Chapter Text
With a warm orange hue coating the Sakura trees, petals gently floated down onto the stone where Musashi and Viola stood, sealing their marriage with a kiss. One they have been waiting for all day in anticipation.
“Congratulations! ~”
“Yayyy!”
“We’re so happy for you!”
“We love yaoi!”
“Bob’s son is gay? And he’s ok with it!?”
Cheers, tears and praise erupted from the crowd, but all the couple heard was their thumping heartbeats. The newlyweds pulled away from each other’s lips, nestling their foreheads together. Staring into Viola’s watery eyes, Musashi only saw the love of his life in front of him.
“I love you.”
“I love you so much,” Viola said sniffling.
The couple smiled sweetly and turned to the crowd. Faces of friends and family had tears running down into their smiles. It wasn’t exactly the way they planned it, but everything worked out in the end as always. Everyone walked off to the reception in the theme of a Sakura festival with food, balloons, and photobooths. Meanwhile, the couple sneaked away to a quiet area of the mountain that has a perfect view of the twinkling city below.
“Let’s take a picture here.”
“Okay.”
“The view is so beautiful but not as beautiful as you.”
“You’re so cute.” Viola giggled.
After taking some photos, they walk back into the cacophony of sound filling their reception.
“AH THERE THEY ARE THOSE LOVEBIRDS. MUSASHI COME OVER HERE BOY AND BRING YOUR NEW HUSBAND WIFE AS WELL!”
“Ah, it seems we were dearly missed.”
“Yeah, we should head over to see what your dad wants.”
The two approach one of the simply decorated picnic tables where Bob, Tara, and Omi are sitting. Bob and Omi sip from a whiskey glass as Tara munches on some mochi.
“Ah Viola ~ You look so pretty! I love your vows.” Tara says in Japanese and waves them over cheerfully.
“Hontoni? Thank you.” Viola blushes slightly.
“Congrats, you two. I can tell you love each other a lot. Tara was telling me that you guys kiss so often you forgot how many times already.” Omi teases.
“Haha, yeah well after our first one it’s hard to stop,” Viola states bashfully.
“I’m barely holding myself back now out of respect,” Musashi gazes flirtatiously.
“Babe ~ We can later at the hotel…” Musashi sighs to Viola’s amusement.
“I DON’T KNOW WHAT THAT LAST PART WAS YOU SAID IN YOUR VOWS DOCTOR BUT I’M SURE IT WAS LOVELY. MUSASHI YOUR VOWS WERE… OKAY.”
“…thanks dad.”
“Thank you, Bob.”
“PLEASE, YOU’RE PART OF THE BURGERWEATHER FAMILY NOW, CALL ME FATHER.”
“Haha okay, thank you father.”
“NOW THAT’S MORE LIKE IT! AS PART OF TRADITION MUSASHI YOU MUST DRINK TEN BOTTLES OF WHISHKEY TO COMEMERATE YOUR MARRIAGE. I SUPPOSE VIOLA COULD JOIN IN SINCE YOU’RE BOTH MY BOYS BUT MUSASHI TOLD ME THAT HE’S THE HUSBAND IN THE RELATIONSHIP SO YOU-”
“I’m okay, I’ll just sip on something slow so I can help Musashi afterwards.”
“AH YES LIKE A TRUE WIFE HUSBAND.”
Musashi leans over, whispering in Viola’s ear, “I am so sorry.”
“It’s okay, I’m used to it by now. He means well.” The two of them chuckle.
Bob pours his son a whiskey and refills his glass as well as Omi’s. They drink and talk about marriage and the heir to the Burgerweather enterprise. Viola and Tara sit off to the side talking about their honeymoons and vows. The night winds on and Musashi becomes more relaxed and flushed. He even starts matching Bob’s volume at times, earning a glance from his husband. Viola gets up from the table to pay a visit to the EMS team who are having fun drinking and chatting. They greet the team and the doctors start teasing that they seem to be glowing.
“Viola, your vows were so beautiful I almost cried!” Dr. Finana hugs them.
“Yeah, that made me more emotional than my own wedding.” Dr. Gaf admits.
“I’m glad for you. You look sooo happy.” Joe smiles.
“Thank you everyone. I feel very lucky. I wasn’t expecting this at all, but it truly is a blessing.”
They all agree. They discussed how busy the hospital was today and how almost everyone in EMS found someone with Dr. Nahyou explaining that he’s happy with the EMS family. In the middle of conversation, Viola doesn’t notice Musashi sneak up from behind, wrapping his arms around his lover.
“Mm, are you having fun? ~” His melodic voice slurred a little as he leaned heavily.
“Yes, I am. You seem to be having fun too.”
“Hehe, yeah this is great. You are stunning.”
The EMS team reacts differently: some pretended to look away, others cheering them on, and a few just shaking their heads slightly in amusement. Musashi takes note of this, his smile beaming.
“Aren’t they beautiful? I can’t keep my eyes off ‘em. Beautiful, talented, saving people… God, I am the luckiest man on Earth.”
All of EMS agree, making Viola blush.
“Stop ~ I just, you know, do what I can. I feel lucky having met you. It’s like the stars have aligned.”
Musashi bashfully buries his face into their neck. Viola, feeling the weight of Musashi’s body, speaks to him softly, “Do you want to go back to the hotel?”
The tipsy man lifts his head with a mischievous grin and nods.
“I would love too. I’ve been holding back all night.”
“Oh really? Then let’s see how much stamina you have after all that drinking.”
The officer stands up straight, inhaling sharply. “It’s not really hitting me yet. See? I can stand up straight and everything.” He leans to the side while taking a step forward then looks down at the ground. “I might need some help walking back to the car.”
“Haha it’s okay, come on.”
The couple say goodbye to their guests, making everyone a bit disappointed, especially Bob since Musashi still had eight more bottles to go. Viola gives support as they walk back to the parking lot with the tipsy man commenting on their strength. When the two of them get there, Musashi fumbles with his phone a bit to call his dad’s chauffeur who will drive them back to the hotel. In the car, Musashi lies on Viola’s shoulder and rubs their hand lovingly.
“I meant to ask is that my perfume you’re wearing?” He leans in closer.
“Yeah, after our engagement photos I couldn’t get it out of my head, and I thought it would be perfect for our wedding at the Sakura Village. Do you… like it on me?”
“I can’t get enough of it. It makes me anxious to get back to the room.”
“Really, well we’re almost there.”
“Hey Duncan, do you mind driving a bit faster?"
“Don’t have to tell me twice, bud.”
“Thanks.” The couple giggled in the back seat.
Arriving at the grand hotel, they check in and make their way up to the room. The room is a sizable but modest romantic suite as it’s just for one night before their flight to Cancun. All their luggage is neatly tucked in a corner. The bed is covered in roses with some sweets, champagne and snacks on the table. Viola gasps.
“This is so nice ~”
“I had it prepped special just for us.”
“Thank you ~”
“Anything for my sun.”
“And you’re my moon.”
“Ooo, you know what I think my heartrate is getting a bit high doctor. I might need a checkup soon.”
“Oh, then I should do an extensive one just to make sure everything’s okay.”
“I would love that.”
“First let me look around the room a bit more.”
“Of course.”
They set down their things and get settled in after inspecting the bed and bathroom. Musashi offers to sit at the decorated table and pour some champagne. Viola was hesitant about drinking more but thought a little bit of champagne wouldn’t do Musashi too much damage. He seemed to have sobered up a little, but his face was still a bit red with his movements feeling slow. Viola takes a bite of a chocolate-covered strawberry with Musashi taking notice. He leans in and kisses Viola, who transfers some of it over.
“How is it?”
“Delicious. Super sweet too. My sugar rush might come back soon.”
They chuckle and do it again, kissing for longer. Finally, they start making out without the strawberry. The intensity grew over time with a soft moan escaping the couple’s lips. Musashi guides them up, starting to head towards the bed when Viola pulls away.
“Wait let me take a shower first.” They breathed heavily.
Musashi, feeling warm all over, kisses Viola on the way to the bathroom only to get pushed away.
“Wait for me, please.”
The tipsy man lets out a sigh with a smirk. “Okay I’ll be a little more patient.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t be long.”
“I’ll hold you to it.” Musashi pouts then sits on the edge of the bed. He tries to calm his heart to no avail, lying down staring at the ceiling. Needing to direct all this pent-up energy somewhere, he opens his packed duffel bag to see a present from Bob.
A note reads, “DEAR MUSASHI, I MAY NOT UNDERSTAND YOUR OBESSION WITH THE JAPENEESE BUT I SUPPORT YOU FULLY. I HOPE THE MARRIAGE LIFE SUITS YOU WELL SON, HERE’S A LITTLE SOMETHING TO CELEBRATE.” It’s attached to a bottle of old Japanese sake and 4 boxes of condoms.
Musashi becomes flushed, covering his mouth with his hand. “Dad?! When did he even have time to do this…” He picks up the sake admiring its appearance and supposed quality. It did make him really grateful that his father is trying to embrace some of the culture that has influenced his life so much. The stack of condoms on the other hand…
I mean I could use some, though I thought I had packed enough, he thought, glancing over at the dark corner of his duffel bag. He takes a box and places some of the contents in the beside table. Having it out in open felt too… eager? Even in his excitement, he still wanted their first time together to feel special and connected and-
Just then Viola steps out of the bathroom wearing a white robe that looked oversized on them with the tips of their hair slightly damp. Musashi stops dead in his tracks. Viola looks at him curiously, making him even more breathless.
“Okay, you can take one now. I’ll wait for you.”
Musashi just stares with his mouth slightly agape.
“Oh come on, do I really look that sexy?” Viola inspects the robe covering their chest, making their way up to the stunned man.
“I’m sorry. I blanked out for a second there.”
“I think it was more than a second. Come on, go take a shower and I can show you more.” Viola grabs his hand and leads him to the bathroom.
Musashi stops suddenly in the doorway looking back pitifully. “But-”
“Just go ~” They close the door and sit on the bed, fidgeting with the robe. With no relief from their anxiety, they go to the bedside table and curiously inspect the drawer. A tiny gasp fills the air. They look over to the bathroom then back at the drawer with a smile. They put two of the condoms on top and drink some more champagne. While they’re pacing around with a glass, Musashi steps out with all of his hair in a messy bun and a white robe. Viola sets the glass down and walks towards him, entranced by his beauty. The way some of the hair strands flowed down his neck and the shine from his chest appeared as if he jumped straight out of a manga. Without thinking, they trace his chest, earning heavy breathing from his husband. Viola looks up slowly and Musashi takes the signal, kissing passionately. They slowly move down to the bed, trying to stay as close as possible. Moans escape into the air as the room suddenly feels warmer. Musashi trails kisses down his lover’s neck.
“Mu- Musashi…”
Musashi comes back up to their face, almost out of breath.
“Say that again.”
“Musashi…”
The officer kisses with more intensity and touches all over. His hands slowly reach down to undo the robe when a hand stops him.
“Everything okay?”
“Yeah, I’m just nervous.”
“Then… I’ll go first.” He slowly unties his robe and lets it fall then tosses it to the side. He uses Viola’s hand to trace his chest and abs. Viola sits up to kiss him delicately as one of their shoulders becomes exposed. Musashi gently pushes it down more and unties the robe, making Viola blush and look away.
“…hazukashii…” They say covering their face.
“Haha, kawaii.” He tosses their robe aside and kisses them some more, lying back down.
Viola becomes hotter and more flustered as they feel a hand stroking them. Despite their own insecurities, being in Musashi’s arms felt right. Everything about this feels so right, if they would just get out of their head. I need to go for it, Viola thought.
“Musashi, you can put one on now.” Viola gestures their head towards the bedside table.
He smiles and reaches over. Tearing the wrapper with his teeth, he takes out the condom and puts it on. He goes back to gently kiss his lover some more. The newlyweds look into each other’s eyes and they both nod. Musashi carefully pushes in and they face pleasure together. The room is filled with moans and the scent of sweat as the two give their all to each other. Low bumps against the bed frame become faster as Viola grips on Musashi’s hair and wide shoulder.
“Musashi ~”
“I love you, Viola.” He managed to get out before kissing their lips then the neck, burying himself in their sweet scent and warmth.
“I love you.”
The labored rhythm reaches its peak, and a heavy sigh escapes the couple. Musashi hugs himself against his lover in ecstasy.
“Yabai…” Musashi says in a breathy whisper.
“Yabai?” The couple laughs. Viola holds him in their arms, stroking his hair.
Musashi lifts his head to give a short peck on the lips. “Are you okay?”
“Mm. Are you?”
“I’m fucking fantastic, haha.” He hugs more closely again.
“I’m glad… does that mean you still have more energy for me?”
Musashi gives a big smile. “Always.”
After cleaning himself up, he puts another condom on and flips Viola over to send kisses down their spine. The sensation was electrifying. He kissed the waist using tongue then blew air on the wet spot as a tease. Viola scrunches up in response, earning a chuckle from their husband. He covers them with his body, interlocking their fingers.
“Are you cold?”
“Not anymore.” Viola turns their head for a kiss.
They initiate again slowly.
“Mmm Musashi.”
He smirks again leaning in to whisper, “You know I love it when you say my name…”
“I was hoping it would make you more excited… Mu-sa-shi.”
At that cue, Musashi grabs a hip. “Just remember you started this.”
“But can you finish it? Ah!”
The moaning got louder and the bed rumbled. In one final blow, the couple turned stiff. After a moment, Musashi gives a peck on Viola’s shoulder and gets up to clean himself off. He hands over a tissue so Viola can do the same then he lies back down. They cuddle together feeling warmth and comfort. Musashi gives a kiss on the forehead.
“I love you.”
“I love you, too.”
“So… how was it out of ten?”
Viola laughs.
“Hey! Was it that bad?” He chuckles.
“No no it was really good actually. I might get addicted to it like our kisses.”
“I did bring more protection if you want to…. you know.”
“I would but I’m super tired. We’ll have plenty of chances on our official honeymoon.”
“True. So, what number out of ten?”
“Haha okay um… nine.”
“Okay, there’s always room for improvement I see.”
“Right, can’t have you getting it to your head. But if I’m being honest…” they start to whisper, “it’s ten.”
Musashi smiles widely. He attacks with little kisses all over their face, making Viola laugh and squirm.
“Okay okay! ~ Let’s go to bed, I’m super tired.”
“Me too but I don’t know, for some reason, my heart is beating rapidly.”
“Let me hear it… hmm seems like a side effect of VioZashi love syndrome.”
“Oh no, is it curable?”
“Nope!” Viola lies back down and snuggles into Musashi’s arm while he chuckles.
“Haha, sounds like you’re stuck with me then.”
“Mm. And you’re stuck with me.”
They cuddle while slowly drifting off to sleep after some time in the silence of the night.
As the sun comes up the next morning, the police officer wakes up out of habit with his lover still in his arms. He gingerly slides over a strand of light purple hair from Viola’s face.
I wonder what you see in me… Before I met you, I was just a boy following an old samurai code and trying to get back to Japan. Now, I feel like a man who has evolved so much and that’s partly because of you. And I had no idea at first. And now, we’re about to go on our honeymoon, he thought. He gazes over at the beams of light creeping through the curtains. “My little hareotoko.” He strokes their hair. Then a small noise escapes their throat and their eyes flutter open. A view of Musashi backlit with his messy hair fills their eyes, bringing a smile to their face. Viola readjusts their position in their husband’s arms, hiding from the light.
“Sunshine ~ Don’t hide how you feel. Look, you made it the perfect day for our flight. Don’t waste it.”
“Mmm, one more hour. I haven’t slept in for so long. Please ~” they say in a gruffly, low-pitched voice.
“I- I can’t argue with that haha.”
The two of them sleep a few more hours. During the couple’s slumber, Viola wakes up with Musashi’s face next to them looking relaxed. They caress his neck with their hand.
You’re so cute. Who would’ve thought that mysterious man I saw on Spark would be someone I hold so close to my heart and make my husband. They trace his eyebrow and nose. I speak so little and yet when I’m with you, I never want to stop talking. They move down to the jaw line. Even with our busy lives, you still find time for me, for us, Viola thought. Finally, they trace his lips.
“My moon.”
Suddenly, his lover grabs their hand and kisses it gently. His eyes open.
“Good morning, again.”
“Good morning. I’m happy to finally sleep in a little.”
“Me too. The PD has been way too busy for my liking. Even though I always find a chance to see you.
“Yeah, I would say I wish I could see you more often at work, but that would be a bad thing.”
“That’s true. It doesn’t matter now because we have a whole week to ourselves soon.”
“When’s our flight?”
“Mmm 15:30. It didn’t seem too busy.”
“Okay. Let’s get some breakfast.”
Musashi brings them closer.
“I don’t know, I think I have all I need right here.”
“Come on, I can hear your stomach growling.”
“Right, alcohol makes me super hungry, but I was too distracted by… you know… other things.” He caresses their hip.
“Oh? Like our wedding?” They giggle.
“Yes, of course, my husband.”
“Mm, for that you can have one kiss.”
“Just one?”
“It depends on how I feel.”
“Only one way to find out…” Musashi gives a long, slow kiss till Viola looks away.
“Okay okay, let’s get up.” They say as they sit up but Musashi keeps giving little pecks wherever he can reach. Viola stumbles out of bed with his husband chasing him. They reach the bathroom and decide to take a shower together to the officer’s delight. Unfortunately for him, the doctor tells him to behave and they wash up. On the main lobby floor, the couple eat at a nice breakfast buffet while going over their wedding and all the crazy events that took place beforehand.
“I still can’t believe Officer Dweemer married a monkey.”
“And I can’t believe he didn’t do it sooner. That guy is one character for sure. Going on patrol with him was always fun.”
After finishing their meal, one of Bob’s chauffeurs picks up the two again and loads up their luggage in the car. Viola inspects their sapphire ring closely on the way to the airport.
“Okay, you can tell me, how much was this?”
“Mmm, let’s just say… your brother-in-law hooked me up with a deal.”
“Officer Omi? Really?”
“Yeah, that’s partly why I finally entrusted him to Tara. He’s helped me out a lot and I’m very grateful for it.”
“Yeah, he seems like a great guy. I can tell he makes Tara really happy even though they haven’t kissed much.” The newlyweds share a laugh.
At the airport, they’re dropped off near a small private airplane that has “BURGERWEATHER” in bold red letters painted on the side. Viola gasps.
“Did you-”
“Yep, private airplane. My dad said that his first-born son should have the best for his honeymoon and let us use this. Don’t worry, there’s a professional pilot too.”
“Oh my god, this is amazing. You’re too good at surprises.”
“Oh sorry, should I be more boring?” He chuckles.
“No, stay just the way you are. The adrenaline, remember?”
“Right right.”
As the couple boards the private plane, the pilot greets them warmly. Inside is an all-black interior with marbled flooring. The seats have thick cushions while a glass table is neatly polished with two glasses of champagne. The doctor involuntarily gasps again, covering their mouth and looking around.
“You like it?” Musashi asks.
“I love it. I’ve never seen one that’s dark on the inside.”
“Yeah, my father wanted it to be really different so he could keep his mind off of flying.”
“Oh that’s right, he’s scared of planes.”
“Yeah, I wouldn’t blame him either. He rarely flies around these days, but he’s been wanting to visit Japan with me and my sisters.”
“Aww that’s sweet of him. We should do that together as a family trip.”
“True, but I want us to go alone too so I can show all the places I went to as a kid.”
“Sure, maybe next year.”
“To celebrate our one-year anniversary. Sounds perfect.”
The newlyweds clink their glasses together and strap in for the trip. Take off was smooth and the couple gazed out the window while holding hands. Viola turns to Musashi.
“I love you so much. I don’t think I’ve said that enough.”
“You didn’t have to. I can feel it.” He kisses their hand.
Viola leans in to kiss gently, sending a message.
“See, you just said I love you again.”
“Hm, I don’t think I said it quite right. Let me try again.” They kiss him.
“Mm. I’ll never get tired of that.” Musashi says, giving a warm smile. Viola giggles.
“I love you too, Viola. And I always will, till my last days here on Earth, and in my next life after and the one after that.”
The couple hug and look out the window once more, seeing the fluffy clouds pass by as they make their way to their honeymoon destination.
