Adam and Jacob

Kiss The Groom

Adam didn't want to. If anything, this was the worst possible thing that could have happened to him. "Why are we doing this again?"

Jacob chuckled and kissed his cheek, then his lips. "Wedding superstition. We have to sleep apart the night before."

He tried to be mature about it, but his eyes watered. His lips curled in and they shared a quick giggle. "I can't believe this is happening. We're getting married tomorrow."

"We won't see each other for..." Adam watched in wonder as his supercomputer husband calculated the time. "18 hours give or take."

Adam slumped against him. "That's too many hours."

"I know." Jacob sighed as his phone rang and he frowned. "I have to go, Just Call Me Liz and Friends are taking me to the hotel they rented so they can terrorize me to sleep."

Adam couldn't help his giggle. "It's your fault for waiting so long for a bachelor party. They've been here a week, got you fucked up the first night, and have done nothing but that. But they promised not to have you hungover at our wedding." He kissed him tenderly and rested his forehead on his. "I know you'll have fun."

The second Jacob left, Adam banged his head against the wall and turned to see his very best friend smirking at him.

"You love him!" Cassandra cried giddily. She then started making kissy faces and swooning. "Oh, Jacob," She crooned as she lowered her voice to mock him. "My manly urges are coming to light! I can't wait to marry the fuck out of you! Terfs can cope and seethe!"

Adam laughed and crashed on the bed. "That's enough, Cass. You're so ridiculous."

"Ridiculous is crazy," She deadpanned as if she were hurt. "I'm so happy for you! You look sooooo handsome!"

He snorted as she climbed onto the bed and swung her feet back and forth like this was one of her girly little sleepover parties she was always inviting him to. "So...?"

He fought off the smile as best he could and kept his eyes on the TV. "So what?"

"Are you excited?" Her big goofy smile and little happy dance just pulled the laughter from him without consent. "I know you're excited!"

Adam flopped over and groaned, "I'm so excited. Remember when we said we'd never find anyone?"

She scoffed and batted at his leg. "Shut up, you were always fine and you knew it!" Her finger twirled a braid around it. "When you started growing that beard I was like, goddamn boy! He's a whole man now!"

Adam smiled and scratched at the now clean shaven area subconsciously. "I was so excited when I noticed the pedostache," He belly laughed.

She gasped and waved her hands through the air to erase the memory. "I was concerned, boy! My first thought when you showed up at my door unannounced was you was about to tell me what house you lived in."

He rolled his eyes. "It wasn't that bad."

"You started crying and I was just, 'Serves you right, fucking creeps showing up at my door' and then you smiled and I was so shocked!" She squealed and climbed over him to grab the takeout menu. "Let's smoke weed and talk shit."

Adam grinned even bigger. "I knew you were my best friend for a reason. Chinese?"

"Korean," She corrected emphatically. "But you have to order it in Korean." She handed him the phone and sat politely, a dreamy look on her face. "Okay, I'm ready."

He sighed as if she were annoying him and dialed the number. "좋은 저녁입니다. 배달을 위해 주문하고 싶어요."

Cassandra pretended to blush and fanned her face dramatically. "Ugh, Korean inflections are so sexy. Dallas talks dirty to me in Korean, you know, and—,"
