Luke - Wedding Day

Listen to the first song. It's so freaking BEAUTIFUL

***

Luke's Route

Luke had never thought this day would come, though he wished and prayed for it, the moment he met you. He never thought that you would return his feelings.

He remembers so clearly the day he proposed to you.

He had made a scavenger hunt to lead you through the places you two had precious memories. From your parents home, to Penny's Comfort Food where you reunited for the first time in 8 years. Winnie had given you a letter that led you to Aaron, who led you to your old high school. You weaved in and out of empty classrooms, until you heard the chirp of a bird. Peanut, who guided you to the garden.

It was a bright and sunny day, white flower petals created a path towards Luke who stood behind the old tree you two would sit under during lunch. Sometimes, Luke would fall asleep next to you reading books, until the bell rang and you had to go back to class.

"I found you!" You said, smiling as you tugged his shirt.

"I knew you would, my Watson." He said, his eyes held a soft gaze that was only reserved for you. You didn't know that the ring he had crafted for you for 8 years was hidden behind his back.

"It's tomorrow, isn't it." He says to himself. As he looks at your sleeping face, strands of your hair cover your face, tickling your nose. He smiles as he pushes it behind your ear. You stir slightly in your sleep, moving closer to Luke nuzzling into his chest.

Luke hums a lullaby to you, "twinkle twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are." He pulls you into his arms, as he whispers to himself. "Tomorrow, you'll be all mine..."

...

"I'm getting married today!" You say nervously as you look in the mirror, your white dress cascades down your body donning pink jewels, just like your ring.

"Don't be nervous, you look beautiful today, Rosa." Celestine says.

"I agree! Everyone is going to be captivated by you! Especially Luke." Kiki says.

"Thank you, you two. I'm happy that I have you two here with me today."

"The groom is coming in!"

"Wait what! Already?" You say panicked.

Usually you wouldn't be this nervous around Luke. You could always count for him to be someone you could be completely comfortable around. Yet maybe it's because today is so special you want to look extra beautiful in his eyes.

As you try and fix your veil in front of the mirror as the girls step out silently. Giving Luke a thumbs up on their way out.

He takes a deep breath as he enters the room. A soft glow lights you up as if you're the sun. He stops in place right behind you, as you notice him.

"Eh, y-you're here already. I thought you would be coming a bit later since..."

Luke watches your animated expressions, unable to hear a word you say. When you finally notice his silence, you look at him, noticing tears coming down his face.

"Watson," he says, his voice low and deep. "I'm not dreaming, am I? Please tell me I'm not."

You sigh softly, as you put your hands on his cheeks, bringing him closer to you.

"No, this isn't a dream. I'm really here.."

"And here I thought I would be a crying mess." You bump your heads together gently, as you both chuckle.

"Are you ready to walk down that aisle, my Watson?" He asks you.

"As long as you're the one there waiting for me, my Sherlock."

For a moment, Luke holds you tightly. His sunshine scent calms your nerves as all the emotions you've ever had, sit comfortably in the air. A knock at the door interrupts the silence.

"I'll see you soon." he says, letting you go after one more tight squeeze.

* * *

The large doors open up in front of you as the song for your entrance plays. As you grip your bouquet tightly, you notice all your friends and even old clients who give you big smiles as you look around.

Then, your eyes finally lock onto him. Luke smiles as his eyes start to glisten, he takes your hand as you two stand in front of the priest. You hand your bouquet to Celestine who's behind you.

Luke can't help but gasp when he lifts your veil. Your green eyes shimmer like jewels as you look at him. As the priest starts his speech, you chuckle slightly as you wipe the tears that stream down his face.

"And now for the vows."

"I remember when we were kids, I promised to marry you, I promised that I would always be there for you, and protect you. Though I couldn't always keep that promise in the past, I can promise that I will always love you, more than anything in the world." Your heart swells as he speaks these words.

"I promise that I will cherish every waking moment we have together, in sickness and in health, I promise that you will always be mine. I promised to marry you when we were kids, but now," he laughs as he caresses your hand. "Now you'll take my last name...forever."

Luke seemed to look all blurry, but maybe it was because of the warm tears that streamed down your face. Yor makeup was probably ruined, but it didn't matter.

"You never give yourself enough credit," you say as the crowd laughs. "Luke, I've never dreamed of being anywhere other than by your side. You always were right there, the man I could rely on, whether it'd be solving cases, or trying to cook Tangerine Crab. I'm glad to be your Watson." You tell him.

"I promise to always be there by your side, that as I share your last name, that you share with me a life no matter how long. That you'll let me share your burdens, and your hopes. I promise to be yours, and that you'll always be my Sherlock."

"I love you." You tell him.

Nothing in the room mattered, it was as if it all faded away and you two were the only ones left in the world.

You both hear the priest who lets Luke know that it was now ok to kiss you, but he was already a step ahead of him.

Luke cups your face as he pulls you closer, pressing his lips to yours, his kiss is like a love poem, a deep yearning, a melody for future memories as you deepen it, licking his lip wanting every part of him in this moment. He whispers sweet nothings into you, as you break away hearing a sea of claps from the crowd. Your eyes are closed as your foreheads touch each other.

Luke whispers to you, "aqui te amo."

Love is never so easy, yet you both know that no matter what happens, this love will last forever.

"I love you."
