A three-day holiday. They'd told everyone at the precinct that they were going to chill together.
But not quite – because here they were. NYC's Clerk's Office. Kevin held his partners hand, Javier tracing patterns into his skin with his thumb – a nervous habit. The man standing in front of them, almost jokingly, finished the ceremony with "You may now kiss the groom."
Javier smiled, placed his hands either side of Kevin's face, wiping stray tears of joy as he did so, and leant towards his husband.
"Love you, Kev," he said, just before their first kiss as a married couple.
Dedicated to LIGHTNSHADOWS, whose idea this was. First in a mini-series of about three drabbles.
By the way, congrats to NYC for doing the right thing :D
