Kasamatsu collapsed on the bed next to Kise nuzzling his back with his head.

"Y-Yukio are you drunk?! Dad did you get him drunk?! I haven't even seen him tipsy yet! That's a sight that not even I have seen before."

"I'm not drunk." Kasamatsu sighed.

"But that's exactly what a drunk would say." Kise was leaning over him trying to get a wiff of his breath.

"Ryota." Kasamatsu looked up at him quietly before smiling a bit and kissing him. "Stop being dumb.

Kise let out a playful whine, but let Yukio be as he said good night to his family promising that they would all meet for breakfast in the morning before going site seeing.

"You'll come too right?" Kise asked. "I know you don't do well with my sister and my mom but..."

"It's fine." Kasamatsu rolled over to check his phone. He'd purposely kept it off most of the time but decided to check it just in case.

"Hey Ryota."

"Yeah."

"My dad came early."

"Oh is he on his way?"

"He's at the airport right now." Kasamatsu was up and getting his coat.

"His room was already set aside." Kise may or may not of book out the whole hotel in advance. "What's wrong?" He could see the tension in Kasamatsu's back.

"While I did send him the invite, he's been under the impression that I'm dating a girl, I never bothered to correct him because I thought he was joking around. Until I realized that he's been diluting himself to think that there is a Kise Ryota out there who is a girl."

"How?! How does that even remotely make since. You're a really bad lair."

"I never told him to begin with, and I sent the invite late, so he got it yesterday and came down here the moment it arrived."

"You never told him?"

Yukio shook his head.

"We can talk later. His flight just landed."

"It's okay. Go get him."

"Thanks." Kasamatsu all but darted out of the room like a scared rabbit.

Kise sighed. He wasn't sure why this was bothering him. I was normal to not want to tell your parent, right? Especially with them both being guys...but they've been together for so long you would think he would of said something by now. Then again Kasamatsu did seem to hold his fathers opinion of him the highest of all.

Maybe he wasn't ashamed as much as he was sure his father would disapprove. He just wondered if it was because of who he was or because...

He decided to let it go for the night. Kasamatsu was going to be in enough of a tail spin with his dad here and having to deal with Kise's family. As long as they talked in the next 48 hours, he was okay with it.

~.~.~.~.~
"This place is amazing ." Kise's oldest sister gushed as they finally sat down to lunch. The morning was spent with breakfast and cite seeing, and shopping. Kasamatsu's dad had tagged along and was introduced to the family
.

Kise wasn't sure of the conversation that took place between Yukio and his dad last night, but he didn't that that it went well.

Yukio is by no means a cuddler when it comes to sleeping. He likes his space. However, last night he actually sought Kise out. This normally doesn't happen unless he had a bad day or right after sex, he tended to want to snuggle.

So it was obvious which one it was.

And while Kasamatsu's dad was the father of his life partner, and up until this point they had gotten along relatively well, he couldn't help but hold resentment towards him. He wasn't sure what happened, but it upset Yukio and that...

"Why does the west have so many sandwiches?!" Kasamatsu mumbled as he looked through the menu.

"You going to keep pretending that you can read Italian?" Kise asked.

"It's French." Kasamatsu huffed.

"You can tell the difference?" Kise gushed. His hours of trying to help Kasamatsu learn the languages of the countries he visited has finally paid off.

"That's ham an cheese and that's grilled ham and cheese." Kasamatsu pointed the items he was talking about proudly.

"Yes! What else?!"

Kasamatsu sighed handing Kise the menu with a slight pout. Everyone else but he and Kise already ordered. Partly because Kise was trying to talk everyone into snails , and because Kasamatsu was having slight difficulty reading.

Kise started to read things off.

"It's just that the alphabet looks weird." Yukio said. "I learned Chinese just fine."

"That's because Japanese is derived from Chinese." Kise's second sister rolled her eyes.

"Whatever."

"Sooooooo. Rings?" The mother asked switching the subject. "Have you picked them out yet?"

"Done and done." Ryota boasted proudly. "We even got the engraving done."

"What do they say?"

"We haven't told each other yet." Yukio said.

"Really." The mom all but gushed. "You guys have the maturity of an old couple and the passion of a new couple."

"How long have you too been together?" Kasamatsu's dad, who had been relatively quiet during the whole trip finally spoke.

Kise wasn't really sure what to say. He could sense the danger in the question .

"Officially, almost ten years." Yukio said without skipping a beat. He probably didn't want to make a scene.

"I was trying to figure out why every one on Facebook was saying that "Yukio's finally tying the knot." It didn't seem as if it had been that long."

"You finally got a Facebook?"

And Kise was surprised at the light heartedness of the conversation. It was as if nothing happened between them.

"You're always traveling. It was the only way for me to keep in contact with you."

"I call!"

"Like once every blue moon. At first it was the NBA and you spent a lot of time training and when you weren't training you were resting. I just though that after the knee injury you would have more time to talk."

Kasamatsu had been drafted in the NBA during his second year of college. He played for two years before his left knee had given out. Which was ironic considering he had worked hard to avoid something like that. Between the leg sleeves and the proper supportive shoes, and making sure to stretch.

However, during one of the games he had fallen on his left knee. At first he seemed fine, but over time it began to be sore after practice, and during practice. Then during the last game of the championships it had finally given out

Thank God, it was after the winning shot went in, or Kasamatsu would never be able to let it go.

Kise had come home, cutting his photo shoot in France short, to play nurse maid.

"I got a new job and..."

"Excuses, excuses. You never told me what this new job was."

"I did. I'm into music now, I write music. The guitar CD I gave you, that was me."

"Really? I did like it. I play it whenever I have company..."

Kasamatsu understood the open ended explanation of, he would know that if he was around more. At the same time Kise was talking with his mom, but trying to keep and ear on the conversation.

"After the honey moon, I'll stop in. Neither or us go back to work until after the new years."

"I'll hold you too that."

~.~.~.~.~

"So, we're visiting your dad after all this?"

"Yeah."

"So...what happened?"

"We talked last night. Things are cool now." Yukio was hanging up the things that Ryota brought while they were out. "I guess he already had an idea of what was going on, he was just waiting for me to say something."

"And..." Kise could tell he was leaving something out.

"He doesn't really like you."

"What?!" Kise's voice pitched a little higher than he liked.

"I know." Kasamatsu sighed.

"Why?!"

"I'm trying to spare your feelings." Yukio sat down next to him.

"But I've never done anything!"

"I know." Kasamatsu kissed his cheek. "It doesn't really matter at this point. right?"

"Still." Kise pouted.

"Come on I thought you were excited about this? We're getting married."

Ryota smiled kissing Yukio fully on the mouth. "You're right. Sizing for the tux is in a few days."

"Oh thank God!" Yukio flopped back on the bed.

"What?"

"I swore you were going to try and put me in a dress."

"I thought about it. But then I thought about how good you would look in a European style tux!" He swooned laying next to Yukio. "I called up one of my designer friends. It's going to be amazing." Kise paused. "Unless you want the dress. There's nothing you wouldn't look good in, and it would make it a lot easier for me to get the garter that way."

Kasamatsu sat up with mischief look on his face. "I was thinking about that. And I have an idea." He leaned down whispering into Kise's ear despite the fact that no one else was around.

Kise grinned. "That's way better than what I thought of."

"Which was?"

"Break away pants."

Kasamatsu just laughed. "Also I finished up the last few details for the honeymoon." He smirked.

Kise grinned as well. This was going to be awesome.
