Farewell, My Paradise

Chapter 4: The Big Day

A/N: this is like a year down the line after they get engaged- wasn't really sure how to go about doing their time engaged so this is just a time skip to the wedding :p--

The air in the room was tense but exited as Tendou stood in front of the mirror in his changing room in his stark white tux with his purple tie untied as he tried to figure out how to tie it. Semi and Shirabu were in the room with him trying to get everything ready for him to walk down the aisle. His red hair was slicked back nicely instead of spiked up like he always did. Semi sighed as he walked up to Tendou and tied his tie, neatly tucking it into Tendou's suit jacket. Semi walked over to where Tendou's veil had been placed and gently pulled it off of its stand before returning to stand behind the nervous redhead and carefully tuck the hair comb into Tendou's hair. The veil fell gracefully behind the second groom as he stood in front of the body length mirror. Tendou was nervous as ever and he couldn't help but sweat a little as he waited for his cue to enter.

Ushijima stood tall at the altar, Goshiki, Reon, and Yamagata posted behind him smiling widely as they stood. Ushijima stood stoically as ever but this time he had a smile plastered across his face as he waited for the love of his life to walk down the aisle to him. He couldn't help his smile widening as he heard the music start and watched the doors slowly open to reveal Tendou's little cousin walking down the aisle with a basket of flower petals, tossing them to each side of the aisle as she walked, Semi and Shirabu following behind the adorable flower girl. 

Tendou let out a shaky breath as Semi and Shirabu walked out the large doors leading to the altar. He was getting married. He couldn't believe that this was happening already. He hadn't expected that he would be marrying the love of his life so soon after finding out they were soulmates in the first place. He couldn't help but feel nervous and excited all at the same time. He was worried he would accidentally mess up but he also couldn't help the overwhelming feeling of happiness and pure joy wash over him. 

Tendou put on a smile as the doors were opened for him to walk through right as the classic song 'here comes the bride' echoed through the hall. He stepped through the mesh curtains that were just at the other side of the door as everyone stood and looked towards him with awestruck gazes cast on his approaching form. He was glowing as he walked swiftly down the aisle with a bright smile on his face. He couldn't help it as the feeling of nervousness washed away while he walked towards the handsome man at the altar. 

Ushijima watched as Tendou walked slowly down to aisle towards him and smiled widely at the beautiful man in front of him. He couldn't help but tear up as he watched the love of his life walk towards him. He was so undeniably happy and it shocked everyone in the room as a few small tears of sheer happiness trickled down his face slowly. He held out his hand as Tendou finally reached the altar where he stood and helped Tendou up the stairs carefully as to not trip on the long veil that trailed behind him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~Time Skip Brought To You By Me Never Having Been To A Wedding~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tendou looked at the minister as he looked at him "Now it is time for the vows. Tendou you may say your vows first" Tendou smiled as he pulled a folded up piece of paper out of his pocket and unfolded it. "Wakatoshi, I met you in my first year of high school at shiratorizawa academy. Playing volleyball with you every day was the best thing I could've asked for at the time and slowly during those three years in high school, I noticed myself start to fall in love with you. I never thought that one day I would be able to stand up here and say these words to you and so I didn't prepare much but I can say this with certainty. You are the love of my life, always have been since the day I realized I fell in love with you. You continuously bring happiness and warmth to a life that I thought would be meaningless and bland. You give me purpose and urge me to live on no matter how tough it seems. I guess I knew when I saw you and got to know you that it was you. It's always been you. And I wouldn't exchange this life for anything else. I love you so much." He said, tearing up at the end as he looked up from the piece of paper in his hands and back at his soon to be husband. The radiant smile that displayed itself on Ushijima's face was not something you see often from the ace, but nonetheless, it was beautiful.
