Patience Gets Results

A few weeks later…

Hayato had managed to avoid Yamamato thus far. Ever since the baseball idiot had slept over, he felt uncomfortable around him since the Rain guardian's presence made the bomber unsure of himself.

Yet, today he had no choice. His sister, Bianchi, along with Juudaime's mother had requested the presence of Juudaime and his guardians. Irritated, he made his way to the Sawada residence.

Takeshi was anxious. For the past few weeks, Hayato had avoided him. But, today they would all be meeting at Tsuna's home. Nervous, Takeshi quickly made his way to his boss' home.

Arriving early, the baseball star watched in silence as Bianchi and Nana arranged and reviewed papers spread across the kitchen table. The two excited women were a scary sight. As they worked in unison their determination reminded Takeshi of Tsuna in Dying Will mode.

Shivering slightly, the Rain guardian sat in silence next to his boss on the couch. Both were afraid to be noticed, for fear of being put to work.

Hayato and the others listened attentively to his sister and Juudaime's mother. The two women divided tasks among the teens. Chrome and Mukuro were in charge of decorations and would be working directly with the brides. Hibari, who received his assignment upon arrival so that he could leave, would be in charge of security. Yamamato was in charge of food due to his father's sushi restaurant. Turf-top was in charge of invitations and seating. Hayato was in charge of entertainment.

The Storm guardian was relieved that he did not have to work with baseball idiot. That was until Reborn chimed in. The hit-man announced the wedding parties.

I-Pin and Lambo would be the Flower Girl and Ring Bearer. Lal Mirch and Colonello would be the Maid of Honor and Best Man. His father would walk Bianchi down the aisle while Juudaime walked with his mother. Hayato thought those choices were fitting and agreed with Reborn.

When Juudaime's sadistic tutor announced that the Groomsmen would be Hayato, Mukuro and Ryohei; the bomber felt anxious. As Reborn paired them up with Bridesmaids, Hayato felt his stomach drop. Haru would walk with turf-top, Chrome with Mukuro, and him with Yamamato.

"What the hell!" Rising from the couch, Hayato yelled at Reborn.

The hit-man smirked at the bomber. Pointing the Leon-shaped gun at Hayato's head, he stated, "There are not enough women. Do. Not. Argue."

Hayato gulped and sat down compliantly.

When Reborn winked at Takeshi, the baseball star's stomach flipped. The hit-man was on his side! He was going to help the Rain guardian.

Rehearsal Dinner

Arms linked behind his head, Takeshi leaned back in the ancient wooden chair. He waited with Muira and Chrome in the small room next to the brides' changing room where Lal Mirch, Bianchi and Tsuna's mother were.

Takeshi was nervous. Not only was he in the bridal party, but he would be walking down the aisle with Gokudera! Trying not to hyperventilate, he realized it was as if his dream was coming true.

Though tonight is only practice, butterflies were taking up residence in his stomach.

"It's time!" echoed over his earpiece as Tsuna entered.

Hayato stood between turf-top and Mukuro as they waited for the bridal party to join them. Grimacing, he watched as Haru linked her arm with turf-tops. Blushing, Chrome did the same with Mukuro.

Too soon, he found himself staring at Yamamato as the other waited to link arms.

Hibari's "I will bite you to death" startled Hayato. The cloud guardian was standing mere inches behind him. With tonfas out, grey eyes stared daggers at the bomber.

Glaring back, Hayato reached over and linked arms with Yamamato. "This is for Juudaime" he growled and began following the others.

Away from Hibari, Hayato began to relax. The arm linked around his was warm and… comfortable. Glancing to the side, his eyes widened. Yamamato was grinning foolishly. Blushing, the bomber tried to deny the flutter that was growing in the pit of his stomach.

Wedding Day

Like the rehearsal dinner, the wedding ceremony was flawless. Bianchi's white with red uchikake* trailed beautifully next to Nana's red with white uchikake. Skull and Reborn were dressed in black tux and red cummerbunds.

Though, as the wedding party entered the reception, it was the bridal party and groomsmen that the guests were whispering about. The groomsmen were led by Colonello, who was dressed in the formal grey uniform of the COMSUBIN. Ryohei, Mukuro and Hayato were dressed in tux with white cummerbunds.

The bomber's stomach flipped as he realized that they were mostly talking about the handsome couple he and Yamamato made. Gulping he glanced at the man walking next to him.

Wearing a black kimono and white with red obi, Yamamato matched Haru and Chrome whereas Lal Mirch wore a white with red obi.

Blushing, Hayato thought for the thousandth time today that Yamamato was gorgeous. Shaking his head, he took his seat at the wedding party's table.

Takeshi watched as the Disciplinary Committee passed out refreshments and cake. The day had been amazing so far. Not only did he get to walk down the aisle with Gokudera, after Reborn finishes his toast, he gets to dance with him!

Smiling, he watched as realization crept across the bomber's face in the form of a deep red blush. Gulping, the silver-headed man chugged his glass of champagne only to have it refilled by Kusakabe.

With a small laugh, Takeshi watched Ryohei escort Muira to the dance floor, followed by Mukuro and Chrome, as Gokudera chugged another glass before stomping towards the others.

Rising slowly, Takeshi place is half empty glass on the table and followed Gokudera. As he passed the brides and grooms, Reborn winked and smirked, causing his stomach to flip.

Hayato didn't know what was wrong with him. He had only drunk two glasses of champagne, yet it felt like he had downed a bottle of rum. Shaking his head to clear his thoughts, he became dizzy.

Suddenly, strong arms steadied him. Wrapping themselves around him, he began to sway with the music. Blinking, he slowly realized that Yamamato was holding him as they danced.

As another wave of dizziness took him, he rested his forehead against the baseball idiot's shoulder and mumbled, "What did I drink?"

At the sound of Yamamato's laugh, he looked up and found himself nose to nose with the other. Gulping, he had fought the urge to kiss him.

vvv

As Gokudera stared at Takeshi, he looked so vulnerable and lost that the rain guardian couldn't stop himself. Tilting his head slightly, he closed the distance between them. As their lips met, the bomber sighed and parted his. Slipping his tongue into Gokudera's mouth, he pulled the bomber's unresisting body to his.

"Mmm, nice." Gokudera mumbled as his arms encircled Takeshi.

Takeshi had caught Gokudera, and he wouldn't let go.
