Holy shyzz guys, thank you all so much for the favorites/follows/reviews~ You have absolutely no idea how happy it makes me every time I see a new notification~~ You all are the best, and I love you all~
Akashi and Kuroko stared at their friends in utter silence before Kuroko smiled. "Congratulations~"
Kise squealed. "Thank you, I'm so excited~" he sang, planting a kiss on Aomine's cheek.
"When did this happen?" Akashi asked.
"About twenty minutes ago," Aomine answered, and Kise swooned, eyes sparkling.
"Oh it was lovley, Akashi-cchi~ We watched a movie, and he made me tea, and there were candles, and at the very end, when the man proposed to his lady love, Daiki-cchi pulled out the most gorgeous ring I'd ever seen~"
Aomine blushed. "Eh, it's not as extravagant as I wanted it to be..."
"Oh, but it's perfect, Daiki-cchi~"
Kuroko grinned, "Kise, can I see it?"
"Oh, yes~!" The blond danced over to him, holding his left hand out to model a beautifully simple seven karat, white gold diamond ring on his long, thin fingers.
"It's beautiful..."
Kise beamed excitedly. "I know, right?"
Akashi smiled slightly at his friend. "I'm happy for you, Ryouta."
The room was quiet as everyone stared at the redhead, Aomine the most surprised. The blond finally smiled softly, his eyes welling up with tears. "Thank you, Akashi-cchi."
Aomine clapped a hand on his now fiancé's back. "Alright, next topic."
"Oh right," Kise said, turning back to them. "Kuroko-cchi, Akashi-cchi, would you do the honors of being our best men?"
Kuroko grinned and nodded immediately. "Of course!
Akashi hesitated, but smiled again, nodding his agreement.
Kise squealed in delight once more, tackling his redheaded friend in an energetic glomp. "Eeee~ This is going to be awesome!"
"But," Aomine said, bringing everyone's attention to him, "if any of us get into any drama with one another, Kise might call the whole thing off. So for the sake of everyone's sanity, and my fucking wedding, let's get along, okay?"
Akashi and Kuroko shared a glance, but it wasn't the usual hostile look they'd recently become accustomed to. It was a silent agreement of sorts. They would endure one another for the sake of their friends' happiness. And who knows, maybe they might even get along, for real. They certainly had been earlier.
"Alright~" Kise sang, determination radiating from his entire self, "We only have three months before the biggest day of my life. Let's get to it~"
XXXXXXXXXX
MONTH 1.5
The next day, Kise asked both Akashi and Kuroko to come over again. The blond was bouncing around the room excitedly as the two other men sat at the bar, looking over a wedding timeline Kise had spent all night on.
"Okay~" he sang, "So as you can see, Daiki-cchi and I have already set the date~ So, Akashi-cchi, you'll come with me to look at the two venues we're considering~" The redhead nodded, never looking up from the paper before him. "Kuroko-cchi, will you call the caterer for me? I've made a list of guests as well as the types of food we want."
"Of course."
Kise beamed at the two of them. "Great. So all Daiki-cchi has to do today is mail the invitations."
Akashi blinked and looked up at the blonde curiously. "Ryouta, he proposed last night, correct?"
"Mhmm~"
"And you'd never really discussed marriage before then?"
"Hm, nope~"
"How long have you had the invitations written?"
The blond suddenly blushed, but his smile didn't waver. "Eh... two months?"
Kuroko laughed softly, making Akashi's heart jump in his throat, though he hid it well. Kise smiled and looked over the time line once more. "Yep," he said, "that'll do it for today. Let's get to work, shall we~?"
XXXXXXXXXX
Kise and Akashi arrived at their first possible venue, and the blonde was already gawking at the scene around him. The pristine walls around him were beautifully simplistic, yet highly elegant. The tall ceiling above them held a gorgeous crystal chandelier, shining brightly from the sunlight filtering through the large, decorative windows.
"It's beautiful," he breathed.
Akashi smiled at his friend. "Could you see yourself saying 'I do' here?"
Kise's smile grew, and the redhead could see the sheer joy in his eyes. "Oh yes."
Meanwhile, Kuroko had already finished his assigned duties, and Aomine had convinced him to tag along whilst he completed his. So Kuroko agreed to come with him, as long as Aomine bought him a milkshake afterward. The two walked along the street, invitations in the tan man's hands.
"So are you excited, Aomine?"
The larger man smiled fondly, a glint in his usually dark eyes. "Yes. I've been waiting for the right time to tell Ryouta I want to spend the rest of my life with him."
Kuroko smiled. "He was ready two months ago, you know."
Aomine looked at him, clearly confused. "What?"
"He told Akashi this morning that he's had the invitations ready for two months."
Aomine was silent for a long while until he stopped dead in his tracks. "Are you kidding me? Fucking hell, I've been worried he'd reject me all this time, and he's already been preparing?" Kuroko laughed softly as Aomine ran a hand over his face, a small smile on his tan face. "I love him so much."
Kuroko smiled. "I know."
XXXXXXXXXX
A couple of hours later, as Kuroko and Aomine lounged about in Kise's room, the other pair walked in. Or rather, Akashi walked in, as Kise sprinted through the door, an excited grin on his face.
"Daiki-cchi~" he yelled as he glomped his fiancé. "I found it~"
Aomine blinked as he pushed his blonde away slightly to look into his eyes. "The perfect venue?"
"The perfect venue."
Akashi sat on the edge of the bed, watching them with a small smile on his face. "I believe his exact words as we first entered the room were, 'yes.'"
Kise squealed. "Yes, yes, yes~ I knew as soon as I set eyes on it!"
Aomine smiled and kissed him softly. "Perfect. A perfect location, for the perfect wedding, between me and the most perfect man."
