One Step Closer
Summary: Weddings are a time of colors and promises. Doubts fade and time stands still. It's a time to be brave for every breath was taken for this moment. They've loved each other for a thousand years, and will for a thousand more.
Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone
All my doubt suddenly goes away somehow
...
Kaelyn clutched her bouquet tightly. Nerves high and breath shaky. She started to wonder if she could do this.
Just as she thought about bolting the wedding march started playing. One by one her best friends and bridesmaids walked down the aisle, and then it was her turn. Colors and promises echo through her mind.
She closed her eyes and let her father guide her. He squeezed her hand as they entered the wedding hall, and she opened her eyes again.
She caught the gaze of the man at the end of the aisle and suddenly all her doubts and fears faded away.
Love filled her entire being as she took one step closer.
...
I have died every day waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I love you for a thousand more
...
Time stands still
Beauty is all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this
...
Laxus fidgeted with his sleeve cuffs nervously. His grandfather, who as guild master was the one marrying them, cleared his throat pointedly. Laxus stopped, and keeping his eyes on the ground, took a deep breath.
The wedding march then began to play. He looked up just as she entered the wedding hall. Their eyes met and suddenly time seemed to have slowed to a stop.
She was beauty itself, and he swore then and there that he would never let her go. The struggles and hardships to get here had all been worth it.
His entire being filled with love as she took one step closer.
...
I have died every day waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I love you for a thousand more
...
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I love you for a thousand more
...
Kaelyn reached out her hand and took one step closer.
Laxus grasped her hand as she took one step closer.
Hands clasped, they faced each other.
"Dearly beloved we are gathered here today to witness the union of Laxus Dreyar and Kaelyn Dragmire." Makarov started, eyes starting to shine with unwashed tears. "Laxus, your vows."
"Kaelyn, I have died every day waiting for you. Darling don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years. I'll love you for a thousand more."
"Kaelyn, your vows."
"Laxus, and all along I believed I would find you. Time has brought your heart to me. I have loved you for a thousand years. I'll love you for a thousand more."
"Laxus, do you take Kaelyn Dragmire to be your wife as long as you both shall live?" Makarov asked
"I do." He promised.
"Kaelyn, do you take Laxus Dreyar to be your husband as long as you both shall live?" Makarov asked.
"I do." Kaelyn promised.
"Then I now pronounce you husband and wife! Go on, brat, kiss your bride!" Makarov cheered.
Kaelyn and Laxus laughed joyfully and kissed sweetly.
Their friends and family and guildmates corrupted into cheers and hollers.
I'll love you for a thousand more
The End
