Touya stood in front of the altar, wearing his dark blue tuxedo and black oxford. He had his hands tucked in his pockets as he waits for his soon-to-be husband to enter the double doors of the church.
"Touya," He hears his sister whisper loudly from the first pew. He turns towards her with his eyebrows raised and asked, "What?"
"Button your polo," Fuyumi scolds, making him roll his eyes, "it's embarrassing to the priest."
"He's just here to marry us. Besides, we paid for the church to marry us. It's not like he's here to check out my collar bones," Touya says and faces front again. He checks his watch and taps his foot as he stares at the double door.
"He prides himself as the fastest but can't even get here quick enough," He says to himself and sighs, "I'll pluck those wings of his if he's late, I swear,"
"Patience, nii-chan," Shoto says when he hears his brother's murmurs. Touya turns to him and gives him a small smirk, "how much did Hawks pay you to take his side? I'm your brother, not him,"
"He'll be my brother-in-law," Shoto answers, making Touya click his tongue, "he's going to be part of the family after this, nii-chan,"
"Since when did you learn to talk like that?" Touya asks with his eyes squinted in suspicion. Shoto smiles, and that's enough for him to understand, "stop smiling like that. That bird is influencing you too much,"
Natsuo wraps his arms around Shoto's shoulder and winks at Touya after saying, "Keigo's a good influence though,"
Touya rolls his eyes and shakes his head, "good influence, my ass," he says and turns towards the door when their song starts to play.
"C'mon now, boys, the wedding's about to start, let your brother be," Rei says and gives Touya a reassuring smile.
Touya's eyes were locked on the double door as he listens to the song play. He could feel his heart racing in his chest. He never thought of marriage, not until he met Keigo, so there he is, savoring the mixture of joy and anxiety flooding his system that made him feel like he could combust any minute from now.
The song stops, and Touya buries his hands in his pockets as he waits for Keigo to enter. He can feel his palms sweating, so he decides to hide them in his pocket. He takes a sharp inhale and suppresses a smile that's threatening to show.
Touya kept his eyes on Keigo as he walks down the aisle with Enji. Keigo looked breathtaking with his white tuxedo and red inner polo that matched his wings. Touya made sure to take a mental image of the way Keigo walked down the aisle with his lips curved into the brightest smile he's ever seen. The way the corner of his eyes crinkled and the way his eyes sparkled as he approaches the altar will forever be etched in Touya's memories.
"Took you long enough," Touya whispers when Keigo and Enji finally arrived. Enji gave Keigo's hand to Touya and said, "Be happy,"
Touya rolls his eyes at him and scoffs, "I sure will. I'll make sure my marriage won't end up like yours," he says with spite, making Enji respond with nothing but a nod.
Touya took Keigo's hand in his, and Enji walks to sit beside his family. The couple faces the altar with smiles on their face, and the priest starts with the first part of the wedding. Their hands were interlaced the entire time, and even though neither of them spoke, they both knew how happy they are together.
The ceremony proceeded without a hitch, not until they reached the wedding vows. Hawks had tears slowly welling in his eyes as he takes Touya's hands in his. He gulps in hopes that it'll make the lump in his throat go away, but it didn't.
Hawks take a sharp inhale and wipes his sweaty palms on his slacks, and moves to wipe his tears before taking Touya's hands in his a second time.
Touya rolls his eyes and takes back one hand to wipe Keigo's tears away, "stop being so dramatic," he says with a chuckle.
"It's a once in a lifetime thing, so fuck off," Keigo says and presses his cheek on Touya's hand.
The priest clears his throat, making Keigo and Touya turn their heads towards him. The priest had his eyes squinted at Keigo as he says, "we're in a church, no cussing," the priest reprimands.
Touya laughs while Keigo apologizes before clearing his throat and starting his vow, "Touya,"
"That's me," Touya interrupts just to annoy Keigo. The latter's brow visibly twitches, making the former smirk in victory.
"We know," Keigo says and clears his throat before continuing, "Touya, I don't know why I fell in love with you of all people,"
"You know it's easy to walk out of this church, and I'm not afraid of doing that," Touya interrupts a second time with his brow raised and arms crossed. Keigo chuckles and shakes his head as he says, "let me finish,"
"Careful with your words, birdie, we might just walk out of this church without a spouse," Touya threatens, but Keigo just rolls his eyes, unthreatened.
"If you just know how to shut your mouth and stop interrupting me, then you'd know what comes after that statement," Keigo says and releases a sigh before asking, "is your insufferable ass willing to listen now?"
Touya squints his eyes at Keigo before saying, "You're the insufferable one, but go on,"
"Thank you," Keigo says sarcastically before proceeding with his third attempt at saying his vows, "Like I said, I don't know why I fell in love with you, but I'm glad I did,"
Touya scoffs, "how cheesy," he says with a disappointed eye roll before adding, "I expected something more original,"
Keigo takes a sharp inhale and smacks Touya's shoulder, making the guests' eyes grow wide. The priest clears his throat, and Keigo apologizes while Touya sticks his tongue out at him.
"Just shut up for a while, will you?" Keigo asks, his voice laced with genuine annoyance that made Touya straighten his back and nod.
"Every day I spend with you always makes me want to stop time, so I can savor it. When we first started dating, I didn't know if you were serious or if you were just fucking with me," Keigo admits and avoids Touya's azure eyes in embarrassment, "I was scared that maybe you'll choose to leave me one day, but years have passed, and here we are, standing in front of the altar to promise that we'll spend the rest of our life together,"
Keigo's eyes wells with tears and he reaches for his handkerchief in his pocket, but before he could even do so, he can already feel Touya's palms cupping his face, "go on," Touya whispers in the softest tone he could, making Keigo smile.
"You kept interrupting me earlier, now you want to listen to me," Keigo says and leans into Touya's palms before continuing, "I can't wait to spend every waking hour with you, Touya. You don't know how happy I was when you got one knee and offered to give me a family by replacing my last name with yours. I'm grateful, I really am. Even if your family's dysfunctional, I'll gladly take your last name. Thank you for making me a Todoroki, Touya,"
Once Keigo finally finished saying his vow, he takes Touya's hands in his and slides a simple golden ring on Touya's ring finger.
Touya wipes the tears that escape Keigo's eyes before pulling him and pressing a kiss on his forehead, "you're welcome, crybaby," he whispers with Keigo still wrapped in his arms.
Keigo slaps Touya's chest, making the latter chuckle, "it's time for your vows, Todoroki-kun," the priest reminds.
The couple steps away from each other to let Touya say his vows. Touya clears his throat and pulls on the lapel of his suit before grinning at Keigo, "listen carefully pretty bird," he whispers.
Keigo rolls his eyes and makes a side comment, "cocky as ever," before motioning to zip his mouth.
"Here I go," Touya says, making Keigo and the rest of the guests' ears perk as they prepare to listen to Touya's vows.
"Welcome to the hellish Todoroki family, Keigo. Congratulations for getting in," Touya says and chuckles as he slides the golden ring on Keigo's ring finger.
Keigo's jaw drops, "that's it?" he asks in utter disbelief.
Touya nods, "that's it, birdie," he says, each word rolling out the tip of his tongue in a slow manner to get on Keigo's nerves.
"You can't be serious," Keigo says, but Touya just shows him a dismissive shrug before saying, "that's all you'll ever get from me, birdie,"
Keigo takes a sharp inhale to calm himself, "Fine, I'll take what I can get," he whispers and turns to the priest to say, "please tie me to him now before I leave him,"
Touya laughs, "you can't do that to me, birdie, you love me too much," he says, full of confidence.
"Right," the priest says, looking both confused and done with both of them, "I now pronounce you husbands. You may now kiss your groom,"
Touya takes a step towards Keigo and leans in to give the guests a show by making out with his husband. But instead of feeling a pair of soft lips on his, Touya feels his lips touch Keigo's palm.
"Your vow sucks, no kisses for you," Keigo says and moves himself to plant a quick kiss on Touya's cheek. The latter frowns and steps back before rolling his eyes, "it's time for the reception, I guess," he announces without hiding his disappointment.
Keigo puffs his cheeks, his lips were pouting, and he turns away when Touya looks at him, a sign that his husband is genuinely upset. Touya sighs and takes Keigo's hand to place a kiss on it. He keeps his eyes locked with Keigo's as he kisses his hand, "you'll understand why I did that later," he whispers and fills the spaces between Keigo's fingers.
Keigo stares at him with confusion before nodding. They turned to the guests with genuine smiles on their faces before walking out of the church. Everyone cheers, and they could hear the camera shutters as they walk towards their car.
Touya opens the door for Keigo, and the latter gets in while Touya walks to the other side of the car to get in the passenger.
They arrive at the reception, followed by their guests, stories were shared, and toasts were made until the sun was replaced by the moon and the stars. Keigo was having fun getting drunk with Rumi, Bubaigawara, Fuyumi, and Natsuo when Touya walked up to him and grabbed his arm as he leans in to whisper in Keigo's ear, "I need to talk to you in private,"
Keigo immediately sobers up from the tone of Touya's words. He was so profound that it made Keigo wonder if something was wrong. Keigo nods and says his goodbye before trailing behind Touya, who walked out of the resort.
Touya stops in front of the pool before turning towards Keigo with a serious expression on his face, "Keigo," he starts and takes a deep breath.
"What? You're making me anxious, Touya. If you have something to say, then just spit it out," Keigo says and rubs his hands together to calm himself.
Keigo stares at Touya with worry in his eyes as his brain spirals down, thinking that maybe Touya's regretting the marriage, maybe he wants to back out, but all of those thoughts were washed away when Touya cups his face and kisses the tip of his nose, "stop panicking,"
"Then stop making me panic," Keigo says and unconsciously pulls his wings closer to him.
"I asked you out here because I wanted to say my vow to you," Touya says, making Keigo furrow his brows and stare at him with questioning eyes.
"You already said it earlier," Keigo says in confusion.
Touya shakes his head and runs his thumb over Keigo's cheek, "That isn't my vow,"
"What?" Keigo asks and raises a brow, "then what is?"
"My vow is only meant for you to hear, Keigo. That's why I asked you to come here tonight. There's a side of me that only you get to witness, and I want it to stay that way. I want you to be the only person who hears me say something sappy. You're the only one who can see me vulnerable. That's why I never told my vows to you inside the church. All my sappiness is only reserved for you to hear and not for everyone else," Touya explains and takes something out of his pocket.
"Listen to me, Keigo," Touya starts and takes Keigo's hand in his, "I love you and your cocksure attitude, your self-sacrificial ass, your pretty ass, your sassy mouth, god, Keigo, I love everything about you, and I don't think I'll ever love anyone as much,"
"Touya," Keigo whispers, eyes glistening under the moonlight as the tears in his eyes well up.
"Let me talk," Touya says. Keigo nods and presses his lips into a thin line to stop the sob that's threatening to escape his lips.
"If I gave you a family, you gave something no one else, not even myself, could find on my own, which is the will to live. Keigo, I never knew what happiness and contentment were until I met you. That's why I'm so thankful that you're such a persistent piece of shit who didn't give up on me even though I pushed you away too many times," Touya says and wipes the blood that drips from his eyes, "I love you, Keigo, and I'm willing to burn the entire world just for you,"
Keigo sobs and raises one hand to wipe away Touya's tears before cupping his cheek, "you really had to insult me while saying those words, huh?"
"It was needed," Touya says and chuckles before slipping a different golden ring into Keigo's ring finger, right above the first ring.
"What's with the second ring?" Keigo asks and looks down at it, eyes scanning it.
"My promise to you is engraved inside that ring," Touya says and lifts Keigo's hand to kiss it, "make sure not to lose it, or I'll burn your wings,"
Keigo chuckles and wraps his arms around Touya's neck, "I love you, Touya," he whispers against Touya's lips.
"I love you too, Keigo," Touya whispers back, his hands finding their way to wrap themselves around Keigo's waist to pull him closer.
They both smile at each other, eyes both holding the intensity of their love for each other. Touya leans in, his lips capturing Keigo's in a soft and slow kiss.
That night, they both shared a kiss under the moonlight with golden binds wrapped around their ring fingers.
