(Y/n)'s POV

Bathing in the warm sunlight, I let out a soft, contented sigh before a pair of strong arms wrapped around my waist from behind. Lupin gently rested his head on my shoulder, nuzzling his face against my neck.

A flurry of giggles escaped my lips as he breathed against my skin, his hot breath leaving goosebumps on the side of my neck. I turned my head, a pout on my face but he simply captured my lips in a sweet kiss.

"(Y/n), you're too cute for your own good," he exclaimed.

"*blush* W-well, I can't help that you see me that way."

"Who knows what I might do if you keep acting like this?..."

"Lupin!"

"*laughs* I'm just kidding. Anyway, there's something I wanted to ask you."

"What is it?"

He let go before turning me around. I cocked my head to the side, unable to take my eyes away from his gentle gaze as he whispered the words I had never imagined to come out of his mouth.

"Marry me," he said.

"Are you...serious?"

"Does it look like I'm joking?"

"Then yes! Yes, of course!"

I laughed happily. He took this moment to place his lips on mine, subtly slipping a ring onto my finger. My cheeks flushed a dark shade of red just as he pulled away, a smirk tugging at the corners of his mouth.

"You're mine now, princess."

~In the afternoon~

"Yo (Y/n), I heard that you're engaged to Lupin," exclaimed Impey.

"Yeah, he told me beforehand," said Cardia.

"Although I imagine he'd ask you for your hand in marriage even if Cardia didn't approve," Van commented.

"I-I suppose that's true..."

"So? How did he ask you?" Fran asked.

"Just like how he'd normally ask me a question I guess?"

"What do you mean? We even had a whole crowd and everything," Lupin exclaimed as he strode through the doors.

"Stop joking around. It was nothing like that."

"When are you planning to have your wedding?" Cardia asked.

"No idea," Lupin replied.

"*sigh* Of course he'd have no idea," muttered Van.

The sky began to darken, the clouds concealing the sun's warm rays as a faint stroke of lightning flashed in the distance. The others followed my gaze before Fran offered to go make sure all the doors and windows were closed.

"There's someone outside."

Impey and I headed to the front door, cautiously opening it once we heard the anticipated knock. Delacroix collapsed in front of us, his breathing fast and shallow.

Impey immediately pulled the young vampire inside as I held his hand in mine. It wasn't long before he had calmed down, his fever and wound having already disappeared.

"It'll be best to change him into some dry clothes before he gets sick again."

"What happened?" Lupin asked.

"Well, he did say he had to go back to his household to retrieve some of his belongings. Must've been some rouge vampire hunter," Van assumed.

"I hope you're right."

~Timeskip to two weeks later~

"Cardia, I'm so very nervous."

"Don't worry, (Y/n). You look beautiful. Who knows? Maybe you'll make Lupin fall a second time," she exclaimed teasingly.

"*blush* A-as if!"

"Come on, your soon-to-be husband awaits you."

"Are you ready, (Y/n)?" Saint asked from the other side of the door.

"Yes, she is!"

He quietly opened the door, a small smile appearing on his face as he took in my appearance and nodded. I took that as a sign of his satisfied approval. Delacroix peeked inside, a cheeky grin gracing his face.

"Shall we go then? I'm sure Lupin is dying to see you," Saint said.

"See you later, Cardia."

Saint lent me his arm as we headed to the hall. Delacroix lifted my flowing gown slightly off the ground from behind, a happy smile already tugging at his lips.

Of course it was stereotypical to ask a young girl to do this but none of us minded nor gave much thought to traditions. Delacroix was a feisty, if not, sweet vampire and completely unlike those one would hear about from old folklores.

I took a deep breath as we drew closer to the double doors. Saint gave my hand a reassuring squeeze before the tall wooden structures drew open. Lupin stood at the end of the aisle, his hair still as casual as ever.

The striking suit in which he wore only complimented his boyish features and that teasing smile of his. I could only focus my eyes on his as Saint led me towards him.

Taking Lupin's hand, I walked up the few steps, already calming down knowing that he was by my side. We faced the priest, yet I could not focus on his speech. Only when it was my turn to speak did I regain my focus.

"I do."

"Then by the power invested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife."

Lupin immediately pulled me in for a kiss. However, much to my embarrassment, it was long and passionate, although I wouldn't expect anything else from him.

Once he pulled away, he whispered the three words I had come to love despite the fact that my face was a blushing mess.

"I love you."

"I love you too."

The crowd erupted into a large flurry of applause, drawing my attention away from the man in front of me. Cardia and the others waved from their seats, seemingly wanting the bouquet of flowers I held in my hand.

"Me! (Y/n)! I'm the kid here!" Delacroix exclaimed.

"Oi, I'm Lupin's best man!" argued Impey.

"Such children," commented Van.

"I'm sure you'll like to get your hands on that bouquet as well," Fran replied.

Lupin, noticing the indecision on my face, took the bouquet from my hands and threw it into the air. The flowers flew loose, its soft (colour) petals slowly fluttering down, decorating the air.

He took this chance to lead me down and towards the carriage waiting for us outside. It was time for lunch; however, Lupin and I had no knowledge of the menu so we had no choice but to hope that the others had chosen well.

"(Y/n), I'm going to make you feel like the luckiest girl in the world," he exclaimed.

"*blush* How can you say stuff like that without getting flustered?..."

"It's all a part of my charm. Nobody can resist someone such as myself."

"I wonder about that."

"You fell for me, didn't you?"

"W-well-"

"Heh, I'm only teasing you."

"...baka."

He simply smiled innocently before capturing my lips in another kiss. I intertwined our fingers, glad to have fallen for him. He was my everlasting energy after all.
