I don't think I will have a lot of time to write in here for the next couple of weeks. Today I am marrying the love of my life. After that, we will be on our honeymoon and no way in hell would I be wanting to take any time away from her. Got to make sure she knows how hot and amazing I find her and how grateful I am she allowed me to be her husband. But, I felt I should write something in here before I go off and get married. Just in case I want to relive this memory years from now.

Sebastian tapped his pen against his chin. As he sat at the desk in his apartment, tux on and tie all ready to go, he furrowed his eyebrows. He could hear the ruckus of Joseph and the others about the apartment trying to get last minute things done. To him, journal writing happened to be his last-minute task.

His eyes narrowed at the entry he had written so far. It honestly lacked something to him, but what? He tapped the ball of the pen now against the journal page. The rhythmic tapping didn't help. But, at least the noise distracted him from the quickened heartbeat and the slight sweat he felt forming on his body. To think he would be experiencing such on the day of the ceremony. He thought he would be over his nerves by now.

A soft sigh escaped his lips as he heard the door open. Shit. Was it time to leave already? He looked over to see Joseph peeking into the room. "You ready? We will be leaving in a few minutes."

Sebastian nodded. "Yeah. Just trying to figure out something really quick." He said before turning back towards the journal. He heard the door shut behind him. However, as he twirled the pen between his fingers, he tensed up at noticing someone standing to his right. He quickly glanced up to see Joseph. Well, fuck.

"You do journal writing?" Sebastian huffed at hearing Joseph ask that. At least Joseph didn't sound judging about it. But, his cheeks still faintly reddened at being caught doing this.

"Yes." He answered quickly while leaning over to try and hide the journal from sight. Just anything to keep Joseph from being able to read the words.

Joseph shrugged softly and turned away from Sebastian. "I am not going to look." He said in some attempt to keep Sebastian from looking like some territorial animal getting angered at territory invasion. "But, did you want any help there? Not like you can sit there all day. You got a marriage ceremony to attend that you are the groom of I might add."

Sebastian leaned back and relaxed a tad bit. "I…want to make sure this entry is special." He looked up at Joseph. "I don't know how to do that."

He noticed Joseph furrow his eyebrows and then his eyes widened at feeling Joseph take his pen away from him. "Hey! What are you doing?"

Joseph didn't answer. Instead, Sebastian watched Joseph place the pen on the paper and write something.

Easy. You make it different by doing something like this.

Sebastian huffed softly. "I…guess that works." He noticed the faint smirk on Joseph's face as Joseph put the pen down.

"Better than being late to your own ceremony debating such a thing." Joseph walked away from Sebastian. "Now come on."

Sebastian stood up from the chair. He looked back at the journal and gripped the pen quickly.

That last line was from Joseph Oda, my detective partner….and friend. Maybe next year, I'll be writing about him getting married. He deserves a nice and amazing partner-

"Sebastian, come on." Sebastian heard Joseph say and Sebastian chuckled.

"I am!" He called back with a smile on his face.

And I won't accept any less for Joseph.

He placed the pen down and followed Joseph, heading to the next chapter in his life of being a married man.
