"Your mother would be so proud of you, Vitya. She would have loved to see that performance," Aleksei said, wiping the tears from his eyes. Viktor nodded, his eyes looking up for a second. "I can imagine she was looking down watching us, Father," he said softly, smiling.

We walked through the lobby, down the hall towards the reception room. Katya and Aleksei walked in first and shut the doors behind them. "Ready for this?" Viktor asked, turning and grinning. I nodded. "I suppose I will get used to this, being married to a world champion," I said, grinning, taking his hand.

Viktor's grip on my hand tightened as the doors swung open. As we walked in, we were met with thunderous applause, cheering and tears.

"Oi, Katsudon! Congratulations!" growled a voice from behind me. Gulping, I turned to see Yurio and Otabek standing right behind me. "T-thank you, Yurio!" I said, smiling. Roughly, he pulled me into a bone-breaking hug before pushing me away and roughly turning to wipe his eyes.

"Congratulations to you both," Otabek said softly, smiling as he shook my hand and Viktor's. They moved away, no doubt to join the growing crowd around the dance floor.

"Your attention please!" Phichit called, hushing the room. "If the newlywed couple could please come to the center of the dance floor! They have the first dance!" I gulped as my heart began to race. Sensing the apprehension in my eyes, Viktor took my hand in his and led the way.

We took our place in the center of the dance floor, my body shaking. "Aibou, focus on me. Only me," Viktor whispered in my ear as the music began to play.

Find me here, and speak to me
I want to feel you, I need to hear you
You are the light that's leading me to the place
Where I find peace again
You are the strength that keeps me walking
You are the hope that keeps me trusting
You are the life to my soul
You are my purpose
You're everything
And how can I stand here with you
And not be moved by you
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?

Tuning everyone out, I closed my eyes and listened intently to the music. It's weird, when I skate, it dosen't bother me to be in front of people. But I can't even dance at my own wedding. How pathetic is that, I thought.

You calm the storms and you give me rest
You hold me in your hands
You won't let me fall
You steal my heart and you take my breath away
Would you take me in, take me deeper now
And how can I stand here with you and not be moved by you
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this
And how can I stand here with you and not be moved by you
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this

Feeling a hand gently on my chin, I opened my eyes. Viktor had pulled me close, looking deep into my eyes, capturing my heart just as he did the first time I had come face to face with him.

Cause you're all I want, you're all I need
You're everything, everything
You're all I want
You're all I need
You're everything, everything
You're all I want
You're all I need
You're everything, everything
You're all I want
You're all I need
Everything, everything

Viktor is everything I could ever want, and all that I could ever need. He completes my life, I thought, grinning from ear to ear.

And how can I stand here with you and not be moved by you
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this
And how can I stand here with you and not be moved by you
Would you tell me how could it be any better-any better than this
And how can I stand here with you and not be moved by you
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this

How can life get any better than this? I have no idea, but I am ready to face whatever comes at me, I thought.

As the music faded away, Viktor leaned in to kiss me again. I wrapped my arms around him and leaned in to the kiss, completely forgetting everyone in the room. The room burst into applause, beinging us back to reality. We left the dace floor as the music changed and people flooded towards us.

"Viktor, welcome to our family!" Mom cried, wrapping Viktor in her arms and squeezing.

"Hiroko, don't crush him, now!" Dad chuckled, as Mom pulled me into her arms, squeezing me.

The party raged on into the wee hours of the morning, with people dancing and celebrating. We had taken to the dance floor again, this time, with no apprehension (on my end, anyway.)

Phichit announced the last dance, then took to the center of the dance floor. I sat and watched, grinning from ear to ear as Viktor danced with his sister.

Seeing that I was sitting down, Phichit and Issa came and pulled me to the dace floor. We danced until we dropped (literally.)

Viktor came and pulled me to my feet, then turned to help Phichit and Issa to their feet. Chris has staggered to his feet and flopped down in a chair next to Guang-Hong and Minami, who had collapsed in their chairs.

Lee Seung Gil had gotten to his feet and was slowly walking towards me. "Congratulations on your wedding. I look forward to seeing you again," he said softly, shaking my hand.

"I'm glad you were able to make it. Thank you so much," I said, shaking his hand. He nodded and walked towards the doors.

Those who had stayed until the last dance slowly got to their feet and staggered towards the doors, shaking our hands and hugging us before leaving.

"Vitya, just because you are a newly wed, dosent mean you can shirk your practise. I expect to see you in the rink first thing after you get back from your honeymoon," Yakov said, clasping Viktor on the shoulder.

"I'll be there," he replied, grinning.

"Congratulations, you two," Lilia said curtly, before she and Yakov left the room.

We were the last ones to leave the room. "What do you say, Aibou? Ready to call it a night?" Viktor said, grinning.

"I'm so ready to drop," I groaned, grinning.
