Cassarian|| One Shots

8. ENGLISH

It's the big day for Cassandra and Varian.  Today they are getting married.  After years the dream of both of them to get married has come true and both are no longer in the skin.

  Cassandra is the more agitated of the two, so much so that, if usually Varian or Rapunzel can calm her down, this time Rapunzel and Varian can't.  Cassandra explicitly told Varian that they cannot be seen at all before she enters the church, and Varian, not content with not being able to see her lover, agreed anyway.

  Now the girl is in her room and with the help of her best friend and other girls she is getting ready. Suddenly her father enters.

  "Dad, nice to have you here." Cass hugs him with enthusiasm and affection.

  "Love, you- you are so beautiful" says her father as soon as they are released from the embrace and with tears in her eyes.

  "Thanks dad, but I'm not ready yet. There are so many things to prepare and.. and I'm in crisis" she confesses to her father.

  "But Cassandra, don't worry. Prepare calmly and as soon as you're ready I'll wait for you to take you to the altar"

  "Thanks dad" says the bride and a tear runs down her face.

  "Ah, I took a walk around Varian earlier, he's a lot more agitated than you are." The ex captain of the guard winks at Cass and walks out of the girl's room.

  "Come on Cass, they keep getting ready," Rapunzel suggests.

  "Okay," Cassandra nods.

  Meanwhile, Varian, as Cassandra's father said, is super agitated.

  "Hey, kid, take it easy. You're getting married today, you don't have to.. what was that proverb? You don't have to.."

  "Marry?"  Varian says helping his friend.

  "Oh yeah, that's it.. I'm sorry" Eugene says and continues "Listen Varian, I've been through it too. I was super agitated, but when I saw Rapunzel, well .. the whole world stopped and it was just me and  she"

  "You're too romantic," Varian says with a disgusted look.

  "I know you are too," Eugene countered.

  "Do you want to talk about romance or continue preparing?"  says Quirin, Varian's dad suddenly.

  "Oh, hello dad" says the son putting his hand behind his head in shame.

  "How are you?"  asks the father.

  "Well come on, I'm just agitated. Very agitated" he laughs hysterically.

  "Dude, calm down" Eugene puts his hands on the shoulders of Cassandra's future husband "Do it for the team Awesome" winks the captain of the guards.

  After both grooms are ready, Varian goes to church first to wait for his bride at the altar.

"Are you ready Cass?"  the friend asks.

  "I think so, Raps" Cassandra replies.

  "Then I'll go in first to sit next to Eugene, okay?"  the bride nods absently, while she waits for her father who has to accompany her to the altar.

  "I'm going, see you later" the queen greets her and enters the church.

  Cassandra finally sees her dad arrive.

  "Here I am, are you ready my daughter?"

  And with determination Cassandra answers "Yes".

  The music starts and the doors open, showing the Varian altar more beautiful than ever.

  Cassandra and her father walk slowly and when they finally reach the altar Varian smiles at his future wife and exclaims a "wow".

  Cassandra smiles at him and they join hands listening to the priest, but now for Varian there is only Cassandra in her beauty.  Both are lost in the eyes of the other, up to the promises.

  "I, Cassandra, take thee, Varian, as my rightful husband. To love and honor you, in health and in sickness, in wealth and poverty, until dead do us part" smiles the young woman at her almost husband.

  "I, Varian, take thee, Cassandra, as my rightful wife. To love and honor you, in health and in sickness, in wealth and poverty, until death do us part," says Varian smiling too.

  "Varian, you can kiss Cassandra"

  In front of all the people cheering and cheering them Varian gives Cassie a chaste kiss.  He takes her hand and they walk into the central aisle, while everyone throws rice for good luck.
