It was like they were frozen in time, that it was just the two them locked in that kiss for ages when in truth it was only fifteen seconds before Andrew cleared his throat to break them apart. As they did so, Hunter and Treyden pressed their foreheads together smiling with closed eyes. Gods, Hunter wanted to say fuck the party and just take Treyden to the hotel now, ravage him all night long until they collapsed from exhaustion or soreness, whichever came first in their love-making.

"I love you," Hunter whispered to his husband.

"I love you too," Treyden replied gently.

"You know, there is a room full of people who don't want to see you two get into it on the floor," Shane stated.

"Save it for later," Andrew added.

"I swear if you two or anyone else tries to stop me from loving my husband whenever and where ever I want, I'm drop-kicking all of you to the floor," Hunter warned. "Our wedding, we don't need your approval,"

"Shutting up," Shane, Andrew, Fisher, Conner, Nikolas, and Travis said quickly while backing away.

"We should partake in a little of the reception, babe. You get me all tonight and the next seven days," Treyden giggled a little.

"Oh, I suppose. Daxter, would you like to finish it off?" Hunter sighed as Treyden and he stood straight up, holding hands while Daxter nodded. Hunter and Treyden faced the guests smiling.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I now have the privilege of presenting for the first time, Mr. and Mr. Hunter and Treyden Haddock!" Daxter announced as the crowd stood up in applause for the newly married couple. "Are you two moving right into your first dance?" Daxter whispered from behind the two lovers.

"Might as well, then we can do dinner and open the floor for dancing to the guests while that settles before we do cake and other wedding activities," Hunter shrugged. Daxter nodded to them with a smile as he stepped back with the microphone.

"At this time, I'd like to ask all guests to move off the floor as the newlyweds will have their first dance," Daxter informed as the lights dimmed and Hunter moved to his laptop to get the song ready.

"Wait a minute; we never picked a song to dance too?" Treyden worried.

"Relax, babe. I realized we didn't so I've got something that works. I think you'll like it," Hunter smiled as he moved closer to Trey with his hand out. Treyden took Hunter's while bring pulled into the arms of his husband. "When I'm with you. When I'm with you. When I'm with you-you-you. You...When I'm with you." Hunter started softly as Treyden's eyes widened a little. Hunter...wrote a song for them?

"What good is a memory, without you there with me? The morning sun ain't the same without you here. You are the summer breeze. The wind blowing through the trees. You make the loneliness, all just disappear. " Hunter continued. Treyden was sure of it; Hunter made them a song because there were no lyrics emitting from the speakers except the background singing which was also Hunter's voice pre-recorded.

Hunter held the higher note with a smile.

"What's a photograph, if you're not in the other half? Why even dream, if I'm not dreaming of you? You make me a better man. Promise I'll do all I can. Your love keeps me bringing me closer to the truth. Nothing replaces your touch. Never stop believing in us. They try to break us, but we stand strong in love. They'll be no distance too far, I gotta be where you are(right where you are)," Hunter sang and took a breath while still dancing with Treyden who looked like he was about to cry hearing Hunter's song for him.

Another breath before he kept going. "When I'm with you. When I'm with you. When I'm with you-you-you. You... When I'm with you." Hunter twirled Treyden once and then brought him back against his body with a smile. "Hey, I questioned whether time or fate would ever show me a sign. The moment I saw you, that's when I knew. I feel it when I'm with you!"

"I don't wanna face this world alone. Without you by my side. You're the only one that makes it feel like home, and I need you in my life. When you're not around, I'm feeling, like a piece of me is missing. When it feels like the day is closing in, somehow I find the faith to make it through! When I'm with you. When I'm with you. When I'm with you-you-you. You...When I'm with you..." Hunter slowed as he leaned in closer to Treyden who was now smiling but tears settling in his eyes.

"When I'm with you. When I'm with you. When I'm with you-you-you. When I'm with you..." The song stopped as Hunter cupped Trey's cheek and kissed him deeply again. Hunter broke it after a few seconds; it was quiet. "I love you, Treyden Haddock," Hunter whispered against his lips.

"I loved the song, and I love you too, Hunter Haddock," Treyden replied, trying not to cry now. The song was fantastic, nothing like Trey had ever heard before but full of so much meaning and emotion. Finally, the lights came on a little more, and the clapping began. Hunter led Treyden to their table and sat him down; then Hunter went to lower the music and announce that it was time to eat, after that there would be more dancing for anyone who wanted too.

Dinner was calm, everyone talking at their tables. Hunter tried to keep them grouped the best he could but figured it wouldn't matter after they ate because people would be up and wandering around freely or dancing until it was time for cake. Right now, most everyone had finished their food; servers were going around and clearing empty plates, but the cake hadn't come out yet because Hunter wanted the to be a surprise for everyone else to see, no one had except Treyden. When Hunter and Trey were done eating they started making their way around to the different tables to talk to others and enjoy the party. After all, Hunter and Trey would have all night together, and no one would see or hear from them for an entire week.

Around 7ish after everyone finished eating and was moving around on the dance floor having fun, Hunter and Treyden decided it was time to let the best man's do their speeches; Andrew and Shane both wrote one, after that they would cut the cake. So for about twenty minutes, Shane and Andrew gave their speeches about knowing the boys and how things turned out, a few stories too. Shockingly, Dustin and Salvatore ended up taking another fifteen minutes between the two of them to say a few words as well and wishing Treyden and Hunter the best towards the future. Hunter signaled for the cake to come out as Trey and he moved to the table it would be on.

"Wow, that's a killer cake! What bakery did that, Hunter?" Xander exclaimed.

"No bakery. Hunter did this himself. Never knew he was such an artistic baker," Treyden replied as eyes began to widen. "We checked all bakeries around, but none were able to make a camouflage cake to represent that Hunter and I started this journey because we joined the army. So, mister crafty over here decided to keep it a secret and bake the cake in sections over at his father's house and turned it into this masterpiece which I'm absolutely in love with," he explained.

"The detail on the weapons and people are exquisite, Hunter. Are those flags there to represent the first Plasma Fire platoons?" Brady asked.

"Sure are. Harry's figure is standing behind them, as he always did in life. Treyden and I at the top of course. A few grenades and gun statue, then what took the most time was those tags," Hunter chuckled motioning to the pieces while describing them.

"Perfectly portrayed, showing the dates from the beginning to now. It's magnificent, son," Salvatore stated as everyone was taking pictures before it got cut into. However, first, Hunter carefully removed the top layer with their figurines and the tags piece off the rest of the cake. One of the staff took it carefully and returned the section to the back fridge. "What was that for?"

"Hm? Oh taking that off? It's a tradition to save the top tier and freeze it, then when Treyden and I celebrate one year of marriage, we take that section and thaw it out then enjoy eating on our anniversary. Sounds corny, I know, but that's just we decided to do," Hunter shrugged.

"That's so sweet!" Renee and Heather practically melted at the notion of sharing the top layer after one year of being married.

"Ready, baby?" Treyden asked as Hunter picked up the knife and Trey held it with him as they cut the first and second pieces together, plated them and returned to their table as a staff member came over to do the rest for other guests. The cake was delicious! Hunter was an excellent cook! The night continued as people continued to talk and dance, Hunter and Treyden partook in a few more themselves then sat around with others to chat.

"So, you two planning on having kids? Well, adoption or surrogacy?" Audrey inquired.

"I'm sure at some point we will but not right now. In June, we'll hit six years in the military and still two on our contract following that mark. Perhaps after then, we'll take the idea into consideration," Hunter replied.

"Yeah, we wouldn't want to start a process like that when there's risk of being deployed and not being there for the birth, if surrogacy was used or something halts an adoption. It's best to wait," Treyden agreed.

"What will you two do when contracts are up?" Conner questioned.

"Haven't given it much thought," Trey shrugged.

"I have," Andrew stated, "I'm going reserves or part time as it were," he admitted. "Losing Theo kind'a did it in for me that I don't want to do active duty for years on end. Plus, I want more time with Cait and our baby," Andrew instantly covered his mouth.

"ANDREW!" Caitlyn whispered in shock then looked at Hunter who's brow had begun to twitch.

"Baby?" Hunter asked.

"I, uh, she...Well," Andrew tried to say, but he sighed softly knowing he couldn't lie to Hunter. "Caitlyn and I just found out she's six weeks pregnant on Wednesday. I-I'm sorry, Hunter. I didn't want it to come out this way; we were gonna announce it...after you and Trey came back from your honeymoon. Viola and Sal already know, so do...all these guys," he motioned to the friends from Hunter's High School days.

"You kept your promise of waiting until after a year to have sex with her, I'm good. But on a curious note, why haven't you said anything before now?" Hunter asked.

"Because we know you and Trey were busy with the wedding and didn't want to add trouble, plus, I mean coming out here...it's your guy's wedding, we didn't want to crash that with our news," Caitlyn mentioned.

"Stupid. You're my little sister, finding out I'm gonna be an uncle is incredible," Hunter chuckled a bit.

"Sorry, big brother," Caitlyn stated as Hunter moved over to hug her tightly, then shake Andrew's hand with a smile.

"You take care of her, or I'll beat you into your own grave. Got it?" Hunter warned.

"Aye, aye sir!" Andrew saluted him.

"Good. However, on Andrew's statement about going part time. I've been considering to do the same," Hunter admitted which shocked Treyden a bit.

"And why haven't you told me about this?" Trey inquired.

"I was going to after the honeymoon. It's crossed my mind once or twice, especially putting together that picture of Striker One. You saw what the deaths did to me, Trey. Even if I was the one who chose not to tell anyone it bothered me, that's how much it all affected me. When my eight years is up, I think I might move to part time. I'll finish off my contract, but I don't think I can stand to stay active duty after that," Hunter informed.

"Well, if you're going part time then so am I. Besides, it might be nice to settle down now that we're married," Treyden smiled as he kissed Hunter lightly.

"That's what I thought too, aside from all the other reasons. The military brought me to this life with you, and now I want to be able to enjoy that," Hunter nodded as Treyden relaxed on his shoulder. Yes, having his thoughts in the open on the subject made the choice more clear. Hunter loved the army and wanted to continue being a part of it. However, recalling his breakdown and all the deaths that occurred between two tours alone. No, Hunter didn't want to be in a massive line of fire as it were anymore. Hunter was married to Treyden and wanted to live the life they chose to have together and stay out of active duty. Being in the reserves, Hunter knew he wouldn't deploy unless it was needed as a last resort and those rarely happened.

The party continued calmly after that, plans for the future being talked about. The time hit 9:30 pm as Hunter and Treyden were ready to leave. Viola and Salvatore told them not to worry about cleaning up, just to go and they'd see them in a week. Trey and Hunter changed clothes into something more comfortable then said their goodbyes, thanked everyone and left in Hunter's truck towards the hotel, which was only for tonight and tomorrow was the start of the seven-day honeymoon cruise.

(Archian Grand Hotel; 10:40 pm)

After leaving the reception from their wedding, Hunter and Treyden traveled into the city where their hotel was, and it was right by the airport so they could leave smooth in the morning. After parking, then grabbing the overnight bags and getting checked in, it was almost 11 pm when they reached their room.

"Well, we did it, baby. We're married!" Treyden said excitedly.

"I know. And you want to know the first thing I want to do now that we're alone?" Hunter smiled softly as he took Treyden's hand in his and walked him to the edge of the bed, then sat Trey down as Hunter leaned in close while intertwining their fingers together.

"What's that?" Treyden replied with a blush.

"I want to make this marriage official by making love to you as long as we're both able to withstand it before needing to sleep," Hunter enlightened truthfully. Treyden's eyes met Hunter's now.

"Do it, make love to me, Hunter," Treyden invited softly. Hunter needed nothing else as he flipped off the light for the room after making sure it was locked with the door hanger saying 'do not disturb.' Hunter dimmed the lights a bit so he could still see his husband while this happened then he laid Treyden down on the king sized bed, crawling over on top, then kissing Treyden deeply.

(Hunt X Trey Lemon)

Usually, things started quickly between them but not tonight. No, Hunter was going to take it slow and let them both enjoy it as long as they were able. This evening, Hunter wouldn't let Trey do anything to him, Hunter was going to take the reigns and show Treyden how happy he was, how...complete he was now that the two of them were married and nothing could ever tear them apart. Hunter's kisses with Treyden came fierce but still filled with passion and depth while returning to his feet and pulling Trey up to remove his husband's shirt and get it out of his way, then Treyden did the same to Hunter's shirt before being laid down once again. Treyden's hands were around Hunter's shoulders, drawing him down and in for more kisses. Hunter broke loose and started kissing on Trey's neck gently, causing his husband to moan softly.

"Mm, Hunter..." Trey breathed out as Hunter's hand slipped down Treyden's body to the button and zipper, working them to come undone and loosened for Hunter to get his hand in and stroke his husband's cock a few times. "A-Ah!"

"Ssh now, we aren't home remember?" Hunter reminded lovingly as Treyden nodding, understanding he had to keep his voice lower in the hotel when they did this. Hunter pulled his hand out and began to trail kisses down farther until he reached the waistline and removed his lover's pants and boxers from Trey's legs and tossed them carelessly onto the floor, then Hunter turned his attention to Trey's hardened length. Hunter smiled as he kissed the top then brought his mouth to it, bobbing his head up and down a few times, this caused Treyden to moan again.

Hunter removed his mouth and started stroking it with his hand now that it was lubed up for easier movements without causing friction or pain. These actions were accompanied by more sucking after five or so minutes. Unfortunately, it never took Hunter long to get Treyden close to releasing because Trey loved how it felt. After Treyden had released once, Hunter lifted his husband legs a little to reveal his ass. Hunter turned Trey over, so he was on his stomach, then Trey elevated his rear into the air by getting on his hands and knees. Hunter moved in closer and kissed down Trey's back until reaching his butt, Hunter then spread the cheeks apart and began to tongue around the rim.

"Hunter!" Trey gasped out; they had done it before when they started having sex almost three years ago. Exploring the different forms of pleasure, they could experience, and Hunter found that Treyden adored having his ass eaten out, so Hunter added that to the list of things he did to please his lover. Hunter licked around the outside of the hole, then tongued at it a few times while Trey panted and moaned, even going as far to bury his face in the pillow so not to yell out at the feeling. Hunter kept at his work for seven minutes, then used his spit to lube it up and begin fingering his husband with one at first, then adding a second one five minutes later.

To add to the pleasure, Hunter started using his free hand to reach under and stroke Trey's cock at the same time. This drove Trey wild and Hunter knew he was doing his job right. When Trey got close to cumming again, Hunter stopped giving the hand job but kept at the finger pounding because that's how Trey liked it as Hunter discovered over time, his lover loved it hard and fast.

"Mm! Hunt, please...No more teasing, I want you!" Trey pleaded as Hunter removed his fingers, then left the bed to grab the lube out of his backpack. Tonight was the night they were going unprotected or bareback as it was known in the community. It had been discussed among their more private conversations about the wedding, which tonight would be the one where they didn't use a condom but would still finish one another off without cumming inside. Hunter lubed Trey up once more, and then himself before pressing the top of his hardened length at Treyden's entrance and pushed in slowly.

"Gods, you're so tight," Hunter groaned in pleasure at the feeling of everything without a condom on. Hunter started his thrusts in and out slowly to allow for it to be more passion than fucking. That is what this evening was about, them making love and consummating the marriage they began tonight. It was something all couples did, so why shouldn't they do the same? Hunter's and Trey's lives were perfect since meeting one another; there was never a dull day between them. The sex continued as long as they were able to make it last by switching positions every five to ten minutes, also using foreplay to draw it out more.

Treyden almost begged for it; but Hunter gave in and let Trey enter and fuck him too because Treyden wanted Hunter to feel how amazing it was without the condom, so that became a thing for about forty-five minutes; Trey being the one to show Hunter some of the pleasure he had been receiving. Hunter enjoyed, things were different without a condom on. To think, they started this venture at 10:45 pm, it was now 3:20 am as both of them were reaching their peak point of pleasure and unable to hold back.

"Ah, Hunt...I can't anymore," Treyden told him, panting hard.

"Ah, neither...can I," Hunter exasperated. They were tired; it was time to end this and call it a night. Hunter pounded in a few more times before pulling out and crawling over Trey carefully, both of them panting hard and reaching for each other's throbbing lengths. Doing as they always did, jacking one another off until they released at the same time in the overwhelming pleasure gathered through the evening together. Hunter kissed Trey passionately before climbing off and grabbing a shirt from the floor so they could clean up first, then get comfortable in the bed to sleep.

(End Trey X Hunt Lemon)

The two were laying down under the covers, Treyden was in Hunter's left arm, his head against Hunter's chest with closed eyes. "I...love you, Hunter," Treyden managed while coming down from the feeling still.

"And I love...you as well, Treyden," Hunter replied with a smile as he kissed Trey's forehead. "Rest now, Love. We have the rest of our lives to share on perfect days and nights like this one," he added as Treyden and he kissed again. Not long after, Treyden was fast asleep, his hand with the wedding rings sitting on Hunter's chest.

~Hunter's POV~

I laid there awake watching my husband sleep peacefully in my arms, his rings glimmering in the dimmed lights of the room and my ring was showing from my hand that rested on Treyden's shoulder. We were together and married, the wedding had been exceptional and our night just now, even better. While lying still staring up at the ceiling as sleep began to take me away, I couldn't help but think of how I got to where I was now. Six years ago, I had four incredible friends; Renee, Fisher, Heather, and Travis. I had my cousin, Shane as a friend too. I had two uncles, Shawn and Gregory, who also happened to be mine and Caitlyn's godfather. I had a girlfriend at the time, Audrey, who started as my first friend and became one of my best. With all that, I had my little sister, Caitlyn and of course, my parents, Viola and Salvatore.

That is how things were in 2016 at the end of my Freshman year in High School in May. By June, the next month, I joined as a member of the Archi Island Army because I knew I could become more. The motto for the army is 'Be All You Can Be.' When I think about that line, I can't help but wonder if I've lived up to it. Joining the army gave me Treyden who very quickly became my best friend and saved my life at Basic graduation. Joining also gave me Striker One and Harry, though, a few of those friends are gone now, I know they are with us always. Joining showed me who was truly on my side and wanted my happiness.

The Army helped my Mom finally come around to support my choices and be happy for me. The Army showed me how strong I am and lastly, the Army revealed who my soulmate is; Treyden. So. when I ask myself if I lived up to the motto, I can honestly say that with my family, friends, job, and now husband; I became all I am, and I have become all I can be.
