(Complete) What Could Have Been (Saiouma/Oumasai)

A Very Gay (Happy) Wedding

Chapter 21:a very gay (happy) wedding

This picks up right when Shuichi's wedding fantasy stopped. Also I live in America so the only weddings I've ever been to were American style so that's how I'll be writing it. I also haven't been to a wedding in a while so bare with me 😂

Kokichi's POV

I leaned in for the kiss and kissed Shuichi better than I ever have before. The meaning behind it all made everything feel so different, in the best way possible. Words can't express how grateful I am to have met Shuichi. I can't imagine being with anyone else. Shuichi is my world, I love him more than anything else. All of the memories I've made with him I'll get to keep forever. No one is here to stop this now, no one can take this moment away from us, we get to keep it forever.

I stared up at his eyes, as well as I could with the tears that wouldn't stop flowing from my eyes. I could see he was crying as well. I knew this meant a lot to him as well, I'm not sure why he would ever believe I would say no to marrying him but I'm sure things like proposing can be terrifying. I took my eyes away from him and looked down to my hand. I love seeing the ring on my finger, being able to know that we're together forever now is an amazing feeling. Shuichi and I walked back down the isle together and as soon as we were far enough from everyone view I practically jumped into his arms. He held me up bridal style and pushed his forehead against mine.

"I love you Kokichi."
"I love you too Shuichi." I pushed my cheek onto his. I could feel his tears still soaking his face.
"You cry a lot." Shuichi laughed.
"Be quiet." I laughed along with him.

I never thought I'd be so happy on my wedding day. Part of me thought I'd never even end up getting married. Marriage is normalized to be between a man and a woman not a man and a man. I never thought I'd be brave enough to even try and marry a man. I probably never thought I'd ever meet someone like Shuichi. He's nice, funny, tall, really cute, and super loving. There's not a moment that goes by anymore when I question if he really does love me. The way I feel towards Shuichi and the way I can actually tell he feels the same way back is a feeling I never knew I'd get to have.

Later that day, at our reception, Kirumi got up in front of everyone and made her speech.
"Wow, I've dreamed of the day I could get up and speak at Kokichi's wedding. I've known him almost all of my life. I can say with confidence that I've never seen him this happy before." Kirumi paused, I looked up to Shuichi and smiled.

"I cannot necessarily say the same for Shuichi since I haven't known him as long but I can imagine the same is true. I can't believe we've made it to this moment, it still feels like a dream. From the moment I heard Shuichi and Kokichi were dating and saw the way they interacted with each other I could tell we'd get to make it to this point. Because of this I took the time to write down my favorite interactions I've seen from them over the past few years." Kirumi pulled out a piece of paper and looked at us laughing slightly.

(Get ready for some saiouma hc drops)

"You did not." I laughed.
"Oh I did." She smiled back at me, "first of all, there was one day I tried to get Kokichi to take some medicine because he was sick. He was not having it at all. I remember chasing him around the entire house trying to get him to take it. Shuichi noticed this and took the liberty to help me. Immediately Shuichi was able to catch Kokichi and make him take the medication. Seeing the way Kokichi listen to Shuichi right away made it obvious how much Kokichi actually trusts Shuichi. Oh and I can't even count the amount of times I've seen Shuichi have to carry Kokichi around like a little child. I cannot forget the times I've walked past their room and Kokichi is trying to help Shuichi feel less stressed by scratching his back. Oh and every time they're together and the other one starts to get mad or sad they hold hands to help calm down. Cutest part is, it always seems to work. Sometimes during the Halloween season too, the house likes to have scary movie nights and it's always funny to see Shuichi get absolutely terrified and see Kokichi end up sitting on Shuichi's lap, blocking his view of the movie so a Shuichi doesn't get so scared."
