I attempted to post the URL of the image that inspired this story, but alas, it was butchered in the process and I, the author, was too lazy to amend things. I shall try again.
I was inspired to write this by an image on Deviantart titled 'Evening Gov' by Seisei .http:// seisei . /art/Evenin-guv-83522866. Minus the spaces. You all know what a URL ought to look like.
Since I intended for this to be only a one-shot (and I think it might still be labeled as such) I feel comfortable in admitting I have no idea where this story is going. It's kind of writing itself right now. Deal with it… I guess I'll keep going until people get tired of it or get too offended by some plot twist I chose.
I'm here Govna'
I can't believe I am sitting in a tree watching this. Well, actually I can but could I have predicted this? Not in a million years. Who would have thought some rich bozo would like my ass so much he'd bribe me to crash his wedding? He looked stiff up there, holding her hands as vows were passed. She was beaming, her eyes were glowing. He looked as gruff as normal. The sun shown in his face so it helped create some false glow of love. I could read some lips and get the gist of where we were in the ceremony. We were almost done here, thank the gods. Wedding ceremonies for nobles take a business week, I tell ya.
We'd gotten through the prayers, the singing, the candles, the prayers again… I took a catnap somewhere in there to pass the time. I learned to sleep lightly in my early years and I kept myself a comfortable distance away from the gathering, hopefully the forest ambiance could block out any noise I made by mistake. So far all it was doing was blocking out the ceremony to my ears, which was a plus.
I had secured myself in the branches of a tall elm, perfect for watching where everyone was, plus it was behind the whole ceremony. No one would probably come here, except for my ward that is.
I waited until the whole thing was over. All the tears were shed and the cheering had faded. Then the inevitable kiss and afterward we can unleash the booze. I hoped I could sneak in and grab a pint at least. Something to fill my flask for the honeymoon. Oh here it came, the last words, the kiss and we're done. Oh she's beaming. Yuy looks like he's eaten some sour grapes. When the priest bowed his head and he stepped forward to kiss his bride… I about laughed. I could see him cringing from here. I wonder what the crowd thought of that. Shiver of joy? Nervous twitch? It all ended rather quickly. The audience swarmed around the bride, carting her off and severing her from her new husband. Yuy made no effort to wait, of course. Not a drop of patience in him. He came directly to my tree, not looking up once. I started to head down, smiling at his cleverness, for what reason I cannot say.
"No, stay there. I'm coming up." He took off his white blazer and threw it over his shoulder. He was up the tree in seconds. The blazer was tossed over a branch as he pushed me back, against the fork in the limbs. "Turn around." I did as I was told. He made quick work of my clothes. I wrapped my arms around the tree limb I was draped belly down over. It was a position I had never thought of, I could see the whole field. The entire wedding party gathered in a tight knot over by the tables on the other side. How silly, I thought, that they all crowd around in such a tight grouping when there is a whole field to play with. No one seemed to be looking for him so I laid my head down and let him to his business.
He was inside me when I heard her voice. A soft woman's giggle. It was coming closer. The muscles in my back tensed and I rose up onto my elbows. Pink chiffon and silks swirled under the branches were we were hiding. It was that little blonde angel from the bridal entourage. She was laughing as she beckoned one of the groomsmen to her. He was grinning as he joined her in the bushes against the base of our tree. Their giggling mingled with Heero's quiet breathing. Their sin meshed with ours. I laid my head back down on the bark again. Sin seems to be my comfort zone.
They were so damn noisy, I quickly found out. Heero was much more professional. Hell I could practically sleep to the sound of his breathing. Yuy paid them no mind and I paid Yuy no mind so I focused on her harsh shrilly whispers, his grunts of approval and the whole shaking of the bush community below us. If they were going for conspicuous I guess they got it down pat, however no one from the wedding party seemed to notice, or at least they didn't show it. I wondered how hard I would have to try to blend in on the mission I was about to undertake.
I heard tinkling as he fastened his belt back together. I hadn't even realized he was done. I must have really been gone for a while there. He finishes redressing and lunges forward, pinning me to the branch, his mouth connects with my neck for an instant and he is gone. Cool air hits my back as he flies off of me.
I groaned "Yuy, what the hell was that for?"
"I felt like it." Then he was gone. I didn't even see him shimmy down the trunk, only suddenly appear in sight below me. He headed back to the crowd, which welcomed him warmly. He made an excuse about having to use the 'facilities' of the forest. They took it without question. His bride seemed relieved to have him back at her side, but for one moment… she panned the forest. She didn't see me but considering her background I figured I was already found out.
This was going to be truly interesting…
