#kaider wedding

[freddycartr]

headcanons about kaider that i think are really fucking beautiful:

• kai loves to surprise cinder. with flowers, with coffee in bed, or with broken shit (like a med-droid) for her to fix

• cinder calls kai affectionately, “my husband and my love,” but only when they are alone

• kai calls cinder “my moon and every star in the sky” but only when they are alone

• kai loves to call her his wife constantly or his empress

• cinder still works as a mechanic while being empress

• cinder loves to wear kai’s clothes and kai always smiles when he sees her wearing them

• kai is a light sleeper, so whenever cinder gets woken by a nightmare, kai always is there to wrap his arms around her and pull her to him. she falls asleep in his arms soundlessly

• they sometimes stay up late, talking about their life. there is a lot of kissing that is involved

• kai loves to help cinder get dressed and vice versa. it’s a way he shows his affection to her and gratitude that she accepted to be his empress. he always makes sure that her crown is straight, after they dress each other, he presses a kiss to her forehead.

• cinder doesn’t wear dresses to balls

• after long days being the emperor and empress of the eastern commonwealth, they love to sit on the floor and talk

• kai loves to rub cinders feet and cinder rubs his shoulders after long days

• they are almost always touching each other and they have a quiet intimacy that is so fucking beautiful

• cinder is always aware of kai’s moods when it’s the anniversary of his mother and fathers death. she has him cancel his duties and spend the day doing whatever he wants in order to have him grieve yet celebrate their lives. he says to her “you are my family, my love.” pressing a kiss to her hand

• cinder loves to be kissed on the neck, and kai always obliges this want. often. whenever he can, he presses his lips to her neck

• they are always side by side when in meetings, and they treat each others as equals

• kai is very defensive when people begin asking about heirs. he literally loses his shit with the paparazzi. he waits until cinder is ready and tells her that they don’t have to have a child if she doesn’t want to

• kai loves to kiss cinder (and vice versa) whenever and wherever. in their room, the throne room, or against walls. always making sure it is okay with her first. they are really fucking in love and they kiss often, not caring who is watching.

• they have a favorite make out spot and torin and iko are constantly trying to find them (but, hey, it’s a big palace) and sometimes they just walk away when they find them

• they always ask for consent before they kiss or have sex. they love to take showers together, kai loves to run his fingers in cinders hair help her with shampoo and conditioner. they almost always end up kissing while they’re together and cinder loves to kiss his collarbone and neck, it leaves kai breathless

• cinder always loses her breath when she sees kai shirtless. like every. fucking. time.

• kai loves to place his hand on cinders waist and cinder loves the feel of his body against her while in bed

• kai is always physically present with cinder, always a hand at her back or waist. or the brush a of a knee under the table, his fingers on her thigh. a brush of his lips on her neck or shoulder while she dresses, or a long kiss in bed when they first wake up. his brow rested on hers. he knows the neglect that she endured at hands of adri and that she never received love or comfort, so he makes sure that she is constantly being looked after including making she she’s had food

• sleepy kai is cinders favorite but thinks he is hot as hell when he is dressed in traditional eastern commonwealth clothes

• they say ‘i love you’ and kiss each other until they are breathless often

• years down the line, their love is still as strong as when they first met

• whenever one of them has to leave the palace, the bed always feels empty without them in it

Honestly, thank gosh MM didn’t write an official Kaider wedding because if it’s not like Colin Khoo and Araminta Lee’s wedding, or better, then I don’t want it

THE LATEST CHAPTER OF MMM WAS SO GOOD!! I love when the morons act like morons. Idk if you take requests but if you do Do you have any headcanons for Kaider's actual wedding/honeymoon?

Thank you!! The final bonus drabble comes out now so look out for it.

And yes and no. When Cinder's Adventure was announced I halted all headcanons in anticipation and...it didn't really deliver much about the wedding itself. I have more engagement headcanons (if you want those lemme know) but I do have one particular wedding headcanon:

Cinder and Kai have a big ceremony and reception that's quite formal. Only serious wedding speeches are allowed and Cinder and Kai weren't allowed to write whatever vows they wanted (nor did Cinder feel comfortable baring her soul to billions of watchers). The reception is still fun with music and dancing but there's so many political guests around who aren't really their friends. So at around midnight the crew retreat to Kaider's new shared suite and have their own private party.

Everyone (and I mean everyone) gives a wedding speech congratulating the couple and detailing how they first met them. Thorne and Iko argue over which one of them got Kaider together. Jacin exaggerates Cinder's embarrassingly obvious denial of her feelings for Kai in the early days.

Then Cinder and Kai get to say real vows, though mostly off-the-cuff, to each other. They loose many of the clunky details of their clothing by this point--sashes and capes and jewellery and medallions are shed for better dancing mobility and arm wrestling matches. Everyone stays up until 3am dancing and playing videos games and cards and karaoke. It keeps the "house wedding" tradition continuing from Scarlet and Wolf's wedding.

Imagine if after reading their vows and his speech for Scarlet and Wolf’s wedding, Kai pulled out his ring for Cinder instead of Scarlet and Wolf’s rings. I could see him doing it since he kept thinking about their own relationship while writing his speech, and he’d pull her ring out on accident instead of Scarlet and Wolf’s and just go red and be like, um, you didn’t see that 💀

#I hated something old something new in stars above #personally if it weren't for the wolflet wedding it would've had the weakest writing in the entire thing #also cress and cinder were OOC to me #like I feel like a lot of character progress achieved by most characters regressed in this story #but scarlet and wolf...they *sniff* THEMMMMM *SNIFF WITH ANIME TEARS* THEM!!! #also jacin wasn't that bitchy in the series so idk why she made him that bitchy now 😭 #it just felt like. 2D versions of their actual characters idk #but it was so cute to read and kai proposing was cute #but cinder not having a complete moral dilemma is inaccurate #she just abdicated the throne. but now she's accepting a new role? less than two years later? c'mon #plus canonically she's 18. SHES BABY. HAS SHE EVEN BEEN ON VACATION #there is so much I hate in that story. also kai is sooooo tacky at proposing at someone else's wedding #and as a character he's corny...but not tacky #somehow #in a story full of cyborgs and glamour and intergalactic wars and love #the most unrealistic thing #is cinder so easily saying yes to marrying kai. like she's too young to realize she's not marrying an emperor...she's marrying a COUNTRY #ugh I'm so disappointed. but the fluff was cute. but sooooooooo OOC for kaider to me #okay.

Kaider wedding portrait we’ll call version 1, cause I’ve already had new thoughts about it since I finished this

[therealkaidertrash21]

I've been seeing quite a few posts talking about the kaider wedding, and I want to share my headcannons.

I think they would've have a big wedding, but not as big as expected for royals. pretty similar to Cinder's coronation. just a few hundreds of people (which apparently is not much). The ceremony and the reception would be beautiful, elegant but not over the top (Kai is used to that kinda stuff, although he doesn't like it, but Cinder can't stand it).

But this wouldn't be the real wedding. I'm not saying they would elope, because I don't think this wouldn't be necessarily a secret.

It would take place maybe a day before the "big wedding" maybe in the New Beijing palace gardens, and it would be officiated by Torin (everyone thought he wouldn't approve but he was actually very supportive of the idea) and only the rampion crew would be there, they're the their closest friends after all. Everyone would be dressed quite casually for a wedding, they don't have anyone to impress or anything. Both Kai's and Cinder's vows would be very beautiful and emotional (Kai can't stop crying and Cinder would if she could). And after that they would eat dinner, everyone would give a speech and then they would spend the rest of the evening and night remembering how they all met and stories together. After dinner, Cinder and Kai would go back to their room and keep talking and thinking about a future (the one in which the two are together).

I know this can be a bit distressing but I want a story where Kai is older where he remembers his love what he still feels for Cinder, this is just a story please thanks for the answer

Masterlist

Thank you for sending in this ask, nonnie, it was a bit distressing since I couldn't find a new reason to make these two fall apart but not to worry about that, I used my big brain and was creative enough to make something up. Hoping it serves you well! :)

Kai's Perspective:

"Yes, Torin. Do make time on my schedule for this coming Saturday evening. There's an event at Tara's school." He informs, shuffling through the pages of the manuscript Torin had brought.

"Are you the guest?" 

"Ha, for once I'm not. They have some school performance, I'm going to see her," he says.

Torin smiles fondly, both the men thinking about the little kid that made Palace delightful. 

"Boo!" someone cheered loudly.

"Fu- oh my stars," he cuts his swear word as he sees Tara," we did talk about this, no coming here alone."

"But Da, I wanted to surprise you," she reasoned.

"I mentioned it multiple times, Da's office has important documents." 

"Well I came in to show you something," she said, trying to save herself from scoldings.

"And couldn't it wait till we sat down for dinner?"

"Maybe not," she goes, coming ahead to sit in the chair before him.

Kai nods at her antics, Torin eyeing him. 

Sighing he closes the document he was reading, "Then off it with, love."

"Can Torin-da give us a moment?" she asks politely.

"Tara, are you sure it can't wait till dinner, I have some work to complete."

"I'd take only 5 minutes," she begged, making puppy eyes at him.

"Kai, it's ok. I'd come back again in a while. Does that work fine for you Tara?" Torin chuckled, coming to rescue the child.

"You are the best, Torin-da!" she announced, giving him a cheeky smile.

Exasperated, Kai gave in to their schemes, signalling to his advisor that he would ring him once he was done with Tara. His daughter brought her precious thing to his table as soon as Torin was out of the room. 

"I drew us," she says with pride lacing her voice, "You, me and Mama."

"That's wonderful. Can I see it?" He requested.

"Obviously," Tara murmurs, her words carrying a trace of sarcasm, a trait she had inherited from him.

The picture she drew was wonderful and he wasn't biased towards his daughter. She had a certain level of artistic skills that was beyond her age. She drew pictures better than her parents, provided none of them were good artists themselves.

"You will be such a fantastic artist in the future. I have to admit you look very beautiful in this," he comments.

"You always say I look beautiful," she said accusingly.

"Because you always do," he chuckled.

"Would you like to hang it?" she questioned. 

"Maybe. We can put it in the drawing room or the living room."

"I mean in the office," she clarifies.

"Oh," he says," You think so?"

"Yes, you have a portrait of you and Mum and me when I was a kid. You don't have a family picture at your desk," she explains.

"That's quite thoughtful of you."

"What does that mean?"

"It means you are clever to notice I don't have a family photo at the desk."

She nods and remembering her manners she thanks him.

"I think my desk has too many pictures already, how about we hang it on the wall? So every time you come here you can see it."

"But you said not to come in here."

"And let's change that to when 'you come here accompanied'."

He cleared as they walked towards the gallery in his cabin, where he had hung images of significant events in his life. His parents and him, later his dad and him, Torin and his family, his wedding day, Tara's birth and so many uncountable events.

"We would have to remove something for this to fit in?" he said aloud.

"We could remove that one," she said pointing out to a frame in the top left corner.

"Let me see," he said looking towards the picture she pointed. It was the Rampion Crew on Scarlet and Wolf's wedding day, young people with dreams of immense happiness. 

"That has many of Da's friends. Maybe something else," he convinced, trying to not think much about the picture.

"I have never seen them. Why don't you invite them for New Year like we invite Mum's friends?"

"They live far away and are just too busy to come, Tara."

"Friends make time for each other, that's what Mum says," she countered. 

Having nothing to say to that, he changes the topic," Let's find some other picture."

"This one? " she suggested to the set of the same individuals in different places.

"Maybe we could take that one down," he concedes unwillingly.

They do remove it, much against his wish. Once they do, he smoothens the corner of his daughter's drawing to put in the frame. 

"Tada," she cheered when their work was done, both staring at the wall. 

"It does look nice," he admires.

"I'm born talented," she bragged, drawing a chuckle out of Kai. Tara is lost in her moment of glory and pride, her father holding himself from going down a path of nostalgia and grief. 

"Are you sad because we removed your friends from your gallery?"

"No darling, Da is so happy to see your drawing in his gallery."

"Then do you miss your friends?"

"Yes, Da is sad because he misses his friends," he says, trying to keep his sorrow from coming back to him. 

"Then you can call them and tell them you miss them," she suggests like a wise lady. He wishes he could find enough courage to do so.

"This New Year, we will invite them over. What do you say?" he asks, taking his child in his arms and carrying her to the couch. 

"Yes, I'm excited to meet all your friends," she cheered, her hands taking the old photo from the table and looking at it closely. 

"I know this lady. Teacher Yamin taught us about her. She is the Queen of Luna before forming a demo-mo something," she fumbles "--democratic government," Kai provides.

"Yes, she is the Queen Selene Blackburn of Luna, the last of her lineage," Kai explained, but to him, she was just Cinder, the mechanic, the revolutionary, one of his past mistakes- nothing that Tara needed to know. 

"I didn't know you were friends with the Queen, Da."

"I'm friends with the Queen, I'm friends with a lot of famous people. Even Queen Camilla."

"You don't have Queen Camilla's picture on the wall," she pointed. 

His daughter was a wise lady he thought.

"Queen Selene was better friends than Queen Camilla," he explained. 

"How is she?" she asked incredulously.

"Like all Queens are, Tara." He gave away nothing, Cinder had no place in his present especially not as a role model for his daughter. Daiyu was enough of a role model for her.

Before she could go on being a curious child, Kai decided to cut the conversation short. Glancing at the time and in relief said, "Your time's up, love. Torin must be waiting for me. I'd see you at dinner."

She said her goodbyes and walked out of the room, leaving Kai sitting behind on the couch. 

Going against his better judgment, he picked that photograph. It was years ago- when Kai's only worry was being able to follow in his father's footsteps. Cress had clicked it while Thorne and Cinder had teased him to no end about his first time eating street food. Those were some happy days, he remembered. 

He stood up, walked towards the wall and smiled proudly over his daughter's drawing. His eyes were drawn slowly to the other pictures on the wall, the ones he hadn't paid much attention to in the latter years.

Scarlet's wedding, Cinder's coronation, the first Lunar Ball, Kai's failed attempts at baking cakes- some scattered images of friendship and love all hung around on this very wall. 

With how slowly things fell apart, Kai didn't have much scope to pinpoint where things went wrong. One moment there were talks of forever and the other moment he had just never found time to know her, for her to know him. When visits became infrequent and talks always began with 'talk to you later', Kai knew it was a slow change but it had crept on them like dust being ladden on old clothes. And just like that he didn't feel so giddy about proposing and when they had opportunities to meet his excitement had a lingering feeling of impending doom. 

Kai was 18 when he fell in love with Cinder, 6 when he was fascinated with Selene and at 25 he had fallen out of love with both Cinder and Selene. Somewhere along the way she did too. No one to blame but themselves- not the distance or prejudice that separated them. Just not quite knowing each other after years of dating, "You were the best thing that happened to me, Kai." She had said the last time they had talked. 

From what he had learned, Cinder had moved on quickly too. Just because you find new people doesn't mean you stop loving old ones, Kai even after his marriage and children was still harbouring a soft spot for Cinder. No remorse over his situation now, he won't change his wife and daughter for anything in the world. He just felt sad over a possibility that could have happened if he was a simple man with basic needs. He had found his love in Cinder and his forever in Daiyu, his feelings for Cinder were just a recollection of the past like old roses on a summer breeze. Something pain strikingly beautiful but not meant for you. 

The phone rang and saved him from further getting carried down an old road he had memorised by heart. It was Torin.

"Yes, she went. You can come along. Also could you please arrange a box for me, I'd like to keep some things aside," he requested.

He collected all of the images of his friends and set them aside. If Tara continued her musings, he would need a bigger space to hang her paintings. Only one remained, Cinder's coronation with all of them smiling down at the camera thinking they had seen the worst of days.

_

A/N: This fic felt like writing about 'Sometimes Love Stays' from Kai's perspective and it's just better to accept things and move on than lament over it and I know it's easier said than done but it's the harsh truth, I hate it too.

Kaider do it before or after getting married or maybe after they are engaged? Thoughts?

In my mind it definitely doesn't happen before they get engaged. They're both extremely busy world leaders and even on the rare opportunity they have time to be intimate together, they're too exhausted. There are, for sure, heated make outs and maybe the occasional dry humping session to relieve sexual tension. But there's not full-blown sex until they're both living on the same planet--at the very soonest. And even at that point, they're both ridiculously busy with running the Commonwealth and wedding planning that I don't think they'd actually have the opportunity to until their honeymoon when no one is allowed to bother them. They'd spend a week on some tropical island fucking, catching up on well-deserved rest, and simply enjoying their alone time together.

THE WEDDING WAS WOLF AND SCAR????

*gasping sounds*

IT WAS SO SWEET ABDOANDOND

heheheheheheh YES IT WAS ITS SO GOOD

I LOVED THAT WITH ALL MY SOUL

Wolf and Scar are an old married couple to their very core and Cresswell is Newlywed vibes, meanwhile Kaider is idiots to lovers slow burn and Winter and Jacin are childhood best friends to lovers spurred on by worlds getting screwed up

[freddycartr]

i would give up my firstborn child to get the kaider wedding. ever since i finished stars above, i have thought of little else. like seeing what kai wrote for cinder for their vows? goddamn perfection. i could also see them doing a private ceremony with the rampion crew, with their family, without the media attention. it would be so intimate, private and perfect, exactly what they wanted, to say their vows in the company of those they love. kai and cinder are both breathless after their kiss, after they break apart, kai murmurs ‘i love you’ to cinder, and cinder whispers it back before kissing him again. thorne whistles loudly and they break apart laughing, before kissing each other again. toward the end of the night, the rampion crew vacates the dance floor leaving them alone, kai’s hands are around her waist and cinders around his neck. they would sway to the calm music, their foreheads pressed together. they can feel each others hearts beating at the same rhythm. kai is the first to pull away, looks her into eyes, and asks cinder “if you are not ready, then we can wait—” and is cut off with a kiss, before cinder says against his lips, “i want you, kai.” before she takes his hand and leads him to the room. the night is filled with love, gentleness, and desire, because they both have wanted each other for so long. and the morning after, they lay in bed, a tangle of limbs and sheets. cinder is woken up by kai’s kisses, slow and tender, his lips feeling like fire on her skin. cinder loves being in the warmth of kai’s arms, the feel of his body against hers, feels so right and she smiles at the memory their first dance at the ball, how she felt the same way, the sense of rightness at being within his arms. she never wants to leave, the warmth of him, his heat of his lips, is the most welcome warmth. she turns to face him, her fingers threading through his hair, she said, “you are breathtaking, kai.” his breath hitches, the memory of the night before lingering in the words, spoken from his lips in the night filled with heat. his smile is like the day breaking, as she pulls him close and kisses him. before they leave the warmth of the bed and each other, they share a long passionate kiss, and i love you’s murmured against their lips, neck, collarbones, shoulders and kisses that follow the words spoken against their skin. when they join the rest of the rampion crew in the kitchen, they are met with hugs and laughter. cinder pulls kai against her and kisses him, and the applause erupts, jacin let’s put a wolf whistle and thorne yells. i imagine thorne making fun of kai and cinder the morning after, kai blushing and cinder overheating and punching him. days after, they would do a wedding that is televised and they both wear traditional eastern commonwealth clothes. both looking fucking gorgeous. thorne, wolf or jacin fight over who gets to walk cinder down the aisle.

I know that this was Kai’s impression of Cinder with her unintentional use of glamour, but I’m curious to see what she would’ve looked like

Either way, I like how glamour (and Kai’s dislike of it) sort of highlights how valued genuineness is in a society full of deception (especially for mr emperor over here)

Wedding day kaider could maybe reference this be minus the use of glamour

one of the wedding options better be cinder running away bc she’s nervous and stuff and no one can find her but kai knows and despite iko’s complaints that they shouldn’t see each other on their wedding day, he goes anyways and finds cinder on a balcony of a random room except it isn’t random she’s been going here to calm herself by looking at the view every time she got stressed during her time in the palace then kai comes in with a knowing smile and goes to comfort her, “nervous,” he teases while cinder shakes her head, “i just don’t think i’ll be good enough to be empress”, “you said that before you were queen of luna, and you were incredible. you are what this country needs and deserves,” kai points out. cinder sighs, feeling slightly reassured, “at least i’ll have you this time,” he smiles, “every step of the way”

and then they get married woo-hoo
