The overprotective ones he really has to worry about are probably Kaoru and Aoi, honestly. Her dad would never be able to beat her best friends to Sam if he ever did something to make Shiho cry.
She sees the apartment through his eyes, their beginnings, their memories as well as his worries for the future and in reply she gently leans into him, holding him together to the best of her ability.
"...Yeah."
A hand comes up to touch his cheek as she smiles up at him with bright eyes, "...I can't promise that nothing will be scary, and that we won't have ups and downs but I can promise that I'll be there and that we'll get through it together. Okay?"
He put a hand a top hers, leaning into her palm with a soft sigh and finding the small comfort her touch brings. There is no promise that things won't be difficult, there is no certainty that it'll be smooth sailing from here, but her words and promise were more than enough for him.
"And that's all I'll ever need." He's never believed in gods or divine beings of any kind, but he can't help but wonder if Shiho suddenly appearing on his path was the work of a god and if he'll ever get the chance to thank them.
Shiho moves her hand just enough to link their fingers together.
"Good." She doesn't really believe in divine beings either, all she really believes in is herself and her friends. And now, in him, too. Smiling she leans in to kiss him again, "...Take care of me, okay? The future Mister Sannomiya-Mercer."
Shiho knows there's definitely going to be a lot of paperwork, convincing PANDRA to take him in, convincing Hyoubu not to be a giant brat about it all, getting him situated in her world, the two of them starting on a new life together that would hopefully result in something like what they had in that vision of 10 years into the future.
And hey, without whatever Prismatica had done to their bodies here... maybe that would one day mean some little Sannomiya-Mercers running around. She smiles and kisses him again.
"And me too... I will give everything to make you happy too. Through sickness and through health, with every beat of my heart."
Is she all but giving him wedding vows right now? Yes, yes she is.
He says with a chuckle and a gleeful smile. Between the two of them, he can't tell who's more eager to marry.
He knows there's going to be many challenges when they arrive but he's more than willing to face all of then head-on for her, bratty old men included. Nothing will stop him from giving her a life greater than that fantasy, especially if that life meant the one thing missing from that dream comes true - the one thing that would have made it perfect. A child.
He picks up the bags, smiling eagerly. "Shall we? I'm sure you're dying to see Kaoru."
Shiho laughs, tucking herself closer to him, "That won't be for a while yet though?"
But she likes the idea of a better life even than what they'd been shown in a dream. This one would be real. Her grip on his arm tightens a tiny bit as he holds onto the bags.
"That, too. But there's also Aoi-chan, you know. And I'm also dying to introduce you to them as my fiancee."
There was going to be a lot of explaining to do and probably interviews with Shiho's family, all four of them from her biological one, to her PANDRA one, to Minamoto, to her BABEL family when they finally stopped being brainwashed.
