Your breakup with Idia was... pretty clean compared to other relationships. It was before graduation, when the two of you knew you were going separate ways.

Of course, neither of you had wanted to leave each other, and Ortho reported that Idia cried himself to bed for weeks after doing so.

The two of you still kept in touch. Sort of as "gaming buddies that can't manage to match up their time zones".

With his newest job as S.T.Y.X's manager, added onto your new job (from across the world), he hardly had the time to converse with you, so the two of you slowly drifted apart... though his heart still ached when he thought of you, never really moving on enough to find a new lover.

However, it seemed as if he didn't need to.

Recently being informed of being put into an arranged marriage by his parents, he had texted you in a flurry, ranting on and on about this dilemma. You... obviously were upset about this, too, though hid it well. However, before you could do anything to help, you soon discovered that you had been shoved into the same situation.

With the both of you now shoved into marriages of convenience, you... gave up.

In all honesty, Idia had always believed that the two of you would end up seeing each other again, and maybe get back together... but it... seemed as an impossible thought now.

.

It was upsetting that you were getting ready for a wedding, for a random man (or is it), who would be standing where you always wished that Idia would stand.

However, as the curtains pulled back, neither you nor the man on the podium could have prepared each other for the coming shock.

When you hesitantly stepped onto the long carpet leading to the podium, you heard a small, barely audible, yet familiar gasp coming from across the room.

Looking up, you slowly realized....

Your groom... he was Idia.

You watched his downcast eyes suddenly light up with... joy, when he saw you. The flames of his hair turned pink, as he stared at you in disbelief.
