Chapter 10

The hotel was bustling as Kisa burst in through the doors and demanded to know where the Yukina-Ichinose wedding was being held.

The secretary told the black haired man that she couldn't offer the information unless he had an invite. Kisa's hands dropped from her desk as he turned around, ignoring the fact that tears were forming in his eyes. Upon seeing this, the secretary told him it was in conference room B and then requested that he tell nobody that it was her who told him.

Kisa thanked the woman loudly as he made his way to the conference room.

"STOP THE WEDDING!" He yelled as he burst into the room. Gasps of shock echoed around the room as everyone's attention turned to the man at the doorway. Ichinose turned around from the desk and stared at Kisa.

"Kisa, what the hell are you doing?" She asked, clearly pissed off.

Kisa walked down the false aisle. "I need to speak with the groom," he said.

Murmurs rippled around the room as the guests wondered who this stranger was. The groom in question turned around and frowned.

"Who the hell are you?" The man demanded.

Kisa gulped, that wasn't Yukina, it was his father, Yukina Sr. His greying blonde hair was slicked back and he was wearing a black tux, his azure eyes were filled with fury and frustration.

"Do you know this man?" The minister asked Yukina Sr.

"No, I do not."

Kisa backed up down the aisle, his face was red with humiliation. Ichinose was getting married to a Yukina, just not Kisa's Yukina.

"Kisa-san?" Yukina asked, stepping forward from right of his father. Kisa's head whipped around to face the handsome blonde.

"Yukina…" He whispered before turning on his heel and racing out the door and into the lobby.

"KISA-SAN!" Yukina shouted as he chased after him through the lobby and into the street. Kisa looked left and right for a minute before choosing right, and sped down the street, bumping into random passers-by. "KISA-SAN! Wait!"

Kisa continued to run down the street, not evening bothering to apologise for knocking people out of the way.

Where was that fucking cab?

Yukina caught up to the shorter man and reached out to grab at his hand but Kisa was too quick for him as he ran out into the jammed road, looking for his taxi. Yukina followed suit, grabbing Kisa's arm when he got close enough.

Kisa resisted and pulled his arm from Yukina, but the grip tightened. "Kisa-san," Yukina breathed.

"Let me go, Yukina."

Yukina struggled as Kisa used as much strength as he could muster to pull himself away from the taller man. "No, Kisa-san, I won't." Kisa refused to look up at the blonde. "Why did you do that?"

"What? Interrupt your dad's wedding?" Kisa asked acidly. "Isn't it obvious, I like to ruin people's weddings, it's a hobby of mine," he continued, the sarcasm dripping from his tone.

Yukina frowned and pulled the man closer. "Kisa-san! Give me the real reason!"

"What real reason?" Kisa said, looking up at Yukina for the first time. "I told you, I like to ruin people's-"

"That's not true, Kisa-san! You're not like that, I know you're not."

"Oh, what the hell do you know about me, Yukina?" Kisa shot back, breaking the restraint on his wrist. "You know fuck all about me. You claim to be in love with me, but what do you really know about me?"

"I know you're a good person, Kisa-san. I know you're 35 and work at The Japan Times," Yukina told the shorter man. Kisa crossed his arms and rolled his eyes. "I know that your 'ex-boyfriend' broke your heart and left you broke-"

"How the fuck-"

"I know you claim to hate your job but in reality, you wouldn't want to do anything else. And I know that from what you just did to my dad's wedding… I know you love me."

Kisa blushed violently. That is sort of how it looked, isn't it?

"So now tell me, Kisa-san, why did you burst in like that?"

"Yukina, there's no rea-"

"Tell me!" Yukina's eyes were ablaze; he was serious and he wouldn't leave Kisa alone until he got the answer he deserved to hear.

"Alright!" Kisa yelled, letting his barriers come down. "You want to know? It's because I thought it was you marrying Ichinose, not your father!"

Yukina blinked. "Kisa-san…" he said gently.

"And I thought I was going to lose you forever… And that thought just drove me crazy."

"Say it was me marrying Ichinose, what would you have done?" Yukina challenged.

"Uh… The same thing, I guess," Kisa replied, shrugging his shoulders.

"Okay and what if I hadn't followed you out when you ran, then what?"

"I would… I… I don't know," Kisa said, admitting defeat.

"I think you do know. I know you wouldn't live with it, it would kill you, eat you alive. But that's the kind of person you are Kisa-san, you had me and then when you thought you were going to lose me, you came back."

Kisa ducked his head. "Look Yukina, I get it if you don't want to see me any more because of what I did-"

"Kisa-san, you went out of your way to win me back. If you claim to not love me, you wouldn't have done that."

"Would it have made you happy?" Kisa asked after a moment of silence. Yukina took a step back.

"Would what have made me happy?"

"Marrying someone else. Being able to have that life you dream of. I can't give you that life, and-"

"Kisa-san, you don't understand. The only life I want right now is the one I have with you."

"You're an idiot," Kisa scoffed, but the smile never left his face.

"That may be, but I don't care." Yukina looked into Kisa's eyes as the shorter man's blush grew darker and more intense. "Why have you been ignoring me the past week?"

"I got scared and ran. I always do that and, I'll be honest, I'm so tired of running away," Kisa breathed. Yukina's hand came up to caress at his cheek.

"Then stop running, Kisa-san," Yukina whispered as he brought his face closer to Kisa's, their lips almost touching. "I love you, Kisa-san."

Kisa looked into Yukina's eyes. "Me too," was what he said before Yukina pulled their lips together in a deep and romantic kiss. Their arms came to wrap around each other's shoulders as they ignored the honking from the passing cars as they stood in the middle of the road, locked in each other's presence.

"Are you sure that's the last of them?" A man wearing a blue uniform asked Kisa as he placed the final box at the foot of the door. The black haired man was wearing a striped button-down shirt with rolled up sleeves and jeans. He nodded at the man as he turned to pick the box up and bring it into his home.

"Yukina, where do you want me to put my books?" Kisa asked as he entered the vast mansion.

"The study if you want, Kisa-san. I suppose I should say your study though."

Kisa smirked as he carried the box to the small room at the end of the hall; he kicked the door open gently and stacked the box next to his new desk. He stood up and looked around the room; to think, it was 7 months since Kisa had stood in the exact position and gazed around his new apartment. Now he was staring at his new home; one that he would be sharing with his boyfriend. And for Kisa, it was all new and exciting. A pair of arms came up and around his waist to hold him in an embrace.

"I'm making dinner tonight; is there anything you want in particular?" Yukina offered.

Kisa raised an eyebrow. "You cook?"

"Not very well but, seeing as it was a special occasion…" Yukina replied, taking Kisa's hand and placing a delicate kiss on it.

"Curry sounds nice," Kisa murmured, willing the adamant blush to go away.

"Mmkay, curry it is! Anyway, Kisa-san, what did your landlady say about your moving out?" Yukina asked.

"She was upset, but she understood. I'm so glad to be away from that place, that clock and that damn mask were fucking ugly."

Yukina laughed softly in Kisa's hair. "I'm just glad to have you live with me."

Kisa leaned back into the hold. "You know, you didn't have to ask me to move in just because you felt sorry for me."

"Sorry for you? Kisa-san, I asked you to move in because I love you."

Kisa didn't say anything but spun around and captured Yukina's lips into a chaste kiss. "How about we go break in our new bed?" He whispered into Yukina's ear. Without another word, Yukina picked the shorter man up and raced down the hall to their bedroom. Yukina laid him down gently, their mouths preoccupied with each other as their tongues danced whilst hands and fingers roamed.

"I love you, Kisa-san," Yukina whispered into Kisa's ear.

Kisa sighed softly as he threaded his fingers through Yukina's soft blonde hair and brought him down into a long, sweet kiss. As Yukina peppered kisses along Kisa's cheek, jawline, and neck, Kisa allowed himself to be swept into the moment.

"Me too," he whispered gently.
