   The bachelor's parties, set up, and rehearsal for the wedding have all past, the only thing that hasn't passed, is my nerves. I woke up being incredibly nervous, with Chunta hugging me from behind.
   "Mhm, good morning Taka-Darling..." Still a little groggy he planted a kiss on my cheek and away from him.
   "Why so cold to me in the morning darling?" I threw a random lounge pillow at his face.
"Don't look at me right now! It's bad luck you know." I crossed my arms and mumbled the last bit. He just laughed and went close to me.
"Getting nervous?" He started to sway us and I covered my face to prevent him seeing me.
"This is different from acting, cause if this were a production, you're allowed to study and rehearse, mess up, but we're not on a stage, but on an alter broadcasting our love to everyone." He kissed me some more.
"You'll be fine my love. Now, get ready, Elio has finished the suits and he would like them to fit just the way he envisions." I did a nervous laugh.
"What do mean by that, remind you I never saw the suits." He just patted my head.
"You worry to much." I looked at him and pouted.
"And you don't worry enough... carefree angel." He moved me along.
"Now go! You're gonna be late for the fitting. I'll see you at the ceremony." I smiled back at him.
"Nos Vemos, (see you) you impatient angel." And like that, I was off to prepare for my big day.

I was with Berhayner-San and he was doing the final adjustments to my suit. I put on the suit and he started to walk around inspecting me, until he stopped in front of me and clapped his hands together.
"Mirar ¡eso es el trabajo de un genio!" (Look, that's the work of a genius) He just gleamed and I assume is happy for I have no clue what he is saying."¡Soy diseñador famoso! No ¡Soy el Abuelo de La Moda!" (I am a famed designer! No, I am the grandfather of fashion!) I just smiled and nodded cause I still understand what he was saying.
"¡Es simplemente perfecto!" (It's just perfect!) He then walked up to me and put a hand on my shoulder and smiled at me.
"Hacia un buen trabajo ¿no?" (I did a good job, right?) I just nodded and smiled and I remembered something. I pulled out a note that Chunta wrote down for me to say.
"Umm Señor Berhayner... Escuchen por favor." (Umm Mr. B... listen please) He looked back at me.
"¿Hmm?"I took a deep breath and read the letter that Chunta prepared.
"No-nos gustaría u-usted ven-ir nu-nuest-tra boda." (W-we would l-like you to co-me to
o-u-r wedding) I was getting really nervous and quickly handed him the invitation as well as the letter so he can see what I'm trying to say.
He took the papers from my hand and gave me a nod and smiled.
"Sí." I knew that meant yes and got very excited and hugged him.
"Gracias Señor." (Thanks sir) quickly got off of him and gave him an energetic handshake. I walk out the fitting room and was on my way to the venue. Man, Spaniards are very nice people.

I went down to the rendezvous for the wedding where I go through the details one last time.
"Okay, so someone tell me why I haven't got a call for the people providing hors d'oeuvres and that I still have no contact with the florist! I swear, he better be with the interior designer at the courtyard or else Imma lose it!" I was ranting about and someone touched my shoulder.
"What?" I turned around to see Sasaki-San.
"Woah, wouldn't the groom just love to get a beer and cake right now." He gave me a rum cake and his daughter came running at me.
"Takato Nii Chan! Do you like my dress?" She spun around and I picked her up.
"I picked it out myself you know," She started playing with my hair and I smiled at her.
"Are you ready to be my most amazing flower girl anyone's ever seen Nana?" She she smiled excitedly and I put her down cause she was jumping to much.
"I'm like super excited! I'm so excited that I could just, jump forever!" I just laughed at her being adorable. Well, kids are kids, speaking of which, Ryō came to me in a hurry.
"Nii Chan, Nii Chan, Nii Chan!" He came to me out of breath and I'm now concerned.
"What is it Ryō, What?"
"Ayagi...Danger... Trouble... need to go! I-I need a drink!" He was still wheezing when I grabbed him by his shoulder.
"What do you mean by that?" Catching his breath he said,
"Ayagi-San is being harassed!" That sounds terrible. I can't have my best man not be able to attended cause of some ruffians.
"Ryō, where is he right now?" I asked.
"He said he's still in his apartment." I grabbed Ryō's arm.
"Come on, let's save my best man." I looked over at Sasaki.
"Sasaki-San, hold down the fort while I'm gone." He nodded and we were off.
"Umm Ryō, I know this is a bad time to asks but do you know how to drive?" He just looks at me dumbfounded.
"I'm a minor, I can't drive." I just stood there tapping my foot in thought.
"Come to think about it, how come you don't drive Onii-Chan?" I blushed.
"I totally can, but I choose not to!" Ryō then frowned.
   "Now is not the time to lie Onii-Chan, especially when Ayagi's potentially in danger." I groaned.
   "D-don't tell anyone else but the real reason I don't drive is cause... I got my license suspended." I said the late part quietly too embarrassed to reveal the truth.
   "Excuse me?" He leaned in closer and had his hand conning his ear so he can hear me.
   "I got my license suspended okay!" He was shocked.
   "How, and for how long?" I let out a breath not wanting to admit it.
   "When I got my license for the first time I went on a little joy ride to celebrate and I totaled two cars trying to parallel park. My license got suspended for two years and I was too scared to be in the driver seat." Ryō was trying to hold in a laugh and I blushed some more.
   "Hey don't laugh!" He was holding his sides.
   "I'm sorry but, the perfect Saijou Takato got his license suspended for not knowing how to parallel park, hahaha!" I pouted and rolled my eyes.
   "Hardy har har, are you done yet?" He stifled his laugh with a few snickers coming it out here and there. Then, I had a crazy idea about Spain being a little too lenient with driving rules.
    "Ryō, I'm going to do something dangerous but trust me okay." He just looked at me.
   "What are you planning to do?" I just smiled and he seemed to get the drift.
"Wait, are you sure you can do this, I mean, you haven't drove in ten years!" I looked back at him.
"Do you know any other way then?" He pointed to a taxi that appeared out of nowhere. And I kind of felt a little demeaned because I wanted to be the cool guy who drives up and save the day. I was still in my thoughts when he flagged down a cab and was half way in.
"Come on Takato, or else we won't make it in time for your wedding." I got in and Ryō was telling him the directions in English.
"You should realky consider international films with that good of English." He did a shy laugh.
"Gee thanks,"

We ended up at the hotel I put him in and asked the lady for his room and quickly ran up to his room to see Stefan?
"Oh hey Stefan!" Ryō said excited while going over to the 19 year old.
"Oh hey Ryō; Are all Japanese people this shy becauseI asked him to take me out today but he weirdly told me to go away." Shy, that doesn't fit Ayagi at all. I look at the situation and a light bulb went off and I smirked. I know the reason he's so called 'nervous.' I knocked on the door.
"Hey, it's me, Takato. Let me in okay." He looked out the peep hole and unlocked the door. I got in and he quickly locked the door behind me.
"Are you really afraid of an American boy?" I laugh. He groaned.
"I'm not afraid of some kid- Takato, you look amazing..." I gave him a spin.
"You like the suit?" He cleared his throat and looked away.
"Yeah well, that designer guy really know what he was doing. White suits you." I smiled.
"Why thank you. Now that I see that you're fine let's get to my wedding!" I was about to unlock the door but Ayagi ran up and slammed it shut, barricading it with his body.
"I can't go out there!" I rolled my eyes.
"And why not?" I ask while giving him a stare.
"Because every time I go out there he's there and he says it's by 'accident' and he drags me along to stuff with him against my will." I just roll my eyes and smirked.
"But you go along anyway right?" I ask and he seems baffled.
"T-That's because he uses persuasion, very common in that capitalist country!" I just laughed.
"And how does he persuade you?" He just blushed more.
"With that gorgeous smile that makes you wanna punch him and his beautiful blue eyes and light brown hair that's just so stunning!" I laughed some more.
"Invite him to be your plus one and let's go." At first he protested.
"What no, I can't do that! He'll kill me!" I put a hand on his shoulder.
"Please, for me." He blushed then groaned.
"Okay fine, only cause it's your wedding and what's a best man for." He reluctantly opened the door and walked out.
"Yo big bird, you finally came out to see your favorite?" Ayagi blushed and looked the other way.
"I told ya to stop calling that will ya?" Stefan just climbed onto Ayagi's arm.
"Nah, you're tall and have fringe like him." He pushed Stefan off and blushed.
"It's not my idea but if you're not busy, I mean this sort of sudden but, I'd like you to be my plus one for the wedding reception." Stefan hugged Ayagi tightly and yelled.
"I'd love to!" This all looks so sweet, if I could understand what they're saying. Man, I should've continued my English lessons, but I can't be down on my wedding.
"Okay guys," I declare, "let's get to my wedding, there needs to be no talk about runaway groomsmen! So let's get our asses in gear!"
"YEAH!" We all cheer. And like that, we're back on schedule for my big day.
