True Love's Wish Chapter 22

Yusei's POV Same Day Yusei's Apt

The Day of my bachelor party has finally arrived.

I was decked out in the outfit the guys had picked out for me and wearing the Groom sash.

"Alright, As the Best man for this wedding. I officially declare this Bachelor party on!" Kalin declared, proudly wearing his Best Man Button on top of his Best Man shirt.

Jack and Crow managed to crack a smile even though I know they're both still kinda mad at me for choosing Kalin as my best man. Then again, Kalin has been rubbing it in ever since.

We sat in the living room of our apartment with Trudge, Akiza's father, Breo, Andre, Jean, and a few of my co-workers.

"Congratulations Yusei!" everyone said.

We partied for about 2 hours before the guys decided it was time for gifts.

Akiza's father Hideo stood up. "As the father of the bride, I feel it is my duty to give my soon-to-be son-in-law some helpful advice to keep in mind for the future."

"Really?" I replied.

Hideo looked me dead in the eye and stated. "Son, Marriage is more than love, kisses and pleasure. It's about balance, companionship, togetherness. Working together as one unit."

All the fellas in the room looked intently waiting to hear what he would say next.

"You see, to maintain a happy and complete life, the husband must ensure that his wife is happy. For when conflict arises between the two, the husband will always be the cause of it."

"In other words: Happy wife, happy life." He reached behind the sofa and handed me a gift-wrapped box.

"From one married man to a new one, something that I'm sure you will need one day."

I opened the box to find a tan travel bag with The Husband's weekend bag engraved on it.

"It's already packed with everything you will need so when the time is right you will know what to do." H Hideo finished.

All the guys laughed when they realized what the bag was for.

Masashi, one of my co-workers chimed in. "He is 100% correct, Marriage changes a whole dynamic in your life and it takes time to get used to this change. No matter what happens, even if you are completely right in an argument, in the end SHE is right and you are wrong."

I haven't really had any serious arguments with Akiza mostly bc we've both been busy with work lately but I guess I can see where they're coming from.

The rest of the guys showed off they're gifts.

Breo, Jean, and Andre brought me 3 mini bars in a jar

"For when times get tough." Jean said.

Shiiid, this might be gone tonight.

My co-workers all brought me different gifts like a wallet, a bow tie, golf clubs, and a flask that reads Power to the MAN.

Crow went next.

"Yusei, we've been brothers since the beginning and there's no obstacle that we haven't faced together. So, my gift to you is something that I think will benefit both you and Akiza."

Then he ran to the back and wheeled out what looks to be a large white board covered by a white sheet.

"I really hope you two like it."

He pulled the sheet to reveal the new wall sized household family PDA Personalized with Akiza and I's name on it.

"You guys could put it up on the wall in the kitchen and use it to keep track of both of your busy schedules, it can even sync to both of your phones so that you both can remember what's going on."

I sat there frozen for what seemed like a full 10 mins.

What do I say for this? Crow must've been listening in last week when I told Akiza that we needed to find a way to make our schedules easier to manage.

"Uh, Hello? Earth to Yusei? You in there buddy?" Crow said.

I shook my head walked up to Crow and Hugged him.

"Thank You." I whispered.

"No, Problem Yusei. I love you man."

Jack went next.

"I won't be as emotional as Crow but Yusei's been my mate since we were little tikes. And this love I've seen you have with Akiza is some of the strongest shit I've ever seen in my life. Akiza is the perfect woman for you and I'm proud to call you my friend.

So much for Jack not being emotional.

Jack then proceeded to hand me a golden envelope with Mr. Fudo written on it.

I opened it to find two passes for a weekend retreat, redeemable whenever we choose.

"Thanks Jack."

Akiza's gonna love this.

Jack nodded.

Finally, Kalin stepped up.

"Alright, It's my turn."

"Yusei. You, Jack, Crow and I have been boys for a long time and every second with you fools have been the greatest moments of my life. My gift to you as your Best Man…."

I watched and smirked as Jack and Crow rolled their eyes.

Kalin handed me a heavy medium sized gift box.

"May your marriage be forever long and happy." Kalin said.

I opened the box to find 6 bottles of champagne, handcuffs, a blindfold, and an envelope. I opened the envelope to find a hotel reservation for Akiza and I set for a week before the wedding. Along with was a little card that said. Last fling before you give her the ring.

"Thank you Kalin." I hugged him then turned to everyone. Thanks you guys for all the gifts and advice.

As I sat back down the doorbell rang.

Who the hell could that be?"

I started to get up to answer the door when Kalin sat me back down.

"It's ain't a bachelor party without…"

He opened the door and two women stepped through the door.

"Strippers!"

The music cut on as they walked in.

I closed my eyes and shook my head.

It's gonna be a long night. Akiza will never believe me when I say I didn't ask for this.
