Chapter Text
Takemichi woke up on July 3rd 2017 with a lump in his throat. He was supposed to get married today. He was supposed to marry the person he loved. It was going to be a good day right?
He was fixing his tie, looking in the mirror as Mikey spoke, “I guess you and I can’t do anything rash anymore, huh?" As they met eyes from across the room, Mikey continued, “I’m gonna be lonely, Takemitchy.”
Lonely? Why was Mikey going to feel lonely? Takemichi didn't understand it and before he could respond, someone was calling him out to get married. The silence felt deafening as he walked out.
They said some vows and everyone clapped. For some reason, Takemichi felt like this was more of an end than a beginning. Weren’t weddings supposed to be the beginning of forever? This felt like the end of everything. He would try and be happy though.. for everyone. He'd gotten the perfect ending, he was marrying the woman he loved. How could he be sad? It would be selfish.
He was supposed to marry Hina right? That’d always been the plan. He’d known that-
they’d
known that and for some reason… now that he was walking out of the chapel it felt completely wrong. It felt like he was losing something very important and he didn't understand why he felt that way.
