[from here]

Heh. I can think of plenty of people who'd call me vain for drinking to that one. Lucky I'm drinking with you instead.

[Chuuya drinks, naturally.]

Well, never have I ever been a sexy redhead.

Spring's the best for a new life, right? If it's a small wedding it shouldn't take too long to get ready for.

[thetaintedsorrow]

Spring sounds great. Maybe we’ll get to see the trees bloom.

[Wouldn't that be romantic?]

You’d look gorgeous with flower petals in your hair.

[goatsongs]

Flower crown it is.

[He'll have to ask Niimi and Miyazawa how to make one properly.]

I can't wait to be your husband.

[He's still getting used to being Chuuya's fiance.]

[thetaintedsorrow]

Yeah. Me too.

[He huffs a laugh.]

Guess we don’t have to worry about changing our names.

[goatsongs]

In my heart I'm taking your name.

[It's just exactly the same, that's all.]

[thetaintedsorrow]

You’re cute.

[He means that in the best possible way.

They end up talking late into the night about their wedding plans, and Chuuya thinks he couldn’t be happier.]

[vegetariangreatfestival]

[The next morning, Chuuya tells the three individual people who he wants to come to his wedding. Niimi is delighted, even more so when Chuuya asks him for help with the flower crown. Mori sets a gentle hand on Chuuya's shoulder and tells him that he's glad that he's finally found someone to share happiness with.

Kenji is overjoyed, and immediately starts asking a bunch of questions about their relationship (some of which Chuuya answers and some of which Chuuya says is too personal to share even with Miyazawa-sensei) and the wedding. He grips Chuuya's hands and tells him how wonderful it is to marry the love of your life, and asks if he can meet his fiance before the wedding.

And so, the next time mafia-Chuuya returns to the library, a bright-eyed blond child waves at him.]

Nakahara-san, Nakahara-san!

[thetaintedsorrow]

[Chuuya has come to love these visits to the library, and he adores Niimi, the sweetest child on earth, for offering to make his boyfriend a flower crown. Looks like he’s going to have to adopt this kid.

But then there’s another kid eagerly greeting him in the library lobby, and Chuuya wonders just how many of the dead authors are this young...]

Hey. Don’t think we’ve met before. Who are you?

[vegetariangreatfestival]

[Just three, and poet-Chuuya's not as close with the third. You only have to adopt two kids, don't worry.]

Miyazawa Kenji. Chuuya-san talks a lot about you, and I wanted to meet you for myself.

[thetaintedsorrow]

Yeah?

[He still gets flustered whenever he hears that Chuuya has been talking about him.]

Nice to meet you.

[He gives a little bow.]

Guess you heard the news, huh?

[vegetariangreatfestival]

[Kenji bows back! Lower, because Chuuya is an adult and he technically sort of isn't anymore.]

He invited me to the wedding. Congratulations!

When he talks about you, I can tell how happy you make him, so - I wish you both a happy life together.

[thetaintedsorrow]

[Chuuya blushes a bit.]

Thanks. I’m glad he’s got someone else to look out for him.

[A soft smile.]

He speaks highly of you.

[vegetariangreatfestival]

I was a little surprised when he started calling me sensei...

[Since they hadn't really met before that.]

Have you read his poetry?

[thetaintedsorrow]

Yeah. It’s really beautiful.

[He’ll keep that poem poet-Chuuya wrote for him a secret...until he gets a tattoo of a verse from it.]

He’s a great writer.

[vegetariangreatfestival]

[Poet-Chuuya will die, but he'll die happy.]

He writes really sensitive poetry. I was surprised the first time he read me some.

[He doesn't look or act the type.]

You're really lucky.

[thetaintedsorrow]

Yeah. I am.

[He grins as he thinks of the man that’s going to become his husband.]

Are you his best man?

[vegetariangreatfestival]

That's me! It's an honor.

[He'll treasure the moment, though not as much as the Chuuyas surely will.]

Do you have a best man picked out?

[thetaintedsorrow]

I’m considering one.

[Would Akutagawa say yes? God only knows.]

I just wanna make him happy. I’ll do anything for that.

[vegetariangreatfestival]

He said the same thing about you.

[Not in the exact same phrasing, but close.]

[thetaintedsorrow]

He’s incredible.

[Look at him gush about his fiancé. What a nerd.]

Is Niimi-chan excited?

[vegetariangreatfestival]

He's really excited! He's already practicing his flower-crown-making so he can make Chuuya-san the very best crown ever.

[thetaintedsorrow]

Glad to hear it.

[But the question is...]

Where’s Chuuya?

[vegetariangreatfestival]

He said to stall you while he's trying on his kimono.

[Kenji's helping!]

[thetaintedsorrow]

Oh, did he now?

[Chuuya looks awfully mischievous right now.]

You think he needs help? Maybe I should go see.

[vegetariangreatfestival]

No!

[Kenji sticks his hands on his hips.]

Chuuya-san gave me a job and I'm taking it seriously. You don't get to see him until he says you can.
