Kia: Ok then! On to the wedding! starts writing chapter

Leon: O.o……WTF?

Chapter 23

Today was the day. Today was the day everyone had been waiting for. Today was D and Leon's wedding. Leon had awoken bright and early, anxious for the day to begin. D had awoken even earlier.

They took some time to just rest in each other's arms, since no one else was awake, and most likely wouldn't be for at least an hour. Leon placed a gentle kiss on D's cheek. "Ready for today?"

D snuggled against Leon contentedly. "Are you?"

"I asked you first."

D smiled. "Of course I am. I can't possibly wait."

Leon squeezed D tightly against his chest. "Same here." They sat in silence, enjoying the intoxicating aroma and warmth of each other.

A few minutes later, D stood up, leaving the room. Leon followed him closely, sometimes stopping D for a loving hug. Finally, they reached the twins' room. After opening the door, both Leon and D found both babies standing in their cribs and crying. D headed for Matt's crib, while Leon went to Yui's.

"Hello there, little Matt." D cooed, calming Matt.

"Yui, Yui!" Leon laughed, tossing her into the air, making her laugh. He wiped away the tear tracks from her cheeks and set her on the ground, taking one of her hands. "Time for a diaper change, sweetie?" Yui followed willingly as Leon walked her out of the room. D trailed after them, rocking Matt gently in his arms.

Jill peeked out her room as the couple took the kids into the bathroom. She smiled sleepily and glanced at her watch, blinking in surprise at how early it was. So she shook her head and retreated to the comfort of her bed.

Later, at a small church

Leon paced nervously, afraid that the eggs and bacon he had eaten that morning would come up. While Leon paced at the back of the church, D paced in the bride's dressing room. Jill was chasing after him with an annoyed look on her face. She was trying to fix a hem that had somehow managed to come loose. D's constant moving made that quite hard. D wondered if Leon was having second thoughts.

"Oh, nonsense! He absolutely in love with you!" Kasi exclaimed when D voiced his thoughts.

"And you look so beautiful, D!" Mercy clasped her hands happily.

"D, stop moving around! You're gonna make me poke you!" Jill scolded.

"Leon's gonna fall head over heels all over again when he sees you!" Mercy continued.

"Yeah, and this time, he won't be so hesitant to accept it." Jill muttered, finally finishing D's hem.

D smiled at all of them happily. He was beaming with impatience and happiness. "Of course. Now that we've settled that, I have one last question."

"Yeah?" Jill urged him on.

"Is it time to go out there yet?" D asked. All the women laughed in response.

A few minutes later

Leon was standing at the alter now, listening as the music played softly. D should be there soon. He rocked slightly on his heels nervously, looking around. The church didn't have many people at all there, just the random friends they had made in Louisiana, but a video camera was set up to record the whole thing. Leon smiled at the flower bouquets that were set on opposite sides of the alter. The small decorations such as ribbon bows, flowers, ect., were all light blues and reds. The two bridesmaids, some of Jill's relatives, and the men that accompanied them, also Jill's relatives, wore light blue dresses and suits. Leon wore a suit so dark a blue it could be mistaken for black. As for D, Leon had no idea what he looked like…

The doors opened and D was standing there, a slight blush on his face. He wasn't sure about Leon's thoughts, and that frightened him. He couldn't tell Leon's thoughts from his current expression. Was he shocked? Surprised? Did he like what he saw?

Leon was speechless. It took all his strength to keep his jaw from dropping. D was so beautiful, and it made him adore him that much more.

D smiled at Mercy, Kasi, and Jill. They were in the audience, smiling brightly as D walked slowly down the aisle. Leon couldn't keep his eyes off of D, and barely heard the priest when he began talking. If D hadn't motioned a bit with his head towards the priest, Leon wouldn't have ever taken his eyes away from D.

Blinking back to reality, Leon took D's hands absently as he repeated the priest's words. D bit back the tears he knew were coming and then followed Leon's suit, repeating the same words.

As Leon placed the ring on D's hand, tears cascaded down D's cheeks. He had held them back as long as possible, but this was the last straw. He had felt everything he loved about Leon fall with those tears. Each tear represented something special about Leon.

He loved how tender Leon was. He loved how gentle and parental he was with the children. He loved those nights when Leon would just snuggle close and fall asleep instantly. And, yes, he even loved when Leon had a hangover and he was left to care for him. Tears streamed down D's face as he thought over all these.

Leon winced slightly when D began to cry. He never knew what to think when D cried. But this time, he was certain it was because of happiness, not sadness. He smiled softly at D, who wiped away his tears before taking the ring from Julie. D smiled at Leon, taking his hand to place the ring on it.

Take my hand and lead the way,

Tell me all you want to say,

Jill wiped away the few tears that fell as the now married couple kissed. Mercy reached for another tissue, and Kasi cried loudly. The twins laughed and smiled happily as they watched their parents.

Reception

Leon hugged Jill, saying softly to her, "Thanks for the help." He did the same to Kasi and Mercy. A slow song came on, and D tugged gently at Leon's hand. Leon smiled, following D to the open floor for a dance.

Whisper softly in my ear,

All the things I want to hear.

"I love you." D whispered to Leon, who pulled him closer.

"I love you too." Leon answered, kissing D lightly.

Later that night

"Oh, no! You two go on ahead." Jill shooed Leon and D towards the door. "You've been here long enough! Besides, we've already agreed to clean everything!" Jill motioned to the others, who nodded.

(Remember, guys! There were never actually that many people to witness this event, so they all agreed to help clean up.)

"Ok then." Leon shrugged. "Watch the kids, please." Leon said, pulling D out of the room before he could protest leaving the cleaning to the others.

At Kasi's House (everyone else is staying at a relative's)

Kiss my lips and touch my skin,

Bring out passions deep within.

Leon opened the door and tossed the keys on the counter. D set a soft red rose next to them. Jill had given it to him, saying the children had wanted to buy them a gift, but didn't know what to get. The rose was their gift. And to D, it was the best gift they had ever gotten.

Leon cleared his throat, smiling sheepishly at D. D just smiled innocently as Leon pulled him close for a loving kiss.

Pull me close and hold me near.

Be my beacon shine your light,

In the brightness of the sun,

Show me you are the one.

Leon pulled away, letting out a loud sigh of contentment. He glanced around the kitchen and connecting den for a moment. "Are we all alone?"

"Yes, everyone wanted to give us at least one night of peace." D smiled, clasping his hands as he waited for Leon to continue.

Leon bounded into the den and onto the couch. "Wanna watch some TV?" He asked as he picked up the remote.

D rolled his eyes. "Of course, dear."

Give me wings so I can fly,

For I soar when you're nearby.

"Hey, is that sarcasm I hear?" Leon called out to D, who was walking towards him.

"No, not at all, dear." D replied, the sarcasm obvious this time. He placed a kiss on Leon's forehead before sitting next to him. Leon just smirked and wrapped an arm around D, unbuttoning his tux. It was very uncomfortable.

Enter my heart,

Break down the wall,

It's time for me to watch it fall.

D smiled at this movement, and sat up, out of the way. Leon looked at him patiently. D helped him removed the rest of the shirt and jacket before settling next to him again.

"Better now?" D asked, brushing his hand over Leon's abdomen, bringing a grin to Leon's face.

I've been a prisoner,

Can't you see?

Break my chains,

And set me free.

Leon caught D's hand and kissed it gently, surprised to see the slight blush that settled over D's face. Despite that, Leon nodded in response to D's question before turning off the TV and standing. He pulled D up with him.

Strip me of my armor tight,

You'll find I won't put up a fight.

Release my soul held deep within…

Leon had led D up to their bedroom, and was now slowly unhooking the clasps of D's cheongsam.

When that was finished, D wrapped his arms around Leon's neck, and whispered, "I'm ready now,

Let love begin."

Kia: End of this chappie! So sorry it took so long, guys! But…yeah. Anyway………- I didn't like the whole 'poem interrupting the story' thing. - And, just because of that, I put the poem here now! Isn't it sweet? I LOVE it!

Take my hand and lead the way,

Tell me all you want to say,

Whisper softly in my ear,

All the things I want to hear.

Kiss my lips and touch my skin,

Bring out passions deep within.

Pull me close and hold me near.

Be my beacon shine your light,

In the brightness of the sun,

Show me you are the one.

Give me wings so I can fly,

For I soar when you're nearby.

Enter my heart,

Break down the wall,

It's time for me to watch it fall.

I've been a prisoner,

Can't you see?

Break my chains,

And set me free.

Strip me of my armor tight,

You'll find I won't put up a fight.

Release my soul held deep within…

I'm ready now,

Let love begin.
