happiness. He wasn't about to let something like a fear of self dismemberment get in his way, not when he was so close

She wanted to make this work.

While Ichika had no reason to believe that she wouldn't, hearing that from her removed a huge weight from his shoulders. "I would love that...I would love that a lot" he answered her while chocking up just a little. Getting to his feet, he scooped her up bridle style relishing the feel of her weight on his arms. "So Momoka" he shivered while saying her name, with his wings rustling as well "where would you like to go. Whereever you pick is fine with me, I just want to see you smile"

'If this is a dream...then I never want to wake up.' The was a small part of Ichika that still thought that all of this was a dream. Having such a beautiful, wonderful girl suddenly in his life like this seemed far too good to be true, no matter how real it felt. 'Or maybe I've been drugged. If this is what being high feels like then I could understand why so many people destroy their lives to get it. No! This can't just be a dream, I refuse to let it be all in my head!'

"I...I'm sorry. It's just...I'm so happy! I've waited for this, for so long. It feels so good to be held by someone else. You feel...so warm." Ichika said breathlessly, wrapping his arms around her and pulling her into a firm (but not painfully tight) hug. While one hand moved in gentle circles on the middle of her back, the other ran through her hair "I'll do whatever I can to make you as happy as possible...so please never leave me." While they were still folded up, his wings began to flutter slightly in excitement. 'This feels more wonderful then I ever dreamed it would'

It was her

Through some act of divine intervention, Momoko just so happened to be in the garden as well. Ickika didn't put a lot of thought into it. Right now all that mattered to him was the girl who was going to love him was right in front of him...it was almost too overwhelming for him to handle. However he powered through the serge of emotions to regain the cognitive functions of his brain. "It's you..." he whispered. He quickly rushed over to her and grabbed on of her hands "it's finally you" he put the hand he grabbed between both of his. "I've waited...so long to meet you" at this point his voice began to crack. By now, his eyes were starting to water. If it weren't for the giant smile on his face, one might think that he was holding back a wave of sorrow

"...Your hand...it's so soft and warm" despite having forced his brain to reboot, it still wasn't at 100%. The shear bliss that Ichika was in made it hard to focus on rational thought, so he right now he was being driven by his instincts guided autopilot

Ichika was brought out of his thoughts by his phone vibrating. Hope surged through his heart as he tried to pull it out as fast as he could, although in his haste he fumbled with it and he dropped it. Though fortunately he was sitting down, so not only did it not fall far, but it wasn't so much as scratched. Once he had grabbed his phone, he opened up the app he had received when he came here to check it for messages, he found one. It said that it was going to take longer then expected for there to be room in the Match Offices for him and is Match, so they just sent him her name and picture

Momoko Kaede

"This...this is her; the girl who will love me for the rest of our lives." A smile grew on Ichika's face the was bright enough to light up a room; he finally found her. Now that he knew the identity of his Match, his excitement took over his common sense. Since he had no idea where she was, the smart thing to do would be to ask around. No one would find it strange if he showed them the message. However what he ended up doing was different; he instead went of blindly in search of her, first going through all of the garden to find her

Today was the day. Today he would meet the girl he was going to spend the rest of his life with, the girl who would love him. Ichika was feeling a strange combination of nervous, and excited. He would already have met her, had the Match Offices not already been full, so he had to wait, even though the waiting was unbearable. He wanted his match and he wanted her now

In order to help pass the time as painlessly as possible, Ichika was spending his time in the garden. It was always quite and peaceful in here, so he could come here to be alone with his thoughts. Granted his thoughts always ended up being about his unknown match, even before she had been found...but still. Something else pleasant about this place was that it was nice and sunny. Ichika liked the sun; it was bright and warm. Just like his match was, he just knew it

What would she be like, he wondered. Would she want to move in with him right away, or would she want to wait? What kinds of things would she like to eat? What would she want to do? These questions were swirling around in his head so much that it was a little disorienting. "I'm finally going to meet her; my destined one"

Kamina

With M back now, they could go looking for Spruce and Celes "excellent! Now we can reunite with our comrades! I can only hope that Spruce and Celes are not in the middle of an intimate moment now though" Kamina said the last part while waggling his eyebrows. "Come M, we march to our next big adventure!"

Kamina found that getting around the guild was really easy now. It might have had something to do with his large size making others more likely to get out of his way, but he didn't bother putting much thought into it. What this meant was that he was able to find Spruce and Celes easily "there you two are. I hope M and I are't interrupting anything"

Tini

While he did just tell Bonnie that the person who hurt her was going to pay, he didn't expect it to happen on the same day. Not that this was a problem, it was just a surprise. "...He will taste minty justice..." the normally always cheerful little guy hissed. Bonnie's father had committed one of the greatest sins one could possible commit in Tini's mind; he abused the bonds of family to hurt Bonnie and made her afraid of cuddles. THIS WAS UNACCEPTABLE!!!! Tini had never been so angry in his life, having lived such a sheltered life, he was unfamiliar to the cruelties that other people were capable of.

"...Can't make him hurt enough..." he hissed out. It didn't matter who this bad father was; Tini was going to do everything in his power to make him suffer for what he did. Nothing could justify or excuse it. These thoughts were the only things running through his mind as he traversed Bonnie's old home alongside his team
