[OPEN] 12/14 SOMETHING HAPPY BEFORE WE DESCEND BACK INTO DESPAIR

[flowerclips]

[ It was decided that the wedding would take place at the castle, somewhere that was quaint, small, and personal. Now that the bottom two floors have been restored, it looks nicer than its original run-down state. Added with all the decorations, all pink and yellow with plenty of cute things, it certainly has taken a completely new look, one that's appropriate for a celebration. ]

[ There'll be the actual wedding ceremony itself where everyone can sit in their seats with 52 cats that are wearing matching white knitted sweaters and then there'll be the party afterwards where everyone is allowed to eat and drink as much as they want. There is no particular dress requirement for the wedding except for one: everyone must wear a flower clown as soon as they enter the castle grounds. ]

[ Enjoy! ]

Congratulations.

[First things first. But then:]

...Do you need help?

[With the tie or the clips, just. In general.]

[yokeye]

Thank you, Sasuke~!

Toki's too excited, and probably does need general help. He's a bit of a mess. The hair clips have fallen out yet again, because he's run his hands through his hair so many times.]

A little help, maybe~!

[He holds out the clips to Sasuke. His palm is sweaty.]

[not_that_sasuke]

You need to keep your hands out of your hair.

[He takes the clips with one hand and lightly pushes Toki's hands down with the other. Keep them down.]

Do you want one on each side?

[yokeye]

[For the second time today, Toki shoves his hands in his pockets so he won't touch things.]

Yes, like how Rei wears them~!

[not_that_sasuke]

Okay.

[He'll go about getting them in place, then!]

...If you don't want to fidget, you can also clasp your hands together.

[yokeye]

[Toki assumes that because Sasuke mentioned it, that's what he should do instead of leaving his hands in his pockets. He doesn't think he's ever just held his hands together like this. He's distracted by trying to interlace his fingers comfortably, and then half a second later, he's running his hand through his hair again and undoing whatever Sasuke's managed to fix.]

[not_that_sasuke]

[.......Ah. Can he gently push his hands back towards his pockets again?]

Nevermind. If it doesn't work for you, that's okay too.

[yokeye]

[Pockets it is.]

Sorry! I'm still really nervous and there's so much going on and I can't believe she said yes and she loves me and we're going to be together and married and I want to make her so happy and give her everything she ever wanted and I don't know if I can and like what if I'm making false promises by marrying her because I'll just let her down because I'm not smart or strong or anything like the prince that she wants!?

[not_that_sasuke]

Slow down. Take a few deep breaths.

[yokeye]

Deep breaths... deep breaths...

[Toki breathes slowly through his nose, while biting his lip so he doesn't keep taking and spewing all of his thoughts at Sasuke.]

[not_that_sasuke]

That's right. Breathe in and out slowly.

[And... done with the clips. He'll begin work on the tie, although he only knows a simple knot.]

[yokeye]

[Toki just nods and continues to concentrate on breathing. Sasuke's simple knot will be better than anything Toki could have done. He forgot how to even tie his shoes months ago and never re-learned. Ties are beyond him.]

[not_that_sasuke]

[And...]

Done. But keep your hands away from it so it doesn't get messed up again.

[He does his best to make sure it's not crooked, but he's not exactly a master of tying ties.]

[yokeye]

I will! Thank you, Sasuke~!

[It will be hard, but he should make it through at least the ceremony without messing everything up again.]

Oh! Did Kurou get a sweater? We made them for the cats at our house, but maybe there's an extra one somewhere.

[All cats in attendance must have the white sweaters.]

[not_that_sasuke]

[He shakes his head.]

No. But he's not exactly attending.

[He's Around, but not in the thick of things unless Sasuke calls him.]

[yokeye]

I see~!

[The day after the wedding, there will be a package on the front steps of the second black cat house, addressed to Sasuke. Inside is a white sweater for Kurou, with his name on it, so it can't be given to a random cat. Toki will know.]

[not_that_sasuke]

[Toki, why.

It'll probably be found on a branch somewhere because Kurou used that to get it off.]
