Feeling Viktor shift, and without waking him up, I slipped silently from bed, grabbing my jacket off the back of the door and my notepad from my bag. Maccachin, who was curled up at the foot of the bed, sat up.

I put my finger to my lips, whispering, "shhh, Maccachin, I'll be back in a bit." Hearing my message, Maccachin laid back down and went back to sleep.

Silently, I slipped my sneakers on, pulled my jacket over my head and slipped out the door. I took the elevator down to the lounge and, after pulling out my notepad, started writing. I then pulled out my phone and started at the top of the list.

"Hi Mom!" I said, waving. "How are you?"

"Ah Yuri, my son! How are you? Where are you? That doesn't look like your house," Mom said, smiling.

"That's why I'm calling, Mom. Viktor, Maccahin and I decided to take a trip up to Hokkaido to take a much needed vacation," I started, as Mari-chan and Dad appeared next to mom in the camera view. "We have decided to get married while we are here. I am calling everyone to let them know while Viktor is asleep."

I could see Mom's eyes starting to water. "My little boy is getting married! Of course, we will be on the next train there! What can we bring to help decorate?" she asked, wiping her eyes on her sleeve and reaching out of view for a pen and paper.

"We can shop while we are here. I'm gonna call everyone else and let them know also. I'll see you in a few days!" I said, waving.

"We will see you then, son. Congratulations!" they waved as the video call was disconnected.

I grinned, putting three checks next to their names. I scrolled to the next name on the list: Yurio. I gulped as I clicked to start the video call, knowing I was about to wake the sleeping tiger.

"Oi, Katsudon! Do you realize what time it is?" Yurio growled when he answered the call, as he rubbed sleep from his eyes, glaring at the screen. "Who is it?" whispered a muffled voice.

"It's the idiot Katsudon! Go back to sleep, zvezda moya, I'm sorry I woke you up," he whispered tenderly, as I grinned out of his view. "What do you want?" he hissed, turning back to the video call.

"I'm sorry for calling so late, Yurio. But remember how you said you wanted an invitation to the wedding? Well, I'm calling to give it to you. We are getting married here in Hokkaido and would love to have you come," I said.

"We will be there," he growled before ending the video call. I grinned, knowing exactly who 'we' was, as I checked off Yurio and Otabek.

I scrolled to the next name on the list: Katya, Viktor's older sister. My heart beating like a drum, I clicked on her name and started the video call. "Well, Yuri-kun, this is a surprise! How are you?" she asked as soon as she answered.

"Hi Katya-san, I apologize for the late call. I have a question for you: how would you and your father feel about coming to Japan?" I asked, grinning.

Katya paused, her eyes wide. "Yuri-kun, are you telling me that the wedding is finally happening?" she asked, grinning as her eyes welled with tears.

I nodded, saying, "yes, we have decided to get married while we are here in Hokkaido."

"My father and I will be on the next plane to Hokkaido! Oh, Yuri-kun! We are so happy to have you as a new member of our family! It's about time Vitya found someone to make him happy!" she said, wiping her eyes. "We will see you in a few days!"

"See you soon!" I said, waving as I hung up the call.

I smiled as I stretched. I scrolled until I reached the next on the list. I closed my eyes, listening to the ring of the video call until it was answered. "Mambo, Yuri-kun! Habari gani?" Issa asked, flashing his bright smile.

"Poa! Nzuri sana! Listen Issa, how would you feel about coming to Japan to visit?" I asked, grinning and flashing my ring.

Issa bolted upright. "Yuri-kun, are you telling me this wedding that everyone is going on about is finally gonna happen?" he asked, his eyes wide.

"Yep. We decided to get married while we are here in Hokkaido, and we want our friends and family here to celebrate. So, what do you say?" I asked, grinning.

"You really have to ask? I'll be there in a few days! What can I bring?" he asked as he reached out of view, no doubt for a note pad.

"We can plan when you get here, but for sure you can bring your best suit or traditional clothes, your choice. Between you, Phichit, my mom, Viktor's sister and my sister, we should be set, decorum-wise!" I said, laughing. "I will see you in a few days! Kwaheri!"

"See you soon! Kwaheri!" he said, waving before hanging up the call.

After a few more phone calls and many checks, I got to the last name on the list: Phichit Chulanont. Grinning, I started the video call, listening to the ring. "Oh, hi Yuri-kun! How is it going?" Phichit asked, answering the call as he fluttered around his apartment, his phone in his hand.

"Hi Phichit-kun! It's going really well. So, listen…how do you feel about flying to Hokkaido?" I asked, casually.

"I would love to visit! Wh—oh my god! Tell me when I need to be there, and I'll be the first to arrive!" Phichit exclaimed as he dropped what he was holding which caused it to shatter, his face lighting up.

"Take your time getting here, Phichit-kun. We still have a few days of preparation," I said, laughing.

"I'll see you in a few days! Oh, Yuri-kun! I'm so happy for you! See you in a few days!" Phichit said, his voice cracking as he waved and hung up the call.

I smiled. "Come on, now! Save those tears for the wedding!" I chuckled, waving. "See you in a few days!" I pressed end and sat back. Contact loved ones: check.

With renewed energy, I jumped up and approached the front desk. "Ah, what can I do for you, Katsuki-san?" the front desk agent asked, smiling as she looked up from her work.

"I was wondering if we could book a few more rooms and request two of the banquet rooms be set up for an event," I said, smiling.

She nodded. "Certainly we can do that for you, Katsuki-san," she said. After a few minutes of fast typing, paperwork and silence, she looked up. "Just fill out the top form and bring it back to me, then you will be all set," she said.

I quickly filled in the required information and handed the form back to the agent. "Alright, Katsuki-san, you are all set!" she said, smiling. Book the reception rooms, guest rooms and ceremony location: check.

Feeling my eyes getting heavier, I decided to go back up to the room before Viktor noticed that I was gone. Silently, I slipped through the door, kicking my shoes off and pulling my jacket up over my head, putting it on the hook.

As quietly as I could, I slipped back into bed, facing the window. I felt Viktor's arms wrap around me, pulling me to him. In no time at all, I fell asleep, content in my fiancé's arms.
