Summary/Notes/Warnings: Love has a cost, and Nadeshiko is willing to pay it.

On a teacher's salary, he warned, he couldn't promise her a fancy ceremony. She laughed and said that was okay. Love never need be adorned.

Being older than her, he warned, meant he couldn't promise her friends wouldn't think this was weird. She laughed again. Being sixteen, she pointed out, meant that she couldn't promise he’d keep his job.

Being who she was, he warned, he couldn't promise that her family would ever speak to them again. She said that was fine too. Wasn’t he her family now? In any case...

What is love worth if it doesn't cost anything?
