Today was the day; the day of my best friend Serenity's wedding. She had woken up very early and had come looking for Joey and I, finding us asleep in his bedroom. It wasn't easy to extract myself from my lover's warm embrace, but I joined my friend as soon as I could with a few giggles from both of us.
"Well, I'd ask how you and my brother are getting along, but I think finding the two of you sleeping naked together is enough explanation for me. I hadn't ever realized how really masculine my brother was; I can't blame you for wanting to be with him. It seems like quite a few of us coupled up last night, even me." she giggled.
"Yeah? Is that the reason you're marrying Tristen?" I teased.
"No, but it certainly helps. I love everything about him. He's strong, he's sensitive, and he makes me feel loved and desired." Serenity said.
I embraced my friend. "I am so happy for you, Serenity!" I said.
She laughed happily. "I am too." she said.
"Sounds like I'm the man of the hour." a voice said nearby.
It, of course, was Tristen, smiling wildly at his soon to be bride. She smiled too upon seeing him.
"Well hello there, my tall, handsome lover." Serenity told him.
He smiled, taking her into his arms for a warm embrace. "Good morning to you too, my love." he told her.
"Well, I don't know about tall and handsome, but hey, if she's not complaining, he's okay in his books." Joey laughed, joining us.
"I swear, Joey Wheeler, you ought to be grateful the girls are here or you and I would be having it out." Tristen teased back.
"Come and get me, big guy. I'm ready whenever you are." Joey told him.
"Those two...they never stop. They're like children really." Tea said.
The four of us turned to greet Tea and Yugi, who had just come into the room.
"I can only hope that you can handle Joey now that you've got him, Serene. He's quite the handful." Yugi said.
"Oh man, not you too! Geez, what's a nice guy like me gotta do to get some respect around here?" Joey said.
I turned around to face him, stroking his long blonde hair lovingly. "You're more than enough man for me, Joey." I told him.
He smiled broadly and embraced me. "Didn't I tell you? This is my girl, alright, no doubt about it. We're a perfect match." Joey said.
I smiled, returned his embrace. It felt so good to be back with Serenity and her brother and all the new friends they had made. Tea, Serenity and I bid the guys farewell as we prepared to make our way to the church.
The ceremony that day was the most beautiful display of two people's love for each other I'd ever seen. Both Joey and I got swept away in the romance of seeing his sister and his best friend making a lifetime commitment to each other. Even their schoolmate Seto Kaiba and his younger brother Mokuba had shown up for the ceremony, being respectful enough even not to tease Joey and I for crying out of our happiness for the couple.
Serenity confided in me later it was because she had once had a steamy romance with the handsome billionaire and that he and Mokuba were there in respect for her, even if Seto didn't particularly care for Joey that much. His brother Mokuba, a sweet teenaged boy with long raven black hair that reached down below his waist, smiled at Joey and I as we took each other's hands in our happiness for the newly wed couple. Serenity was postively glowing, and so it seemed was Tristen, the happiest Joey had ever seen his old friend.
We were the first to congratulate the newlyweds, Joey and his sister sharing a warm sibling embrace, me giving Tristen a hug even though I didn't know him that well.
"Hell Serene, you're pratically family now, you and Joey...oh wow, I never even thought about that. Joey and I are like in-laws now. I knew there had to be a downside in this marriage." Tristen teased.
Joey rushed over to his friend and the two of them wrestled each other playfully.
"You and I have been like brothers for years, you know that, you doofus." Joey said.
Tristen smiled and laughed. "I guess I got the best part of the deal then. The woman I love and my best friend for a brother-in-law." he said.
Joey laughed. "Hey thanks, bro, right back at you." he said.
Serenity grabbed my hands. "Come on, Serene, let me introduce you to some friends of mine. These are the Kaiba brothers, Seto and Mokuba. Thank you for coming, Seto, Mokuba." Serenity said.
Mokuba smiled brightly and so did his brother; I could see what Serenity saw in him so long before. He seemed so stern and serious, but when he smiled, he could disarm anyone...if it wasn't for Joey, I could easily fall for the tall, cool billionaire myself. He and Serenity shared a warm, friendly embrace and it was obvious from the look on his face over her shoulder that he still cared about her even now. I almost felt sorry for him in a way, but I was sure he would find someone to make him happy the way Tristen and Joey did Serenity and I.
As for Joey, I hadn't realized he was so emotional about weddings and that endeared me to him even more. Since after the ceremony, once I returned back to him after being introduced to the Kaiba brothers, he took my hand in his again and didn't let go until it was time for Tristen and Serenity to share their first dance as man and wife.
Joey danced with Mai, Yugi with Tea, and Seto offered to dance with me. Mai I had met but briefly; she was a woman the guys had met at the Duelist Kingdom when they were competing in a Duel Monsters competition. I was proud to know that Joey had ranked as second place duelist in that competition. Little Mokuba danced with a girl around his age that had come to the wedding with her family. He was blushing furiously when he accepted, but they seemed to really like each other. When Seto took me into his arms to dance with him, he made his intentions very clear very quickly. He knew I was with Joey, but he was attracted to me despite that.
He was incredibly hard to resist with the skill he used to lead us into the dance, his blue eyes taking in every curve of my body. I could feel Joey glaring at him when he aggressively pullled me against him for the slow dance.
"I can definitely see what that dog Joey see in you. You are quite the treat for the senses." he told me with a husky voice.
I had to admit, he was incredibly sexy, but he couldnt compare to my Joey. As if he were reading my mind, my lover came over and asked to dance with me once the song ended. Seto reluctantly gave me over to Joey, glaring at him the whole time.
"That Kaiba is some piece of work. He could never be enough man for you, my love." Joey said.
We jumped back from each other, startled, for a moment. Had Joey just called me his love, I wondered.
"I'm sorry. I guess that just slipped. I don't know what came over me." he said. "It's okay. I kinda feel the same way Joey." I said. "Serene..." he whispered.
All of the sudden, from the moment he took me into his arms and brought his lips to mine in a long, passionate kiss, everything around us disappeared. Nothing else mattered but the feeling of being in my lover's arms, sharing our feelings for each other in the sweetest, most loving way two people possibly could. This was the moment that he muttered; Joey and I loved each other and that was all that counted.
