Hitoshi’s POV: 

    The news had shocked me because, for a while, I had actually started to feel better. The doctors put me on every kind of treatment possible to get rid of the disease making its way through my body. In early April I had a break from the treatments. Katsuki and I had talked about getting married and now seemed like the perfect time. All we wanted was to be happy together. Nothing big, only our parents and my sister. 

      The day had arrived for the wedding. We had planned the small event at the Japanese Cherry tree park Katsuki and I often spent time at. This meant that we were going to be getting ready at home. We both rented suits and seeing each other in them was like a dream come true. Well that's until Katsuki ran his fingers through my hair.

    "I'm sorry", he frowned, showing me the clump of hair from my head. The treatments had caused this and there wasn't anything to do about it. 

     "Shave it off," I said without hesitation. 

     "Are you sure?" He asked slightly confused. 

       Of course I was sure and I didn't care what I looked like without hair. Katsuki did as I asked. When it was over I ran my hands over my smooth hairless head. I didn't shed a tear because at least the treatments were working. 

     We went to our wedding and had an amazing time, although afterwards my body was exhausted. Katsuki  carved forever into the tree under our initials after the ceremony. It was beautiful with the cherry blossoms in full bloom. I finally was feeling better, more like myself. 

      Katsuki didn't view me as someone with cancer who he happened to be in love with. He viewed me as his husband and the person he was in love with who happened to have the disease that took effort to fight against daily. Maybe being forever wasn't a bad thing. Did it mean we'd be holding hands on our deathbeds, together, because if so that's what I wanted.
