The Best Man
Jyuushiro was not one to hold a grudge, but this was all Shunsui's fault. It really was. There were any number of small incidents in their long friendship that this was true of, but this was one of the few that had lodged itself into Jyuu's memory. It was easy to blame Shunsui, especially for this one. That was why Shunsui was going to be the best man.
After all, if it hadn't been for Shun, he might not have met Retsu. All right, to be completely honest, if it hadn't been for Shunsui dragging him out drinking, rigging his alarm clock not to go off, and ordering dodgy takeout, Jyuushiro would never have met a pretty hospital intern by the name of Retsu Unohana. Nor would he be marrying her today. So again, it really was Shunsui's fault.
"Are you two ready?" Nanao Ise dressed in a pale violet kimono stood in the doorway. "You have two minutes to get into place, unless you want the wedding to be delayed. However, I won't be held responsible for Retsu's reaction to that."
The younger woman's tone might be stern, but there was a smile on her face, and her eyes softened when she looked at Shunsui. His best friend grinned and leaned in to kiss her.
"We'll be there, Nanao-chan."
She smiles back and leaves the room. Jyuu traded a look with Shunsui.
"Ready?"
"Yes."
The two of them take up their places in front of the little shrine, and it seems like only moments later when Retsu appeared. Retsu is smiling as she walks towards him. Jyuushiro knows he's smiling back. It really was Shunsui's fault, but Jyuu wasn't going to complain.
