*munches happily on pocky*
~*Chap. 3*~
It has been three days since I proposed to Ryuichi. Yes, I actually did it. I have been radiating since that night. I can't stop smiling. I'm marrying my angel. It seems so unreal, yet every time I think it's a dream, reality comes up and bites me on the ass, or maybe that was the neighbor's dog, but still. Today I am meeting up with Suguru and Shuichi to discuss the wedding preparations. Suguru is awesome. I met him a few times and I like him a lot. He and Shuichi's friend, Hiro, have been dating recently and it's very funny to watch them together. Hiro is all over the boy, yet Suguru is like a fumbling virgin! I swear, those two crack me up! Erie was supposed to come, but he said his book was overdue so he had to stay back and type. Oh well, I don't wanna see what Erie would would suggest for my wedding day. I shudder at the thought. Ryuichi is off working on the new Nittle Grasper CD. I can't wait until that's done.
I look at my watch and notice that Shuichi is late. So Shuichi-like. Suguru and I have been waiting for 30 minutes for the bouncing singer, and it seems we will be waiting longer.
"Anou, Tatsuha-kun, do you think something could have happened to him?" Suguru asks me. I shook my head.
"Nah, he probably pissed off Erie and now Erie's beating the shit out of him." I joke. Suguru laughs. He's a cute kid. Hiro is lucky. But then again, so am I.
"La Li Ho!" Shuichi yells as he jumps at us.
"Shuichi…" I begin but notice he's sitting ontop of Suguru.
"Hahah! Hiro told me all about last night…you animal you…" Shuichi teases Suguru, which makes the younger boy blush three shades of red.
"Shuichi!" Suguru yells at him. Shuichi laughs and jumps off of him.
"Ne, you weren't waiting long were you?" Shuichi asks me.
"Yes. 30 minutes to be precise." I tell him.
"The truth is, I saw some kids harassing a turtle…" I cut him off.
"Enough, enough Shuichi, we don't wanna hear about your journey to a palace under the sea." I tell him. He smiles.
"Then let's go! I'm so happy you are getting married to Sakuma-san, Tatsuha!" His eyes turn to stars. "I remember Yuki's and mine wedding day…Yuki looked so wonderful in his black tux, all I could do was think of what was to come afterwards. Are you wearing tuxes Tatsuha?" He stops rambling and looks at me. Suguru sweatdrops.
"Nope, Ryuichi and I don't want a traditional wedding. We are going casual. Pair of dress pants, some button up loose fitting silk shirts, and shoeless." I look at Suguru, he's smiling.
"That's so romantic! Are you doing it in a church?" He asks me. I shake my head.
"No, on the beach, in Tahiti. We've already scheduled a date and all. All we need to do is hire caterers and get the outfits you guys are gonna wear." I tell them.
"Who's all going to be in the wedding?" Shuichi asks. I didn't think about that one. Damn.
"Well, there's you two, then Tohma, Mika, and I think Ryuichi wants Noriko's daughter, Saki, as the ring bearer. Mika and Noriko are going to be the only flower girls. It's not going to be big, Just a few, less than 10." I tell them. We arrive at my favorite restaurant and get a table in the back. The waitress comes and takes our orders then leaves.
"Tahiti, who's paying for all the tickets and stuff? That's a lot of money." Suguru says. I whip out Ryuichi's checkbook.
"He told me to just fill in the amount, he's already signed all the checks. He said he didn't care how much." I tell them.
Shuichi smiles, oh dear lord, I shouldn't have said that.
"How many plane tickets are there?" Suguru asks me.
"Well there's me, Ryu-chan, Shuichi, Yuki, Mika, Tohma, Noriko, Saki, Hiro, Suguru, and K." I count them on my fingers. "11 if we take a plane, but Tohma arranged it for us to use Nittle Grasper's private plane. Isn't that great?" I smile.
"What about the caterers?" Shuichi asks.
"Well, I think we are going to hire them when we get to Tahiti. You know? So the food doesn't spoil or anything." I tell them. They nod. We get our food and eat quickly. We are supposed to meet Noriko and Mika at the tailors in half an hour. We have to get them fitted for their dresses and pay.
"Where are you guys going for a honeymoon?" Shuichi asks. I smile at the question.
"Well, we are going to Paris." Shuichi's draw drops to the floor and Suguru spits out his water.
"P-Paris?!" Shuichi screams. "Yuki only took me to Thailand!"
"Paris! How romantic!" Suguru smiles with shojo bubbles floating around him.
"Yeah, we are staying there for five days and six nights." I finish eating and pay for the tab.
"Anou, Tatsuha, what day is the wedding exactly?" Shuichi asks me. Oh! I forgot to begin sending out the few wedding invitations!
"The 27th of August." (1). I tell them. Suguru snaps out of his daydream.
"The 27th! That's in 2 weeks! That's not enough time to get everything ready!" He blinks. "Is it?" I laugh.
"Yes it is. The outfits we can just buy, the girl's dresses will be done in a week, and well, it's only an 8-hour flight. It's enough time." I tell him. "Now come on, we have to go meet up with Mika and Noriko." I grab their hands with one of mine and begin running.
"Tatsuha! Slow down!" Suguru yells at me. I stop and turn at to them.
"Have you ever met a very pissed off Mika?" I ask them. Shuichi nods.
"Yeah, actually I have…" Shuichi shudders at the thought. Yeah, I have heard about his experience with Mika, not a pretty one from what I gathered.
"Okay, scratch that, Suguru, have you ever seen Mika waiting, pissed, and on the rag? Not a pretty picture, now we have 10 minutes! Let's go!" I again seize their hands and pull them with me. It was an 8 minute or so run to the tailor shop. When we arrived, we had only a few seconds to spare. Mika was grinding her teeth together, Noriko was filing her nails, and the little girl next to her, who I guess is Saki, is playing with a pink bunny.
"Mika!" I yell as we entered the shop. She looks down, then up at the clock, then at me.
"You're two minutes late." She says coldly. I hold my hands infront of my face.
"Ah! Gomen nasai!" I try to apologize. She stares stonily at me then smiles brightly.
"It's okay Tatsuha-chan!" She smiles. Shuichi laughs, as does Suguru.
"Ahh! Shu-kun!" Noriko jumps to him. "Nice to see you!" She hugs him tightly. She and him have become closer over the months.
"Hiya! And who is this little angel?" He gestures toward the little girl hiding behind Noriko. Noriko forces Saki to come foreword.
"This is my baby, Saki." Saki smiles shyly. Shuichi scoops her up in his arms.
"And who is this?!" He smiles at her little doll.
"T-This is Kuma-chan. Uncle Ryuichi gave him to me." Saki says shyly. I watch this with a smile. Shuichi should have kids of his own. I could just imagine how Erie would react.
"Well, Ryuichi also gave me one too! Maybe one-day mommy will let me baby-sit you and our Kuma's can play together! Would you like that?" Shuichi smiles at her which makes Saki brighten up. She smiles at him and wraps her arms around his neck.
"Yes! I would like that a lot!" She kisses his cheek and Shuichi laughs. Suguru looks down at his watch.
"Well guys, lunch was fun, but I have to go." He tells us. Shuichi drops his smile for a moment.
"Oh really Suguru?" I ask him. He nods his head.
"Yeah, I promised to meet Hiro at NG today. I'm sorry. I will call you tonight okay Tatsuha?" He asks me. I nod and give him a friendly goodbye hug. He smiles and waves as he leaves.
"Cute kid." Mika says. "To bad he isn't a little older."
"Mika!" I scold her. She always went for younger guys. "Remember you're married!" I tell her. She smiles evily at me.
"So is Tohma, but that doesn't stop him from ogling Erie does it?" She asks me. Shuichi looks at us.
"Hey!" He protests. "It should…" he pouts. Poor boy, Tohma shouldn't ogle Erie, but he does, always has always will.
I clear my throat.
"Well, ladies, let's get this over with." I say as I enter the tailor room. It takes them a minute but they catch up with me. Shuichi is still carrying Saki when they arrived.
"May I help you?" A kindly old woman asks us.
"Yes, we need to get these three women sized and get their dresses made. I believe we have an appointment under the name Kumagoro. (2)." I tell the woman. She looks at her list then looks back at me.
"Yes, go right ahead."
We enter into the main room in the back.
"Alright, all mighty Tatsuha, what kind would you like?" Mika jokes at me. I look at Shuichi and then back at Noriko.
"Actually, Shuichi and I were just going to sit down and watch, you know?! Not get into this feminine type thingy." I smile and go sit back down.
"That's fine, you bring the cash?" Noriko asks me. I nod. She smiles and then pats Mika on the shoulder. "Alright! Let's get this party started!"
~****~
I arrive back at Ryuichi's late that night. I never intended to be this late! It's past 9:00!
"Ryuichi?" I call out softly. No answer. "Ryuichi!?" I try a little louder.
"Ahh Tat-chan!" He appears out of the bedroom doorway and I almost faint. He's wearing a small towel around his waist. He's obviously just out of the shower because I can smell that awesome coconut shampoo he uses, not to mention his hair is stuck to his face, and his body is gleaming with water.
"U---Uh…" I can't get a word out.
"Was the day good?" He asks me. I nod slightly and lick my dry lips. He notices this I think and blushes deeply.
"Hang on…" he tells me and then disappears into the bedroom. "Come in here Tatsuha." He says. I obey and go into the bedroom. He's already under the covers waiting for me. I yawn and strip down to my boxers. I slide into the bed next to him and spoon him against me. He relaxes into my hold and I breathe in the awesome smell of coconuts.
"Well?" He asks me again. I smile and kiss him neck.
"Everything is good and already planned. We leave a week after Wednesday." I tell him.
"That's good, I am sorry I couldn't help." He apologizes and I kiss his neck again.
"It's okay. I know you were busy." I reassure him.
"What does the girls dresses look like?" He asks me. I smile.
"Noriko's is a short, silk, white, flowing dress that is tight at top and flows down. Simple but beautiful. Saki's is long, white as well, and fluffy around the edges, she looks so cute. Mika, well, let's just say we actually agreed on something for once. It isn't white, but close. It's an off-white short dress and an open back with criss-cross blue lace going up the back. It's trimmed with blue." Okay, so I do pay attention to detail.
"They sound beautiful." He says with a yawn. I wrap my arms tighter around him.
"Come on, let's go to sleep." I turn out the light next to be and settle back next to him.
"Goodnight, love you Tat-chan." He says as he drifts to sleep.
"I love you too, Ryu-chan."
~*End Chapter 3!*~
Yay! Not to sappy is it?!
That's my b-day! I thought maybe it would be awesome if they got married on my B-day!
As a discreet name, ya know? I thought maybe also, that Tatsuha didn't wanna draw a lot of attention to them. *shrugs*
Goodnight! I hope you like!
Chapter 4 soon!
I think I am gonna retch. I just read a Hiro x Ayaka lemon! AHH!! NASTY! My eyes! They BURN!
Oh, and I dunno when I am gonna start on the next Chapter of Faction Fire Riddles. Everyone has kinda dropped the story, so whatever I write next will be the conclusion.
I added Noriko in this chapter, I have actually grown to have a great respect for the woman. She's miraculous! Sorry to all you non-Noriko fans! ~_~
