It was...the big day. Someone that had managed to get close to him that wasn't Souji-senpai was doing something he never thought he'd see them do--they were getting married. It bothered him when it was announced months ago, and not because he disliked marriage or thought his friend no good for it

Sakura stopped where she stood, bouquet in one hand, the other braced lightly on his shoulder as he worked.
"I can hardly believe how fast today came around, can you?" She asked, smiling a bit sheepishly, but happy. What she was so nervous for she had no idea. She wasn't even the one getting married, she was just one of the bridesmaids!

"Uh...yeah. Kinda fast, huh?" He was also a little warm feeling, well aware that Sakura's hand was on his shoulder. Still, though, they were plenty close by now, he could handle something as simple as contact. His heart was beating a little fast as he worked on the loose bit, wondering if now was even a good time to say anything to her.
He would definitely not tell her that he kept this little bit loose on purpose in order to give the two of them sort of lingering moment together...

She probably wasn't even aware of exactly how close they'd become over the years, though (She didn't even use an honorific for him anymore, up till sort of recently that had been reserved for a small handful of friends, like Ino and Naruto.), just... so used to him always being there ( ... )

So deep in his thoughts was he that he didn't quite notice Sakura even speaking to him until he saw her trying to look at him out of the corner of his eye. Startled, he loops the needle a little too sharply and jabs himself in the finger.
"Tch! Dammit..." He looks down and places his finger in his mouth, nursing the little jab with a frown on his face. If his face wasn't red enough before, after embarrassing himself in front of her?
It was a bit redder, to say the least.

The ceremony was supposed to proceed very shortly, but she kept her mouth shut, looking over at the door separating them from the other occupants in the cathedral. Ah... hopefully everything would go over smoothly.
"I wonder if we're causing any hold up..."

Now though, he had come pretty far, and even Naoto had in her own little way--if she really, truly didn't want to wear the dress (she looked so beautiful in!) she was currently wearing, Rise wouldn't have made her, right? Or was that just wishful thinking?
"Oh uh, guess not now." He replies, offering Naoto a bit of a reassuring smile. Dammit, he was running out of time to tell her!

"... W-We should probably go. There will be time to... talk after the ceremony."

"Yeah, they might start any second, huh?" Shaking his head, Kanji decides to save the conversation for after the ceremony, once everyone left the area too, probably. His cheeks a little red, Kanji adds, "Meet me back here after everyone's gone, alright?"

And here he was, putting one last finishing touch on her wedding dress. Even that had been a surprise, since Chie was pretty sure anything white and puffy and lacy and pretty would look terrible on a girl like her. He'd made it work beautifully, though, so much so that even Chie could smile at her reflection and feel proud of her looks ( ... )

She just...looked really amazing, and he wasn't thinking that just because she was wearing something he made. It was simple fact. "That's just some old bullshit adults tell other adults. Uh, I mean, better than letting the thread get worse. Heh, unless you wanna trip and fall on the way out."

Unable to help herself, she reached out with a gloved hand, brushing her thumb along his cheekbone. Tradition be damned, she was glad he'd come to see her before things started. It gave her courage.
"You know...I never thought you'd look so handsome in a tuxedo. It really looks great!"

"Tch, what're you talkin about?" Kanji murmurs, his cheeks turning a light shade of pink. She really did look very beautiful, though Kanji knew he'd look good in a suit. Hell, he could have worn her dress pretty damn well too.
I-If he wanted, that is! He so didn't. Not at all........
