Shartos Drabbles and Oneshots

Here Comes the Groom

Sharrkan let out a long sigh as Spartos settled into bed beside him, resting his head on his chest. Sharrkan wrapped an arm around his shoulders.

"Tomorrow's the big day, huh?" He said, rubbing his tattoo'd arm gently.

Spartos hummed softly in response, a smile gracing his lips. "Yeah, it is." He snuggled a little closer to him. "You nervous?"

Sharrkan snorted. "No. I've waited too fucking long."

Spartos chuckled. "So impatient."

"Well, yeah. Who wouldn't be dying to call you their husband?"

Spartos flushed, but smiled nonetheless. "Yeah? Then what about you, hm? I'm sure there's a whole parade of people just waiting for an opportunity to get at you."

Sharrkan snorted again and turned on his side, still holding his fiance in his arms. "How disappointed they'll be when they realize I don't have eyes for anyone but you."

"What if I die?"

"Don't say depressing things like that before our wedding day!"

"I'm just asking." Spartos shrugged. "It's just something to think about."

"I would never remarry."

Spartos scoffed. "Please."

"I'm serious!" Sharrkan flipped up to loom over the redhead, his hands on either side of his head. "Before I realized I was in love with you, I had no interest at all in actually loving and getting married and starting a family. I didn't have an interest in really getting to know someone, or doing the randomest, corniest stuff just to see someone smile. But you, Spartos. You-" He paused to brush his lips over his cheek. "I want to do all of that with you. I want to marry you, and be the best fucking husband I can be because that's what you deserve. And I want to have a family with you- even if it's not biologically. I want to grow old with you, and never let you go. So if you died on me- I'd never get over it. I'd never remarry or anything."

Spartos seemed shocked by the sudden confession, but smiled at him- almost on the verge of tears at Sharrkan's uncharacteristically sweet words. He wrapped his arms around him, pressing a gentle, loving kiss to his jaw. "That was incredibly corny." He teased. "But sweet."

Sharrkan grinned lightly. "Well, you didn't give me the chance to say it when I actually proposed."

"Well, I'm glad you said it. But now what are you going to say tomorrow in your vows?"

"The same thing. Only everyone else will hear it." He nuzzled his nose against his cheek lovingly.

"You'll make me cry." He rubbed his back gently, pouting playfully.

"Good. It won't be special if you don't."

"Of course it'll still be special. They're your wedding vows."

"Yeah, but it'll be better if I actually made you cry."

Spartos rolled his eyes. "You're impossible."

"You love me."

"I wouldn't be marrying you otherwise."

++++++++++++++++++++

"You're gonna make me cry!" Pisti exclaimed, practically throwing herself at Spartos, who just barely managed to catch her.

"Wha- I haven't even said anything yet!" The redhead replied, blinking.

"No, but you just /look/-"

"Amazing." Sharrkan interrupted, tugging on his jacket as he entered the room.
