Chapter 3
Honey- POV
I look in the mirror one last time before getting ready to leave my room.
"Maybe I should have went with the tie instead of the bowtie."
"You look great Mitsukuni. Stop panicking."
Sighing I run my hand through my hair, "You're right. Sorry Kyoya. I'm just nervous."
"I know, don't worry about it. You're about to marry the guy of your dreams, just relax."
Taking a deep breath I try to relax. "Okay. Where's Takashi?"
"He's talking to Ria, he'll be..."
Takashi walks into the room before Kyoya can finish answering my question.
"Mitsukuni, it's time." He holds out a blindfold.
"Why did I agree to this part again?"
"Because you're husband asked for a reveal, and this was the only way we could come up with one." Kyoya explains. He looks at his phone as it beeps. "We need to get moving. Haruhi says they are ready."
"Okay," I take a deep breath and put on the blindfold and stick out my arm for someone to grab. "Let's go."
**Meanwhile**
Haruhi's - POV
"Calm down dad, you look great." I smile and hug him. "Really, Honey is going to love it."
"You sure?" He runs his hands through his hair. "I haven't cut my hair since you were a kid Haruhi. I couldn't even remember what I looked like with short hair until we got it cut this morning. How can you be sure he'll like it?"
"Dad, Honey doesn't love you for your looks. He loves you for your personality. He's going to love you no matter what you look like." I look at the clock on the wall across from me. "It's time to put your blindfold on and make our way to the hall. Do you want me to put the blindfold on for you?"
He reaches over and hugs me. "Haruhi, you are the most perfect child anyone could ask for. Thank you, for being so supportive and amazing these last couple of weeks."
I smile and hug him back. "Dad, I love you. Now stop stalling, we need to get going."
He smiles. "Fine." He waves for me to put the blindfold on for him.
I take his arm and open the door, Ria is standing there with a smile on her face.
"Ready?"
"Yeah."
"I'll let Kyoya know we are on our way then." She takes out her phone to message my boyfriend.
"Thanks." We make our way down the hotels hallways towards the reception room where the wedding is going to be held.
"Mori said that the twins have gathered everyone in the room so that the hallway was clear for the reveal."
"Thanks kids. You have all done so much for us."
"Don't worry about it Ranka, we all love you both and just want you two to be happy." She smiles at him even if he can't see her.
We finally make it to the outside of the reception room, just as Kyoya, Takashi, and Mitsukuni get there.
"Here dad." I put his hands in Honeys.
Honey- POV
I felt hands in mine. "Ryoji?"
"Hey."
I smile. "You ready for this?"
"God, I hope so."
I laugh. "Well, it would suck if you backed out now."
"No, no! That's not what I mean!"
I laugh as I picture his flushed face. "I know."
"Okay you two, the photographer is ready. Are you?"
We both answer at the same time.
"Yes,"
"Definitely."
The blindfolds drop, and my hand is instantly goes to my mouth to cover a gasp. "Your hair."
Ryoji looks down and blushes. "Is it that bad?"
I instantly regret my decision. Shit. "No, god no." I move and pull him in for a hug. "You look gorgeous. It's just that you love your long hair. I never thought you would cut it."
He smiles at me, "Yeah, well. I did a lot of things people wouldn't expect." He backs out of the hug and waves to himself.
I finally notice that he's not wearing a dress and my insides curl. What did I do to deserve this amazing creature. "You are amazing." I reach out to touch him, because I couldn't hold back the urg anymore. "You are gorgeous."
He laughs nervously. "Says the one who looks like a model. I can't compare to you." He kisses the top of my hand.
Heat pooled in my lower stomach. I need to calm down. I open my mouth to say something when Haruhi interrupts.
"I'm sorry to cut this short, but we need to get going. The wedding is going to start soon."
"They can wait." Ryoji smiles at me, and moves forward with a mischievous glint in his eyes. "We are the guests of honor anyway." He pulls me towards him and grabs the back of my head and pulls me in for a deep kiss.
I whimper at the tenderness and love pouring from the kiss. He pulls away with a smile on his face. "I love you."
I smile and pull him in for a hug, "I love you too." I whisper in his ear. "Where did that come from?"
"I couldn't help it with the way you were looking at me." I fell him rub his nose on my shoulder.
"We probably should get going before Haruhi has a fit." I whisper.
"Just another minute."
Someone clears their throat behind us. "Mitsukuni, Ryoji. You can cuddle later. It's time for your wedding."
I let go of Ryoji and look over towards Takashi. "You're right." I grab Ryoji's hand and make my way to the door that would lead to our future together. "Let's go."
The doors open and the music begins to play. We slowly make our way down the isle smiling at the group of people who came to celebrate with us. We stop in front of Misuzu who is standing at the end of the isle, with a grin on his face.
"Hello everyone and welcome to the joining of these two wonderful souls. My name is Misuzu and I am a friend of both of these wonderful men who are about to embark on a wonderful journey together. I was asked to keep the ceremony short and sweet, so I will now ask the couple to share their vows. Mitsukuni?"
I take a deep breath. "Ryoji, when we met, I was just a kid who was trying to find his way in life. Soon after graduation I realized that I wasn't actually attracted to women, but to the father of one of my best friends. I still remember telling your daughter how I felt. I was terrified. She looked me in the eyes and gave me the best advice I could have ever asked for. She told me that age was just a number. That it did not matter to her if I was gay or straight or who I was in love with. She pushed me to finally confess to you. Even though it might have taken a year for you to finally give in, I am so grateful that you did." I love everything about you, the way you refuse to get up in the morning without cuddling for a minimum of 20 minutes. The way you smile. The way you surprise me everyday. Like with this spontaneous haircut." I run my hands through his hair and smile at him. "You are perfect for me. You are the one I want to spend forever with. We have been through so many hardships together, but I want to continue pushing through them with you. You are the light of my life, and I promise to spend the rest of mine making you the happiest person you can be. I love you." I smile and put the ring on his finger.
"Ryoji." Misuzu motions for him to begin.
"Mitsukuni. I remember the day that you confessed to me, I was shocked beyond belief. I mean, I was an old man just trying to get through life. I never thought I would ever find love after Kotoko, but I'm so glad that I did. You are the reason I get up in the morning, your smile is the light in my dark days, you make me feel like the only person in the entire world when we are together. I love you with my entire being. I know we will have some hardships in the future, but I know that together we can get through anything anyone can throw at us. We are a team and I cannot wait to start this new adventure and spend the rest of our lives together. I promise that I'll spend the rest of this life making you as happy as you've made me. I love you forever and always." He smiles while tears run down his face as he slides the ring onto my finger.
"It is with my greatest pleasure to pronounce you married. You may kiss your husband!"
I smile as the sounds of cheers from our friends and family congratulate us. I bend down to kiss him and the applause gets louder. We pull away from each other smiling.
"You ready husband?" I ask.
I watch as he blushes. "Yes."
We hold hands as we walk out of the church an onto our new adventure. Together.
Author's notes!
It took a long time for me to finish this. I had gotten some hate messages about the age gap. Being someone who themselves is in a relationship with a large age gap, I took them a little to heart. After some long night chats with friends and some supportive reviews and messages, I got back to writing. I'd like to thank everyone who took the time to read this fic and review.
See you in the next fic!
