"david! david! i just heard, stay inside, don't do anything stupid for fucks sake" asher yelled into his phone, he was trying to get ahold of david, but was met with the lovely answering machine.
he practically zoomed down to david's place, not bothering to knock on the door. he flung it open, and ran upstairs, to see david, on his bed, just sitting. "david? buddy?" he questioned as he walked in. "can i sit?" david simply nodded. scooting over slightly to give asher space.
"he's gone, asher, I can't fucking believe it! i won't!" david screamed, crying into his hands, pulling at his hair. "oh, david, I know" asher choked up, resting his hand on david's back. pulling him into him, hugging him close. "I can't, I can't do this without him, ash, i cant fucking live without him, he's my BestFriend, and now he's gone!" david sobbed, the tears soaking into asher's shirt, he didn't care though.
he gently grabbed ahold of david's hand, holding them in his tightly. "buddy, I can't even sit here and begin to tell you how much this must fucking hurt, it's hurting me, but nowhere near as much as it's hurting you. but look at me" asher began, david moved his head up, looking into asher's eyes. "you're going to be ok. we're going to be ok. i will be here for you, anytime you need me, anytime you want me. i'm hear to listen to you breakdown, and then help you afterwards. i know how much you love your dad, but he'll never truly be gone. he's still here, he's watching you, david, you're going to make him so proud, so fucking proud. i love you david, we're going to get through this." asher finished.
"i-i, ash, i-, i just-" david began, but couldn't finish, he flung his arms around asher, holding onto him tight. no plans on letting go.

"I know why, you wanted to get married on this day, david, to make it a happier day. a day where you can focus on happy things, whilst also having the thought of your dad in mind. and i just know if he were here, he'd be busting some of his best moves on the dance floor. but, that's beside the point, i'm so proud of you, david. i'm so proud of how far you've come. you are genuinely the strongest person i have ever had the pleasure of knowing. it's an absolute pleasure getting to be your bestfriend, there's not a day that goes by where i take you for granted. i am so happy for you, you deserve this, more than anyone in the world. I love you, so much, buddy, always and forever" asher spoke, raising his glass in the air, a tear rolling down his cheek, as he sat down next to david.
"i love you, buddy" david spoke, and pulled asher into a hug. "i don't know what i would've done without you" he finished. angel and baabe smiled over at each other, tears filling their eyes. much like everyone else's in that room.
