Wedding Day

Onodera blinked away his tears. "We watched her grow up. Look at her, she's getting married now. The years passed too fast. We're old." Sniffling, he leaned against Takano's chest, bringing the man to lean forward and kiss his cheek.

In the background, Ryuusuke cried his sadness over his last child leaving the nest. Hanako patted his back with an understanding smile. Although, she kept dabbing her eyes so the tears didn't ruin her makeup.

Ryota, used his dad's dramatics, tried hard not to snicker through turning toward his attention to Mahiro. Mahiro's teary eyes at the ceremony proceedings brought a fondness to Ryota's expression. They interlaced their fingers and kept watch as Tamiko recited her vows.

Noticing their son, Takano held on tighter to Onodera. "Next, we'll have Ryota marrying that Takahashi boy."

Onodera smiled light. "I wouldn't be surprised. Takahashi-san has hinted at doing a ceremonial wedding sort of vows. A spiritual wedding. Ryota wants to go international in order to call Mahiro his husband."

Takano scoffed, not at all putting any meaning to his words. "And we have the time and money for a destination wedding how?"

Onodera playfully rolled his eyes. "Oh, we have time. We always make time for either one of them."

"True." Takano stated. "We're losing them, again."

Onodera turned around and peered up at Takano. "You said the same thing when they left for university. We're not losing them forever. We just don't see them as often anymore. Besides, they text both sets of parents all the time." He chuckled. "I thought I was going to be the sad one here."

Keeping his arms around Onodera, Takano sighed.

"We're hopeless."

Reaching up his hand, Onodera tussled Takano's short hair. Fringe almost gone, exposing silver hairs throughout the pitch black strands, he liked the look on his lover. "You know...I'm happy we became parental figures to them."

"How so?"

Onodera's face pinked when he admitted. "We ended up back together at a more gradual rate. I got to know you far deeper this time. You have to admit, they made interactions less...strained?"

Takano chuckled. "Adults can't get into spats around children. They are impressionable little people who copy everything." He pulled Onodera closer to his chest, their bodies molding just right. Leaning down, their lips almost touched for a kiss.

Cheers filled their group of people, breaking the couple from their moment. Sharing a good natured laugh, they turned and watched Tamiko and her husband wave at the crowd. Tamiko located them in the crowd, beaming in utter happiness, waving her bouquet. Her husband stared at her, love struck and devoted to his new wife.

Onodera and Takano received news of a grandchild the following year.
