Sesi: owwww I hurt everywhere. Sunburn on my arms and my legs and my chest and my nose and my back. I'm a piece of bacon! On a lighter note who else has been listening to the new character songs for Germany and Iggy on repeat? My favorite is Vowärts Marsch. I also enjoyed Lets enjoy today greatly. I rewrote this three times already. It's always the same stuff just in different order with different tones. Ah and sorry this took a while my dog injured his foot so I had to carry him up the stairs and got distracted by Tvtropes. Also I spent a long time at my uncles where he sometimes has Internet but he dosnt share with other very well. Lastly I figured you guys wanted a good well written chapter versus a shitty shorter one. This works for me though.
Arthur smiled as he watched his nervous American mate. They were in a questionable little shop with a questionable friend as well as her questionable fiancé. Overall a questionable situation if he wanted to turn it into a memetic mutation.
So why was it all questionable? They were in a sex shop buying things to go up Alfred's twin brothers ass. Or maybe Gilbert's. but Arthur didn't want to think of that and instead of thinking of buying for Matthew thoughts always turned to if he were to buy for Alfred. Alfred was very skittish of the bondage and bdsm area that was clearly labeled 21+ and Arthur laughed at his hesitation of going near the wall of pseudo cocks.
"Are you afraid, Alfred?" Arthur whispered in his ear making the younger shiver from the close approximation.
"What are you talking about? I'm a hero I'm not afraid of anything. However I don't understand how that thing can fit up anyone…" he said pointing to a particularly large cock on display for everybody to see. It was their crowning jewel obviously.
"Well you see Alfred when one is turned into a vampire their body is frozen forever in that state so it's not like your ass will ever maintain its stretch." Sura told him waltzing over to look at the cocks "now these look appetizing. What do you think Logan?" She asked her fiancé.
"I think we should get him a more normal one, dear." The warlock said putting his arms over her shoulders and taking his hands in hers. He stood over 6 feet and Alfred joked that he was his cousin because of how much he looked like Matthew. Just taller with green eyes.
"Hmmm I suppose you are right. Hey Al do you know if Mattie has any dildos already?" Sura asked.
Arthur felt a shudder through Alfred. "I don't know and I don't want to know." He whined.
"Alfred, do you want to go across the street to get something to eat?" Arthur asked.
"I suppose. Some McDonald's sounds good. Do you want some Arty?" Alfred asked as he started for the door.
"No I'm fine. Go eat something love" Arthur called back. As Alfred left he turned back to the wall.
"You wanna get a stick for his ass?" Sura asked him.
"Hmmm yes I do. I'm thinking something sparkly and some of that lube that's a cube and your body heats it up. I dunno the works." He told her. Sura spun out of Logan's arms her eyes alight in a type of fire he had only seen in a 'cubus eyes when talking about this sort of thing.
Sura walked away for he swore two minutes and came back with three types of lube, two egg shaped vibrators, a long sparkly glass dildo and a rubber gag. She smiled "Amy complained about noises from the other side of the yard. I can't believe they heard you from the house. I mean if you do it under that tree that the tie was hanging from then it's pretty hard for them to hear you. Unless you have a screamer" her smile becoming devilish. Arthur smiled. They had been pretty loud.
"You sure you are not part succubus?" He asked.
Logan laughed and shook his head "she is my little spirit and she is only a snow spirit. So you have an easier time buying for Alfred but not for Matthew?" He asked her.
"Well Alfred is not getting married, it's harder to kill him and he is more daring than Matthew." Sura explained. Logan nodded. Arthur smiled. Matthew seemed like such a delicate thing. He heard about his hockey feats though and he knew it was quite the opposite. He was surprised to learn of the twins feats in their school days, top of the class students, Alfred was a football star, played lacrosse, baseball, and dabbled in soccer. Matthew played hockey and he apparently played baseball. Arthur was waiting to see a game between the twins as of right now.
"Lord Kirkland? Do these have your approval?" Sura smirked.
"Oh more than that. Thank you dearie." Arthur grinned thinking of the fun he and Alfred would be having.
"So which do you think Matthew would like?" Sura asked again.
Arthur was stuck on baby duty with Amaranth to help Matthew prepare for his big dinner that night. They were having the rehearsal dinner in just a few hours and Matthew sat there as a nervous wreck. Alfred had gone downstairs to make his brother some camomile and lavender tea to help calm his nerves.
Gilbert's father had been in town for a couple hours and the two Germanic brothers were busy with him speaking in rapid German giving Arthur a headache. Arthur learned German, or something very close to it, very long ago and it was from the lack of use he forgot it. It's just so much easier speaking in modern English. Or just English in general. He had greatly enjoyed English of Victorias reign as well as England.
"I've got your tea." Alfred said coming into the room using his nicely toned ass to open the door. He really only bumped it but Arthur wanted to do much more with his ass. And he still had yet to even tell Alfred about the toys…
"Thank you Al. God I haven't met Gilbert's father yet. What am I going to do? What if I make a complete idiot of myself?" Matthew groaned.
Amaranth leaned back in her chair. "It felt like that when I met your fathers parents. You arnt the only one Matthew. Think of how poor Arthur felt meeting me? And your dad will be here in town in about an hour as well" Amaranth said. Arthur noticed her anxious stance even if it was hidden by her usual nonchalance she had for everything.
Arthur had nodded what she said about him meeting her. "I was indeed anxious to meet this lovely woman right here. I can also say I wished to have met her in different circumstances as well" Arthur said leaning back in his chair. Alfred stood behind him placing his hands on Arthur's shoulders and smiling
"Yeah but ma would have killed me if I didn't bring you home to meet her. I think you're just over thinking this Mattie. Gilbert loves you and Ludwig seems to be okay with you as well so you already have that going for you" Alfred consoled his twin. "Also you don't need to worry because you'll be fine. You needed to be pretty awesome in order for Gilbert to like you so much"
"You think Al?" Matthew asked hopefully.
Arthur looked up to the sweet American boy "of course Mattie. Now lets get you ready. Dad will be here soon an you have that fancy dinner" Alfred smiled.
Arthur absolutely loved his smile at moments like this.
Arthur stood in the hallway with Alfred outside of Matthews bedroom. "Arty come on I won't be any trouble later. You know I've got this under control" Alfred whined.
"That's what I'm worried about. Just take an hour and feed. I can help Matthew get ready" Arthur sighed exasperated. "Plus you need to go pick up Sura and Logan."
Alfred continued pouting adorably "fine. I will go." He spat going downstairs. Arthur watched him stomping away noticing his ass swaying. Hate to see him go but love his ass when he's angry.
Arthur slipped into Matthews bedroom to see him pulling his nice white trousers. "Oh. Sorry. I will leave you" Arthur said hurriedly leaving the room.
"Oh no. It's fine. I'm sort of decent" he said slipping the ivory silk shirt over his head. Arthur went over to help him out by tucking it in the back.
"I have some experience with weddings. Would you like some help getting ready? I had to send Alfred into town to pick some people up" Arthur said kindly.
"Thank you very much Arthur. I accept your help." He smiled. He really does seem like a more delicate version of Alfred. There were differences of course. And as Arthur had been able to meet their father last night he learned where the differences come from.
"Are you excited Matthew?" Arthur asked to fill the awkward silence. He handed the cream colored vest to Matthew before grabbing the box of shoes at the foot of his bed.
"Yeah. I know I am a little you know considering im not even old enough to drink yet. But I think I really do love Gilbert" Matthew blushed.
"I'm glad you found love so early in life then. There are many people that spend their whole lives searching for it. Besides the drinking part is all relative. If you look at drinking ages around the world you will find its not really so old. America is one of the few places with one above 20" Arthur said tightening the strap on the back of the cream vest. He grabbed the nice white loafers out of the box.
"I'm glad Alfred has you. You make him seem more alive" Matthew told him while sitting down an pulling his silk socks on.
"You think? I'm glad you think so. I'm glad I got to meet him. I plan to spend as long as I possibly can with him." Arthur getting the suit jacket top. It was cut like any old suit jacket just very white and had a long trailing silk bow on the back. Probably to mimic a brides dress. Looking closely Arthur noticed it even was trimmed with lace. Hanging on the hanger was a a nice cream colored ribbon.
"What's the ribbon for?" Arthur asked handing it to Matthew.
"It's my bow. Hand it here please" Matthew asked holding his hand out. Arthur placed it there and Matthew tied it in a perfect bow around his neck.
Arthur held the jacket open "here slip your arms in" he commanded. Nicely of course. He could be nice.
"Thank you for your help Arthur. So why exactly was Alfred missing for a year?" Matthew asked. He slipped the jacket in and Arthur smoothed out the wrinkles from Matthew putting it
"I really wish I could tell you the truth Matthew. I can't though. Would you like for me to give a lie close to the truth at least?" Arthur asked.
"I suppose a lie close to the truth is all I will ever get." Matthew sighed. "I'll take the lie I suppose"
Arthur contemplated it. It's harder to lie than tell the truth sometimes. So Arthur decided to tell the truth. "Alfred was captured by werewolves but I rescued him and turned him into a vampire. Alfred had to train to not bite everybody he sees. Which is why he couldn't contact you or leave" Arthur smiled devilishly. Matthew stared at him open mouthed. "I need to do some make up on your face." Arthur stated.
"Wh-what?!" Matthew shouted. "You're kidding right? Where can I find the truth in that? There is no such thing as vampires and werewolves"
"I told you. I had to lie. It's harder to lie than it is to tell the truth you know. Now the make up." Arthur said looking around to see if Matthew had some in his room.
"I don't wear make up. Mom does though. Go ask her for some" Matthew said. Arthur grunted leaving the bedroom.
He tracked down the bathroom to find Amy smoking a cigarette in it. Arthur wrinkled his nose in disgust at the smell.
"Hello there Arthur!" She cheerfully greeted.
"I did not know you smoked" Arthur commented dryly.
"I don't actually. I filched it from Gilbert. I got a couple more if you want one" she offered pulling out a pack.
"No I am quite fine staying away from those cancer sticks. Which is a very good reason you should stay away from them" he scolded.
"True" she smiled putting the one she was smoking in the toilet. "However I do not think one will kill me. So what are you in here for?" She asked.
"I need your makeup. Well Matthew does at any rate." Arthur replied. Amy handed him her make up bag.
"Don't forget that he's a boy. Even if he is in a relationship with another boy and tends to act feminine. Meaning don't get too crazy" she warned and then giggled. "Hmmm" she breathed before leaving the bathroom.
Arthur entered Matthews room to find Alfred had returned and sura was brushing Matthews hair.
"Arthur what do you think we should do about his hair? We can't just leave it down" Sura asked.
"Hand me the brush. I can fix it" Alfred offered. Sura held it tightly.
"I remember some unfortunate barbies I used to have that managed to make their way into your hands. In other words paws off Mattie's hair" she sweetly smiled. A chill ran down Arthur's spine about what she could do.
"Hand me that brush. I have a few tricks up my sleeve about hair" he said taking the brush from Sura's hands and started pulling Matthews hair back. He pulled the back of his hair into a ponytail allowing for some locks to freely frame his face as well as that obstinate curl he had. He glanced at the overall look and reached over to the vase and plucked a few flowers out of it. Arthur taped around the stems of the flowers to prevent their juices from getting all over Matthews head. He stuck the bouquet in to the ponytail.
"Ooh Arthur that's a lovely idea. And his makeup is all done" Sura said taking a few steps back.
Matthew admired his hair. "Thank you Arthur"
Arthur slipped into his seat on Matthews side of the aisle. They were situated in Amaranths backyard. A lot of aunts, uncles, cousins and a good chunk of the town sat behind him. On Gilbert's side there was a smaller amount of people and he noticed that there was a witch and a warlock on that side as well. His side came mostly from Europe.
Alfred smiled from his place. Ludwig stood tall and stoic as he normally seemed from what Arthur had seen.
Music began playing from one of Alfred's cousin who plays an organ for a church began the usual marriage music. Everybody straightened up. Gilbert walked down the aisle flashing his cocky grin to everybody and soon Matthew and Aaron started walking down the aisle followed by Feliciano.
Arthur could see where Alfred and Matthew got their looks from. Matthew tended to take after Aaron with more of Amaranths hair tone. Alfred favors his mothers looks like more of Aaron's build and looks. Two attractive people made two attractive kids.
That being said Matthew smiled happily as he and his father walked down the aisle of plastic chair with Feliciano smiling and tossing flower petals on the ground.
They got to the end and Aaron placed a tiny kiss on Matthews forehead and took his seat next to Arthur. Feliciano went and sat next to Emeric on the other side happily swinging his legs back and forth under his chair.
The officiant cleared his voice. "Dearly beloved, we are assembled here in the presence of family and friends to celebrate the joining of these men in the unity of marriage. There are no obligations on earth sweeter or tender than those you are about to assume. There are no vows more solemn than those you are about to make. There is no human institution more sacred than that of the home you are about to form. True marriage is the holiest of all earthly relationships. The state of matrimony is based in this deep, invisible union of two souls who seek to find completion in one another. Do you understand?" He asked of the couple standing up there.
Matthew managed to squeak out a yes as Gilbert nodded his head quickly.
"Now I believe you have some vows prepared" the officiant smiled.
Gilbert nodded once more and took a pale green sheet of paper from his black suit jacket "When we first met, neither of us would have guessed that through time our friendship would grow so strong. Somewhere in the laughter grew a love like none I have ever imagined. Today, in the presence of our friends and family, I give to you the key to my heart. You have long held it in your hands, but Today, I announce it to the world. My intent cannot be forever, we have no concept of the vastness of that word, I promise you only that as long as I am able I will love you. I will honor you, and support you. If you walk into disaster, it is I who will be with you, crying along side you, finding strength with you, finding joy in you." He said strongly. Arthur noticed some tears started glistening in Alfred's eyes. Gilbert then took a ring out of his pocket and placed it on Matthews ring finger.
Matthew took a sheet of paper from his suit jacket as well, shaking it to rid the creases, "I will face life's journey with you, living, learning, growing. This I promise. I will be with you until there is no more to explore. I will love you till I have memorized every shadow of the dawn, every shade of color in the sunset... I will not promise you till death do us part, for I know that the love I have can not fade with deaths bitter parting, nor can the memories we set out to create together so quickly be torn from my heart. I simply promise to love you for as long as I am able. Yesterday, tomorrow, and Today." He finished a little weakly but Arthur did have to admit it almost seemed like he shouted through the whole thing. Alfred handed him a ring that he then placed on Gilbert's finger.
"By the power vested in me and the state of Virginia I now pronounce these men married. You may now kiss" the officiant said backing up. Arthur grinned as Matthew flung his arms around Gilbert who pulled him to his body so they could share their first kiss as a married couple.
Sesi: that's all for now. I have my hiatuses (or at this point one hiatus. Idk yet) planned the second one being for about a month because I am going down to Vegas to visit my mom dad and younger brother for two weeks (also to celebrate my good grades and my sisters 21 bday) and then I will be going on my annual trip to a fishing town on the Kenai peninsula so that I can stock up on fish and tune into nature. This starts on the 3 of July and the only chance I get to write for three-four weeks after that is slim to none. I leave my electronics at home when I go to the fishing place. I say this all now because its rapidly approaching.
Nobody reviewed my last chapter. What's wrong with you guys?! It was amazing! Maybe that's why I didn't feel the priority to complete this one. Yeah I got favorites and followers but I love reviews. They are my life blood. So in the end the bottom line is: review. I have other things in my life that I do but if you have the time to read this and to hit that favorite/follow button then you have time enough to drop a couple words in that fabulous box at the bottom (or the next screen if you work off an iPod/iPad/iPhone like I do) then it gives me a different view on my priorities list.
Last thing to say the research for this chapter was exhausting. I didn't want a religious ceremony considering that this is a gay marriage which is apparently frowned upon by god (I wouldn't know this for sure I don't go to church, I am not religious, I do not want to be religious) so I sort of winged it at some points and went on memory from my moms two weddings I've been in. One was in Vegas (at a hotel 8 years ago. That marriage barely lasted a year) the other at a biker club house (she is still happily married to him for 5-6 years and they live in Vegas with my younger brother.) I also borrowed some knowledge from my sister who has a fiancé and from my own research for my wedding I plan to have with the lovely Siku. She is not officially my wife yet but we are engaged and will be married as soon as Alaska makes it legal or we obtain visas and move to Canada. Canada seems to have his shit together. I refuse to move down south again. That nearly killed me.
Wow I rambled. Well review please! I will start begging!
