Jailed My Heart (A Wardenler Fanfic)

Till Death do Us Part

Onceler stood at the edge of the stand. He straightened his tie and looked at the time. Not too fast or too slow. Everything was running perfectly. He worried too much. He looked up with a confident smile.

"You'll see mom, you'll see just how happy he's made me. Just you wait." He smiled and headed out towards the stand at the edge of the walkway. It had seemed he heard a voice that sounded so familiar to him.

"You done good beanpole."

Onceler froze. He put his hand on the wall and looked behind him. It was exactly who he heard.

"Peanut?" Onceler said looking at him. The Lorax had only responded with a small smile and shrugged. "Guess the one and only."

Onceler found himself and his eyes watering in joy. He bent down on his knees and hugged him happily. The Lorax returned his gratitude as he held him. "Hey, I think you grew a few inches while you were gone."

Onceler smiled and wiped his eyes off looking at him. The Lorax raised his eyebrow smiling and helped wiped off his cheeks. "Cmon don't cry over someone like me, the place looks nice."

"Thank you Lorax." Onceler said and stood up smiling, towering over The Lorax in comparison.

"So guess you're gonna be a married man today." The Lorax said smiling.

"Terrified but yes. I'm not scared of the commitment. He's a good man."

"Well I wish the best for you. I'll be watching if you need me." The Lorax winked and smiled walking out towards the stands. Onceler put his hand to his chest and smiled gently happily. He walked towards the edge of the stand where he could see his parents and family, along with the Lorax and a few forest friends of his as he waved. They all waved happily back at him in returned, but revived weird looks and remarks from Onceler's family.

On the other side he saw Alice and Jared, as they both sat waiting. Onceler looked at the chair his father was in, and back to the same empty chair on Wardens side. He realized Warden didn't have parents, or at least his father wasn't alive anymore. He wondered what his father was like. Warden never spoke of his parents too often, just the sad depressing photos laid over Superjail.

At the edge Warden stood shaking. He didn't know why, but his shivering increased as he stood waiting for the music to play. Jared gave him a thumbs up before Warden smiled back nervously in return. He looked down for a second and remembered the harsh words his father told him. About his appearance especially, wearing the glasses to hide what he felt about himself. He took them off his face and folded them.

"Not today" he said. He put them in his pocket and smiled looking up confidently without them on his eyes. Everything seemed more clear, and more precise. He heard the music play as he walked towards the man he adored.

Onceler smiled gently back as he held Wardens hands happily and talked onto the side of his head.

"You look better with them off..." he said. Warden smiled gently grinning down at Onceler's hands as the wedding seemed to go on with its normal ceremony. The fact their wedding was outside made the veil breathtaking, but once again.

Exposed.

The commander chief to defend from Superjail had never seen such a place. This place was surrounded by forests which explained why.

"You found The Warden here sir?"

"That tracking device we put on him leads him right there-"

He pointed silently at Warden, who held Onceler's hands.
