AN: I know it is short. I'm sorry. I really am. It wasn't too late when Francis weaved through the legs of many seated individuals and some that were standing to sit by his wife in the front rows. She smiled and he grabbed her hand. Kissing her cheek and placing his hand on her abdomen momentarily. Ivan looked at them and smiled sadly. Well maybe if things continue the way they are, he won't be the only one who has no lover while upon the throne. Just like Arthur. Right?
Alfred quickly rolled his shoulders and ran both of his hands through his hair. "Shoot shoot shoot, I can't believe this is happening. Breathe, Alfred, Breathe. ". He pushed open the doors once the trumpets sounded. He walked majestic down the isle and kept a serious face. His cloak dragged along the petals and the grass. They were blue ones and the weather was perfect. Just the right amount of fluffy clouds and their clothes kept them at a good temperature. Upon reaching the little arched gazebo he stood and turned elegantly. Little boys had to help arrange his cloak behind him before running off. The High Jack opened up a large book. Then the piano music played. Though it wasn't here comes the bride. It was beautiful.
Arthur was breathing heavily and trying to calm himself down. Yao tried to soothe him. 'It's only political'. Arthur whispered to himself.
The doors opened and little toddlers would put white petals out on the path and then went to line up along sides, equidistant, from the gazebo. Alfred nearly stumbled on his breathing. His face was colored in a light shade of pink and he was glad that the people had turned to face Arthur and not him.
Arthur walked along the path, carrying the sword from earlier on his side either his hands on the hilt and the butt if it. His head was held high and he spotted his family. Curse his brothers for practically laughing at him. Peter did so as well. Well, they were only grinning and his elder brother and his wife had respect in them. Though Alistor still had a mocking air about him. Peter was making eyebrow signals by putting his fingers over his own. Then he looked to Alfred and before he knew it he had reached the alter and then turned to Alfred quickly.
Just like the coronation, the 'I do's were separate and long. Though Alfred couldn't really hear them. He looked to Sakura with the corner of his eye for a moment but didn't even feel a thing. His own heart jumped when he looked back at Arthur. Who, unfortunately, refused to look at him. Alfred grabbed Arthur's hands and turned to face him when he was instructed to, which was when his heart did leap.
"You okay?" He mouthed to Arthur and smoothed the pads of his thumbs over Arthur's knuckles. Arthur merely swallowed and held strong eye contact now. Repeating words subconsciously and agreeing when he needed to. He didn't even notice the ring bearer enter the scene. Alfred watched as Arthur's lips loved. Though his voice was muffled. Alfred squeezed Arthur's hands nervously and that almost made Arthur grunt out some of his words. What was going on? Alfred knew what was going on. He just didn't want to admit it. Shit. He was falling for Arthur Kirkland.
