Ah, finally we have the wedding! Thank you to everyone who read Kai's Day Off and asked for the story of the wedding, which I hadn't really intended to write. You all gave me something to do when I'm procrastinating from school work! (Less than 25 school days left! PARTY TIME!)

I don't know if this excites anyone (though I'd hope it would) but once school is over, I'll have a lot more time on my hands. This of course means... MORE STORIES! At least in theory, unless my dear muse decides to not give me any ideas, which I suppose is entirely possible...

Disclaimer: I. Own. Nothing. Short, sweet, and to the point.

"Miguel, will you please hold still for a minute? You're being difficult!" Claude scolded as he tried to tie Miguel's tie for him.

"I can't help it, Claude, I'm nervous. You know how I am when I get nervous," Miguel said, shifting his weight from one foot to the other. Claude stepped back and glared.

"Yes, I know exactly how you get when you're nervous. You get fidgety! Now stop moving for two seconds and I'll fix your tie. Otherwise, I'll leave and you can do this yourself," Claude replied, clearly frustrated.

"Claude, you can't leave me! You're my best man!"

"Then stop moving and let me fix your stupid tie!" Claude half yelled.

"How's everything going over here?" The two Spaniards turned to see Spencer entering the tent that had been set up for Miguel and his friends to get ready.

"Fine if Miguel would stop fidgeting," Claude scoffed, finally finishing Miguel's tie.

"How are you doing, Miguel?" Spencer asked, standing right in front of Miguel as Claude moved behind his friend to work on his hair.

"I'm nervous," Miguel laughed. "I'm so excited, though. I mean, I know nothing's going to really change. I knew from day one I was going to spend the rest of my life with Kai. It's just that now, after today, he won't be my boyfriend, but my husband."

"It changes nothing, but it changes everything at the same time," Spencer laughed. Miguel nodded in agreement.

"How's Kai?" Miguel asked, after a moment of silence. Spencer shook his head and chuckled.

"He's a nervous ball of energy," Spencer said. "He's about to drive Tala insane, and that's pretty difficult. It's like the Kai I knew when I was just six years old is back from the dead. He's so excited. I don't remember the last time I saw Kai this excited about anything."

Miguel smiled at that, his thoughts drifting to his beautiful fiancé. Miguel had proposed on Kai's last birthday, almost seven months ago. Now, they were getting married. Miguel was going to be Kai's husband soon. Kai had spent the past few months agonizing over every little detail that could possibly be agonized over, and a few that couldn't be, wanting the wedding to be perfect.

For the past month, the two had been staying with Robert in his mansion. Kai had been stressing about where to have the wedding, when Miguel suggested the beach where he proposed. Kai had instantly agreed, and Robert had insisted the two of them stay with him until the wedding.

Exactly one week ago however, Tala, Claude, and Bryan had burst into their room and dragged the two out and to opposite ends of the mansion. Tala had dragged Kai away, while Bryan had thrown Miguel over his shoulder and was followed closely by Claude. The three conspired to keep the happy couple apart for the entire week, much to the disgust of Kai and Miguel.

"Only one hour and you get to see him again," Claude said, as if reading his thoughts. Miguel glared at him.

"I could have spent the entire week with him if it weren't for you."

"What's one week apart when you have the rest of your lives together? Besides, if we hadn't then you two never would have gone shopping for your suits and everything else you block-heads left for the last minute."

"Hey!" Miguel yelled indignantly, rather resentful of the fact that he was just called a block-head.

"Claude, time to trade!" Claude and Miguel glanced up as Tala came into view. Miguel shot the two a confused glance, before Claude nodded in agreement towards Tala.

"Miguel, I'll be back when it's time. Until then, Tala's in charge. Don't have a panic attack while I'm gone!" Claude cheered good-naturedly as he ran off in the direction Tala had come from.

"How are you doing, Miguel?" Tala asked as he sat down next to the Spaniard. "Are you nervous?"

"Of course I'm nervous," Miguel laughed. "You would be too if it was you and Claude instead of me and Kai."

Tala blushed, but brushed off the comment. "Yeah, well, the fact is that it is you and Kai. And we need to talk."

"What do you mean we need to talk?" Suddenly Miguel smirked at the Russian. "Tala, people only say that when they're breaking up with someone. Are you breaking up with me?"

"You're an idiot," Tala laughed. "We need to talk about Kai."

"What about him?" Miguel asked, turning serious.

"If you hurt him, your ass is mine, Miguel."

"Tala, is this necessary? We've had this conversation before," Miguel said slowly.

"Before, I knew that if you started screwing up Kai would be able to leave you. Now, you two are actually getting married. It won't be as simple as walking out the door and not looking back if you guys have a fight. I stand by what I said before, Miguel. You break his heart, I'll break you."

"You Russians are awfully protective of each other, you know," Miguel said as he gave a small laugh, glancing nervously at Tala. He was startled when Tala actually smiled in return.

"It's part of growing up the way we did. We look out for each other more than most friends would, because we grew up having to watch each other's backs just to be able to survive and see the light of day again. Kai looked after us at the Abby. It's our turn to look after him, and you know we are," Tala said, giving Miguel a very serious look.

"I understand," Miguel agreed. "I would rather die than let any harm come to him, let alone hurt him myself. I know you will, but you don't have to worry about him anymore."

"In time I'll grow to trust you, but not just yet," Tala replied. "Talk to me in about ten years, and I'll loosen the leash a bit."

Both of them laughed. In a way, despite all the threats that Miguel tended to receive from all the Russians when it concerned Kai, he was glad that they cared so much. Kai didn't get along with G-Rev very well and sometimes he needed a day with friends, especially when Miguel had to do some work in his family's business.

"Thank you." Miguel turned, startled at what he'd just heard from the redhead.

"What are you thanking me for? If anything I should be thanking you for all the help you've been to both me and Kai this past month."

"Thank you for saving Kai," Tala whispered. Miguel again looked confused, and Tala gave him a small smile. "I know you're aware of the fact that Kai hasn't always acted the way he does now. There was a time when even I had trouble getting him to open up and even say hi to me. He became very introverted after the Abby. Now, the Kai that I thought I'd lost is back, and I know it's because of you. You showed him love and compassion even in darkness, and you brought him back into the light. On behalf of all the Blitzkrieg Boys, I can say that we owe you for that."

"It's been my pleasure," Miguel said, as the two shared a quick hug.

Suddenly Claude appeared again, breaking the serious atmosphere that had settled over the two. "It's time!" Claude yelled in a sing-song voice. Tala nodded and made his way back to Kai, as Claude took his place next to Miguel, leading him out of the tent.

Miguel and Kai reached the priest at the same time, Miguel coming from the right and Kai from the left. This had been Robert's idea, after Bryan had asked who was going to walk down the aisle to the wedding march while wearing a gown and both had looked thoroughly disgusted with the idea.

The next few minutes passed as a blur to Miguel, who suddenly became only aware of Kai standing in front of him. He fell into the trap that he usually did when he gazed into Kai's beautiful crimson eyes. Suddenly he saw amusement make its way into those eyes, and was startled to hear the priest saying his name.

"Sorry, what?" Miguel asked, looking from Kai to the priest, who had started laughing.

"Now that you're with us again Miguel, shall I continue the ceremony?"

Miguel blushed and gave Kai an apologetic look, but Kai gave Miguel one of his brilliant smiles and gave him a look that said it was okay. As more reassurance, Kai reached out and took Miguel's hands, holding them tightly. Kai looked completely calm, but when he took Miguel's hands Miguel could feel the slight shake in them. It was then that Miguel realized he wasn't the only one that was getting more and more anxious as time wore on. Miguel turned back to the priest, who nodded and continued.

"Miguel, do you take Kai Hiwatari to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, to love and to cherish, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, 'til death do you part?"

"I do," Miguel said, giving Kai's hands a tight squeeze, only mildly aware that he didn't remember their vows or getting the ring from Claude as he slipped it on Kai's finger.

"Kai, do you take Miguel (1) to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, to love and to cherish, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, 'til death do you part?"

"I do," Kai said as he too slipped the ring on Miguel's finger.

"Then I now pronounce you husband, and well, husband. Normally I'd say you may kiss the bride, but as there is none…" the priest trailed off, laughter in his voice. Miguel smiled and took Kai into his arms giving him a passionate kiss.

(1)... I apologize, but I have no idea what Miguel's last name is. If you know it, feel free to let me know. It would be much appreciated for future references. I looked, but I couldn't find it anywhere.

WOO! How cute, right? Next chapter: The reception. I wonder what Tala and Bryan will cook up. I already have plenty of ideas, but does anyone else want to throw out some suggestions? I'll take everything into consideration.

Please review!
