Red Letter Days

Untitled Part 6

Baekhyun's P.O.V

It was nearly late in the afternoon, 7:30 PM. It was barely getting to dark outside. I stood in the doorway of the backdoor, fiddling with a note card that had my wedding vows on front.  I looked out into the backyard; my family was to the right and Chanyeol was to the left. Chanyeol and I were expecting to walk out together in few minutes. "So how is it going to go down?", I hear Chanyeol behind me. "Horribly," I said sarcastically, turning around. Chanyeol stood before me in his suit, smelling stronly of cologne. Admittedly, he looked pretty okay... except for this whole tie situation."I mean, how are we going to act?"Chanyeol asked, undoing his tie. "Well after we...marry...just pretend you're my friend, but with more holding hands and kissing."I said quietly, stepping forward and  grabbing both ends of the tie. "Right, kissing...."Chanyeol muttered quietly while I tied the back fabrics of him.

I scoffed, taking mild offense, "Only because you have to, right?"Chanyeol nodded looking at the floor. "Only because I have to."I paused, so  he's not going to give the "I'd only kiss a fag if I had to"speech again. Hmmm... I wonder if--- just then the timer on my watch went off, signaling it was time for us to walk. I took a hold on Chanyeol'd hand and sighed, "Just promise me you won't freak out in front of everyone when you have to kiss me."Chanyeol didn't say anything, but instead started leading me outside. I put my best fake smile and hand-in-hand we walked through the aisle that separated our two families. I could feel everyone's eyes on me, either filled with happiness or disgust. By the time we were halfway to the podium with the officiant, my heart felt as if it would burst out of my chest and unto the grass, but still, I smiled. Breathing became much more difficult and and it was hard to control my apparent shaking, hopefully if anyone took notice they'd assume that I was excited. 

When were finally in front of the tall, elderly officiant and in front of everyone else, Chanyeol's grip tightened. I glanced to the side and studied Chanyeol's face; he looked pale and almost like he's going to faint. Chanyeol looked at me and smiled warmly, "Are we okay to start?"the officiant nodded and began the series of vows. "Do you Chanyeol and Baekhyun, pledge to create your lives together based on mutual respect, compassion, and patience towards each other as you grow together in the coming years? Chanyeol and I spoke in unison, "We do."

The white haired officiant carried on for a while longer before coming to a close, Chanyeol and Baekhyun if you will face each other please repeat after me when I look at you." The officiant waited as Chanyeol and I turned to face each other and then looked towards me, "Chanyeol, I give you my life. With all that I am and all that I have, I am your's. I looked in front of me at the person I had practically spent my entire life around; as much as we hate each other he's like metal and I'm the magnet. Some force keeps us together. "Chanyeol, I repeated, I give you my life. With all that I am and all that I have, I am yours. Chanyeol smirked at me as the officiant repeated his sentence from before. It was just like him to smirk to tease me at a time like this. 

Then Chanyeol spoke after, making a direct eye contact with me, "Baekhyun, I give you my life. With all that I am and all that I have, I am yours."

"If you have any vows, you may now read them," the old man smiled, showing a few missing teeth. Chanyeol pulled out from his pocket a note card, "Do you want to go first?" my face for some reason reddened and I squeaked out a, "Can you?"That made a few laugh from our family who overheard us. Chanyeol chuckled and nodded, "I, Chanyeol, pledge myself to you, Baekhyun, for as long as I live. What I possess in this world I give to you. I will keep and hold you, comfort and tend you, protect and shelter you, for all the days of my life. I promise to be patient and to remember that all things between us are rooted with love. I promise to nurture your dreams and to help you reach them, but most of all, I promise to share my whole heart with you. Chanyeol put back his note card in his pocket and still smirking, "Your turn. I was left speechless, so I reached for the words in my back pocket. I glanced at Chanyeol before reading, "Chanyeol, because of love, I vow to provide and support you. Together we will share worldly possessions and acquire knowledge, happiness and peace together. We will enjoy all the fruits of seasons and always remain friends, cherish each other in this life and next.... I promise you to give my heart and myself entirely."

The officiant smiled at us and said, I now pronounce thee married, you may now kiss." My heart pounded when Chanyeol leaned in, one of his hands gently cupping my face; his touch feels like electricity, causing me to shiver.  Everything seemed to move in slow motion. until his lips planted to mine.  SPARKS. SPARKS. SPARKS. EVERYWHERE. I kissed him back, blocking out from the hollering of the crowd. We kissed for a moment before Chanyeol pulled away, leaving my lips tingling and me..... Disappointed? Chanyeol pulled me into a hug and I hugged him back, hearing a quite.. GOOD JOB. "Does this means we can have cake now?"I asked when Chnayeol and I broke our embrace.

Chanyeol's P.O.V

I sat at the table, surrounded by my family and relatives that I didn't know. Baekhyun sat beside me paying attention to his cake than his new husband. He even had a smudge of blue and white icing on his cheek. My mom seemed to take notice because she kicked me in my leg, like she was signalling for us to be more affectionate. It really hurt. So I turned to Baekhyun who was licking some frosting off his spoon. I grabbed Baekhyun's plate and placed it on the other side of me. "What are you doing?" Baekhyun asked attempting to reach around me and grab the plate.

I grabbed Baekhyun's thin wrist ans speak, "I don't know, I just thought you could pay more attention to me rather than your cake." "That's ridiculous,"Baekhyun said quietly and tried to pull his wrist away. I smirked, noticing that the white and blue icing was still on his cheek his trying to pull them away. I stopped Baekhyun's resistance by leaning in and gently running my tongue across the sweet frosting on his cheek. He sat completely still, a bashful mess. I chuckled and put my arms around my husband's thin frame. I must have thrown him completely off guard because he was softly shaking and still blushing  when I pulled him into my side. I wondered if licking his cheek had simply embarrassed him or if he was blushing in a much sexier reason.

Whatever it was, I found it amusing. Each time someone asked  Baekhyun a question, he was shuttering a mess that got worse even when I watched him answer. Just a small lick and I had left my new husband dumbfounded; his reactions were much more satisfying than me simple pushing his buttons. If I pissed him off he could talk back to me, but it appeared as if when I made him nervous, he would be at a loss of words. I decided to test this theory by asking him a question myself, "Now that we're married, can we have a pet? like a dog? or maybe a cat?" As Baekhyun started to reply I placed my free hand on his thigh and rubbed it slowly. "Ooooh!..I love animals w-we s-should"Baekhyun looked down at my hand before squeaking, "We should get a dog." I grinned. "Yeah, I like dogs". 

Later 

It was finally dark out and everyone was wasted, including me. Nearly everyone was dancing except for the people that scattered the tables. For the first time all night, Baekhyun and I were alone. "How drunk are you?"Baekhyun asked, while I fiddled on of the buttons of his shirt's cuff. "Not that much," I said while resting my head on his shoulder, letting go of the tie. "You're lying,"Baekhyun spoke quietly, "You smelled like a mini bar." I shrugged, "Okay, sue me." 

I rested on his shoulder for a minute before seeing a flash. "How about a kiss for the camera?"The photographer asked when I sat up. I smiled and kissed Baekhyun before he could hesitate. His lips were very soft an sweet, unlike mine that probably tasted like beer. I felt that Baekhyun kissed back, causing me to smile into the kiss. Every now and then there was a flash, but I didn't really noticed when it stop completely because I was so captivated by the lips that ravished mine.
