Married Couples

Chapter 3: Wedding Arrangements

"Yoh! Yoh! Yoh! Yoh! Yoh!"

Yoh just sighed as Hao burst through the door,

"Let me guess, another old lady down the road had a heart attack and you burnt the ambulances before they could save her again."

"Nooooo," Hao didn't even seem to notice that he had just barged in on his brother in the bath, "I'm getting MARRIED!"

"Oh, has it been three months already?" Yoh didn't seem to realise his invaded privacy either.

"Yup- aww!"

Yoh sighed again, "what now?"

"The bubbles are blocking my view!" Complained the older of the two, jumping up and down on the spot as he whined, trying to see what lay beneath the bubbly surface of the bathwater.

"Oh, what a tragedy," murmured Yoh sarcastically, "now do you mind? I'm trying to take a bath here!"

"Oh," Hao said, not moving.

"Ahem," Yoh cleared his throat.

"What's the matter? Do you have a soar throat or something?"

"GET OUT!" Yoh yelled, fed up of dropping hints.

"Ok, ok, sheesh, no need to yell, I can take a hint." Grumbled Hao before leaving his brother alone.

"So, Ren, do you want a wedding were we invite EVERYONE we know… Or just our friends?" Hao questioned, dragging Ren across the living room and pulling the carpet up.

"Hao, what the fuck are you doing?" Asked Ren, still struggling to break free.

"Getting the invitations, silly. You didn't think I would just leave them till the last minute, did you?"

After a corner of the carpet was up, Hao removed a piece of floorboard and took out a container, which contained several hundred invitations to the wedding.

"How many people do you want to invite!" Yelled Ren, yet again attempting to ruin the wedding by ripping the invitations to shreds, but once again failing.

"Oh, one, maybe two…"

"Hundred!"

"Yuhuh," Hao grinned and nodded, "why? Did you just want a little private wedding? Coz that would work two ya know," he carried on grinning.

"How about no wedding," Ren suggested.

"Sorry, not gonna happen-"

"No, neither is this wedding," Ren whispered under his breath.

"-We must be married! You promised!"

"I know I promised, but, cant I just break a promise? Just this once?"

"No!" Hao said sternly, "WE WILL BE WED!"

"Who will be?" Interrupted a voice from the left.

"Oh! Horo! So nice to see you!" Smiled Hao.

"Uh... Dude… You're freaking me out… You've never been this nice…Did Ren agree to marry you or something?" Asked the confused Ainu, but then, seeing the look on Ren's face as well as Hao's, he exclaimed, "its been three months already!"

Hao just nodded while Ren sighed, knowing that he'd never be able to get out of the trouble he was now in.

"God hates me," Ren sighed.

"Aww, Renny-Kins! God doesn't hate you!" Comforted Hao as Horo walked out of the room to go and look for some food.

"He put me with you! Of course he hates me!" Ren yelled.

"Ouch," was all Hao could say, letting Ren know he had hurt him.

Ren couldn't help but feel a little bit sorry for the deranged pyro; after all, he was 'in love'.

Damn it Ren! You're a Tao not a lover! Stop feeling sorry for him! It's all part of his plan! …But he does look awfully cute when he's hurt like that…

"Fine," Ren sighed, "I'll marry you…"

"REALLY!" Hao asked more loudly than he had intended, "ya mean it? Your not gonna leave me at the altar like that Nikki did to Jim on Casualty are you!" Hao looked a bit worried.

"…No…" Ren twitched even though his hair was hiding his eyes as he mentally kicked himself for agreeing to the stupid wedding.

"But I'll only marry you on one condition! You are not allowed to touch, love, kiss or come within ten feet of me after I'm announced 'yours', ok?"

"Ok!" Hao smiled with glee.

Ren was surprised Hao was agreeing to this, Hao always wanted to touch, love, kiss, and be closer that ten feet to Ren!

Oh well, Ren thought to himself, it's his own stupid fault if the basterd's so thick.

"Well, in that case, when's the wedding?" Smiled Ren, wanting to get it over and done with.

"Well, my love, I booked us the church for Tuesday and it's the one near your house, my lovely sister-in-law – a.k.a Jun, your sister – was nice enough to prepare a sort of… gathering occasion for after the 'I do's' since I don't have any money to pay the vicar or whoever I'd have to pay, so we'll have to skid-addle quite quickly."

"You know, Hao, you're amazingly stupid- Tuesday! But that's tomorrow!" Ren yelled, grabbing Hao by the collar of his poncho.

"Hehe, I know," Hao grinned again, "don't worry, love, I already have your outfit picked out for you, well, sort of, the only one I could get at such short notice was one that Jun found in her attic, hope you don't mind."

"No, no, that's just… Fine…"

"Great!" Smiled the Tao's 'future husband'.

"Hey, aren't virgins supposed to wear white on their wedding?" Ren asked, trying to make some sort of conversation.

"Ooh, well, in that case I'll come in black then!" Hao laughed loudly, then, seeing the look on Ren's face, said, "no, no, I'll wear white, you know I only have eyes for you, Tao."

"Oh, jee, ain't I the lucky one," mumbled Ren sarcastically.

"Why yes you are." Hao agreed.

Ren sighed, "'night," he said before walking towards his room.

"Why yes, my love, it is night- oh! You mean 'night! Uh, yeah, goodnight!" Hao called, "remember! Tomorrow's our wedding day!"
