4 years later.
The wind blows strongly, lifting up stray flowers from the floor and swirling them around the couple at the altar. The two men stand in front of the priest with happy smiles and eyes shining with love and affection. Zayn can't help but feel a swell of pride as he looks at the man he loves, the man of his dreams and Niall can't help but blush at the smoldering look he is receiving.
" I, Zayn, take thee Niall to my wedded husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part." Zayn's raspy voice seems to echo off the glass walls of the outdoor church, his hands are tightly grasping at Nialls, hoping his nervousness doesn't show. Nobody sees the raging fire behind his eyes, nobody sees how truly happy Zayn is. He has never felt like this before and he hopes that the feeling sticks with him.
Niall smiles softly, feeling the exact same thing as Zayn. The Priest nods at Niall to repeat the words that Zayn had just said. But Niall never likes to stick to the books and decides to mess it up, make it sound more like himself.
"I, Niall, take you Zayn to be my wedded husband. To have, to hold from now until forever - for better or worse, from starving until we have full bellies, from sick to healthy. To love, to fuck, until death tears us apart."
The room full of guests all have different reactions, those who know of Niall's potty mouth and accept him have to stop themselves from snorting or laughing out loud. Some faces show shock, some are a little taken back - but none of that matters to Niall. All that matters is the wide smile on Zayn's face.
The priest, who happens to be Nialls uncle and was expecting that - waves his hand behind Zayn and calls forth Louis, Zayn's best man. Louis then produces a pillow with two silver shining rings.
Zayn picks up the ring on the left that has his name branded on it, he picks up Niall's left hand and slips the ring onto his finger.
"With this ring, I thee wed." He murmurs, smiling widely as he looks into his lovers eyes.
Niall then reaches over and take the ring with his name branded on it and slips it onto Zayn's hand.
"With this ring, I make you my bitch." Niall replies, smiling back. More laughter around the room, because they all know exactly how true that statement is. Zayn practically always bows at Niall's feet, not caring of what others think. He loves and worships the ground Niall walks on, Niall of course feels the same, but he isn't as honest with his feelings as Zayn.
"I now pronounce you man and man, you may kiss the husband." The priest holds up his hands and walks away, shaking his head and glad to be done with this comical joining of the two lovebirds.
The room goes up in applause, Louis and Harry pat the couple on the back - their own wedding rings glistening in the light. The little flower girl walks up the Isle and smile at the couple.
"Uncle Zayn, Uncle Niall, cone-grat-u-laytens." She mispronounces, hugging tightly to her curly headed father. Louis picks the little girl up and pushes her pretty brown hair back.
"Thank you, Lilith." Zayn smiles, pinching her cheek. "I'm glad you could make it in time for the wedding."
Louis and Harry got married the same day they graduated highschool, they didn't make a scene out of it. They got their diplomas and then went straight to the court and filled out the papers. Then they hired a surrogate mom, Harry is the biological father whose sperm was injected into the pretty woman who has Louis' eyes. They had some complications, the mom didn't really want to give up the little girl - they then had to fight it through court and now little Lily is already three years old. Zayn is happy she was able to finally be in the arms of the two men who wanted her more than anything.
"Niall?"
Even though Niall was the only one the voice called out to, all four boys turn to almost unfamiliar man.
Standing there is Liam, who in the last four years has gained more weight and became more healthy looking. He has a beautiful woman on his arm and he looks happier then anyone could remember.
"Liam." Niall smiles, walking over to his old friend. "I'm glad you could make it."
"I wouldn't miss it for the world, not after everything you've done for me."
You see, four years ago after the huge fight with Zayn, Liam took to Niall's words and went to get help. Nobody knew that Liam had become addicted to alcohol in the months leading up to that day. He went into rehab for both Alcoholism and for emotional reasons; he picked his life up from the dirt and has made his life livable again. He no longer looks back at Lily and feel sad, he just looks at them as all happy memories. This was all thanks to Niall, his best mate, the person who unknowingly saved his life.
Zayn stands in front of Niall, blocking him off from Liam. They have a harmless stare down before Zayn cracks a smile and holds out his own hand. The two of them shake on it and every bad thing they have felt or said about each other flew out the window and they make amends. A clean slate. Louis and Harry follow the example and forgive Liam as well, knowing that he is a changed man. The three of them walk off to the bar, along with Liam's new girlfriend, leaving the newlywed couple alone at last.
Niall looks up at the man he married, his mind flashes to everything they went though and can't help but feel relieved that they are finally together. Happy that they can continue their lives, connected.
"I love you." Niall reaches up and kisses Zayn on the cheek.
"I love you too." Was the reply he received, something he would never grow tired of.
And with that, the story comes to a close. Thank you all who have stuck by and read this story, I love you all so much & I'm glad I could write something you enjoyed. <3 & I'm sorry, but I wont be writing a sequel.
