Hey everyone! Today's prompt is falling in love with each other. Enjoy!
She's gorgeous, Jay feels. She's smiling at him, and he's shaking so hard. He wonders if he'll make it through the vows without slipping up. He regrets nothing, of course. He loves her. But as they stand at the altar, he finds himself falling even harder for her.
Nya takes his hands in hers, squeezing them reassuringly. This is all they've ever wanted. The preacher takes them through the vows. It all slows down yet flies by at the same time. Love is funny like that, making moments into something more.
It's the reception. The guys, Pixal, and Skylor give their speeches.
Then, Wu stands up. He knows it's not tradition, since he's not part of the wedding party, but when he'd asked Jay and Nya if he could, they'd been overjoyed.
He clears his throat, "Jay and Nya have been my students for several years now. I've known both of them since before they started dating, and I've been so blessed to see them grow as people and as a couple. And, like every other couple, they've had their problems, but they worked together through them. They're going to go far. As Jay and Nya know, over the years, I've always expressed to the ninja the importance of teamwork. I'd say it's safe to say that these two really took those lessons to heart. Jay, Nya, you two are a team now. I'm rooting for you two. Good luck in the rest of your lives."
The guests all began to applaud. Jay and Nya (both crying) ran up to hug him. Then, it's time for their first dance together as a married couple. They make their way to the dance floor, as their friends and family gather around them. The royal blacksmiths, who'd agreed to be a live band for the night, began to play.
"Wise men say only fools rush in. But I can't help falling in love with you."
Jay and Nya take each other's hands and begin to sway to the rhythm.
"Shall I stay? Would it be a sin, if I can't help falling in love with you?"
"Jay?" Nya asks.
"Yeah?"
"I love you. I'm so happy for us right now."
"Like a river flows, surely to the sea. Darling so it goes, some things are meant to be."
"I am too," Jay smiles, "Look how far we've come. It feels like it was just yesterday we met for the first time. You were behind your brother on the fire dragon..."
"And you couldn't talk!" Nya finished, "Funny, since I don't think I've ever heard you that quite since then. You know, I knew it then we'd end up together."
"I know. You've told me. Funny, I guess some things really are meant to be."
"Yeah," Nya grinned.
"Take my hand, take my whole life too. 'Cause I can't help falling in love with you."
Nya squeezed Jay's hand and smiled at him. He might as well have taken her whole life. All her childhood, she'd never imagined falling for anybody the way she'd fallen for Jay. She'd made fun of romantic books and movies her entire youth. But this was real. She loved Jay. She never regretted taking his hand that day on the hospital rooftop.
"I can't help falling in love with you."
The song came to a close. The others applauded and joined them on the dance floor as The Royal Blacksmiths began their rendition of the weekend whip.
"Jay," Nya whispered, "I can't help falling in love with you."
"Me too, Nya," Jay replied, kissing her cheek, "Me too."
Well, I hope you all enjoyed! This kinda worked out perfectly. Today's my grandma's birthday, and she loves Elvis. I didn't realize when I was writing this that today was the day it'd get posted, but pretty cool how that happened. So, happy birthday Grandma!
Anyway, I hope you all have an awesome day! Thanks for reading, and I'll see you all in around 24 hours.
#God's Not Dead!
