- Hello! It's me Sugashi! I just want to say that this will be the final chapter of Paper-thin Hearts! Thank you so much for reading my story! I love you all \^o^/ -

- 3rd person -

Eight months had passed since the whole Michimiya thing and Asahi and Noya couldn't be in better shape.  They were currently getting ready for a weekend vacation with the gang which included  Suga, Daichi, Tanaka, and his girlfriend and the fearful gang leader: Ryu.

They were going to a beach in Osaka! It was originally Suga's and Tanaka's idea but once they told everybody everyone was immediately on board especially Ryu who refused to go to sleep that night until his papa had agreed to it and of course being Asahi he did.

"Make sure you have your jeffy Ryu!" Noya says as he packs drinks and snacks into a random bag. Ryu looks up at Noya with puppy eyes " Shi-chan Can I bring more than one jeffy? PWEASE!"  Noya instantly stops and looks down at Ryu before sternly saying " Ryu, You know your papa already said you could only bring one!"

Ryu twiddles with his fingers before quietly mumbling " But if you say it's okay then papa will be okay with it!" Noya chuckles and shakes his head before bending down to ruffle Ryu's hair " You silly goose! You can only bring one okay!" Ryu puffs out his lip and pouts until Noya sighs and speaks again " You can bring one jeffy AND Tiki the penguin but no more jeffy's!"

Ryu instantly brightens up and quickly hugs Noya " YAYYYYY THANK YOU SHI-CHANN!"  Noya chuckles and hugs Ryu back tightly before Ryu runs off to go get his second favorite stuffed animal: Tiki.

" I saw that!" Asahi shouts from the other room causing Noya to laugh " You said no more than One jeffy.... You NEVER said no more than one stuff animal!"  Noya hears Asahi laugh from the other room and smiles to himself as he continues to put the snacks and drinks in his bag.

A lot has happened in the span of eight months. Like for one Daichi and Suga broke up but mostly because Daichi said Moana was better than little mermaid.... it didn't end well... but it's okay because they got back together like 30 minutes after. Tanaka was scouted to be a professional trainer for a major volleyball team in Tokyo and finally the most important.... Ryu was now moving to the First grade!

..... Many tears were shed that night.... mostly from Asahi, Noya, and Daichi.....

Another important thing that happened that Asahi refuses to acknowledge as an "important" thing is that Ryu had his first date.... with Haru... Oikawa's kid.

well.

It wasn't actually a date! It was a play date! That ended with Haru kissing Ryu which Asahi wasn't exactly happy about... Anyway, that pretty much sums up where we are now!

" Omgsh Noya what the heck are you packing for snacks?! YOUR WHOLE PANTRY OR WHAT?! WHAT'S TAKING SO LONG?!" Suga yells from the living room. Noya closes the bag and makes his way to the living room " Suga will you calm down you're stressing me out!"

Suga then sighs and shakes his head " Sorry Darling.... I'm cranky because I had vigorous sex all night!" Noya instantly blushes because he too had very VERY proactive sex last night... and he had the bruises and bite marks to prove it.

" GET IT GIRLLLL! But don't take your crap out on me" Noya says as he winks at Noya playfully. Suga laughs until he spots Daichi out of the corner of his eyes. He quickly gets up and jumps in Daichi's back causing him to almost lose his footing " wOah! You came out of nowhere angel"

Suga places a light peck on Daichi's neck before jumping off " I was waiting for you, are you ready?" Suga asks Daichi as he loads up some luggage into the back of Suga's van.  " Yup! we're almost ready to go! we're just waiting on them!" Daichi then turns to look at Noya and Asahi who are smiling awkwardly at the other duo.

" WHAT! I want to be prepared!" Asahi says as he slings a backpack over his shoulder.  Daichi squints at Asahi " It's a weekend trip bro.... nothing's going to happen!" Asahi and Daichi glare at each other until Ryu runs past Asahi whilst holding a stuff animal giraffe and penguin.

" Are you being mean to papa again Dai-chan!" Ryu asks as he places his stuffed animals in his seat. Daichi puts his hands awkwardly behind his head " I have no idea what you're talking about Ryu!" Ryu simply points at Daichi and says " Don't be mean to papa Dai-chan or I won't give you anymore huggies!"

Daichi winces.... he's been here before... the trauma... " Ryu.... you're so mean!"  Ryu walks over to Daichi and smiles " If you aren't being mean to papa then you have nothing to worry about Dai-chan!" Daichi looks over at Asahi who is now sticking his tongue out at him and smirking.

Suga and Noya look at the two before laughing to themselves and entering the car/ van.

Suga and Daichi were in the driver and passenger seats while Asahi and Noya were in the back with Ryu sitting in between them.

" CAN WE LISTEN TO THE LITTLE MERMAID!" Ryu squeals with excitement. Suga instantly turns back and high fives Ryu " That's my boy!" Suga says proudly. Daichi sighs and shakes his head " Ryu you don't want to listen to Moana....?" Ryu shakes his head quickly and smiles " Noooooo! I wanna listen to Ariel!!"

Daichi looks over at Suga who's smirking in victory before he sighs and plugs his phone into the AUX to play the soundtrack to the little mermaid. Noya looks down at Ryu and smiles, Ryu looks up and spots Noya smiling at him and can't help but giggle " I wuvvvvv youuu shi-chan!" Ryu happily exclaims as he hugs Noya's side.

Noya's heart does a 360 turn and almost jumps out of his chest. He then put an arm over Ryu's shoulder as Ryu leans on him. Asahi smiles at the two before discretely slipping his hand into Noya's. Noya smiles to himself before placing his head on top of Ryu's while Asahi places his head on Noya's. The three quickly fall asleep with " Kiss the girl" playing in the background.

-Timeskip to when they get too Osaka-

The four had finally made it to the Hotel where they'll be staying at. Noya and Suga are the first to enter the building and instantly scream when they spot Tanaka sitting next to Kiyoko.

" TANAKAAAAAAAAA" " CITYYYYY BOIIIII!" Suga and Noya yell as they run in Tanaka's direction. Tanaka stands up and points to both of them " MY BOYSSSSSSS!" They all embrace in a hug until a soft cough is heard.

Noya and Suga both push Tanaka out of the way and quickly hug Kiyoko " ITS SO GOOD TO SEEEE YOUUU KOKO!!!" Suga yells as he happily embraces Kiyoko. Once Suga pulls away it's Noya's turn to yell " GODDESS KIYOKO IVE MISSED YOUUUUU!!!" He then embraces Kiyoko in a tight hug as she giggles.

" I've missed you both as well" Kiyoko says softly. " SHI-CHAN! SUGA-CHAN WHERE DID YOU GOOOO~" Ryu yells at the entrance of the building trying his best to spot the two. Tanaka instantly squeals at the sight of Ryu and calls out for him " RYUUUUUU MY NEPHEWWW UNCLE NAKA IS HEREEE!"

Ryu quickly spots Tanaka and screams happily " NAKA-CHANNNNNNNNN!" He then waddles over the fastest he can. Tanaka quickly swifts up Ryu and spins him around causing a fit of giggles to erupt from the smoll boy.

Tanaka stops spinning him and holds him close to his chest. Ryu looks over at Kiyoko curiously and asks " Naka-chan who's is she?" Tanaka smiles brightly and walks over to Kiyoko " This my girlfriend Kiyoko!" Kiyoko looks at Ryu and smiles " Nice to meet you, Ryu!"

Ryu looks at Kiyoko and stays silent until he speaks up moments later " NAKA-CHAN SHES SO PRETYYYYYY!" Everyone laughs as Ryu continues to stare at Kiyoko completely awestruck. He then points at her and smiles " Can I call you Yoko-chan?" Kiyoko giggles and nods " Of course Ryu-san!" Ryu instantly throws his hands up in the air and giggles earning awes from the group.

" Thanks for helping us out with the luggage" Daichi says sarcastically as he and Asahi make their way towards them hauling a cart full of luggage along with them. Suga and Noya look at each other before shrugging " I'm short and he's too pretty to do anything!" Noya says while Suga nods his head in agreement.

Daichi and Asahi look at each other and laugh. They both spit Tanaka and quickly make their way to greet him and introduce themselves to Kiyoko.

Once everyone says they're hellos they all make their way up to their separate hotel room to get settled in. Asahi and Noya are currently staying in a room with One bed since they both rather cuddle with Ryu anyway.

" Asahi are you alright? You've been staring at that box for like 10 minutes now" Noya states as he begins to unpack his luggage. Asahi quickly puts the box in his pocket and awkwardly laughs " OH YES! Erm, I'm okay! just peachy actually! I'm gonna go over there now!" He then awkwardly exits the room leaving Noya a baffled mess.

" Uhh, Ryu I think your papa is acting weird!" Ryu looks up at Noya and nods " Me too!" Noya then chuckles and walks over to Ryu to help unpack his bag. " Shi-chan Can I ask you a question and you promise not to get mad?" Ryu asks curiously as he twiddles with his fingers.

Noya stops unpacking and looks at Ryu with concerned filled eyes " Of course Ryu! You can always talk to me!" Ryu bites his lips nervously and hesitatingly asks " Would you be mad if I called you mama?" Noya freezes and looks over at Ryu who is eyeing him nervously.

What the hell do I say?! Sure I don't mind! But what if Asahi does?! WE HAVENT HAD THIS CONVERSATION YET! Noya was about to speak until Ryu quickly dismisses it " Sorry Shi-chan! It's just that  Naki has two papa's as well but she calls her other papa 'mama'"

Noya looks down at Ryu and smiles... That is true Naki does call Akaashi mama while she calls Bokuto papa. Noya walks over to Ryu and bends down next to him " I love whatever names you call me Ryu! but if you want to call me mama you should ask your Papa and maybe wait till me and your papa get married!"

Ryu thinks to himself before looking up once more " When will you and papa get married?" Noya smiles to himself before tucking a hair behind Ryu's ear " Hopefully soon" Ryu giggles and then hugs Noya " I can't wait till your my mama shi-chan!"  Noya's eyes begun to get teary as he hugs Ryu and smiles " Now look what you've done! I'm an emotional mess silly!"

Ryu grabs Noya's face and places light kisses on Noya's eyelids " There! That's what papa does to make me feel better when I cry!" Noya smiles because Asahi does that to him when he cries as well. " Aren't we blessed that you have such a good papa!" Ryu shakes his head and smiles " I love papa! and I love Shi-chan! (*^▽^*)

" You wanna help me unpack all the luggage?" Noya asks Ryu. Ryu nods happily before they both begin to slowly unpack all the luggage.

- Meanwhile with Suga, Daichi, Tanaka, and Asahi-

"STOP FREAKING OUT MAN NOW YOU'RE FREAKING ME OUT!" Daichi exclaims as he examines the box in Asahi's hands. You see everyone but Noya and Ryu was aware that Asahi was planning to purpose. I mean what man would he be if he didn't ask for permission from his future in-laws aka Suga and Tanaka.

When Asahi first brought up marriage to Suga months ago Suga almost choked on his rice. He was extremely happy that Asahi was ready for the next step in his relationship with Noya because Asahi was good for Noya. They were good for each other. That of course doesn't mean that he didn't send a couple of death threats his way.

Now when he brought up Marriage to Tanaka, It was Vietnam. He sat there for an hour while Tanaka glared a hole right through him. It was the quietest he had ever seen Tanaka and it was scary.

Tanaka when on and on for hours once he began talking. He talked about how he meet Noya, how they became friends, and how Noya became one of the most important people in his life. He also briefly mentioned that he knew how to hide a body if he needed to.

but after all that Tanaka was extremely happy, they both were. Suga and Tanaka were very excited to see their bro get the life he deserved. Once he had gotten approval from the in-laws he made his move to tell his best friend aka Daichi.

Daichi wasn't at all surprised in fact his words were " I knew you were getting ready to purpose before you knew you were getting ready to purpose!"  They both laughed and talked for hours about how lucky they were to be dating the most perfect men in history.

Now here they are... trying to find the best way to asks Ryu if he's okay with Noya becoming a permanent part of his life.  Sure Asahi could tell he loved Noya... but Asahi absolutely needed Ryu's blessing if he was going to do this... tonight.

" ITS NOT THAT COMPLICATED! ILL GRAB NOYA WHILE YOU TAKE RYU AND TALK!" Daichi yells as he exits the room now making his way down to Asahi's room.

" WILL YOU WAIT! This is all about timing!" Asahi whispers harshly as he catches up to Daichi. Daichi looks at Asahi and whispers " Now or never!"  Before Asahi could protest Daichi loudly knocks on the door.

A moment later Noya opens it whilst holding Ryu. " Uhh yes?" Noya looks at Daichi and Asahi curiously. Daichi smirks at Asahi before speaking " Suga wanted me to bring you said it had something to do with strawberries and then cheesecake" Noya's eyes instantly light up " HE ORDERED STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE?!" Daichi shrugs while Asahi awkwardly smiles.

" LETS GO GET SOME RYU!" Noya instantly says as he tries to exit the room but Daichi cuts him off " Actually Asahi needed to speak to Ryu you see he's upset with him!" Asahi flinches at the word upset and instantly looks down. " Noya looks down at a worried Ryu before turning back to look at Asahi " is this about the whole stuff animal thing because in all fairness I said he could do it!"

Asahi shakes his head and tries his best to look upset " It has nothing to do with that, please leave while I talk to him"  Noya looks down at Ryu who looks sad and scared before he hesitatingly puts him down. Daichi then grabs ahold of Noya's arm " let's just go... we'll ask him about it later!" Noya slowly nods before exiting the room while looking back at Asahi curiously.

Asahi gently pushes Ryu inside the room and quickly closes the door. " Papa I don't know what I did but I'm sorry!" Ryu says with teary eyes as he looks up at Asahi. Asahi's heart does backflips and he quickly hugs Ryu " Oh baby you did nothing wrong I'm not mad I promise!"

Ryu rubs his eyes and hiccups " You're not mad?" Asahi gently rubs Ryu's head and smiles " I'm not mad!" Ryu then tilts his head in confusion " Then why did you say you were mad papa?" Asahi shakily sighs as he pulls out the tiny black box in his pocket. " You see I have a present for Shi-chan!"

Ryu stares confusedly at the black box " But papa it's just a box!" Asahi chuckles as he opens the box gently to reveal a silver ring with Noya's name embroidered on the inner part of it.

Ryu gasps and stares in awe at the ring. Asahi smiles and holds up the ring in front of him " You see papa loves Shi-chan very much and wants to spend the rest of his life with him! but you're a big part of papa's life so he wants to make sure you're okay with Shi-chan being in it too."

Ryu stares in awe at the ring before abruptly hugging Asahi and crying. Asahi pats Ryu's back and Ryu sniffles " I want papa and shi-chan to be with me forever!"  Asahi smiles and gently wipes away Ryu's tears " Thank you for saying that Ryu!" Asahi then hugs Ryu tightly for a couple moments longer until he speaks again " You can't till shi-chan till after Papa tells him okay!"

Ryu puts a finger over his lips and says " shhhh"  Asahi chuckles and nods " That's right shhhh"  Asahi and Ryu leave the room moments later and make their way to where Noya and everyone else was. The moment they enter Noya looks up at Asahi and Ryu smiling and is instantly relieved.

" There you guys are!" Noya exclaims before walking over to them. " Yeah sorry about that we just needed to talk some stuff out but we're alright now!" Asahi says while looking down at Ryu who is simply nodding.

" So what's the plan for Today!" Suga asks looking over at the three. Noya and Asahi look at each other and smile " BEACH DAYYY!" Everyone laughs and smiles before they all make their way back to their rooms to get ready.

- Timeskip to the beach -

"Ryu make sure you wear a floaty!" Noya yells at Ryu who is currently running towards the ocean with Tanaka. Ryu turns around to wave at Noya and Asahi who are sitting hand in hand on the beach.  The two chuckle before waving back and watching Ryu grab a ducky floater and then entering the sea.

" So why aren't you going in?" Noya turns and raises an eyebrow at Asahi who is currently sitting next to him. Asahi instantly stiffens and awkwardly chuckles " oh uhhh no reasonnnnn!" Noya glares at Asahi suspiciously while Asahi tries his best to avoid eye contact. Noya then lights up and points at him " OMGSH ARE YOU SCARED OF THE WATER TOO?!"

Asahi's eyes go wide " IM NOT SCARED OF THE WATER! AND WHAT DO YOU MEAN TOO?!" Now it was Noya's turn to be awkward as he dismissively waves his hand " that's not what's important! Why won't you go in the water?!"

Asahi sighs and twiddles with his thumbs " Don't laugh...." Noya looks at Asahi curiously and smiles " I won't laugh" Asahi takes a deep breath and says " I.... can't swim..."

Noya puts a hand over his mouth quickly " YOU SAID YOU WOULDNT LAUGH!" Asahi yells now looking at Noya completely embarrassed. Noya tries his best to muffle out his laughter " I'm sorry BUT Asahi! You're like 6ft tall I promise you you'll be okay if you don't go too far in!"

Asahi puffs out his cheek childishly " Yeah but WHAT IF I DROWN?!" Noya laughs and squeezes Asahi's hand " Ryu is like 4ft tall and he's fearless! Look at his with his ducky floater!" Asahi looks up at Ryu swimming around with his ducky floater before gently laughing.

" yeah yeah! Now! What do you mean you're scared of water?" Asahi turns to look at Noya and smirks. Noya's eyes go wide and just as he was about to dismiss the matter Suga comes out of nowhere " Well it all started when were 6 swimming in my backyard pool-" Noya turns to look at Suga and screams " SUGA NOOOOOO!"

Asahi turns to look at Suga and screams as well " SUGA YESSSS!" Suga looks down at Noya and smirks " We were swimming in my backyard pull and I was pretending to be a shark.... well I dragged him by his foot and freaked him out! He's not actually scared of water he's scared that a shark's gonna eat him!"

Suga then claps his hand and walks away leaving Asahi into a fit of giggles while Noya dies from embarrassment " So.... You think a shark is going to get you.... in this shallow water?" Asahi asks between laughs. Noya flicks Asahi on the forehead with his free hand and sassily says " It was a tRaUmatiC event! AND THERES A HIGHER POSSIBILITY OF SHARKS ENDIND ME THEN YOU A 6 FOOT MAN DROWNING!"

Asahi burst out into laughs before standing up and hauling Noya over his shoulder " NO ASAHI! PUT ME DOWN! DONT YOU DARE!" Asahi chuckles as he makes his way to the water. Once he enters he holds Noya closely and presses his forehead against Noya's " There.... a shark probably won't attack you from up here right?"

Noya bonks Asahi's forehead along with his earning a yelp from Asahi before pinching his cheek " Why you little-" Noya then feels something tug on his clothing and he freezes " Asahi.... SHARKKKKKK!" Asahi's eyes go wide before he burst out into laughter " Shi-chan my name isn't shark it's ryu silly!" Noya turns around and spots Ryu gripping his clothing. He instantly sighs in relief and pulls Ryu closer to him.

" You scared me silly!" Noya says as he brings Ryu into a tight hug. Ryu giggles and hugs Noya back tightly. " Papa! Guess what!" Asahi and Noya both look at Ryu " What Ryu?" Ryu then sticks out his tongue " Chicken butt!" Asahi's and Noya's mouth drop open. " WOOHOO GOO RYU!" Tanaka yells proudly towards Ryu who is giggling.

Noya breaks off from Asahi and swims over to Tanaka " WHY ARE YOU CORRUPTING MY PURE SWEET RYU!" Tanaka screams before trying his best to swim as far as possible from Noya. " DONT RUN FROM YOUR CONSEQUENCES!" Noya yells as he continues to swim after Tanaka. Everyone looks at Noya and Tanaka and laughs while Ryu giggles cheerfully.

Ryu looks up at sees Asahi smiling brightly at Noya and smiles... He was truly happy!

Hours passed and everyone was beginning to grow noticeably tan as they sprawled out on the sand staring up at the sunset. Noya was cuddling with Asahi while Ryu was making sandcastles in front of them.

" I could get used to this..." Noya mumbles as he looks over at Ryu smiling brightly while decorating his sandcastles with tiny seashells. Asahi looks over at Noya and smiles " Me too" Noya then breaks his eyes off of Ryu and holds eye contact with Asahi. The two start gradually leaning into each other until their faces are an inch apart.

Asahi finally closes in and kisses Noya gently. The kiss was sweet and full of longing as their tongues danced with once another. Moments later they pull away both out of breath. Asahi grabs the black box from his back which was next to him and stands up now turning to kneel in front of Noya.

Ryu gasps and squeals with excitement along with the others who are nearby. " Noya... Ive known you for 11 months, two of those months we awkwardly interacted with each other after finding out you were Ryu's teacher, the third month we finally got together and the rest has been the most fun and memorable months I've ever had. I've never regretted the first night we spent together and I will forever thank the gods that Daichi was stupid enough to kick me out of my own house!"

Noya's eyes go teary-eyed before he chuckles happily. He brings his hands over his mouth as an uncontrollable smile appears on his face as he waits for Asahi to continue " I love you, and I will continue to love you till the day I die. The way you treat Ryu makes my heart do backflips... No. Everything you do makes my heart do backflips. So, please...

Do me the honor of becoming my husband so I can spend everyday living happily with the person I love!"

Asahi then opens the black box to reveal a silver ring with Noya's name embroidered on the inner side. He gasps and begins to cry joyfully.  He looks up at Asahi and quickly pounces on him " YES!" A tear escaped Asahi's eyes and he happily laughs while he puts the ring on Noya's finger. They both hear sniffles and turn to look at Ryu who is crying " WAHHHHH!"

Ryu then runs to the both of them and grips on to both their shirts tightly. Noya hugs Ryu happily while Asahi holds them both. The three cry joyfully while Daichi holds Suga as he cries and Kiyoko does the same for Tanaka.  Noya looks down at Ryu and kisses his eyelids " We get to be together forever now Ryu!" Ryu nods and smiles while tears continue to run down his face. He raises his arms and hugs Noya's face " Does this means I can call you mama now?"

Noya smiles and turns to Asahi who simply nods while tears continue to run down his face. " Yes, Ryu... You can call me mama now!"  Ryu pounces on Noya and yells " Mamaaaaa! Papaaaaa!"  The three all laugh joyously until Tanaka speaks up " I WANT TO HUG TOO!"

He then runs towards the three who are group hugging and wraps his arms around the three. Noya and Asahi laugh along with Ryu who giggles. Suga sighs and runs over to them while yelling " WE'RE HAVING A WEDDING!"

Noya turns to Suga and cries instantly.  Suga smiles proudly at Noya before walking over to him and pulling him into a tight embrace " I'm so proud of you" Noya then grips onto Suga's shirt and cries uncontrollably. Daichi then walks over to Asahi teary-eyed and hugs him " I'm so happy for you man!" Asahi chuckles " Thanks man... for everything!"

Noya looks over at Ryu who is writing something in the sand. He lets go is Suga and walks over to Ryu " What are you doing Ryu?" Ryu looks up at Noya and throws his hands up " I made a drawing!"  Asahi then walks over to Noya as they both read what Ryu drew in the sand.

" papa and mama with ryu forever!"

Asahi looks down at Ryu and quickly swifts him up from the ground and instantly plants his face with kisses causing Ryu to squeal and giggle. Moments later Ryu looks over at Noya and opens his arms " GROUP HUGGIE!" ＞ω＜

Noya and Asahi look at each other before chuckling and yelling unanimously " GROUP HUGGIE!"

The three laugh together while Asahi and Noya stand hand in hand while looking up at the sky. Noya turns to look at Asahi and smiles he then places a light kiss on his cheek " I love you"

Asahi turns his head and kisses Noya passionately on the lips before pulling away and putting his forehead against his

" I love you too forever and always"
