A Slice Of An (Almost) Married Life: Look Where You're Going And Guilt Stalking

This week was almost perfect. Their plans were set back a little because of something as simple as forgetfulness but it seemed that the majority of their friends and relatives are attending, the rest saying they had other plans in regretful tones.

Rantaro offered to pick up the suits from the laundromat they encountered when they were traveling to their new homes. The sidewalk was rocky and it was raining just a few minutes ago. Maybe Lady Luck can side with his today and he could make it home safely.

Rantaro thought as such as he stopped infront of the puddle infested road. He covered the suits with his arms as he briskly walked across, looking down to make sure not to trip on anything. Sadly, tripping wasn't the start of a new problem they have to face this week.

It was their own highschool friend, Shuichi Saihara.

The suits dropped in the middle of a puddle, having little to no time to be even savored to the point of drying it and sleeping afterward. Shuichi held out his hand as Rantaro accepted, brushing off his pants in the process.

"I-I am so sorry. I can pay for it if you insist." Shuichi scoured through his bag for his wallet as Rantaro giggled, picking up the dirty suits with a pointer and thumb.

"This wasn't how I think we meet but it's fine. I really need to get home now though, bye!"

Rantaro briskly walked away with the bundle of wet clothing between his fingers, leaving the very guilty detective behind. Shuichi wasn't going to just leave and forget about it, he almost ruined someone's wedding, his friend's wedding to make it even worse! Shuichi took out his phone and spoke into it.

"Siri, where the nearest clothing store?" Shuichi said as he marked the location. This might be a little forward but he must formally apologize or else he won't forget.

Rantaro placed the wet clothing on the couch as he told Korekiyo about the news. To his surprise, Shuichi out of everyone was mentioned. He knew he  wouldn't do anything like that on purpose so he shrugged it off.

"Let us buy a new pair then. A filthy suit isn't proper for our life changing in two days, let me get changed."

And so the search for a new suit begins as their cushions get damp with road water and dirt.

This series is close to it's end so Shuichi doesn't really have an important role in the story, no worries.
