SWEET N' SALTY | Tsukishima K. × Reader (COMPLETE)

TWENTY-TWO

"Oi, Tsukishima, we should really get going," Kageyama's voice interrupted the tender moment, as he entered the room with a serious expression. He glanced at Tsukishima, as if searching for something on his face.

"What?" Tsukishima asked, a hint of annoyance in his tone. Kageyama continued to stare at him for a moment longer before finally speaking.

"I can't believe she's marrying you, again," Kageyama remarked, a rare smile breaking across his usually stoic face. Tsukishima couldn't help but crack a smile in response, appreciating the rare camaraderie between them.

"Glad to know you've finally decided to invite us to this special occasion," Kageyama added, his smile widening as he shared in the moment.

"(F/N) wanted to share this day with everyone close to her," Tsukishima explained, walking past Kageyama. "Is it time already?" he asked, glancing back at Kageyama, who nodded in confirmation.

The groom heaved a heavy sigh, a mixture of nerves and excitement churning in his stomach. He hadn't expected to feel the same rush of emotions he had experienced when they were getting married for the first time. Kageyama noticed the tension in his friend's demeanor, realizing that despite their differences, he couldn't help but support them with all of his heart.

Reaching for Tsukishima's shoulder, Kageyama offered a reassuring squeeze. "Relax, she's not going to back out," he said, trying to ease his friend's nerves.

"I'm not thinking about that," Tsukishima defended, though the uncertainty still lingered in his expression.

"Right, and I'll be just outside," Kageyama replied, shaking his head lightly in amusement as he made his way out of the room, leaving Tsukishima to collect his thoughts.

As Kageyama exited, a freckled man entered the room, interrupting the moment. "Oops! This is where you've been, Kageyama. The others are already downstairs," he remarked, unaware of the tension that had just passed between the groom and his best man.

"Yeah," Kageyama decided not to say anything more, understanding the unspoken message between them. But before he closed the door behind him, he called out to Yamaguchi. "Hey, Yamaguchi, he needs you right now," he said, his voice carrying a sense of urgency.

Yamaguchi nodded in understanding. "I'm on it," he replied, stepping into the room with determination.

"Ah, Tadashi," Tsukishima greeted his best friend with a stoic expression as Yamaguchi entered.

"What's wrong?" Yamaguchi asked, noting the tension in Tsukishima's demeanor.

"I'm just... I want everything to be perfect," Tsukishima admitted, a hint of vulnerability seeping into his tone.

Yamaguchi chuckled softly, placing a reassuring hand on Tsukishima's shoulder. "You'll be fine. Everything is fine! We made sure of that, and your family was really into the preparation," he reassured him.

"Right," Tsukishima smiled, feeling a sense of calm wash over him. "Let's go?"

"Yeah," Yamaguchi agreed, his own smile mirroring Tsukishima's as they prepared to join the celebration downstairs.

As they headed towards the church, Tsukishima couldn't shake off his restlessness. He longed to see you, but he knew he had to wait patiently. He prayed silently for everything to go smoothly until the end of the reception. He wanted this day to be perfect for you, to bring you happiness not just today but every day of your lives together.

Yamaguchi noticed Tsukishima's tense demeanor and gave him a playful slap on the arm. "Tsuki, you have to calm down. You're being too tense. Trust that everything will be fine, alright?"
