Chapter 14: Thank You

Author's Notes:

Hi guys! It's been a wild ride but I'd like to thank you guys for reading thus far. I'm sad/happy to say I will be ending the fanfic at this chapter! Wahhh! 😭, I'm in talks about writing a new fanfic based on Ureshi-san's artwork (check him out on Deviant art please!) but the stripper AU got some traction so maybe I'll start that first. Or even the Otayuri fic, who knows? But thank you for the support! I hope you enjoy this final chapter.

Three months later.

"Yuri may I see you?" Phichit asked. Yuri blushed.

"Not yet! It's bad luck!" Yuri yelled playfully. His best friend began to whine-cry.

"But Yuuuuriii~ I want to see how amazing you look before we're there! I have to be first you know!"

Yuri shook his head and chuckled. "Phi-chan, you're just going to post a bunch of pictures and cry. You can't do that today!"

Just then, Yuri's mother, Hiroko, and sister, Mari, walked in.

"It's time! Come on Phichit!" Mari dragged Phichit out of the dressing room. Hiroko attempted to walk towards the door of Yuri's dressing room but Yuri refused to let her, or anyone for that matter, in.

"Mom it's bad luck!" Yuri said strongly.

"No Yuri, it's only bad luck if your groom sees you dear, I'm alright," she walked in wearing her usual warm smile. "Are you ready,"

Yuri felt a inkling of cold feet. "Not completely mom."

Hiroko went over and gave her son a big hug. "Yu-chan, you'll be okay. He loves you, I love you, we all love you, there's no need to fear. The future ahead seems bright for the two of you. You've loved each other for a long while now, the only surprises at this point will be pleasant ones."

Yuri was happy and felt reassured. Why would his mother say a lie? She wouldn't and for the most part, knew what was best for Yuri. Hiroko looked at the clock, and then looked at Yuri.

"It's time."

Yuri nodded, and left the dressing room with his mother. The pair exited the hall, and went outside, inhaling in scents of sweet cherry blossoms, freshly cut grass, and nearby fire.

It was the signals of spring being slowly devoured by summer.

The two then walked up stone stairs to meet a wedding arch, stuffed with white carnations. There were also a few hints of green carnations, making the message clear, this afternoon was solely about love.

A white rug led to the final overhead pass, where Yuri was to meet his love. In chairs on his right were their family members, smiling proudly, on his left were his friends, with just the same expression. Some in tears, others helping those in tears, all happy and excited for the next part of the couple's lives.

Hiroko released Yuri to the top of the aisle, where all the groomsmen and bridesmaids stood.

Yuri did not realize how quickly they got to where they were supposed to be. She whispered in his ear before, "he is your destiny."
