With the passage of time John and Mariko gradually fell in love with
each other.  After Japan surrendered in 1945, John felt a little safer
venturing further out from Mariko’s house for more than a few miles.
But Mariko insisted that she go with him on every occasion.  A year
and a half had now passed since John had met Mariko.  Having been
confined to her house and the immediate surrounding, John had
developed a sense of claustrophobia, and he wanted to venture further
away as much as possible, but Mariko always insisted that it was too
risky.  Eventually, Mariko relented, and they both went to the town
that Mariko bought supplies whenever they were needed.

John was very happy to see people again after a year and a half.  But
he also had to deal with everyone’s stares, given the size
differential between himself and Mariko.  John took this opportunity
to buy some clothes and shoes in his size, and Mariko bought the
supplies that she needed, and they headed back to her house.  When
they got home, Mariko asked John what his plans were for the future.
John replied that he wasn’t sure, but that he wanted to write home to
his parents and let them know that he was ok.  After writing his
letter, he used Mariko’s address as the return address.  The next time
they went to town, he mailed the letter home.

Not long afterwards, John got a response from his parents.  His
parents were glad that he was alive and well.  But they also asked him
about his current whereabouts.
Before writing back, John decided that he needed to talk to Mariko,
and express his feelings for her.  John told Mariko that in the
eighteen months that he had known her, he had grown to like her more
and more, and that he was now in love with her.  Mariko also expressed
her feelings for him, and said that she loved him.  Their lovemaking
that night was more passionate than usual, and once again his body was
severely bruised by the next morning.

When John wrote back to his parents, he told them everything, and
stated that he planned on staying in Japan, at least for the near
future.  His parents wrote back to him, and asked for a picture of
himself and Mariko.  John discussed this with Mariko, and said that he
would like to take a picture with her in the nearest town.  And so,
the next time they went to town, they had their picture taken, and
John had it mailed to his parents.

When John’s parents saw the picture, they were shocked at Mariko’s
size.  They had always wanted their son to meet a beautiful woman,
but this was truly shocking.  It took a while for them to accept
reality, and they decided that if John was in love with her and vice
versa,  then it was fine with them as well.  They wrote back to him
after some time, and said that they were happy that he had finally
found a woman that he was in love with.

When John got the letter from his parents,  he informed Mariko that
his parents had been informed of the current situation, and that they
were happy for them.  Now it was Mariko’s turn to inform her parents.
Mariko’s family was from a town not too far from where she was
currently living.  She told John that they could take the train there,
and meet her family in person.  John was delighted, and they planned
their date of departure.

That date finally came, and they set out for her home town.  When John
finally met Mariko’s parents, he noted that she must have gotten her
size from her mother’s side of the family.  Mariko’s father wasn’t
small, but he was dwarfed by her mother.  Her mother was very tall and
voluptuous, but she was nowhere near as large as Mariko.  In short, no
one in Mariko’s family or the doctors could explain her immense
stature.  Mariko informed her parents that she was in love with John,
and that they had been living together for a year and a half.
Mariko’s parents expressed their reservations to her, but they also
expressed their happiness that she had finally found a man.  They
asked her if she planned on marrying him.  Mariko replied that they
had not yet discussed marriage, but that as far as she was concerned,
it was not out of the question.

They stayed at her parent's place for about a month.  John grew to
like her parents, and her parents also grew fond of John.  When it
came time for leaving, her parents said that they wished that the day
would come when John would join their family.

Another six months passed.  Now that they had known each other for two
years, John felt the time was right for him to pop the question.  When
Mariko heard this, she become overexcited with joy.  She bent down,
wrapped her arms around John, lifted him up and started to hug him
tighter and tighter.  John felt as if him ribs were going to snap or
splinter, and he begged her not to hug him that tightly.  Mariko was
so caught up in the moment that she didn't hear his screams.  She kept
hugging him for what seemed like an eternity, until she finally let up
and put him back down.  Tears of joy ran down her beautiful face, and
she couldn't stop crying. Finally, she accepted his proposal.  John
would have cried too, except that he was in too much pain from
Mariko's earlier embrace.  That night, Mariko ravaged his tiny body,
and when all was said and done, John felt as if a steamroller had
flattened him.

The next morning, they went to town to buy rings for their marriage.
They decided to get married in six months in Japan.  The following six
months went by quickly.  Mariko's wedding dress had to be specially
made for her, and John bought a black tuxedo.  John's family flew to
Japan for the wedding.

After the wedding, John's family flew back home, and John and Mariko
went on their honeymoon to Hawaii.  Each night, Mariko ravaged John's
petite little body, and by the end of their honeymoon John's body had
been severely bruised.  They returned home to Mariko's house, and
resettled in their normal routine.  They went on their usual walks,
but now they didn't have to worry about running into a stranger.  They
also tended to their garden, and shared the chores.
