"Someone who means a lot to me, someone who's been there for me when I needed it the most"

The excitement of wedding preparations had taken over Y/N's life. From choosing the perfect destination to selecting the cake, every detail was meticulously planned. The beach where Gojo had proposed had been decided as the venue, and Y/N's vision of a romantic, seaside wedding was taking shape. Decorations were carefully selected to complement the natural beauty of the location, and the taste of the cake was unanimously decided upon after a delightful tasting session.

Y/N had also asked Rei, Nobara, and Shoko to be her bridesmaids. Each had accepted with enthusiasm, their presence adding a personal touch to the special day. With the wedding plans falling into place, Y/N knew there was one crucial detail she had yet to address—how to ask Yaga, who had been like a father to her, to walk her down the aisle.

Despite her excitement, Y/N felt a wave of nerves as she contemplated the request. Yaga had played a significant role in her life, offering guidance, support, and care that she had never received from her biological father. Asking him to walk her down the aisle felt like the final piece of the puzzle in her journey from a troubled past to a hopeful future.

One sunny afternoon, Y/N gathered her courage and approached Yaga. The campus was serene, with the gentle rustling of leaves and the soft hum of birds in the background. She took a deep breath, feeling the weight of her decision settle on her shoulders. She had chosen this moment to ask him, hoping the tranquillity of the campus lake would offer a fitting backdrop for her request.

"Yaga-sensei," she began, her voice trembling slightly, "Can we talk? I'd like to ask you something important."

Yaga looked up from his paperwork, his usual calm demeanour giving no hint of the storm of emotions Y/N was feeling. He nodded, placing his pen down. "Of course, Y/N. What's on your mind?"

They walked together to the lake, the sun casting a golden glow over the water. The lake's surface shimmered with the reflections of the surrounding trees, creating a peaceful setting that contrasted with Y/N's anxious heart. They found a quiet spot by the water's edge, where Y/N took a seat on a nearby bench.

Y/N sat down, her heart pounding as she tried to find the right words. The lake's surface shimmered with the soft light of the setting sun, casting a gentle glow on the two of them. The beauty of the scene was almost overwhelming, and Y/N drew strength from it.

"Satoru proposed to me," Y/N started, her voice trembling slightly. "We're getting married in a few weeks. He and I have been planning everything, and it's all coming together beautifully. There's someone I'd really like to have by my side on that day. Someone who means a lot to me, someone who's been there for me when I needed it the most."

Yaga listened attentively, his gaze steady and reassuring. Y/N took a deep breath, trying to steady her nerves. She had rehearsed this moment in her mind countless times, but now that it was actually happening, the words felt both heavy and precious.

"I want you to know how much you mean to me," Y/N said softly. "You've been more of a father to me than my own ever was. You've given me support, guidance, and love when I needed it most. And I've been thinking about the wedding, and... well, I was hoping you would be the one to walk me down the aisle."

Yaga's eyes widened slightly, a flicker of emotion crossing his usually stoic face. He looked at Y/N, his expression a mixture of surprise and deep sentiment. The silence between them seemed to stretch, filled with the weight of unspoken feelings.

Y/N's heart raced as she watched Yaga's reaction. "I know it's a lot to ask," she continued, her voice trembling with vulnerability. "But it would mean the world to me if you could be there with me on that day, guiding me as I take this important step in my life."

Yaga's eyes glistened with unshed tears as he took in Y/N's words. For a moment, he was silent, his usual composed demeanour giving way to a rare display of raw emotion. The strength of his feelings was evident in the way his hands gripped the edge of the bench, his knuckles turning white.

"I never imagined..." Yaga began, his voice thick with emotion. "I never imagined that I would be given such an honour. To be a part of your life in this way... it's something I cherish deeply."

Y/N reached out and took his hand, her own shaking with emotion. "Thank you, Yaga-sensei. It means so much to me. I wouldn't want anyone else to be there with me on that day."

Yaga squeezed her hand gently, his voice filled with a rare tenderness. "I'll be honoured to walk you down the aisle, Y/N. You've come so far, and I'm proud of the person you've become."

They sat together in silence for a few moments, the calm of the lake providing a soothing backdrop to their heartfelt exchange. The sun continued to cast its warm light over them, as if blessing the moment. Y/N felt a deep sense of relief and happiness, knowing that Yaga would be a part of her wedding day in such a meaningful way.

As they stood up, Y/N looked at Yaga with a grateful smile. "Thank you, Yaga-sensei. For everything."

Yaga nodded, his eyes still shining with unshed tears. "I should be the one thanking you, Y/N. Thank you for letting me a part of your life."

With that, they walked back to the campus together, the weight of their conversation lightening Y/N's heart. She knew that this chapter of her life was closing with the promise of a beautiful future ahead, and Yaga's presence in her life would always be a cherished part of her story.

The sun began to set, casting a warm glow over the campus. Y/N felt a deep sense of peace, knowing that her wedding day would be a celebration not only of her love for Gojo, but also of the meaningful connections that had shaped her life.
