“Are you ready?”
Kuroo eyed Konoha, snorting. “Are you asking because you’re nervous?”
Konoha scowled, shoving Kuroo in the shoulder. “NO! I’m not the one getting married tomorrow.”
The retired captain chuckled, shaking his head. “Why wouldn’t I be ready? I’ve been waiting for this for a long time.” He narrowed his hazel eyes mischievously. “If anything, you have more reason to be nervous than I do.”
Konoha opened his mouth to retort only to sigh with a slight shake of his head. “You aren’t wrong there,” he grumbled. He fiddled with something in his pocket. “Do you think she’ll say yes?”
The two males were in the process of slipping gold ribbons over the white seat covers in preparation for the ceremony the next afternoon. Kuroo paused, his fingers twiddling with the ribbon.
“What is there to be nervous about?”
Konoha rolled his eyes, sitting back on his legs as he faced Kuroo fully. “Not all of us have the luxury of marrying our childhood sweetheart, Tetsurou.”
The corner of Kuroo’s lip twitched. “I didn’t think I’d have the privilege of doing so either.” He muttered.
Konoha paused, his thoughts abruptly muting as he examined the expression on Kuroo’s face. There was a deep-rooted sorrow in his eyes, a haze of ghosts in the shadows washed over his features.
Konoha opened his mouth to say something only for Kuroo to shake his head and clear his throat, turning slightly as he pretended to raise his hands over his head in a stretch. Konoha pretended not to see the silver drops that Kuroo had wiped away in that inconspicuous movement.
“C’mon, let’s finish setting up. We’re almost out of time,” Konoha said, clearing his throat and refocusing his attention to give Kuroo more privacy.
*****
(Name) and Aya giggled as the duo sat at the kitchen table, pouring over the itinerary for the next day. As (Name) and Kuroo were at the courthouse getting their paperwork sorted, Aya would be in charge of ensuring the rest of the house turned into an elegant venue. In the morning, the rest of the wedding party would be arriving to help with this endeavor.
Tonight, Aya and (Name) will be sleeping in the master bedroom and Kuroo and Konoha will sleep in his former bedroom.
Or so Aya thinks.
“Let’s go check on the boys,” (Name) suggested, glancing at the clock. “It’s getting late.”
Aya glanced up, nodding.
The happy couple had an early wake-up.
Aya pulled on a shawl, helping (Name) drape her own over her shoulders. The two headed out to the backyard, with the pregnant woman taking her time and carefully pulling out her cellphone to record.
As Aya stepped into the backyard, lanterns adorned the path down the aisle towards the floral arch. Golden fairy lights draped the lines that connected them, connecting directly to the dozens of golden fairy lights that were interwoven into the arch, twinkling and sparkling at Aya.
At the end of the aisle stood Konoha who was wearing a well-tailored black suit. His hands folded neatly in front of him as he grinned at her.
Konoha’s eyes widened at the sight of Aya, swallowing as she stared at him, dumbfounded.
“Aki? Why are you dressed up right now?”
Konoha raised an eyebrow at her, lowering his chin and staring right back at her. “Why do you think, love? C’mere.”
As Aya’s footsteps quickened, soft instrumental music swelled in the background, hundreds of bubbles shooting over their heads and drizzling down over the happy couple. A soft pink laser shone on the bubbles, giving them a baby pink glow that also sparkled from the golden fairy lights.
“Are you serious? Right now?” Aya asked, standing in front of Konoha and holding onto his arms.
“Do you think I would be here if I wasn’t?” Konoha asked, gently pulling a hand out of her grasp to cup her face. His eyes flit to the already engaged couple. “‘Sides, it was (Name)’s suggestion.”
Aya’s lip quivered as Konoha cleared his throat, kneeling down and holding Aya’s hands in his.
“Aya Nakamura, it was absolute luck that we happened to be at the same healthcare conference. Every day, I wake up and I can’t imagine a life without you. From the eternal traces of your hair in my laundry, to the endless snacks that you never finish, to all of the hair ties that I somehow find everywhere, I hope to spend each and every day with you for the rest of my days.”
He pulls a ring out of his pocket, opening it for her to see.
“I will always be there to catch you when you fall, to pick you up and support you whenever you need help whether you ask for it or not. I promise to spend each day of my life to build a better future for us both. Will you please be a part of my ‘always’ and marry me?”
“Aki,” Aya whimpered, tears streaming down. “Of course!”
The couple embrace, Konoha sliding the ring onto her finger and pulling her into a searing kiss.
(Name) and Kuroo cheered, coming closer. Kuroo had a picnic basket in hand and (Name) was holding a picnic blanket. The couple step apart, beaming and embracing their friends.
As Konoha and Kuroo pulled a table out, setting up the basket and decorating it as Aya pulled (Name) into a hug. “Thank you so much,” Aya whispered.
“Anything for you, hon.” (Name) rubbed her back affectionately, pulling away from the hug.
Aya looked at (Name), tears shining in her eyes as she sniffled. “Thank you so much for planning this for us. I know tomorrow is your big day, and it means the world to me that you and Kuroo helped Konoha plan this.”
(Name) cooed, throwing her arms around her best friend and nuzzling into her shoulder. “You’ve been there for me for so long, and you helped Kuroo plan his proposal. I think it was only right of us to help him with yours.” She nudged the girl, a cheeky grin on her face. “Besides, I can totally pretend like I didn’t know about it tomorrow if you’d like.”
Aya giggled, swiping the traitorous tear that escaped her. “I’d like that a lot.”
(Name) hugged her once more, before shooing her to rejoin Konoha. Konoha and Kuroo were loudly chatting about something as Konoha opened the bottle of sparkling apple cider.
As Aya rejoined her now-fiance, she couldn’t help but look back at (Name).
Kuroo was escorting her back into the house, winking at the couple as he turned off the kitchen lights to give the couple privacy.
When (Name) had joined the company, Aya never imagined that it would have gone as well as this. She didn’t think that (Name) would become her best friend nor that she would be the Maid of Honor for this beautiful ceremony. If anything, she was just hoping for a coworker to get drinks with after work or get the occasional brunch on the weekends.
And now, she was grateful to have (Name) be a part of such an important part of her life.
Aya beamed at her best friend, blowing her a kiss before snuggling into Konoha, taking the glass of sparkling cider. The couple enjoy the rest of the evening outside, enjoying the dessert that (Name) had made and the dinner that Konoha had made.
*****
The next morning, Aya was startled awake by a wave of nausea. As she ran down the hall at 6 in the morning, she threw the door open and violently upheaved into the toilet.
Footsteps echoed behind her as (Name)’s startled voice called out Aya’s name. “Are you alright?” (Name) asked, rushing in and pulling Aya’s hair out of her face.
Aya frowned, wiping her chin with toilet paper. She grimaced as another wave washed over her. “I think Aki didn’t cook the food very well.”
(Name) frowned slightly, looking her friend carefully up and down. She had watched and helped Konoha prepare the meal, she didn’t think it was that.
“When was your last period?”
“My period?” Aya laughed. “You don’t think I’m pregnant, do you?” Aya laughed louder, her mind racing.
It had been…a month already.
When was the last time they had sex….Aya’s eyes widened.
(Name) rubbed Aya on the back, standing slightly to open the medicine cabinet and pulling out a test. “Do you want to take a test?”
Aya swallowed, nodding.
“Do you want me in the room or do you want some privacy?”
“Stay, please.” Aya mumbled. “But, can you look away?”
“Sure thing.”
(Name) turned her back to Aya, standing in the furthest corner from her as Aya took the pregnancy test. After Aya gave her the all-clear, she turned around and sat on the edge of the bath-tub.
Aya had flushed the toilet, flipping down the toilet seat lid and sitting atop of it. Aya held the test in one hand, her legs crossed as she waited for the timer to tick down. Her eyes flicked from her phone screen to her pregnant friend.
“So…do you have any baby names in mind?”
(Name) smiled, nodding. “Well, if it was a girl, I’ve always liked the idea of Aiko as a name.”
“Aiko?”
“Mmhm. It means ‘little loved one’.”
Aya’s eyes widened. “That’s so beautiful.” Aya nursed her bottom lip. There was still too much time left on the clock. Her mind was racing with so many things.
“Y’know, I always wanted to be a mom.” Aya blurted out, mouth slamming shut immediately after.
(Name)’s eyes carefully watched Aya as she shook slightly. Aya took a reassuring breath.
“My family is pretty small,” Aya admitted. “My parents didn’t have many siblings and so it’s just kinda me. I’ve always envied people with large families and wanted to be a part of a family.” She smiled, a hand settling on her stomach slightly.
Her eyes raised to (Name). “(Name). You have already given me much more than I could ever ask you, but if you happen to have a boy, and I happen to have a girl, may I please use the name ‘Aiko’? You will most definitely be the godmother to my child regardless of gender and regardless of name and I hold absolutely no ill feelings towards you regardless of your decision.”
(Name)’s face softened. “Oh Aya, of course. If that’s how life plays out, you most certainly can.”
The timer chimed.
The two looked down at the test.
“Positive.” Aya whispered. “I’m really pregnant.”

“Hey! Thank you so much for being here,” Kuroo grinned, shaking hands with Masa, their photographer. “Listen, I have a favour to ask.”
“Hello, Kuroo-san.” Masa grinned. “Did you have a specific shot that you and the Mrs. wanted?”
“Erm, nothing like that.” Kuroo looks around before leaning in towards Masa, lowering his voice. “One of my groomsmen actually proposed to the maid of honour last night. I was wondering, would you be able to take some photos of them together?”
“Oh!”
“I’ll pay for the difference, but I know it’d mean the world to them as well as my wife if you could do this for us.”
Masa nodded his head slowly, waving his hand. “Don’t worry about it Kuroo-san. I can most definitely take care of that for you.”
He looked to (Name) who was holding Aya’s hands as they talked about something.
“Is that the Maid of Honour with your wife, Kuroo-san?”
“Yes, that’s her, Nakamura Aya. Her fiance is my groomsman, Konoha Akinori.”
Masa nods again, remembering the two from the photos he had taken of the bridal party.
He gave Kuroo a thumbs up before heading to (Name) and Aya. After a few words exchanged, Aya squealed, throwing her arms around (Name) as she fervently nodded to Masa. (Name)'s saccharine smile grew wider as Kuroo joined her, a hand slipping down to her waist as he pressed a kiss to her cheek.
“Oh Tetsu, she looks so happy,” (Name) whispered fondly as Aya dragged Masa by the elbow to Konoha.
After Aya explained what was going on, Konoha’s eyes met the couple, giving the duo an almost awestruck nod. It’s clear that he didn’t think he would be getting so much love and attention from the couple on their day.
Kuroo chuckled, bringing (Name) closer to him. “I can’t wait to see how the pictures turn out.”
As they turned to head back into the house to continue their rounds, Aya tore across the clearing and grabbed her arm. “Oh no you don’t, missy~!”
“Huh?” (Name) yelped, stumbling back slightly.
“You and Tetsurou have to take at least one picture with us! After all, you helped Aki propose!”
(Name) tried to wave her off, shaking her head only for Aya to tug insistently.
“Oi, don’t manhandle my wife!” Kuroo interjected, tightening his grip on (Name)’s waist. Sharp hazel eyes met striking blue as the two counterparts of (Name) stared one another down.
Konoha sighed, pinching his nose. “Aya, baby, I’m sure they’ll take photos with us. Just don’t be dragging the very pregnant bride around, okay?”
Aya huffed, giving Kuroo a sheepish smile. “Sorry Tetsurou. I’m just so excited to start this new chapter in my life, and to have my best friend in my life.”
Kuroo patted Aya’s head to her chagrin, offering her a cheeky grin. “No worries, jigglypuff. Now, let’s take the photos before we have an angry mob chasing after you for hogging us, shall we?”
The two couples headed to Maso, posing under his guidance for several group photos, silly photos of girls only or boys only, boys and girls doing separate poses.
The two women held out their hands to show off their rings.
“Y’know, now might be a good time to tell everyone,” (Name) suggested under the breath, glancing over at her. “Especially since your maternity leave will be so soon after mine.”
Aya glanced over to the house, spying Makoto and Kayda through the glass. They were taking candids of them talking. The boys were on their other side, also having a conversation that sounded to be about volleyball.
Aya chuckled, scratching the back of her neck. “You’re probably right. I know I was slacking a bit since I knew you’d be back to work soon,” Aya admitted awkwardly.
(Name) shook her head, sighing with a smile as she took Aya’s hands in hers. “You truly are my soul sister, miss,” she murmured fondly.
“My other half,” Aya whispered, pulling her into a hug.
