So when we last left the happy couple, they were…ahem…celebrating their engagement. So now that the proposal is done, it's on to the fun part. Planning the wedding, and with Haywire being Haywire, anything is possible. So here's the latest installment of Neon Wedding! And obviously I don't own the song that I will be using. Enjoy!

Chapter 3: Setting the Date
The lights were set low and the air was thick with the smell of burning candles. The couple on the bed merely laid there in each other's arms with soft smiles on their faces. "You really know how to romance a girl," Haywire said softly as she turned in Snake Eyes' arms to gaze at him.
"I'm glad you approve," Snake Eyes signed before resting his head back on the pillow behind him. Haywire smiled as she shifted closer, molding herself along Snake Eyes' side.
"Who would have thought that we'd get this far in our relationship?" Haywire said with a cheeky smile as she lifted a hand to poke Snake Eyes on the nose. He simply smiled and shrugged, causing Haywire to shift with his shoulders. "Well I'm glad that we got this far," she said as she moved to lie on top of Snake's chest. Snake Eyes nodded in agreement. His eyes softened as he moved his arms under the sheet to lay them across Haywire's bare waist. "So…" Haywire started as she rested her chin on her hands. Snake Eyes quirked an eyebrow in question. "When do you want to get hitched?" she asked with a giggle. Snake Eyes rolled his eyes at her choice of words. He then started to think about the perfect date. Haywire hummed in thought as she traced random equations on Snake Eyes' bare chest. She looked up when she felt the warm arms on her waist move up so that she can see Snake's hands.
"What about our first date?" Snake Eyes signed with a quirked eyebrow. Haywire thought it over before shaking her head no.
"Too cliché hon," Haywire said as she pushed up on his chest to sit up. She stood carefully from the bed and walked towards the CD player. "I can feel your eyes you know," Haywire said with a teasing tone as she flipped through the CDs that the two of them had. She looked over her shoulder to see that Snake was trying to act innocent. "I'm not buying that look one bit," she said with a giggle before popping a CD into the player. "Maybe this will help us think," she said as she sashayed her way back to the bit. She smiled slightly when she saw Snake's eyes darken slightly while watching her bare form come back to the bed.
"What CD did you put in?" Snake signed before he sat up and snagged Haywire around her waist and yanked her back onto the bed.
"Our mix CD," she murmured before kissing Snake Eyes. "The one that you and Scarlett made for our anniversary last year," she said, her lips touching his with every word. She could feel him smile before taking her lips into another powerful kiss. In his mind he smirked as he heard his favorite song start to play.
We got the afternoon
You got this room for two
One thing I've left to do
Discover me, discoverin' you, oh
Haywire giggled into the kiss before pulling back and resting against the sheets. Snake Eyes simply smiled down at the petite woman that stole his heart.
One mile to every inch of
Your skin like porcelain
One pair of candy lips and
Your bubblegum tongue, uh uh uh
"What'cha thinking love?" Haywire asked quietly as Snake rested his body next to hers. She turned and cuddled into his side, resting her head on his chest and staring up at the ceiling.
And if you want love
Swim in a deep sea(Of blankets)
Take all your big plans(And break 'em)
This is bound to be a while
"I'm thinking about how you stole my heart. I never knew you had it in you to steal anything," Snake Eyes signed before poking Haywire in the side. She squeaked softly before lifting her head to send a playful glare towards the ninja.
Your body is a wonderland
Your body is a wonder,
I'll use my hands
Your body is a wonderland
"I know I'm so bad for stealing your heart. I should be working for Cobra with how horrible I am," Haywire joked as she snuggled further into her living space heater.
Something 'bout the way
The hair falls in your face
I love the shape you take
When crawlin' towards the pillowcase
Snake Eyes shook slightly with silent laughter before wrapping his arm around Haywire, bringing her closer to him. She hummed softly as she started to drift in and out of sleep. "You're always so warm," she said before yawning slightly. Snake Eyes rolled his eyes before smiling.
You tell me where to go and
Though I might leave to find it
I'll never let your head hit the bed
Without my hand behind it
"You always say that love," Snake Eyes signed when he was sure that Haywire's eyes were open. She stuck her tongue out in response before shifting further up his body. She nuzzled her nose into the curve of his neck and kissed it lightly.
You want love? We'll make it
Swim in a deep sea of blankets
Take all your big plans and break 'em
This is bound to be a while
"And you still love me," she whispered into his ear, delighting in the slight shiver her action caused. Snake Eyes tightened his grip before relaxing it again.
Your body is a wonderland
Your body is a wonder, I'll use my hands
Your body is a wonderland
"What about the day we first said 'I love you'?" Haywire suggested after listening to the music for a moment. "I still think it was funny," Haywire said with a smile. Her smile grew as she felt Snake Eyes shake in laughter.
Damn baby, you frustrate me
I know you're mine, all mine, all mine
But you look so good, it hurts sometimes
"I thought Stone was going to choke when you just shouted it at the top of your lungs," Snake Eyes signed. His hands were shaking due to his repressed laughter.
Your body is a wonderland
Your body is a wonder, I'll use my hands
Your body is a wonderland
Your body is a wonderland, oh no
"It was a close call. He started turning blue for a moment," Haywire giggled as she thought back to that day.
FLASHBACK BEGINS
Snake Eyes was going on a covert mission with a few members of the Alpha Team. Haywire was standing by shifting nervously from foot to foot. This was the first mission he's gone on since they became a couple and to say that she was nervous, would be an understatement.
"We'll be careful, I promise," Snake Eyes signed to Haywire.
"I know you guys will be careful. But I'm still going to be worrying so don't try telling me not to," she replied stubbornly. Snake Eyes shook his head slightly before pressing a masked kiss to her forehead. "I'll miss you, and everyone else of course," she said with a small giggle.
"I'll miss you too," he signed before walking back over to the air ship. He sighed as the engines kicked in. The deafening roar over powered all conversations. Haywire stayed rooted to her spot biting her lower lip. She made a brash decision, as was common for her, and dashed towards the air ship.
"Snake Eyes! I love you!" She shouted as loudly as she could. Snake Eyes looked towards her and signed 'I love you' back to her. Her smile was bright as she bounced out of the hanger bay. Meanwhile Sgt. Stone was busy coughing up a lung due to the water now going down his throat.
FLASHBACK ENDS
"I think that's a good idea," Snake Eyes signed after thinking about it.
"So it's set then, we're getting married August 12," Haywire said with a dreamy sigh. "Good thing we have friends to help us. That only gives us… a little under 4 weeks to plan," Haywire said before sighing. "Can't we just go to Vegas and get married in jeans and t-shirts?" Haywire asked with a slight pout.
"The girls won't let you get away with that. We have plenty of time to plan. And it's not like we're going to be leaving the Pit, it does have a church after all," Snake Eyes signed. Haywire brightened back up as she remembered the church that was set up for the more religious members of the Joes.
"Sounds like a plan Mr. Ninja," Haywire said with a sleepy smile. Snake Eyes and Haywire soon drifted off to sleep, thinking about their wedding day.
