#also you have my permission to knock some sense into daichi

[chunibyo-x-sorcerer]

« please don’t tell me you’re laughing because of me. i… didn’t see that pole. » momo @ daichi

@tsukiigami "I'm not...." Daichi said with a poker face but cracks are breaking through that expression as there is a constant twitch at the corner of his mouth. His eyes became crinkled at the corners. He covers his mouth with a hand, trying his best not to break with his eyes closed. "I mean....to be honest...nobody could have seen that coming..." Daichi said. Eito, his spirit companion chirps on the top of his head, confirming it. Well....Eito did. He saw that pole coming a mile away. Recalling that mishap from three different takes in three different angles. A chortle escapes him and then he can't stop himself. He laughs while holding his sides. God, he felt so bad but damn it, it was too hard not to laugh!

"I'm sorry!" Daichi wheezes a little, "S-s-sorry! I shouldn't laugh...it's just..." He shakes his head before looking at Momo. "Okay! Sorry! Are you...ha...okay?!Are.....you hurt anywhere?" He asked while snorts were coming through.

⋆﹥━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━﹤⋆

Waking up to an empty bed was not something new to you. The feeling of your queen sized bed, one side covered with pillows of all shapes and sizes to accommodate the lack of weight you once felt there.

You look over to the clock on your bed side table, reading the time: 08:37. Roughly three and a half hours until people start arriving for your son’s fifth birthday party.

Sitting up in your bed, you take a deep breathe to push yourself to make it through the day. You loved your son more than yourself but every now and then, you’ll wake up with a reminder of who his father is. Feeling a pain in your heart that only happens when you think of him.

Getting ready for the day in a nice sundress with your hair pulled back and away from your face, you woke up your son and continued to get him ready along with you. The volleyball themed things you bought sitting in the closet as your best friend since high school and roommate helps set up everything.

“Are you excited bud?” You ask your son with a smile.

“I am, Mommy! I can’t wait for my friends to get here!” He responded with a bigger smile than yours.

Your son, Kaori’s, friends came over one by one along with their parents. The sight of their happy marriages causing you to use your best masked smile.

Finally all of his friends were here as you began the party outside. The festivities you had spent hours planning and making were put to well use. Finally it was time for pizza.

As you went inside, you heard a hesitant knock on the door. Thinking that everyone had made their way here already, you hesitate as you walk towards the door and peek outside the window. Oh no.

Opening the door slowly you go wide eyed at the sight of white hair with black roots styled in a way that resembles a horned owl.

“(Y/N)! Looks like I found the right place!” His smile as wide as ever.

“B-Bokuto?” You felt your heart beat speed up at the sound of his voice, somewhat not believing it was him until he spoke.

“Yeah! It hasn’t been that long has it? You haven’t forgotten all about me have you?” His smile falls only slightly as he looks behind you and through the door.

“What are you doing here?” You close the door only slightly once you realise hes looking inside in hopes of coming in. “You shouldn’t be here.”

His smile fades all the way at your words. “(Y/N), can I come in? I’d really like to talk to you...”

You sighed and was about to speak before your son’s voice beat you to it. “Mommy! What’s taking so long? I’m hungry!” He walks up right behind you and tugs on the back of your dress as he looks outside with you and opens the door a bit wider.

“Mommy?” Bokuto’s eyes travel to the voice who spoke only moments ago and sees the small child standing behind you and looks back at you as an explanation.

“Bokuto I-“ you were cut off by Bokuto as he kneels down to your son’s height to let him know he’s not a threat and asks him a question that could determine how this all went down. “How old are you, little man?”

Kaori doesn’t miss a beat and holds up his hand promptly, his hand open to show the number five as he speaks. “I turned five today!” He smiles and looks to you for permission to step closer to the man.

You kneel and look to Kaori. “Why don’t you go get (aunt/uncle) (bf/n) to help with the pizza while I talk to this man. Can you do that for me?”

Kaori nods and runs off, grabbing your bestfriend since high school and getting their help to carry on the party.

You turn back to Bokuto and stands. He looks to you with concerned eyes. “He’s 5?”

You nod and hum. “Today’s his birthday. That’s why today isn’t a good day for you to come in.” You rest your hand on the door as a sign that you want to end this conversation quickly.

He pressed his hand softly on the door desperately. “Is he-“ he can’t even finish his question at the thought, but you know what he’s asking.

You look down at your feet and nod. “He’s yours...” guilt rushes over and as tears begin to well in your eyes.

You can hear his breath get caught in his throat, eyes beginning to tear up as well. He’s still looking to you with sad eyes for some kind of explanation. But you don’t give him what he wants.

“Look, you didn’t want me. That also meant you didn’t want him. I wasn’t going to tell you if you were going to pick volleyball over the both of us anyways.” You sigh shakily and keeps looking down, not trusting your tears if you looked at him.

“That’s not fair. I did want you. I wanted you so much. I just-“ you cut him off.

“No you didn’t. And you made that very clear when you left me to play Volleyball.”

“I didn’t leave you to play volleyball. I just couldn’t give you what you deserved! I wanted you to meet someone new. Someone who could take care of you!” He cries softly.

“That’s the problem! I didn’t want to find someone new! I didn’t want you to leave but you did! You left and I was all alone.” The crack in your voice mixed with the confession made Bokuto’s heart break more than what it already had. He walked closer and immediately pulled you into a hug, knowing all you needed was to be comforted. To know he was there.

You cry into his shoulder as you grip his shirt, half of you wanting to stay like this forever and the other wanting to push him away and slam the door in his face.

You chose to stay in his arms, missing the warmth and comfort he used to provide you. Head buried in his chest as your tears flowed softly, mumbling quietly.

“I missed you everyday. I missed feeling you, talking to you, connecting with you.”

He rubs your back and shushes you softly. “I know. I know and I’m sorry...”

At that, you pulled away and wiped your tears, sniffling softly before straightening out your dress.

“You should go.” You hug yourself, arms wrapped around your middle to comfort yourself.

“(Y/N)... please don’t do this. I would’ve stayed if you would’ve told me!”

“No. I didn’t tell you because I know you would’ve stayed. I know you would’ve given up everything you worked for. Given up the sole reason you left me. I wasn’t going to be the one to make you stay and give up what you’ve been working your whole life towards.” Another sniffle comes from you as you finally look at his face.

He spoke up again. “I’m sorry for leaving you all those years ago. I shouldn’t have. Especially because I never stopped loving you.”

“Why should I believe you? You left and I barely heard a word from you sense then. You moved on and left me in the past.” The bubble in your throat is an indicator that if you don’t stop talking, you’ll cry again. And that’s one thing you won’t allow. Not for him.

“Because every night I had trouble sleeping. Why? Because you weren’t there. Everyday I had to force myself out of bed. Why? Because you weren’t there to provide the smile that kept me going. (Y/N), you know I love you. You know I didn’t want to leave. No matter how much you hate me, you know that’s the truth.” He gives you a look as if to quietly ask if his suspicions were true. He really did love and miss you. His words were nothing but the truth.

“Bokuto...” you sniffle yet again. “I missed you everyday too. But you never called, you never texted. No matter how many times I called, it was always your voicemail. I wanted to tell you, trust me. But I knew the second I did, you’d be on the first plane back here.”

“And I would have happily stayed with you if I had known. Do you know how bad this hurts? To know that I’ve had a son for 5 years and haven’t met him? Didn’t even know he existed until today?” His lip quivers. “You know how much I wanted to build a family with you. But I knew I wouldn’t have been able to take care of you, him and volleyball. If I could go back in time and take it all back, never leave, I would. But I can’t and it’s the biggest mistake I’ve ever made.”

You now have tears falling down your face again. “I know you wanted a family but I assumed you didn’t want one with me. All of my plans that had you in them were thrown out the window when you left. Never expected you to come back. You have to understand that...”

“I do and I’m sorry that I left you like that. I just thought that you deserved better and to find someone who could give you their all. But I want you back. At least back in my life if not back in a relationship.” He looks to you hopefully.

“I don’t know, Bokuto. I’ve been without you for so long that I wouldn’t know where to start.” Wiping your eyes, you hum. “I can’t promise to let you back in my life, but I will let you meet him. Officially...”

He looks to you with wide eyes. “Really? You’d let me do that?”

“You can. But I can’t promise he’ll easily understand why you weren’t here.”

“We’ll figure it out. Please... I want to meet my son.” His voice finally went back to normal at the plea to get to know his own flesh and blood for the first time.

[kuroopaisen]

hi🥺, i would like a matchup pls. i’m she/her, 5’4, & my myers briggs type is estp. i’m double majoring in forensics and criminology. i play volleyball as a setter. i’m constantly listening to music and scribbling lyrics into my journal, along with messy poetry. i frequently write letters to people and give small gifts to my friends. my dream night, would be cozied up with a cup of tea and a good stack of films to go through. i’m rather sarcastic but i mean well. my friends say i’m too nice-🍯

when i was younger i used to watch shows like bones and i was convinced i was going to end up in the forensics field,,, then it turned out i was bad at science skdjlkj

but you sound so cool!! it was actually pretty difficult to pick someone for you because you worked well with a few different guys

but after some thought, i match you with…

sawamura daichi!!

✧ he surprised me, actually!! i didn’t quite expect to choose him for you, but i couldn’t get him out of my head. so here he is, karasuno’s captain himself!!  

✧ honestly, i think he’d find you really charming?? he loves the fact that you write letters for people, that you write poetry, etc. i think that sort of,,, ‘romantic’ vibe would really appeal to him (and by romantic i mean like,,, 19th century ‘i am a dashing young poet who’ll be struck down by tuberculosis′ romanticism. does that make sense?)

✧ he’d find your majors really interesting!! i can easily see them being areas of interest for himself (especially in regards to the career path he ends up choosing), and he likes discussing them with you. sure, the topics may be a bit grim, but it’s always interesting. 

✧ i’m pretty sure daichi is an estj, which makes for a pretty interesting contrast against an estp. you have a good balance between you, with his more responsible temperament and your more fun-loving one (i’m assuming this bc literally every estp i know is a bit of a wildcard gflkjdf). 

✧ that isn’t to say he’s no fun, though. i think daichi would enjoy your sarcastic side, and he’s perfectly capable of firing it back. being a dad to a bunch of high school students means that he can think a little quicker on his feet when it comes to this sort of thing, and he can be quite funny. 

✧ daichi’s a very thoughtful guy himself, so he makes sure to bring you little gifts of his own as a thanks. he’s attentive, so he’s noticed how much you do for other people; and he wants to give that same love and care back to you. he’s always very sincere, too, and the gifts he gets show just how well he knows you.

✧ he also likes to write you letters, especially when you’re busy or stressed. he’ll either slip them into your bag or your back pocket, and they’re always just so earnest and honest that you can’t help but tear up a bit when you read them. they’re most frequent around the times you have a big responsibility to face down, like an exam or an important day at work, and they’re usually accompanied by your favourite snack. 

✧ listen, i feel like his ideal night is probably quite similar to yours?? while i get the feeling daichi’s a bit of a traditional guy when it comes to matters of romance (you know,,, he’s going to bring you flowers on the first date, kiss your hand after he’s walked you home, probably asks your parents for permission to take you out,,, that sort of stuff), he’s still pretty lowkey. so the thought of coming back from a long day and spending time with his partner, wrapped up on the couch watching movies and drinking tea?? literally a dream come true  

✧ he loves practicing volleyball with you, mainly because he gets to see two of his great loves combined. and he always recgonises your own abilities, too. but, the captain can’t help but jump out, so i hope you’re okay with getting his thoughts, opinions, and a landslide of advice. he can’t help it, he’s just too excited. 

✧ overall, i think you two would just be really sweet and endearing?? you’d have a pretty mature relationship in the sense that,,, you’re just two equals, going through life hand-in-hand. you’d respect each other a lot, and that’d really shine through in how you treated each other aka you’re overwhelmingly precious leave some romance for the rest of us please 

other possible matches

✧ azumane asahi: like daichi, i think he’d find you charming!! he likes your vibe as well, and he’s quite,,, enamoured by you tbh. also, we all know he’s the biggest softie, right?? so if you ever gave him a letter, he’d cry. if you gave him a little gift, he’d cry. if he ever heard any of your poems -- you guessed it, he’d cry. you just make him really soft, okay?? and he can’t control how fond he gets. as a side note, i feel like asahi would have some passing interest in music, so you’d always be trading songs and bulking out each other’s musical libraries. he was so close to knocking daichi out of the top spot, so i think he’d definitely be a wonderful match for you!! 

✧ iwaizumi hajime: idk, i just feel like he’d be fond of you?? iwaizumi also looks after his loved ones pretty well, it’s just,,, hidden behind how stern he can be. but with you, i think his guard would come down a little, especially if you started giving him letters. he can’t help but soften up, and he’d definitely be protective of you. while he admires how nice you are, it does frighten him a little; what if someone tries to take advantage of that?? can you stand up for yourself?? will you be okay?? once he gets to know your sharp tongue, though, he’s pretty relieved. and hell, he likes being able to be sarcastic back -- it’s just one of the ways he’s able to relax around you.

wedding day

hey-- im back!! sorry i missed so many days so far. life just started getting in the way. however im back and i might try to still catch up on a few days since i have ideas for them still. 

for now though its july 28th: family day! this is a companion piece to my previous fanart because i really wants to do this day but i had a hard time thinking of something good to write

its also on ao3 if thats easier to read!

   Crow already couldn’t believe the day had rolled around already. It seemed so distant, even just yesterday. It did make sense, given a lot would be happened today but…

   It wasn’t like Crow didn’t want to go through with it. Nothing like that-- he wanted to get married. It just didn’t seem… Real was all.

   He washed his face in the sink, drying it off on a hand towel, and then got started brushing his teeth. The markers on his face were a daily reminder of all that he had done. They couldn’t ever really be removed, unlike normal tattoos, but that was the plan with security. He heard they were researching a way to remove them but that would be just as painful as getting them on, if not more so.

   Crow sighed. With a face like his, he didn’t think he’d really make it far outside of Satellite. Becoming a security officer? Becoming a pro duelist? Getting married? None of that was a life he could have predicted after he got the first marker on his forehead at the age of 14.

   As he started getting dressed in a t-shirt and jeans (he planned to change at Martha’s house) he set off. It felt nice to be in Neo Domino again-- even if he was a pro duelist now, he would always miss home. A lot had changed since the bridge was built, a lot of older buildings torn down because they were unsafe to live in, a lot of filling in huge gaps of the island, not to mention reworking security on the old momentum plant. Kids apparently kept trying to jump the fence and sneak in and the thought of a reckless kid getting hurt in there nearly made Crow’s heart stop.

   Martha opened the door for him, and all the kids rushed out. They decided to spend the nights with her leading up to the wedding, as she had a lot more room. Besides, they always missed Martha, and Crow wasn’t about to keep them from her.

   “Right on time Mr. Groom!” Martha teased, while the kids jumped around Crow.

   “You’re really still gonna marry Brave?” Ginga asked, tugging on his shirt.

“Why are you wearing a t-shirt!” Hikari laughed. “Do you really plan to get married in that while we have to be dressed up?” She teased.

“Calm down!” Crow laughed heartily. He was glad the kids were taking this well. “I’m going to get changed obviously! I’m just going to get ready here before we head to the bridge!”

“Can we climb up on the bridge?” Daichi asked, and Crow tugged on his cheek.

“Absolutely not! You know it’s dangerous up there and I’ve never let you play on it.” Daichi still grinned wide. Honestly, the older they got the more of a handful they were. But Crow wouldn’t have it any other way.

“Come on now kids, don’t get your clothes all dirty! And hurry up and start getting ready Crow!” Martha called from the doorway. The kids all ran inside.

   “Are you sure you don’t need help with things Martha?” Crow asked as he also walked in. The kitchen smelled like home cooked food and Crow’s stomach growled a bit. As much as he enjoyed Brave’s cooking, there was a special place in his heart for his foster mother’s meals.

“Help? Crow it’s your wedding!” Martha laughed happily. “I can expect the first son of mine to actually get married to help me cook for his own wedding!”

“Come on, I’d feel awful--”

   “Nonsense, now go get changed! Jack and Yusei can help when they come.

Crow did head upstairs and in the bathroom was his suit, hanging up behind the door. He ran his fingers down the fabric gently. It wasn’t an expensive suit by any means, he didn’t want anything too special. But now that he thought about it, it was going to be special, wasn’t it?

He put it on carefully, making sure nothing was wrong with it. If a button was missing he’d rather realize it now and have time to fix it rather than realize it in pictures days after the wedding. He also looked at his ring finger. His wedding ring would be on there soon wouldn’t it? He heard Brave and the kids picked out the wedding bands and left it as a ‘surprise’, but he had faith they would pick something decent. At least, the kids would.

After that, he worked on his hair. Martha told him to put it back, either tie it or wear it down. However, after working his messy hair down he didn’t feel quite like himself. He groaned looking in the mirror, brushing a few stray hairs out of his face. He would ask for Martha’s help, but she was still busy cooking.

“How are you holding up in there?” Yusei asked after a quick knock. “Not getting cold feet are you?” He teased affectionately. Crow sighed again and opened the door.

“No that’s not it, I just--” He pointed at his hair. “I don’t know what to do about this.”

“Wear it how you usually do. Why should you have to change it?”

“Martha said it’s best to have it down since it’s a formal event--”

“Yeah, and it's your wedding.” Yusei interrupted. Crow had to admit Yusei had a point. “Besides--” Yusei held up a headband in his hand. “I brought you a new one to wear for the wedding. This one should match your suit a lot better.”

“Wow, you sure thought ahead didn’t you.”

“I figured you would just try and walk out there in your usual one, so I wanted to make sure you matched at least.” Crow rolled his eyes.

“Do you seriously think I would go out there in a teal headband and a black suit?” Crow questioned, as he got to work brushing his hair back up. As it dried a bit, it started to fluff up on it’s own. Crow then slipped the headband on, and he already felt more like himself.

“Knowing your fiance’s taste in fashion?” Crow snorted at his comment. Honestly with how mismatched Brave’s outfits were… He might like that. Already Crow was dreading what kind of outfit Brave would show up to the ceremony in. He loved the guy, but he was worried about just how bad it could get. Oh well, it was his wedding too right? If Brave wanted to look like a hot mess in front of their family, he had every right to.

… ‘Their’ family huh? That had a nice ring to it.

“All better huh?”

“Yup. Glad you showed up or I’m not entirely sure what I would have done with it.”

“The best man has to keep everything in order, doesn’t he?” Crow smiled as they bounded down the stairs.

“Yeah, knew I could count on you Yusei.”

“Hmph. You’re finally done.” Jack was down at the bottom of the stairs. Apparently, he wanted to wear a white suit to the wedding, as he usually did. However, Martha scolded him over it and made him buy something else. ‘Only the bride can wear white’ she explained, but Jack rolled his eyes. Instead, he settled on a grey suit with violet and silver accents. It looked nice enough, if not extremely tacky. Brave was gonna love it.

“Yeah yeah, sorry I have to actually look nice for my own wedding.” he bumped into Jack playfully, and Jack shoved him lightly back.

“Don’t try too hard and get your hopes up, after all, you’ll never be more handsome than me.”

“Oh shut it Jack.” Yusei laughed, pulling the two away from their mock fight.

“Don’t ruin your suits before the wedding guys.” Jack huffed and walked away to check on Martha, but the two knew it was just an act. Jack was the one who teared up on the phone when Crow told him he was actually getting married, even if he’d never admit it.

“Alright boys, food’s done so let’s go see how the decorations are coming.” Martha finished fixing her hair in the mirror before heading out the door. The bus took them and all the kids across satellite to the Daedalus Bridge.

Crow was surprised they were actually able to get in. After the whole Bifrost thing and the Arc Cradle, security put fencing around the whole thing. The bridge was dangerous, kids could climb up there and fall off if people weren’t careful, and the waves weren’t very forgiving… But since Crow helped save the city and knew several people in security, he got permission to get married there.

It was weird to see how much the area changed. It was cleared out for the most part. Not many people lived in the B.A.D area to begin with, but with construction and traffic, they were all gone. All that was left were some new smaller shops and storage buildings. His old house the kids used to stay in was long gone, now torn down and covered over with a layer of concrete.

“Reminiscing?” Yusei questioned, seeing where Crow was looking. Crow nodded. “It’s hard to believe so many years ago you lived here, huh?” Yusei didn’t know the place as well as Crow, but it was still somewhere he stayed during the signer war. It was messy and crudely build together, as most places in Satellite were, but it was certainly a home. Probably the kids’ first home they ever knew.

“Yeah… It looks completely different now.” It was better though, safer. Before he was anxious to leave the kids alone, despite having to provide for them. Now there wasn’t violent crime running rampant and his kids were far away from that kind of danger.

“Crow!!” The kids called, and Crow turned to look at them. The kids were around the big container of flowers Aki had brought. Crow rushed over to look all the flowers over along with the kids.

“Woah-!!” When Aki said she would bring flowers, he didn’t think she meant this many.

“What are you so surprised about?” Aki crossed her arms, smiling. “It takes a lot of flowers for a wedding to look nice.” The flowers were in an array of warm colors, mostly red and orange, but there were some yellow, white, pink, and black flowers too.

“Where exactly are you going to put all these?” Crow dared to ask.

“Well, on the fencing, the wedding arch, the chairs, and the rest will be at Martha’s house for the reception.” Crow’s eyes widened.

“What about Brave’s bouquet?” Kokoro asked. Was Brave going to have a bouquet?

“I already made that. He has it right now in some water.” Aki reassured her, before unpacking the flower girl basket. “And here are your flowers.” Kokoro looked overjoyed. He underestimated how much she was looking forward to being the flower girl. “Please help us out with putting up the decorations first though, okay?” Kokoro nodded and put her basket on a table, before helping Aki with flowers and wire. It honestly would have been less of a hassle and a neater job if they hired someone to put the flowers up for them, but where was the personal touch in that? They could just hire someone to clean it up instead.

“So…” Crow started, while also helping Aki and the kids decorate. “...How did Brave’s outfit look?”

“I’m not telling~” Aki laughed, and Crow sighed.

“Can you just tell me if he looked presentable or not?”

“He looks fine Crow! Have a little more faith in him.” Crow was a bit relieved at that. “I know he’s a fashion train wreck most of the time but he knows how to pull things together when they count.”

“Yeah but it’s also his wedding too.” Crow tied an orange and red daisy to a large bow, before adding it to the fence. “If he wanted to wear a tie dye sundress he could.” Aki and the kids seemed to find that thought funny.

“I don’t think he would though.” Aki smiled gently now. “He seems pretty excited for the wedding actually.”

“I’m certainly excited since all of you are keeping so many secrets from me about it.” They all laughed again, and Crow noticed Brave’s kids coming in with Dragan to help set things up. The older kids helped set up chairs and the wedding arc with Dragan, Jack, and Yusei. The younger ones came running over to help tie up flowers and chat with his kids. He was glad they all seemed to get along for the most part.

“Well, we have to keep secrets. That way the day will be very special.” Crow rolled his eyes but smiled regardless. “Besides, it’s bad luck for the groom to see the bride before the wedding.”

“Oh, ‘bride’ now huh?” Hikari elbowed him in the stomach for his comment.

“He can be a bride if he wants!” She seemed pretty annoyed with his behavior.

“Easy now, I’m just joking! You know I don’t care so long as I’m marrying him.” Her cheeks puffed out and she fixed her ponytail before going back to decorating. Crow gave her a pat on the head and she didn’t seem to mind anymore.

Decorating ended up taking more time than he thought. Even with all the hands they had working, it took a while. Martha and Jack also took trips back at the house to put the delivered wedding cake in the freezer. Several people also dropped off gifts there to be unwrapped once the ceremony was over. Carly came as well with her camera in tow. He would make sure to pay her for the photos she took, even if she said she’d do it for free.

Finally, afternoon rolled around, and a car rolled up. Harald went to go pick Brave up in a car, as to not ruin his wedding outfit. However, they were just about to start the ceremony so he couldn’t leave the car yet. Kokoro and Ginga ran back to the car though to greet Brave, as well as get the rings for the ceremony from him.

Crow tapped his foot. He was ready to see Brave. While he did enjoy talking with everyone, catching up with Aki, and having some fun with his kids, he wanted to also start enjoying the day with Brave there too.

Finally, it was time for the ceremony to start. Kuzuyama had even made it in time, Zora and her son Leo followed behind, and an old coworker with a license was going to marry them. Crow stood under the arc and bit his lip a bit. Music started up and he heard the car door open and shut. He wasn’t really able to keep staring straight ahead the whole time, and he turned around to get a good look at his ‘bride’ to be.

Brave looked fine. More than fine actually--he looked great. He was in a white suit, tailored nicely with a black vest under it and an orange tie to compliment Crow’s red one. His now long hair was falling over his shoulders and back, and he was wearing one of his gaudy tiara’s complete with a veil.

His smile was gentle and happy the whole while and throughout the whole ceremony. Crow himself had a giant grin the whole ceremony himself, unable to pull his eyes off Brave. Honestly, the reveal was worth it, Brave looked stunning. He looked gorgeous but most importantly was able to do so while looking like himself. Crow was glad he decided to wear the headband, so he could do the same.

When the rings were brought up, Crow marveled at them a bit. They were gold in the shape of feathers, with various set stones. They matched fairly well and weren’t too big that they would get in the way of everyday life. Brave’s seem to be set with orange and red stones, while Crow’s only had one small black stone. It was still perfect, just what he would have wanted.

During the vows, Brave was tearing up a bit and laughing in joy. It almost moved Crow to tears himself but for the sake of the ceremony he held back. How was he going to say ‘I do’ fast enough if they had to take a break for both of them crying? In the seats, he already heard several people crying.

As it finally came time for the kiss, Crow couldn’t help but be a little be over the top. Besides, Brave kept a lot of surprises for him, why can’t he surprise Brave? He stepped forward, bracing his leg before he swiftly dipped Brave down. Brave gasped a bit in surprise and made sure the tiara wasn’t falling off, before throwing his arm over Crow’s shoulders and smiling fondly up at him. Crow’s characteristic grin was so wide it felt like his face might break. Finally, with an equally swift kiss, he sealed their vows.

As everyone cheered in joy, Crow was just happy Brave was officially a part of the family.
