“Do you think there are too many flowers?” Urie Kuki asks, squinting at the venue.
“What blasphemy did I just hear? There are never too many flowers!” Tsukiyama Shuu gasps from behind a pillar of roses.
“The cake is all set.” Yonebayashi Saiko skips in.
“Mutsuki’s gonna faint.” Nishiki Nishio laughs.
“Bets on who faints first.” Kirishima Ayato shouts. “I bet Kaneki!”
“Kaneki’s stronger than that now,” Touka informs her brother. She uses her ukaku to fly up to the top of the church to arrange a wreath of orchids.
“Put me down as Kaneki,” Aura Shinsanpei says sheepishly. Ayato nods with approval.
But as luck would have it, when Mutsuki appears down the aisle with Arima at his side, Kaneki’s knees do buckle. Ayato and Aura slap high-fives in the midst of the ceremony.
“This is so extravagant,” Mutsuki admits to Kaneki during their reception. “I had no idea you had such a lavish friend.”
“Neither did I for a while,” Kaneki admits. He reaches for Mutsuki’s hand. “Are you happy?”
“Very.” Mutsuki feels warm and secure and safe.
“Good.” Kaneki kisses him.
“Give back my glasses!”
Their attention immediately turns to the dance floor, where a very merry Yomo is prancing about with Nishiki’s spectacles.
Mutsuki laughs. He already loves all of his husband’s wild, crazy friends.
