   Summary

   He just has to be there and pretend to be happy. He just has to do so when he really feels like he's dying inside. How can one be happy when seeing the person you love getting married... and not to you?

   * * *

   Neil and Todd have been dating since they were teenagers back at Welton. They love each other truly and deeply, but the world they live in wouldn't ever allow them to show that, so, instead, they have to start forging a fake "normal" life, having girlfriends, getting engaged and married, getting a family... but not with each other as they desperately need to.
