Aomine Daiki hates weddings.

The people, the flowers, the cheesy decorations that were way too expensive for anyone to buy. Most of all, he hates how he needs to pretend that he's okay having his longtime crush marrying someone else.

Kagami Taiga is getting married today and Aomine doesn't like it one bit. He first figured out that he was in love with the dense redhead was during one of their one-on-ones. Kagami got a little too close to the brute and the redhead fell on top of the male. One thing led to another and they soon found themselves kissing.

It was a quick kiss and Kagami immediately apologized and went on a rant about "having no idea where that came from" but Aomine could only stare and let his mind wander.

Another man kissed him and he liked it.

A lot.

Pretty soon, he started to notice everything about Kagami. The way he dressed, the way he moves during basketball, the small laugh that he gives during practice, all of it. Aomine found himself falling in love with it all. Now, he's standing beside the one he loves at the altar, waiting for his bride to walk down the aisle.

"Can you believe it Aomine? I'm getting married today!" the redhead exclaimed with delight. The brute bit his tongue and offered his best friend a fake smile.

"I know Kagami. That's some big stuff eh?"

"I can't wait!" Kagami smiled happily as more guests began taking their seats. Aomine gripped his hands into fists. "Hey, Kagami. I'll be back. Just gotta head to the bathroom."

"Huh? Sure Aomine! Hurry back!" the redhead straight his tuxedo.

When Aomine reached the bathroom, he slammed the door opened and headed straight towards the sink. The imaginary hand was squeezing his lungs, making it hard for him to breathe. He felt the room spin around him. He needed to get out of there. He couldn't do this. He can't do this.

"Aomine-kun?" he heard a voice snapped him back into reality. The brute turned around to find Kuroko standing with the door slightly opened.

"Oh. Hey Tetsu. What's up?" Aomine asked casually. The tealhead frowned before shutting the door and walking over to the tall man.

"You should tell him."

Aomine snorted. "Why? So he can magically realize that he's gay all this time and fall in love with me?"

Kuroko frowned even more. "No. You need closure Aomine-kun. I know he's your best friend but you can't be serious about putting yourself through this torture." Aomine sighed heavily and turned to face the mirror once again.

"I have to do this. He's my best friend and I'm the best man. I can't let him down."

The tealhead sighed and placed a hand on Aomine's shoulder. "I know. I just really hope you're ready for this."

"Of course I'm not but what choice do I have?" the brute's voice sounded raspy. Kuroko pulled the taller man into a hug, trying to squeeze the pain out of him. Aomine could only hug back and bit his lip to stop himself from crying.

A knock on the door was made. "Kuroko. Aomine. Kagami is waiting for us. We're about to start."

"Okay. Thank you Midorima-kun. We'll be out."

Once they heard footsteps leaving, they broke their hug and smiled sadly at each other. "After this, let's skip the after party? Go somewhere else?" Kuroko said hopefully. Aomine shook his head and opened the bathroom door.

"I can't. I have to make a speech."

The tealhead sighed and followed him out the door. "Okay. Then after?" he asked again. This time, the brute nodded. "After the speech, we'll get away from here. Thanks, Tetsu."

"Anything for my friend" Kuroko winked, lightening the mood a bit. They reached the altar and stood in their place, sensing the crowds' eyes were on them. Aomine swallowed hard and glanced at his best friend who stood on his right.

Kagami was breathing heavily and his hands were shaking with nerves. Without thinking, Aomine placed a hand on the redhead's shoulder and whispered in his ear. "Relax. Everything will turn out great."

The nervous male nodded and instantly relaxed once he heard the brute's voice. Aomine smiled before the music started to play. He bit his cheek as he saw his best friend's girlfriend—now fiancee—and now soon to be wife—walking down the aisle in a white dress. All the attention of the crowd was on the woman. Her blond hair was put up in a braided crown, her veil flowing beautifully past her shoulders. She wore a strapless ballgown dress that glistened as the sun shined down on it. As if on cue, the birds in the surrounding trees started to sing along with the music, giving the ceremony a fairy tale feel. When she reached the altar, she kissed her father on the cheek and took the redhead's hand in hers.

Before the celebrant started to speak, a couple of fish from the lake behind him gave a few splashes as if they were congratulating the couple on their big day.

"Now since both the birds and fishes have established their presence, let's get started, shall we?" he joked, making the crowd laugh. "Ladies and gentlemen, family and friends, we are gathered here today to witness and celebrate the joining of Kagami Taiga and Kuchiki Narumi in marriage. With love and commitment, they have decided to live their lives together as husband and wife."

Aomine felt like his stomach was tightening in knots.

"If anyone has any reason why these two shouldn't be allowed to marry, speak now or forever hold your peace."

The brute bit his tongue and gripped the side of his pants so he couldn't shout out. He must stay strong. He must not say anything.

The celebrant breathed a sigh of relief and continued on with the ceremony. "Kagami Taiga and Kuchiki Narumi, today you choose each other before your family and friends, to begin your life together. For all the tomorrows that follow, you will choose each other over and again, in the privacy of your hearts. Let your love and friendship guide you as you learn and grow together. Experience the wonders of the world, even as patience and wisdom calm the restless nature. Through your new partnership, may you triumph over the challenges in your path. Through the comfort of loving arms, may you always find a safe place to call home." Some people started to weep and even the bride dapped her eyes.

Aomine felt like he was going to be sick. He blinked a few times and started to let his mind wander, wishing he was anywhere else.

"Do you Kagami Taiga, take Kuchiki Narumi to be your wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do you part?"

He held his breath.

"I do," his best friend said without any hesitation. Aomine bit his inner cheek once again to keep himself from crying. Now since he heard those two words, everything became real.

Those words just stabbed him in the chest and he felt like he couldn't breathe once again. He wanted to escape. He needed to get out so no one could see how broken he felt.

A small hand on his shoulder relaxed the brute greatly. He remembered Kuroko's promise. He just had to hang in there just a bit longer.

"And now, by the power vested in me, I hereby pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss your bride."

Kagami and his woman stepped closer together and sealed their fate with a kiss. Everyone clapped and cheered for the happy couple.

Everyone but one.

Aomine stood his place as he watched the couple walking to the door on the aisle, their hands linked together. Kagami is married. He has a wife now and Aomine never felt more broken.

"Aomine-kun. Let's go get you a drink before the party." Kuroko grasped the brute's wrist and guided him towards a tree, where they could be alone. The tealhead opened his jacket up to reveal a small bottle of tequila from his pocket.

"Where the hell did you get that?"

"I figured you might need it," Kuroko said as he handed the bottle to his friend. Aomine took it and chug the entire thing in three gulps. Feeling the familiar buzz, the brute sighed and handed back the empty bottle to the shorter male.

"Thanks, Tetsu. I owe you one."

"We'll get more for you after the party. I don't want to embarrass yourself giving a drunk speech."

Aomine chuckled and ruffled his friend's hair. "I swear Tetsu. You're like a mom." Kuroko rolled his eyes and removed the big tan hand. "I get to practice at my kindergarten class." They both started to chuckle as people left the lake and onto where the party was going to be held. Both men sighed and started to head towards the car, where Kise and Midorima were waiting for them.

"Aominecchi! Kurokocchi! Hurry! We have to beat Kagamicchi and his new wife there!" Kise said happily. The brute grunted and opened one of the car doors open.

"What? What did I say?" the blond asked. Both Kuroko and Midorima shook their heads before they all went inside the car and drove away.

Once they arrived at the banquet hall, they were greeted with nothing but red and yellow. Red ribbons. Yellow flowers. Seeing all of these colors were making Aomine sick.

"Let's go! Our seats are over here!" Kise yelled as he raced to the table at the end of the room. All three men sighed and slowly walked down the man-made aisle. Both on his left and right were nothing but red and yellow themed tables. Each table had its own chandelier, making the colors stand out even more. Once they reached the end of the tables, they were greeted by the dance floor and behind the dance floor, the wedding party table was standing.

On the right was the DJ setting up his equipment while on the left was a huge bar that had three men in uniform cleaning.

Aomine couldn't wait until he could drink again.

"Come on you guys! We have assigned seating! I'm so excited!" Kise kept rambling on and on about loving weddings. Midorima sighed as he pushed up his glasses. "I don't see the point of spending so much money on a wedding," he said casually. Kise gasped and told him many reasons why it's a great idea to spend money on weddings. Aomine groaned and placed his head against the table.

A few hours later, the newlyweds arrived and the party could finally begin. They served steak with potatoes and vegetables, a course that Kagami always says that it's his favorite. The dessert was Anmitsu, a dish that the bride says she'll enjoy forever. Once the guests were full and had a great time taking pictures with the couple, Kagami gave a speech to his in-laws before announcing that his best man created a speech for this particular day.

Aomine stood up from the table and gripped the microphone until his knuckles turned white. He breathed heavily and put a fake smile on his face.

"I just wanna congratulate my best friend Kagami…" he paused as he met eye contact. "For finding happiness in his life." the crowd cheered. Aomine blinked his tears away before he continued on. "I knew Kagami back in high school. We played basketball together almost every afternoon and to this day, he hasn't beat me" the brute smirked, letting the crowd laugh as his forced joke.

"But today, he has beaten me at something. Love. He found love and I'm happy that he found someone as lovely as Kuchiki here" he forced himself to finally look at the glowing wife. She gave him a teary smile and grasped Kagami's hand.

Aomine swallowed the lump in his throat, praying that his voice won't sound raspy. "So, I would like to give a toast. To Kagami and Kuchiki. May their days be blessed with happiness and basketball games." He raised his glass up and people started to clap. He chugged the entire cup before he sat down next to Kagami, who was gaping at the tan male.

"What?" Aomine asked him. Kagami gave him a warming smile and punched his shoulder playfully. "Who would've thought you can say something so sentimental?" he chuckled. Aomine rolled his eyes and glanced at Kuroko.

"No really. Thank you Aomine."

The brute froze at the tone of his voice. He made the mistake of making eye contact with the redhead once again. "F-For what?" his voice cracked. Kagami gave him his signature smile, the smile that his eyes closed and his teeth showed, before replying.

"Thank you for saying something so wonderful. Both me and my new wife Kuchiki will cherish it for the rest of our lives."

Aomine's chest felt heavy once again.

"Ladies and gentlemen! I would like to invite the bride and groom onto the dance floor for their first dance together" the DJ spoke. The crowd cheered and within an instant, Kagami was gone. Aomine stood up from his seat and walked over to the bar, where he ordered three shots immediately.

"Aomine-kun?" he heard his friend behind him. He downed the alcohol quickly, feeling the buzz from earlier, before meeting bright blue eyes.

"How was that? Do you think everyone bought it?" he ordered another three. Kuroko frowned heavily and signaled for someone to come over.

"I apologize Aomine-kun but I can't come with you right at this moment."

"What? What do you mean?"

"Akashi-kun has asked for my help dealing with the catering and the wild guests. I can come with you right after."

Aomine grunted and chug the other three, feeling a bit light-headed.

"I've asked Kise-kun to take you to the nearest bar. I'll find you both right after okay?"

"Tetsu oh no please no. Anyone but him."

"How rude Aominecchi!" Kise was right next to Kuroko in a blink. Aomine rolled his eyes and set his head against the counter. "I'll take care of him Kurokocchi. Don't you worry!" the blond boosted and grasped the brute's wrist. Kuroko gave him a small smile before he heard a familiar voice calling him.

"You might want to leave before Kagami drags him to the dance floor to dance with Kuchiki," the tealhead said. Quickly, Aomine stood up and grasped Kise's hand back.

"Let's go blondie."

"O-Ow! Aominecchi! Wait!" Kise yelled as the two males disappeared in the crowd, heading towards the double doors that lead to the outside world.
