One more after this guys. Thank you so much for reading thus far, it means the world to me~ *heart*
Today was the big day, and everyone was scrambling about, trying to make sure it was perfect. Whilst Kuroko was supposed to be suiting up, Aomine watched as the bluenette merely paced the room, clothed in nothing but a pair of boxers and socks.
Sighing, the tanned male looked to his watch. "Oi, Tetsu, you have ten minutes before this thing starts. You might want to get dressed now."
Kuroko flinched at the sound of his voice, having completely forgotten he was there. He sighed, running a hand through his still messy hair. "Do you think this is a good idea?"
Aomine paused, blinking. "You're having doubts?"
The smaller male shook his head vigorously. "No, I'm just. Do you think… Do you think he'll regret me?"
There was a long silence, painful for Kuroko, until Aomine grunted, rolling his eyes. "How stupid can you be, Tetsu? I'm sure he's already waiting out there, excited as hell to finally be marrying you. And he stood up for you, to his father of all people. I don't think he'll be throwing that away anytime soon."
Kuroko nodded, letting the words sink in. "Right… You're right."
Another soft grunt came from the taller man. "I know I'm right. But if he ever even thinks of regretting you, I'll kick his ass."
Kuroko smiled softly, shaking his head at his friend. "Yeah, okay. Oh! I'm going to be late!"
Meanwhile, Akashi stood at the front of the aisle, looking calm and collected, but feeling so nervous he might be sick. Sighing softly, he looked around him, wondering how Kise had managed this in such a short time.
Their wedding was now being held at one of the blonde's relative's mansion, outside in the back courtyard. The chairs were decorated with alternating red and blue bows, the wedding party stood under a large archway of red and purple roses, and the aisle was donned with a light violet runner, their initials monogrammed at the opposite end from where Akashi stood.
The redhead turned to Kise, standing directly to his side. "When did you get the aisle runner?"
Kise beamed at him, his eyes full of excitement and mirth. "Daiki-cchi and I ordered it as soon as we heard about the proposal. It's our wedding gift to you."
Akashi smiled softly. "You're a good friend, Ryouta."
The blonde's smile fell, replaced by a look of shock and awe. "T-thank you, Akashi-cchi. I try~" His smile was back in place now, brightening the whole area around him as usual, and Akashi couldn't help but smile back at him. He was truly grateful for all the blonde had done.
Just then, the piano player off to the left began playing the wedding march, and Akashi quickly turned to Kise for one last question.
"You have the rings, correct?"
Kise simply rolled his eyes. "Who do you think I am?"
The redhead turned back to the front just as the mansion's French doors opened to reveal Kuroko's side of the wedding party.
Midorima, Aomine, and finally, Kuroko. Akashi felt the very breath in his lungs being whisked away as he caught sight of his beloved. In all actuality, Kuroko didn't look much different. He wore his designated suit well, though, and he'd taken the time to slightly style his hair, so that it didn't look like the mop of blue it usually did. As Akashi watched him, though, everything else disappeared. He didn't even hear the priest's words right away, and Kuroko had to elbow him in the ribs to bring him back to reality.
"Wh- Oh. Yeah."
A round of soft, muffled laughter fluttered among the guests, causing Akashi's cheeks to burn a slightly pink tinge. Kuroko giggled softly at the sight, and once again, the redhead's heart was stolen.
He tried to pay attention to the priest for the remaining part of the ceremony, but in truth, he simply couldn't. But he knew his next line, and when Kuroko turned his big, expectant blue eyes toward him, he knew it was time.
"I do."
Kuroko smiled, holding his hand out. Akashi nearly jumped when he felt the tap on his shoulder, and he turned to take the rings from Kise. Laughing softly at himself, he pushed the ring onto the bluenette's finger and repeated, "I do."
The priest began to speak again, and Kuroko took the remaining ring from Akashi, nervously twisting it between his fingers as he waited for his turn. Finally, his smile grew so bright, Akashi felt as though he may go blind. The bluenette slipped the ring onto his beloved's finger, whispering, "I do."
"I now pronounce you happily married, you may-"
Akashi didn't wait for the priest to finish, pulling Kuroko into his arms tightly as he firmly placed his lips upon his. Kuroko laughed softly into the kiss, his hand coming up to caress the redhead's cheek. The two finally pulled apart, grinning like fools, and turned to make their way to the reception.

After all the toasts had been made, dances had been danced, and food had been eaten, Akashi made his way over to the beverage table to get two more glasses of champagne for him and his new husband. As he turned back to his original table, the two glasses in hand, he found he'd been approached by none other than his father.
Akashi raised a brow slightly, curious as to what the man had to say to him. "Can I help you, Father?"
Masaomi smiled, and the redhead was surprised to find that it reached his eyes. "No, son. I just wanted to congratulate you on your marriage." Akashi stood, dumbfounded, staring at his father in silence. The man simply looked over to Kuroko, a small laugh on his lips. "I was wrong to have doubted you, Seijuro. You've got a good young man there."

At the end of the reception, before the couple was to make their leave for their honeymoon, everyone gathered outside. Kise and Midorima went around the guests, passing out a single white sky lantern to every one. Finally, the blonde skipped back to the happy couple, clapping excitedly.
"It's ready~ Ah, it's going to be so beautiful~"
Kuroko smiled, but Akashi was the one to speak. "I'm sure it will, but it certainly won't be the most beautiful sight I've seen today."
The bluenette beside him blushed heavily as he turned his crimson eyes toward him, throwing in a wink for good measure. Kise simply laughed at the two, muttering, "So cute~" before turning to the crowd.
"Okay, everyone~" he sang, "Let them fly~"
Akashi wrapped an arm around his love, pulling the bluenette into his chest as he kissed the top of his hair. Kuroko smiled, his heart fluttering at the gesture, as he watched the sky light up with a new bunch of makeshift stars.
"It really is beautiful," he said softly.
Akashi nodded. "It is," he turned, lifting the smaller man's chin to face him, "but my statement still stands."
Another blush enveloped Kuroko's cheeks as he allowed the redhead's lips to meet his own once more.

Despite all of the traveling issues with the wedding itself, Akashi made sure that their honeymoon plans would stay intact. It was now their third day in Agra, India, and the couple were making the most of it.
They'd walked the beautiful paths, gazed at the intricately designed arches, made memories in a place Kuroko had never even dreamed of. As the two walked along one evening, the sun slowly sinking in their night sky, Kuroko turned his curious gaze to Akashi.
"Where are we going so late, Seijuro?"
Akashi smiled, never looking away from the path before him. "You'll see, Tetsuya. We're almost there."
It wasn't long before they arrived at their destination, and Kuroko gawked as they stood before the Taj Mahal.
"You know," Akashi began, easily grasping Kuroko's attention, "the Taj Mahal is a monument of love. Long ago, there was a man, Shah Jahan, and a woman, Arjumand Banu. It was love at first sight for Shah Jahan. They were married some years later.
When Shah Jahan became emperor, he bestowed his wife with the title of Mumtaz Mahal, meaning 'Jewel of the Palace.' When she died, he began the task of creating the most beautiful monument in her memory. It took twenty-two years, but look at it now, Tetsuya."
Kuroko stared in awe at the scene before him, the remaining sunlight hitting it just right so that it seemed but a magnificent dream. "You can practically see the love that was poured into it…"
Akashi smiled, nodding. "You can, can't you?"
"… I heard something about the Taj Mahal once."
The redhead blinked, looking to his love in curiosity, only to find the bluenette's cheeks warmed with a blush, his gaze refusing to leave the wonder before them.
"I-I heard that, if you kiss the one you love in front of the Taj Mahal, at sunset, y-you'll know if your love is t-true."
The redhead smiled softly, finding Kuroko to be too cute for his own good. He turned to face him, watching as the smaller male's eyes widened slightly. "I already know our love is true," he said, caressing the bluenette's cheek, "but would you like to be sure anyway?"
Kuroko smiled, "I already know, too. But I'll never give up a chance to kiss you."

That evening, Akashi told Kuroko to retrieve his things, as they were moving to another residential location. He had refused to tell Kuroko where and why, but the bluenette had obeyed, and soon they were checking into a most magnificent place, The Oberoir Amarvilas. The Kohinoor Suite, to be exact.
As the two headed up to their room, Kuroko grew all the more curious. "Why did we come here, Seijuro?"
The redhead smiled, a knowing glint in his eye. "The view is much better."
Kuroko's brows furrowed as his lover unlocked their room. "View…?" As soon as he stepped into the room, he understood the redhead's words. Directly across from the entrance was a set of French doors that opened to the balcony. And past the balcony walls, was the most amazing view of the Taj Majal from afar.
Kuroko, instantly drawn to the scene, shuffled over, his mouth agape as he stared at the wonder. Akashi, smiling to himself, walked up behind him. He wrapped his arms around his husband's waist, kissing his neck.
"Do you like it, Tetsuya?"
The bluenette smiled. "The way the moon shines down on it… It seems to sparkle as bright as the stars."
Nuzzling his head in the crook of Kuroko's neck, Akashi kissed his skin once more. "I'll take that as a yes, then," he chuckled.
Kuroko paused for a moment, before turning sharply within the redhead's grasp. He wrapped his arms around his lover's neck, kissing him softly. "I love you so much, Sei."
Akashi's cheeks were instantly brightened, but that faded as he took in the sight of his beloved before him. The way the moonlight's beams shone upon his hair was enticing, and his big, crystal eyes were guarded by heavy eyelids, just low enough to accent the bluenette's long lashes. Akashi gulped, feeling his jeans tighten around him.
"T-Tetsuya," he breathed, and the bluenette shivered.
"Me too," was all he said, and in an instant, Akashi had lifted him from the floor and made his way to the bed. He gently placed Kuroko down onto the sheets before crawling on top of him, kissing his lips, face, neck- anywhere he could reach.
Kuroko moaned softly as the redhead sucked on the nape of his neck. "S-Sei… Hurry…"
Akashi smiled as a shudder traveled down his spine. He shot back up, and in a blur, removed all of their clothing, leaving Kuroko to vaguely wonder how he'd done so, as he didn't remember moving at all.
But that thought went out the window as Akashi's lips were on him once more, this time near his navel, traveling downward. Kuroko's body arched slightly as the redhead's lips brushed along his member, crimson eyes meeting his own crystal ones.
Before Kuroko could properly respond to the scene, Akashi wrapped his mouth around him, engulfing him completely as he earned a moan from the smaller man.
"Sei…"
Akashi's own erection became that much harder at the sound of his name on his lover's tongue, and a single hand reached down to lightly fondle his own manhood. After a moment, he released Kuroko from within his mouth, replacing his lips with his hand as he crawled back up to kiss the bluenette once more.
"Are you ready, Tetsuya?"
The smaller male shivered slightly, but he nodded vigorously. "P-please."
Akashi smiled, kissing the corner of his mouth before sitting back slightly. Though his love had said he was ready, the redhead pushed a single finger within him, just to be certain. He wasn't expecting the high arch of Kuroko's back, nor the whimper that escaped him. With his own heart pounding at the very sound, Akashi slipped another finger in for good measure, and with another involuntary whine from the bluenette, he decided he truly was prepared.
Pulling his fingers back, he placed himself at Kuroko's entrance, looking down at him seriously. "Tetsuya?"
"H-hm?"
"I love you."
The bluenette opened his mouth to repeat the words back to him, but was effectively cut off as Akashi pushed inside, eliciting the loudest moan yet. The redhead smiled, basking in the warmth that now surrounded him.
They started out slow, Akashi relishing in Kuroko's pants and other lewd sounds, until Kuroko decided he didn't want to be treated so nicely anymore. As the redhead pulled back, readying himself to slowly push back in, the bluenette thrusted his hips, sending Akashi back in full force. This time it was Akashi's turn to moan in pleasure, and it only made Kuroko more determined. They soon began moving as one, quick and rough, with no regard to the pain their bodies would be in by morning.
Kuroko's nails dug into the bare skin of Akashi's back, as the redhead's teeth found his lover's neck once more. Akashi laughed softly to himself as he felt a warm liquid dripping down his back. So Kuroko had broken the skin. A new fire alit in his crimson eyes, and he thrusted into the bluenette with all of his might, earning a well-placed scream from the smaller man.
Akashi continued to do this, relishing in Kuroko's sounds and touches once more, until the bluenette emptied himself against their chests, Akashi following suit within him.
The two lay there for a few more seconds, breathing harshly as they stared lovingly into one another's eyes.
"E-even though, we've already…" Akashi began, but the words wouldn't come, as his brain suddenly wondered what words even were. But Kuroko, a small laugh in his throat, nodded, finishing for him.
"It's d-different…"
Akashi smiled. "Better, even."
Kuroko smiled back, but his breath hitched in his throat as Akashi suddenly pulled out of him. He shuddered once more as he exhaled slowly, his eyes slipping closed of their own will.
The redhead watched him in awe, wondering how he'd been so lucky to marry this man. Grinning to himself, he curled up next to his love, draping an arm across his chest.
"Tetsuya~"
"H.. Hm?"
"I love you~"
