Domestication in love

Remember Nebraska

they're sitting around a bond fire in the backyard. all drinking and talking about this or that. Cade had been welcomed with open arms after telling an embarrassing story about his lover.

Bumblebee isn't sure when the conversation turned to weddings, but suddenly his dads are talking about their wedding.

"yeah but we had the cutest little ring bearer. MIchael was just learning to walk back then. just about tumbled onto his face when he dropped one of the rings." Wheeljack chuckles softly.

"and remember when he stood up in the middle of the vows when he stood up and screamed he had to go to the bathroom?" Ratchet snorts. "DADDYYYY!!! I HAVE TO POTTY!!!!!" the entire audience had laughed while Orion had quickly moved out of place as Rafael's best man and quickly taken the child to the bathroom.

"I was like two." Bumblebee huffs. he's pouting and his face is a bright red. Sam chuckles softly beside him.

"I couldn't keep my shit together and I almost passed out right there trying not to laugh!" Ironhide laughs. Will chuckles at him a moment.

"we didn't have a ring bearer." Will says, thoughtfully. Ironhide frowns holding him gently.

"there was a lot of things we didn't have." Ironhide frowns a little.

"hey, uh, speaking of your wedding, how come I wasn't allowed? I was like 5 when you guys got married and I never got to meet Will until I was 10." Bumblebee frowns. his fathers, Will and Liam, and Orion go quiet instantly. "did... did I say the wrong thing?" Bumblebee asks.

"nah, you're curious Michael." Ironhide murmurs, though his hand squeezes Wills thigh hard.

"wait you weren't at the wedding?" Cade asks, curiously. "I thought you were their nephew." he frowns, sipping his beer.

"we should talk about something else now." Orion says firmly. everyone looks over at his tone.

"I don't get it, whats wrong? you guys always talk about your wedding in a happy tone." Bumblebee says, confused.

"no. kids curious. he's got a right to know." Will frowns a little, leaning against his husband. Ironhide looks at him before sighing. "it is a happy memory now, don't get us wrong, but it wasn't always that way." Will sighs.

"alright, so we'll skip the unimportant stuff and go straight to the wedding. it was December 16th and the was a fresh blanket of snow on the ground." Ironhide starts.

"and we were in Nebraska." Will says. "I didn't really have any friends of my own... so Liams friends kinda became mine." Will murmurs.

Will stares in the mirror nervous, before turning to look at Wheeljack and Jasper.

"am I sure I want to do this? I'm only 17..." Will murmurs. Wheeljack snorts, reaching out to adjust his white bow tie. Will stares at him nervously.

"oh come on, you and Liam are literally meant to be." Wheeljack murmurs. "like me and Rafael." he chuckles softly.

"how can you be sure?" Will ask.

"oh come on. yer meant t' be." Jasper chuckles softly, fiddling with the radio. "I've never seen a happier couple than you two. well, 'cept Raffie and Jackie." Jasper chuckles. Wheeljack rolls his eyes.

"I mean, you mentioned once that you wanted a winter wedding in the middle of a snow storm and Liam immediately brought you a list of states. you chose Nebraska so he set up a wedding for you two." Wheeljack chuckles. "try not to panic so hard. don't you remember giving me a speech like this when Ratch and I got married last year?" Wheeljack chuckles.
