[Guess who's belting out "Happy Birthday to You" with all the vigor of a jpop idol? Yes, it's this buffoon. Finally, when the torture is over:]

Heya, Vash! Don't worry, I got the cake angle covered!

[Presenting DONUT CAKE!!!!]

👍👍👍

🥳👍👍

( Okay, it's kind of impossible to be down in the dumps when someone's singing so exuberantly at you. It's even more impossible when there's a cake like that. Hello???? )

Is that for me?

( Salivating already. )

[intertwinedfates]

[Yatogami is here to turn that frown upside down!! Even if it takes embarrassing himself to do it. Anything for a friend!]

Of course! And I even got us some iced cake-flavored vodka to try with it!

[Who knew that was a thing??]

[photosympathies]

Where do you find these things?

( Bright laughter. )

But okay, only a little though! Hiyori will be really mad if we end up hungover.

( You know, that little thing called a wedding that's happening tomorrow. )

[intertwinedfates]

You can thank my divine senses, hehe~

[In other words, he's learning googlefu well.]

Yeah, can't get shitfaced quite yet! We'll save that for after the honeymoon, how's that?

[If he showed up drunk to his own wedding, Hiyori really would throttle him. Possibly both of them.]

[photosympathies]

Sounds like a plan.

( And because weddings are more exciting than terrible birthdays -. )

Nervous?

[intertwinedfates]

[Hopefully he's helped make it a little less terrible in his own dorky way...?]

Honestly? A little, yeah. Part of me is scared the other shoe is gonna drop and something will happen. The other part is afraid I won't live up to being her husband.

[photosympathies]

You will! You might have to try really hard, but I know how important she is to you, and I know you won't want to let her down.

( There have been mistakes, they both know that. But Vash is close to them both, the love shines through. He's sure they'll be fine. )

[intertwinedfates]

I'm definitely gonna give it my all, like I never have before, that's for damn sure! I'll probably stumble along the way like I usually do, but so long as she'll have me, I'll keep trying.

[With any luck, he's past making major mistakes. He's learned a lot in the year or so he's been here, after all.]

[photosympathies]

I'm really happy for you, you know that? The both of you. If anyone can work it out it's going to be the two of you. And you know I'm here to run errands for you if you're busy being newlyweds.

( He will do the snack run for them. )

[intertwinedfates]

Thanks, Vash. It means a lot to us both. I don't think too many people back home would've been keen on us getting together. Though maybe I'll have to hire you to be my delivery guy if there's anything Hiyori suddenly wants!

[Since he's still hesitant to leave her side even now after her getting sucked into the rift...]

[photosympathies]

Well, if anyone says otherwise they're real dumb. And don't worry! I'll be on guard and ready to tackle anyone who tries to object. I'm ready.

[intertwinedfates]

Hehe, I think both you and Hiyori would be ready to fight anyone who voices a complaint. I'd probably just cry, honestly.

[He's gonna do a lot of crying tomorrow, no doubt.]

[photosympathies]

Well, we'll have none of that!

( He says, knowing full well he's going to cry all throughout. )

It's a happy day! You're going to be so loved up, there'll be no tears.

[intertwinedfates]

You gotta afford me a few tears! At least a couple?

[They can sniffle and sob together!]

But yeah, I think I may just melt from being that loved... I've never had so many people supporting me as I do here.

[photosympathies]

Maybe one or two.

( Jk bawling city. )

That's good, isn't it? You deserve to be loved.

[intertwinedfates]

Hehe, sounds good.

[Between the pair of them, they'll cry a river to decorate the party.]

I think so. I just... never thought there'd be a day where I was... Not again. Not after Sakura.

[photosympathies]

I know.

( His voice goes careful, gentle. )

Think about it this way, there's going to be even better things now. Married life, that's a lot.

[intertwinedfates]

[Nodding a bit, he clenches a hand into a fist.]

Yeah...! Things may generally be the same, but at the same time I think it'll be completely different. It's a big step.

[photosympathies]

You'll manage it. You have Hiyori with you. She's pretty smart.

[intertwinedfates]

She sure is! Smarter than me, at least, not that that's saying much some days, heh.

[photosympathies]

Hey now, you helped people, remember? That took smarts.
