He had moved forward, and so had she. It seemed that the annoying thing we call destiny had different plans for them though. (Rating may change).

Having a family was the greatest gift he had ever had.

Because getting married is a big step, even for Mashima Taichi and Ayase Chihaya. It also meant having to deal with 'Mrs. Pressure' and Ayase Kenji, and they would find out first hand how the Queen of Karuta's father will react. Oneshot.

A conversation with her girlfriends forces Ayase Chihaya to rethink things regarding her relationship with Mashima Taichi, and she was about to discover another side of him... with the help of a thunderstorm. Rated M for mature content; you've been warned. Oneshot.

She had never understood what it was that brought her back to him, despite of their distance and her decisions. She had never been one to think about 'coincidence' and 'fate' after all. But after finding herself drawn to him again and again, Ayase Chihaya may be finally able to understand that she was bound to him, not by coincidence, but maybe even by Lady Fate herself...

Even after all these years, he was madly in love with her. And she was probably the first and last woman he is ever going to love.
