Chapter Fifty-Three: Wedding Bells
Renly's Point of View
Holy shit! I am getting married today. Gendry, Willas, Garlan, and Aegon are asleep where they dropped last night. We stayed up playing poker. I heard the others had a bit of a water balloon battle wih the girls. Only they used condoms instead of balloons. Interesting.
I scratch my crotch and get up. I go to the bathroom and turn on the shower. I strip and step inside. I wash everything. Afterwards, I wrap a towel about my waist and look at myself in the mirror. No need to shave the stylists are going to wax me and prepare me for the wedding. And the second I step out of the bathroom Her Grace grabs me and my towel falls.
They strap me to a table. I am quickly waxed and shaved and plucked and polished. They put wax on a particular part of me and pull the hair up. I scream out waking up the other guys. They are all about to be in the same situation as me.
"You're pure evil," I scream at the people waxing my fun parts.
"Sit back, Lord Renly."
They knock me out with something. When I come too I am in a tanning bed. I apparently went through dental work while I was unconscious. They said my mouth will hurt later, but it should be fine by the wedding tonight.
I am finished with the painful stuff. My mouth really hurts. I go for a walk. I spot Loras getting the princely treatment. He looks at me hopelessly.
I grin at him and walk on. Aegon is groping Margaery in the corridor. She is trying to stop him. I push him and he glares at me.
"Get off my sister," I tell him.
"She's not your sister," Aegon tells me.
"She will be after tonight. Get off or I face my wrath," I say.
"You have no wrath," Margaery laughs.
"Renly," says a drone. I roll my eyes and look at the person addressing me. Stannis. Gross. "What?"
"Why are there camera crews everywhere?" Stannis asks.
"My flower is a prince. This is an important day."
"Are you really going through with this spectacle?"
"Of course."
"You're an idiot."
I roll my eyes and walk away from him. I wish I could steal some time with Loras but I can't according to tradition. I sneak off to the elevator. Robb is in the lobby when I get down there. He is being bombarded by the media. Several members of palace security surround us.
"I just wanted to get away from those crazy stylists. They came at me with wax and I know what that means."
I shudder. I know the feeling. We ride the elevator back up. I look at Robb. He is half dressed for the wedding. I like the white pants. They are pretty sexy on him.
"How's my flower?"
"He's nervous."
It seems like there is something else he wanted to say, but he keeps quiet. We bump into Dacey Mormont and do a double take. If I were into women and not about to get married I wouldn't kick her out of bed.
Her dress is mahogany, and cut low for cleavage and slit to her thigh. Damn. It hugs her athletic form in all the right places. She has her hair pulled up in curls.
"Her Grace is flaying any member of the wedding party who isn't where they're supposed to be. You two better get a move on."
"Where are you going?" Robb asks.
"I'm not wedding party. Oh, and the girls totally won last night."
"In your dreams. You look nice," Robb says.
"Thanks. Renly, always a pleasure," says Dacey. She gets on the elevator.
"Did you ever hit that?" I ask.
"None of your business," Robb says. He disappears. I smirk. I think he did. I know for a fact he had sex before that time he knocked up Jeyne. I scratch my crotch and go finish getting ready.
I look at Brienne. She looks like a man in her tuxedo. I smile. I am so happy to have her with me. Gendry is staring at me. I pat him on the back and he pulls me into a bear hug.
"I am so proud of you," Gendry says.
"Thanks."
"I'm going to miss living with you, best two years of my life."
"I'll miss you too. I love you."
"I love you too," Gendry says. He punches me in the arm for making him get sappy. Willas looks damn hot. He is clean shaven, and like an older version of Loras. Garlan is even sexier. What is it about those Tyrells?
And Margaery out hots them all by a mile. I see her in the hallway wearing her purple dress. My jaw drops. I look at Gendry who is staring at her too. She has a white belt around her hips. I did well designing her dress.
"Holy shit," says Aegon when he steps between me and Gendry.
"Don't get any ideas, pretty boy," Gendry says.
"Margaery," says Loras. My heart skips a beat to hear his sweet voice. she shuts a door and I catch a glimpse of Jon in his tuxedo. He and Satin look around and steal a couple kisses before her Grace makes Satin go to the convention center with the rest of the guests.
"Jon, get the Stark girls and the Reed girl and take them downstairs."
"Yes, Mother," Jon tells the Queen. She comes in where we are. She finds her sons and sends them down for pictures. "Renly, come with me," she says.
I follow her. She leads me into a room with a cooler in it. Inside is a real blue rose. I have never seen one. Its so beautiful. She closes the cooler.
"How did you?"
"It doesn't matter. You said you wanted to give my son a blue rose so now you can."
"I don't know what to say?"
She kisses my cheek and gives me the cooler. Its pretty heavy but I get it back to the suite by myself. I will leave it in here until the last possible moment then tuck it in the back of my pants and give it to my flower during the vows.
I am not as nervous as I thought I would be. I am excited. After today, Loras and I will be married. That is a brand new adventure. I get ready to go to the Hotel's convention center for the wedding. Camera crews are set up and there are a LOT of people here.
Gendry, Brienne, and I are stuffed into a small room leading to the sept. We stand where no one can see us. I would sit down, but I could risk damaging the rose.
"Its almost time," says Gendry.
I take a deep breath. The septon beckons for us to come out. I am first. An orchestra is playing. I stand up straight and fix the black stag on my chest. I look at Brienne over my shoulder. She does not look happy.
My heart is pounding so hard I can actually hear it. The orchestra switches to the royal theme as Margaery comes down the aisle. She has roses weaved into her hair and she is a vision.
Robb is next in white and purple. He looks very handsome. The purple clashes with his hair, but the bastard still looks dreamy. The music changes and everyone stands. Loras comes in with his father. Loras has on all white save for his tie which is purple. There is a gold rose pinned on chest.
We kneel before the septon and he says a prayer. We rise holding hands. We kneel before His Grace and he places golden crowns upon our heads. We are left to do our vows.
"Before we begin, may I?" I ask. I pull out the rose. Loras's cute face lights up. "This rose is everything we have been through in the past two years. I thought getting here would be impossible, but this rose is proof that nothing is impossible."
Then we say out vows. Loras is crying. I place my ring on his finger and we hug. They pour anointing oil over us and we grin. They announce us as married and we share a deep kiss.
I am in tears by the end of it. It was a short ceremony. Now on to the feast and then the sex. Loras and I have to greet each of our guests as they head to the feast.
"Welcome to the family," says Willas. The effect of him in a tux wore off now he's just Willas. I shake his hand. Margaery is being ogled by every male in the place who has eyes.
Aegon gropes her. Margaery punches him. I smirk devilishly. I hug my new sister tight. Her breasts press against me. I squeeze her.
"I am so happy to finally have a sister. We must go shopping together," I tell her. She kisses my cheek to welcome me to the family.
"Congratulations," says Robb. He and Loras meet eyes. "I guess he's your best friend now."
"Oh no. I don't want that responsibility," I say.
"Robb," Loras says. He looks at me for a second I nod. Loras hugs him. After a short hug Robb shakes my hand.
"Take care of him. If you mistreat him, I'll mistreat you," Robb says
"Duly noted," I say, "Meera Reed. Damn girl, you look amazing."
Meera twirls in her dress. She looks fantastic. Robb is a lucky man. He takes her hand and they disappear. I smirk. I kiss Loras as more people greet us.
Dacey comes over looking all hot. She shakes my hand and kisses Loras on the forehead. Its out of character for her, but no one really cares. I spot Gendry and Arya having a tickle fight in a corner.
"You're so lucky," says Sansa. She hugs Loras. He kisses her cheek.
"Why am I lucky?" Loras asks.
"You found true love."
"I guess I did."
We do pictures after the meet and greet. We head back in to the sept to take pictures with the wedding party. Robb gets scolded by the queen for messing up his tux having a steamy make out session with Meera.
Robb and Margaery stand next to Loras. Loras is still holding his rose. He refuses to put it down. Loras grins. His crown is crooked. I try not to laugh. Robb adjusts it for him and the photographer takes their pictures. Then its my side. Me, Brienne, and Gendry.
I make sure my crown is straight. They snap pictures of us. Then its me and Loras. They do many shots of us. They want us to look at each other like we're in love, which makes me laugh because we are.
I stare into his unbelievably cute face. He has a sappy look on his face and a little twinkle in brown eyes. I kiss him. I couldn't resist. When you're married to someone as cute as Loras you want to kiss him all the time.
"How about Loras's family?" Says the photographer.
Jon joins the photo. The Queen makes sure his bow tie is straight. She fusses over him more than her true born children. I stand next to Loras as part of the family. Margaery is in front of me.
After pictures we head to the feast. Loras and I sit at the head table. They toast to us then the feast begins. There is seventeen courses for this feast. Several people start dancing.
During the designated "father/daughter" dance, Robb and Jon ask Sansa and Arya to dance since their father is not here. I think its sweet. Sansa is smiling beautifully as Robb spins her around. Little Arya looks happy to get this moment with Jon. I look over at Margaery who is happy in her father's arms.
After that I ask my beloved to dance with me. He is swept off his feet. Loras and I dance like we're making love, nice and slow, with out bodies touching and our hearts pounding.
"I love you," Loras says.
"I love you, my flower."
"Are you going to call me that forever?"
"Yes."
"Good," says Loras.
I laugh and kiss him. He kisses me back snd we finish our dance and then ask other people to dance. I ask my lovely new sister. Margaery is beaming.
"You're so beautiful," I tell her.
"Thank you, Renly."
Margaery lets me kiss her cheek. I am so excited. I have a new sister. I could just squeeze her. I finally have a shopping partner.
I dance with Brienne. For some reason she still seems sad. I kiss her cheek. She turns red. Oh, so that's how it is?
I feel a tap on my shoulder. I release Brienne and see Arya. I realize she is trying to ask me to dance. I partner with her happily.
"I guess I don't need to protect him anymore," she says about Loras.
"I guess you don't. Thanks for keeping an eye on him," I tell her.
"He means a lot to us."
I smile. My flower is dancing with his mother. Thats almost too adorable for words. But what's better is Robb dancing with Loras's grandmother. The old woman has her hand on his ass. When she grabs his crotch he backs away.
Loras and Robb dance. Its more like Loras forced him. I ask my mother-in-law to dance. We don't speak as we share a dance. I have to take a break for a while. I sit down at my table and I am offered wine. I down a glass.
Loras joins me at the table. I notice several of our friends are missing. Jon and Satin are no where to be found. Robb and Meera have disappeared too. Willas has snuck off with a guest and I spot Aegon dragging a girl who isn't Margaery towards the elevator.
"Let's go," I tell Loras.
"Okay," he says. I take his hand. I request the keys to our newlywed suite. Loras and I take the elevator to it. I pick him up and carry him to the room. The bed is heart shaped. I toss him down on it.
"Wait," says Loras. He takes his crown and gently lays it on the table beside the bed. He puts his rose down. "Now I'm ready."
I toss my crown aside and begin removing Loras's clothes. I waste no time. We haven't fucked since Valentine's Day. I devour Loras's lips with mine. His taste is so delicious it makes me hard instantly. But my flower is stubborn, he wants to be properly heated up.
I rub my groin against him and he gasps. I bite his neck and he digs his nails into back and screams into my shoulder. I bite hard enough to draw blood. Loras licks my neck in turn. The biting is enough to get him started.
I make it last. I want him badly, but we have nothing but time. Loras responds to me. Our bodies work together for pleasure. I release my seed inside him after one final thrust.
"Never make me wait six months for sex," I tell him.
"It was four months and you lost. Now you have to do what I want in bed." I nibble on his nipples.
"I can do that, just not tonight. Tonight, you're all mine."
Loras seems okay with the possessiveness behind my words. He gives himself to me. I tickle him and he slaps me. I smile. I knew he would do that.
"No," says Loras, "Not tonight."
I tickle him again. He slaps me again, but even he can't stop the smile on his face. I tickle him until he laughs. He gasps for breath between laughing. I notice he's hard again, so while he tries to catch his breath I decide to tickle something else.
And this our night. Feast be damned. Loras and I are starting our life together tomorrow, but not tonight. Tonight is special. Tonight is ours.
