Sorry for the delay in getting a new story out but I've been focusing on a lot of other Wesley/Riker fics. I hope you've been reading them! And there will be two more added this week :)
She wasn't paying attention to what the Captain was saying. She was focused on the two men standing in front of him. She couldn't remember ever seeing either of them so happy. The two of them were beaming.
She could feel how happy they were, how in love they were. It was overwhelming. She didn't know how she had ever missed it. She supposed that it was because she had been jealous and had therefore denied the feelings between Will and Wesley.
It had been different when Will was sleeping with random women. They didn't mean anything. Wesley meant something to Will though. Wesley meant a lot to Will, actually. The emotions she was feeling from Will now were intense. Will had never felt anything close to it in the time that she and he had been together. Part of her was sad because of that, but she loved him and she was happy that he had found someone that made him so happy.
She had sort of been seeing someone for a while now anyway. It wasn't anything serious, more like a fling, but things might change after this.
Deanna was hit with a wave of anger, resentment, and sadness. Beverly's emotions were almost as overwhelming as the happy couple's. Deanna knew that Beverly was having a hard time coming to terms with her son's relationship. Beverly had confided in her on more than one occasion. She was trying though. She had just recently accepted the fact that Will really did love Wesley and that this wasn't some fling and that Will wasn't using Wesley. But then the two had decided to get married. Beverly pretended to be okay for her son, but she was going to need a lot more time to adjust. At least from what Deanna had heard, Beverly had handled herself better than Deanna had when she had found out about Will and Wesley.
The Captain was now telling Will and Wesley that they could kiss. Even if Deanna couldn't feel people's emotions, she would have known how in love those two were just from that kiss. It brought a tear to Deanna's eye. She applauded with everyone else as Wesley and Will turned away from the Captain and faced the crowd. They beamed at everyone who had attended, and a lot of people had attended.
Will pulled Wesley to him and kissed him again, Wesley turning red but laughing.
Yes, they were definitely happy together. Deanna hoped that one day she could be as happy as they were.
