[ It takes him another minute to let it really sink in. He never thought that something like this would happen, especially before when he didn't think he would connected to anyone in his life. Now he has friends—friends that are getting married and... They can be in each other's lives. They're family.
This is such an honor that he has never felt in his life, catching him off guard even if it's a natural course for marriage. He rubs his face, shuts his eyes, overwhelmed. DON'T Cry. He has to speak up, say that he accepts, but.
Let him just squat to the floor with his face in his hands, repeating to himself that Elliot is getting married. Yusuke and him will be there both as best man. Taking a deep breath in, he finally lets it out: ]
[oh no Akira. Elliot will smile and squat down next to him, putting a hand on his shoulder as he works through those emotions. It wasn't even a question of who his best men would be. Akira and Yusuke have been with him since he moved to Recolle. They've laughed together, cried together, been through one harrowing situation after another...always to come out closer together in the end.
Never in this lifetime had he had a friendship like he had with Akira and Yusuke. He felt grateful for it every day]
[ He's internally shaking, Elliot!! But he's trying to keep his cool and calm—stay composed, Akira. You can't be the one breaking down when it isn't even your wedding. Mustering as much confidence as he can, he clasps a hand on Elliot's shoulder, too.
If Elliot wasn't such a good guy, he would be sure this is an attack on his person. ]
Remember you're giving me a mic. Hopefully, you won't regret this.
[ There will be years of dirt he will collect for that Moment. ]
[ HE ISN'T GOING TO YELL AT HIS CAT. It's. Called. Practicing your speech. Instead of in front of the mirror, it's with your cat. ]
Cross your fingers.
[ Rolling back up onto his feet, he feels so... Light? Like this is just a dream even though he isn't getting married. Of course, he offers Elliot a hand so he can pull him up. ]
