An Accidental Wedding

AN: Outfit above is the one Sherwin wears. Yeah. Pick the lipstick I guess?

"I said, 'when is the wedding?'" Lilly repeated, her blue eyes twinkling.

Jonathan chuckled. "Um... well, you see... I-"

"Today!" Sherwin interrupted. He glanced at Jonathan whom nodded quickly.

"Yes! Today, but we didn't want to miss the reunion."

Lilly pouted. "That's not fair! We should throw a wedding right here! I could call my priest friend and I have a friend that loves decorating and-"

"No, no!" Sherwin threw his hands up, trying to dismiss the idea from her head. "We wouldn't want to be a burden."

"Nonsense! I'm sure my friends won't mind!"

Sherwin clasped his together and smiled. "Great!" he turned to Jonathan to give him a nervous, wiggly smile. "Right, honey?"

Jonathan smiled -Is that a real smile? Is he happy about this? "Of course. Anything for you, Sherbert."

〰〰〰〰〰〰

Sherwin squirmed as his sister tried to do his make-up. "Can we not do this? I rather go in there all natural."

"Naked?"

"NO!" the ginger yelled, covering his red face. "I just want to go in there as me. The real me."

"Come on, Sherwin. You will look good in make-up."

The boy sighed. "Just lipstick, okay?"

"Yes sir, Mr. Harvel."

〰〰〰〰〰〰

Jonathan tried to ignore the eyes on him as he looked through his closet for the perfect suit. "Maybe I should just buy a new one. But we would have to postpone the wedding." he lowered his voice. "But that would break his heart."

"How about that one!" one of the girls' -Tulip maybe? He didn't really have time to learn names- said, pointing. He followed her point to a simple black suit.

"This one? It's nice but it's really... simple, and Sherwin is anything but." the girls 'awed' and his cheeks turned a tint darker. "I just want today to be perfect."

"Oh it will."

〰〰〰〰〰〰

Sherwin straightened his dress and frowned. "Shouldn't I be wearing a classic wedding dress?"

Lilly chuckled. "No! That's boring! Now stay still, I need to do your hair."

"My hair? What do you mean?"

Lilly grinned. "Have you ever straightened your hair before?"

"N-No."

"Well, it's long. And it will look so cute with the ends curled and brushed to the side!"

"Oh... okay. I would like to see that."

〰〰〰〰〰〰

"I said yes to lipstick but not to glitter!" Sherwin cried, trying to push Lilly away.

"Come on! Let me put glitter there! You will look so attractive with your glittering chest showing!"

The boy pouted. "I can't believe you talked me into wearing this!"

"Come on, Sherwin. Just some glitter there and under your eyes."

"My eyes?!" he cried like what she said was an outrage. "Never!"

"Fine... how about some blush?"

"I'll be blushing already."

〰〰〰〰〰〰

Sherwin looked like he owned the world when he walked down the aisle, his flats clicking against the tiles. Jonathan's eyes trailed from the boy's intense eyes to his plump lips. He found his eyes going lower; past the boy's choker and his glittery chest -his eyes lingered there a lot- to the boy's bare legs.

In that moment, one thought came to mind; why didn't I 'propose' sooner?

Unbeknownst to him, the ginger was mentally freaking out. He wasn't owning it inside. He didn't know how he got into this situation; overdressed for a wedding he didn't even mean to have and -the biggest thing- he was marrying his hot boss!

The ginger met Jonathan at the altar and took a deep breath. Here goes nothing.

Jonathan took the boy's hand and smiled. Here goes everything.

〰〰〰〰〰〰

Sherwin stood on the balcony, trying to stop the tears. Jonathan and him were married now.

His whole world was crashing down around him. He really liked his boss, but now he trapped the man in a marriage. I'm married to a man that doesn't even love me!

He felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned around to face Lilly. She held out her arms and he practically threw himself at her.

Oh did he spill the beans. He told her everything; how he lied about having a boyfriend, how he asked his boss to pretend to date him, how he wanted nothing more than to kiss Jonathan again.

He could still feel the kiss.

Jonathan cupped Sherwin's cheek, stroking his thumb across the boy's freckles. Sherwin brought his face closer, never breaking his gaze with those deep, blue eyes. Jonathan connected their lips in one swift motion.

Suddenly, there was fireworks lighting up in their hearts and minds, sending butterflies racing in their stomachs. When they parted, a comfortable silence came over them and for a second, they were the only ones in their own, private world.

Lilly wiped away his tears with a tissue. "Hey... If he didn't want to marry you, he wouldn't have agreed. And if he didn't like you, he wouldn't have helped you."

Sherwin nodded, letting out a quiet sniffle. "I-I guess you're right."

"I'm always right. Now go get your man." she said pushing him back into the room.

Sherwin found his new husband sitting alone at a table. He mustered enough courage -the little he had- and strut his way across the floor.

Jonathan looked up the moment he heard the boy's heels -if you can call them that. He smiled, then frowned when he noticed the dry tear marks. "Sherwin are you ok- eek!" his words turned to gibberish when the ginger sat right down on his lap. "I... um... you... heh."

Sherwin's little confident smirk, turned into a shy smile, making the air more comfortable. "Hi, Johnny."

"Hi, Sherbert."

"So... what happens now?"

"Well," Jonathan whispered, leaning closer. "You could move in with me."
