AN: And I am back! Guys, before you start reading this final chapter, I need to say this. Thank-you all so much for supporting me throughout this story. I know that some of you may be thinking "What people are you talking about supporting the story. He is obviously making it up." While it is true that I only have 10 favorites and 14 follows, I have over 3,000 views on this story... yeah. Honestly, I didn't even expect to see 20 views, so when I got over 40 views by the second day, I was very shocked. I'm getting teary-eyed just from thinking about such a massive number. Anyways, all of these views, comments, favorites, and follows gave me an overwhelming amount of motivation to finish this story, so without further adue, here's is the final chapter of "To Fix a Broken Wolf." Enjoy!
"Fox, hold still... almost got it... Finished!"
Wolf stood back and took in the sight of his soon-to-be husband. Fox was wearing a white tuxedo with white pants and sported a green tie that Wolf had just finished tying. Wolf decided to wear the opposite: a black tuxedo with black pants and a purple tie. Fox smiled warmly at Wolf.
"Thanks, love." Wolf smiled back.
"Of course! You need to look good for our big day."
"Yeah, our big day." Fox stared blankly into the distance in deep thought when he noticed that Wolf's hand was trembling slightly. He looked up and saw that the lupine had a strange look on his face. He grabbed the lupine's hand.
"Wolf, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing." Fox stared intensely at the lupine.
"Alright, I'm just... nervous. You remember how that asshole from Primas reacted once he found out that we were dating. What if your friends do the same thing? I don't want your friends to hate you. I'm not important enough to-" Wolf was interrupted by Fox grabbing him hastily by his collar and crashing their lips together. Fox let go of the stunned lupine and looked at him seriously.
"First of all, don't you ever say that you aren't important." His gaze softened. "You're the most important person to me in the whole universe, and don't forget it. Secondly, if my friends have any problems with who I love, then they can leave because they are no longer my friend. I won't stand for any friend of mine to hate the person I love most."
Tears formed in Wolf's eyes as he processed what Fox had just told him. He hugged the vulpine tightly as said vulpine returned the embrace and rubbed his back soothingly. Wolf separated from his lover and wiped the remnants of tears from his eye.
"Damnit, I'm already getting emotional, and we haven't even said our vows." Fox laughed.
"C'mon, how about we go visit with the guests?" Wolf nodded as he followed Fox out of the white tent.
The couple had eventually decided to hold their wedding on the outskirts of the city in a large green field with a beautiful blue lake in the background. Just past that was a cliff that gave a view to the ocean, allowing for a spectacular view of the sunset that would be appearing shortly. Off to the right was medium sized home, their new home. Several white tents were scattered across the landscape to accommodate the guests.
Fox and Wolf walked through the clusters of friends, coworkers, and even military personnel until Fox found who he was looking for and smiled. Sitting at a table near a tree 10 meters away was the entire ex-Star Fox team. Fox quickly ran over behind them.
"Hey, guys!" His old team quickly turned around and upon seeing who it was, jumped out of their seats and gathered around Fox. Falco was the first to speak.
"Hey, buddy! Finally getting married I see. I think you're both perfect for each other."
"Thanks, Falco. I appreciate that." Krystal spoke next.
"Hello there, Fox. Congratulations on getting married. I hope you two have a wonderful life together, like Panther and I."
"Thanks, Krystal. I know I will. We both love each other very much." Finally, it was Slippy's turn to speak.
"How've you been, Fox? So when are we going to meet this lucky girl?" Fox opened his mouth to correct him, but Falco beat him to it.
"You mean his lucky guy." Silence spread throughout the group. Finally, Slippy decided to speak.
"G-guy? Who is it!?" Once again, Fox opened his mouth to answer, but his question was already answered from the sound of two gasps and a warm pair of arms wrapping around him.
"I caught'ya," Wolf said rather enthusiastically.
"I guess you did. Maybe you deserve a prize," Fox slyly said. Wolf grinned and spun him around, placing a gentle kiss on his lips. No one dared to say anything to the couple until finally, Slippy broke the silence.
"What. The. Fuck." Fox turned around and rose his eyebrow at the toad, who had a look of disgust and disbelief written across his face. He'd barely ever heard the toad curse, much less say 'fuck.'
"Excuse me?"
"What the fuck are you doing with this...thing?! Have you forgotten all the shit he's pulled on us? How the fuck can you just forgive him and suck his dick?!" Now Fox was getting angry.
"First off, he is not a thing; he is a person. He has a name, and you will use it. Second off, how the hell do you know what we do in our own time?" Slippy scoffed.
"Please, all fags do that kind of shit!" Slippy shouted. A dead silence washed through the crowd as their attention was drawn to the argument.
Fox tightened his fist. He wanted to light into the toad, but he was better than that. "So what if I've sucked his dick? It's not like it involves you."
"What's wrong with you?! It's fucking disgusting! What's worse is that you're marrying that piece of shit that should be dead! If it were up to me, I would have already shot him! He deserves nothing short of a long and painful death, and I don't see how anyone could possibly love him given how fucked up he is!"
Fox was furious, but as soon as he saw Wolf, something inside him snapped. The lupine's head was looking down at the ground, his ears were completely pinned against his head, and tears freely dripped off his face. Fox could take people talking about him. He could restrain himself when people talked about Wolf, even if he felt like hurting them, but making Wolf cry? He would beat the shit out of anyone who did that.
Fox grabbed the toad and slammed him into the treed by his collar.
"LISTEN HERE YOU SLIMY LITTLE BASTARD!" Fox roared. "YOU DON'T KNOW HOW FUCKING BADLY I WANT TO KILL YOU RIGHT NOW FOR MAKING MY WOLF CRY! AND DON'T YOU SAY ONE FUCKING WORD, OR SO HELP ME GOD, I WILL BREAK YOUR JAW, GOT IT?!" Slippy only looked at him with a look of horror and anger on his face. Fox continued to yell at him.
"I'll have you know; Wolf is by far the sweetest person I have ever met! He is infinitely better than you in every way, so you have no room to talk! I'll admit, I've sucked his dick many times, about as many times as he has sucked mine, but that doesn't matter! If Wolf were a woman, I would still marry him! I picked Wolf for who he was, not for his gender!" Fox let go of Slippy, who hit the ground with a thud. "Now get the hell out of my wedding!" Slippy stood up and walked away silently, but Fox had one more thing to say.
"And don't you think for a second that we will ever be friends again!" Fox could've sworn he head the toad say "It's not like I want to be friends with a fag anyway," but he didn't care at the moment. He quickly ran to Wolf who was being consoled by Mr. Manning. He bent down and hugged the lupine tightly.
"Hey there, I'm so sorry that had to happen. If I had known Slippy would've done that, I wouldn't have asked Peppy to invite him.
"I'm sorry. I ruined one of your long-time friendships." Fox separated from him.
"Love, please look at me." Wolf rose his head to reveal an eye already starting to become bloodshot. Fox continued and smiled at him.
"Like I said earlier, if a friend can't accept me for who I am, then they don't deserve to be my friend at all. Quite frankly, if it weren't our wedding, I would've beaten the living daylights out of him." Wolf smiled a bit at this.
"There's my Wuff's smile. C'mon, how about we get this wedding started?"
"Yeah, I'd like that." Fox embraced Wolf and kissed him, eliciting wild applause from everyone around them.

After a thirty minute break, the marriage was ready to begin, with Fox and Wolf walking down the aisle of chairs holding hands. Once the reached the end, they turned to face each other in front of the priest.
"Today we are called here to see the joining of two souls into one. The vows may now be said." Fox was the first to go.
"Wolf, six months ago, I found you on my doorstep. That was when I could truly say that my feelings for you erupted. However, I can safely say that I had always seemed to like you. When I was in my Arwing, and you were in your Wolfen, you always seemed to hold back against me. At first, I thought it was your way of saying that you were better than me, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized that you seemed to care for me. After our first kiss, I knew immediately that I wanted to be with you for the rest of my life. Whether it be your looks or your personality, I love absolutely everything about you. Wolf O'Donnell, I want to spend the rest of my life with you."
By the end of his speech, the crowd was in awe, and Wolf was getting teary-eyed. The lupine cleared his voice, wiped his eye, and began his vow.
"When I first escaped my captor, I was in absolute agony, both physically and mentally. I ran for what felt like an eternity before finding myself in an alley beside a puddle with powerlines sticking into it. I was going to jump end, killing myself, but before I could, your face appeared in my mind, making me hesitate. I then saw the outline of a fox, James. He guided me through the dark streets before disappearing at someone's front door. I knocked on the door, and well, you know the rest. When you first found me, I was shattered. However, as time moved on, you put the pieces back together again, fixing this broken wolf. For that, I was forever in your debt. However, as time moved on, I began to have strong feelings towards you, feelings that I have never felt towards anyone except for my mother. That feeling was love. That was when I knew I had fallen head over heels for you, and you were perfect for me. Now, I am completely sure that I want to spend the rest of my life with you. You are nice, caring, good-looking, and most importantly, the perfect fox for me. Fox McCloud, I want us to be together for the rest of our lives."
Now it was Fox's turn to be shocked. He never knew that Wolf had planned to kill himself before meeting him. Fox was more shocked by the fact that the lupine had seen his father.
"Guess my old man is still with me, even after all these years. Guess I'll have to thank him for that when I see him next."
The priest continued.
"Are there any objections to this marriage?" No one said a word. Once again, the priest continued. "Then by the power invested in me, I hereby pronounce you husbands. You may now kiss one another."
Fox wrapped his arms around Wolf's neck and pulled him into a deep and passionate kiss, roars of applause and approval permeating throughout the air. Fox looked behind Wolf to see the ethereal outline of his father nodding his head in approval. The older fox waved his hand at him and slowly disappeared into the air, finally able to move on seeing his son get married. The newly-wedded couple separated and grinned at each other. Wolf was the first to speak.
"So... what do you say we do something a bit more... exciting later tonight?" Wolf slyly asked.
"If you think that my answer is yes, then you are absolutely one hundred percent correct." Wolf gleamed and hugged him tightly.

Fox and Wolf could be found lying in their bed with the lupine spooning the smaller vulpine.
"Hey, Fox?"
"Yeah?"
"I love you." Fox smiled and drew the lupine's arms tighter around himself.
"I love you too."
That night, Fox dreamed of being back with his old crew, but the main exception being Wolf in Slippy's place and Slippy being the leader of Star Toad, the team hired by Andross. While he missed being able to see his friends daily, and he missed gliding through space in the Great Fox, he had Wolf now. Every day, he would get to see his lover, and that was much better than seeing his friends. Fox began to wake up and felt Wolf still holding him. He smiled.
"I wouldn't have it any other way."
AN: And that's a wrap! I honestly have tears in my eyes from finishing this story. This is one of the few things that I am overwhelmingly proud of and just thinking about the fact that I did this gives me shivers. Anyways, once again, I want to thank all of my supporters and I will hopefully see you in my next story!
