Friends and distant relatives started to arrive as the day of the wedding drew closer. Kasamatsu had finished the fitting for his tux, surprised that the style Kise was to his liking. It was a deep navy blue complete with cravat. He hadn't seen what Kise was wearing yet.

"I guess that makes the bride." Yukio jeered.

"I asked you, so you're walking the aisle."

"I never said I wasn't." Kasamatsu rolled his eyes.

They were on their way back from tasting samples for the cake. In the end they couldn't decide on what flavor, so Murasakibara said that he would take care of it. Kise put his faith in his friend to literally make them best wedding cake ever.

The days were starting to go by quickly. The whole hotel was basically packed with friends and family. It was just a bit chaotic. It wasn't hard to bump into people.

"Ryota you got a sec." Kasamatsu's dad all but cornered him the moment he and Yukio separated.

"Uh sure?" Kise wasn't sure how he felt about this. After what Yukio said the other night about his dad not particularity caring for him. He could only imagine what the man had to say to his face.

"Let's walk."

And they did, aimlessly around the hallways of the building.

"I'm not going to lie, I've never really liked you."

"Oh."

"But I realize that I can't stop Yukio from doing this, and that you're not the worst he could have picked worse." He paused. "Yukio is the middle child of the family but he always acted like the mother, father, older sibling of the house when I had to work. I wanted to see him find someone that he really liked and settle down with them. I really only wanted to see him happy.

But you make him happy. I'm not sure why. I'm still convinced he could do so much better, but he picked you anyway."

"I'll do my best to keep him happy!" Ryota promised. "I also only want him to be happy as well!"

"You know why I really don't like you." The man mused. "I know I just said that I wanted him to settle down, but the truth is, I didn't want anyone to take him away. I know he was destine for great things, but...I guess they all have to leave the nest sometime."

"I..."

"It's funny girls used to leave love notes and cookies at the door step for him, and I know they probably still put things in his locker once he got into high school. He was never responsive to any of it, and then one day he came in ranting about this Kise kid with a inflated ego, and who does he think he is...

But it wasn't too hard to see what was going on especially once he brought you over the first time. Anyone looking at you guys could just kind of tell."

There's only one reason I'm willing to let this go on. Don't count it as my blessing, but I won't speak against you."

"Do you mind me asking what that thing is?"

"It sounds dumb but you can make him smile when no one else can."

It was after the Seirin vs Kaijo game of Kasamatsu's last year, after they lost. It wasn't even like they were in the final round, but he wished that he could of at least placed. And why was he so weak when it came down to the Generation of Miracle. It wasn't even like he would get a chance to redeem himself.

He slumped on the couch. He'd been there most of the weekend with the same gloomy look on his face. He didn't want to be talked, he didn't want to be bothered. He wanted to be left alone to sulk.

By the second day Kasamatsu's dad had declared that this was ridiculous and tried to get Yukio to do something else. The boy had just looked at him with what resembled dead fish eyes and went back to sulking.

The T.V was on though he wasn't really watching it. Some dumb movie was on. And his phone was off. Needless to say he had a certain boy friend of his who became worried when he did pick up, and came right over the moment he could.

Once Ryota got a good idea of what the situation was it didn't take long for him to get Yukio out of his slump.

"Pst, senpai? What are you doing?" He peeked from behind the couch so that only his eyes came above it.

"Watching a movie."

"Do you want chips to go with that movie?" Ryota slowly lifted a bow of snacks to be eye level next to his head.

"No."

"How about some...popcorn to go with that movie." This time he held the bowl over his own head."

Yukio snorted hiding his hands in his face before muffled laughter was heard.

"I can't even see what you're doing, but I know it's stupid!"

"But if he ever calls me upset about something you did, the whole family is coming after you."

Kise couldn't help but smile, remembering what came after and how Yukio even allowed him to hold him the rest of the evening. It was around when their relationship fist started so things were a little bumpy at that point, but he never doubted Yukio's affection towards him

"So you're okay with this."

"Not in the least, but I'm willing to trust his judgement. Don't screw this up." With that Kasamatsu's dad went in the other direction.
