Work Text:
During spring, Alex and Willie used to sit under trees all afternoon just to talk and spend some time together. One day, while Alex was braiding Willie's hair, a question popped into his head.
"Willie, honey…" he said to call his boyfriend's attention.
"Yeah, hot dog?"
"You never told me your last name, how am I supposed to fantasize about our wedding if you don't tell me your last name?"
"Fantasize about our wedding?" Willie asked, laughing.
"Julie told me that same sex marriage is legal now so we can get married… it's not like we could actually get married because we're, you know, dead, but if we were alive we could"
"No, yeah, I know that, I just thought it was cute that you fantasize about our wedding" the skater explained, turning around to kiss Alex's cheek "Tell me more about our wedding"
"Noup, not until you tell me your last name… and your family… and basically all about you" he said worried, realizing that he had been dating Willie for six months already and he didn't know anything about him.
"I wish I could but I have no idea of who I was before the accident, I was lucky enough to remember my own name"
They remained in silence until Alex finished doing the braids. Willie admired the small part of the braids that he could see while his boyfriend pulled him closer to give him a hug. Alex hated talking about his past, and Willie didn't have anything to talk about so they just stayed there in silence, enjoying each other's company. The drummer kept himself busy giving Willie sweet little kisses, sometimes making the kiss longer or biting his lip to keep him awake.
"Amor, how do you imagine our wedding?"
"It could be in the beach, nothing fancy or big, just our close friends would be there and it would be at night"
"I love that idea, I can't wait to be Mr. Mercer"
'Mr. Mercer. That's it!' Alex thought. He could give his last name to Willie.
"Honey, do you want to be William Mercer?"
"Someday, maybe"
"No, I mean, right now" Willie looked at Alex confused. "You don't remember your last name but I remember mine, and you're my boyfriend so… Do you wanna be William Mercer? We don't have to get married, we could just share my last name"
"William Mercer" Willie said out loud "Alexander and William Mercer… yeah, I like that, I can be a Mercer"
