This is kind of a post for random comment-sized fics. I'll be putting them in the comments and indexing them as needed.

Note that most of the Garo entries take place in a kind of High School AU set in the world of Kamen Rider Fourze. Yes, it's complicated. Some others take place in the Go-Busters universe.

GARO Makai Senki, weddingverse, Leo about his unexpected EMC adventure

[estirose]

Leo got temporarily stuck in the world of the Go-Busters.

"I'm so glad you're back," Kaoru-san tells me warmly. Gonza-san is serving a light snack; Kaoru-san said she was going to try to make me something, but everybody knows better to allow her anywhere near the kitchen. Kaoru-san is brave and a good artist, but a horrible cook."I can't imagine how horrible it was...."

"It wasn't bad, Kaoru-san," I hurry to reassure her. Sakurada-san had been very understanding when I'd ended up in his bed, and the holding cell, while sparse, wasn't a bad place to stay for a few hours. If anyone checked up on me after I went to sleep, I'd never know.

Sakurada-san had visited me briefly after he'd gotten up for the morning and made sure I had breakfast. He'd taken to having an unexpected intruder in bed very well, I think.

And, of course, Kouga-san had come before lunch. I was just glad that he'd appeared in the cell and not outside, given he'd appeared with sword drawn. I hadn't precisely jumped into his arms, but I certainly didn't want to spend any more time in the cell than I had to. As soon as Kouga-san gave me my brush (and my sword), it was easy to get us out of there.

"But still! A cell on a military base. It must have been very scary."

I smile. "I was asleep during most of it." Half of it, at least. I don't want Kaoru-san to worry. She's got enough on her mind.

Like her wedding. Both of them. One will be a small one for friends, in one of those western chapels.

One of them will be a Makai one, the one that counts in our world. That one's more complicated, and will only have a few people present: Jabi-san and Rekka-san, myself, Rei-san, Gonza-san, and of course the bride and groom. Outsiders would probably be alarmed at the use of magic in the ceremony, as well as the fact that we literally tie bride to groom during the ceremony. It's a test, of sorts, to make sure the marriage will last.We're very serious about our weddings.

Jabi-san will be presiding, with Rekka-san's help. I offered to join in - extra priests are always welcome - but Jabi-san told me that I wasn't needed in that role. There's no other role in the wedding that I can think of, so I expect I will just be an observer. It's up to Jabi-san, of course; nobody would gainsay her, even Kouga-san, in what she has planned.

Though the fact that Rekka-san practically attacked me with a tape measure after I got back and told me to stop squirming was a little alarming, to say the least. There isn't anything special that I should be wearing as a participant so I'm not sure what Jabi-san has in mind.

I regret not meeting Kaoru-san before Kouga-san did. I would rather be the one marrying her. But I'm not going to make either of them unhappy.

"Still, Leo-kun." She looks up at me wide-eyed.

"I've been in worse situations." There's little I can do to assure her that it's not going to happen again. My work is dangerous, both as a Knight and a Priest. I'm sure to be recalled to my own area soon, and the only reason I'm still here is because of the wedding.

And I know she knows it too. She ducks her head a little. She knows what kind of life Kouga-san has and I have. She is going into this with open eyes and and open heart.

I swear to myself that I will make her wedding day the happiest in her life.
