Eternal Love: A Milarion Fanfic

Chapter 7

Trigger warning for self harm midway through the chapter. SH part has a separate warning before it if you want to read the rest of the chapter but skip that part.

They got back on Hercules and flew to the library to go tell Dewey. They walked in and yelled at him until he came out and said,
"I'm right here! You guys can stop yelling."
"Merry christmas to you too." Milori joked
"I'm sorry. Merry Christmas. What can I do for you?"
"We have something to show you," Clarion said
"Well, what is it?"
"This." She held up her left hand flashing the large diamond that now rested there above her promise ring.
"Congratulations!"
"Thank you."
"And, I wanted to ask you if you'll be my best man at our wedding," said Milori.
"I don't know guys. That's kind of a lot."
"Would it help if I told you that I'm planning on asking Mary to be my maid of honor?"
"I'll do it!" He said suddenly eager. Clarion and Milori exchanged a knowing look. Dewey and Mary had had crushes on each other for a while now and Clarion and Milori knew it. Both agreed that their best friends would be perfect for each other and having Dewey escort Mary at the wedding was a perfect opportunity for both of them.
"Awesome. Thanks Dewey!" said Milori
"You're the best." said Clarion
"You're welcome guys. Congrats again."
"Thank you." They walked out hand in hand and got back onto Hercules. Clarion suggested that they go tell Mary, sunny and the guys which prompted Milori to ask why she didn't just text them.
"Hyacinth. I don't want him finding out at the same time as the public and I don't want him finding out over text. It's going to crush him either way but I care about him enough to not do that to him over text."
"I suppose that makes sense. You know him better than I do so whatever you think is best."
"Let's go to Mary's first."
"Okay."
Mary was over the moon excited and was more than happy to be the maid of honor and Sunny was also super happy for her friend. Red was, Red about it. He congratulated his friends and agreed to be in the wedding party out of respect for protocol and tradition which dictated that the ministers of the seasons were to be a part of the royal wedding. Then it was time for the most nerve wracking part. Telling Hyacinth. Clarion and Milori stood outside of Hyacinth's house and knocked on the door. When Hyacinth answered the door he looked right into Milori's eyes and said
"Go away. I don't want you in my house."
"Hyacinth, you know this already. Wherever I go, he goes," said Clarion
"I don't care. Clarion, you can come in but I don't want him coming with you."
"Then neither of us will come in. We can have this conversation right here. There's no way for me to sugarcoat this or say it in a way that's not going to hurt you so I'll just cut to the chase. Milori and I are engaged."
"No. you're lying. There's no way."
"Hyacinth, do you really think I would lie to you about this? I'm telling the truth." She flashed her ring at him and said "I'm not lying. We're going to be married."
"But... you're supposed to be mine. You're supposed to marry me! Not him!"
"Hyacinth, you know I don't live my life in the realm of supposed to. I never have. I follow my heart. I always have. You and I were never supposed to be anything. We never were anything and I'm sorry if I ever led you to believe otherwise but I'm choosing Milori. I've always chosen him and I always will." Hyacinth looked directly at Milori and mumbled
"I hate you."
"I'm sorry? You're going to have to speak up if you want to be heard."
"I hate you." He said louder "I hate you! I HATE YOU!!! YOU STOLE HER! YOU STOLE MY GIRL RIGHT OUT FROM UNDERNEATH ME!"
"Hyacinth, she was never yours. She's mine. She always has been and always will be."
"This won't last." He looked at Clarion and said "You'll realize everything that he can't give you and you'll come crawling back to me. And you." He turned to Milori "You can't give her what she needs. The pressure will get to you and you'll snap! You don't understand her people or our culture. You're a snowflake. The people won't accept you. They'll riot. They'll come for you and then we'll see how strong this "love" of yours really is. I'll be at your stupid wedding and in your stupid wedding party but only because it's protocol. Now go crawl back into whatever winter hole you crawled out of and leave me alone." he slammed the door shut and Clarion and Milori left.
