6 - Windows of Love

I wish you could see yourself with my eyes. How I see and find you the most beautiful person I ever met. You could see the way I drown in your eyes, every time you talk, the way I fall in love with you a little more every time I see you. How scared I am to lose but at the same time to keep you. You are the most precious gem in my life. The way you get excited by little things, your cute little smile that turns your eyes in the shape of a crescent moon enough to melt my heart again and again. Your innocence, your pure smile. I wish you could see yourself with my eyes. 

- Bright

Win and Bright stood together before the altar in the confided venue with limited people. David sat in the guest and sighed seeing Win actually getting married. Till a day before he still thought Win was just making things up, but seeing the pictures of them on display and now standing together as grooms holding each other's hand and exchanging their vows broke David's every hope. He knew he lost one of the best employees he could have in the full package department, he cursed at the day he added that clause to the contract. He has to reject multiple clients who wanted Metawin for the full package.

Bright looked around and could see no one whom he could call his family in the few people present in the guest. Tears welled up in his eyes remembering the moment he told his mom that he was getting married and can she be present there for him. But his mom was not in her senses to understand what her son meant, so she drank another bottle wishing him all the best, and passed out. Currently, she is sleeping in her room and her caretaker is keeping an eye on her so that she doesn't go out in this condition.

Win notices Bright's eyes glistening, he squeezes his hand firmly and Bright looks at him. Win smiles and signals to him with his eyes that he is here, however, he wants him to be, either a friend or family. Husband is just a tag and nothing is going to change between them unless Bright wants to. Bright smiles understanding and squeezes his hand back. 

"Before God, the officiant, our friends, family, and witnesses, I choose Metawin to be my husband. I vow to be faithful in all circumstances, to cherish and respect him." Bright wanted to add more, he wanted to add forever, he wanted to add the rest of the future too, but he knew his limit so he stopped there and smiled painfully looking at Win.

"Before God, the officiant, our friends, family, and witnesses, I choose Vachirawit Chivaaree to be my husband. I vow to be faithful in all circumstances and to cherish and respect him. And I promise to be with you in every thick and thin till the day I breathe my last." Added Win at last, and it wasn't a lie, what if he can't be the lover, he will still be Bright's friend in every thick and thin.

Win also added something he couldn't say to Bright loudly but added in his heart –

'I will be the warmth you crave for in winter, I'll be the tiny droplets you will be ready to soak in. I'll be the flowers in your bouquets, a symbol of love and care. I'll be the part of your story, I'll be your protagonist. I'll be the one you'll always find standing next to you, even though you don't look for me.'

As they exchanged their wedding rings teary-eyed, they were pronounced as a lawfully wedded couple. Bright didn't know that he was getting a big family in Win, a friend, a lover, and a loving husband. He didn't know he was all in one package. Win never had parents, in the name of family he just had his friends cum siblings, he grew up with in the orphanage.

So, he knew the importance of family, and he knew Bright was craving for one because he had them still he didn't have them. There was a difference in their situation, Win at least knows he doesn't have anyone blood-related, but Bright knows he has people around but one is a monster and one doesn't even care about him anymore.
