Marry Me

Chapter Seven

Reiner
~
Marco and Jean would be arriving any minute... I was so happy for them. Two goofballs managed to form something that was unbreakable. I honestly admired their relationship, and especially once Bertholdt's memory was lost. I saw how much Jean cared and loved Marco, I know I needed to treat Bertholdt just like he treated Marco, even if he wasn't the same exact person. Jean and I have been friends for as long as Marco and Bert have been friends. I definitely knew when he fell in love because his demeanor changed so drastically when he met Marco, he acted like a love-struck puppy. He also reminded me a lot of myself when I met Bertl, matter a fact, I still do act like that.
Bertholdt was helping with the last bit of wedding decorations, suddenly excited about the wedding, which I'm glad he was. I didn't want to make the decision on my own, I just couldn't stand saying no, especially since they wanted it here so bad.
"How does this look?" Bertholdt gestured towards the makeshift aisle they made with white streamer, which actually doesn't look as bad as it sounds. We also brought a platform for the two to stand on, and the decorated all around it, making it really look like a... Very cheap and small wedding
I laughed and held my forehead, "This is what they wanted after all... I just hope its what they pictured."
Bertholdt soon laughed too and held my shoulder, "I don't think anyone would... But, it was their decision. Worst comes to worst, they'll just have to get married later."
I shook my head, "Actually... I think they'll love it... Jean never wanted a big huge wedding... He wanted something small, something that meant importance to both him and his partner... I think this was Jean's vision... And I think Marco wouldn't mind... I mean he's marrying him, he must have known that Jean wasn't a type for huge scenes. At least when it comes to marriage."
Bertholdt nodded and smiled, "Now that you mention it... I think Marco will love it too.."
..
We had everything ready, the door, the 'alter', even the cake which was very hard to find at the last minute. Bertholdt and I were snuggled up waiting for the engaged couple to arrive.
I kissed his head softly and smiled, "I can't wait until our wedding..." Bertholdt blushed and nodded, "Me too, Reiner.."
All this stuff with Marco and Jean... Everything before with Bertholdt, and now he's back and healed... It feels like everything was going right, perfect. I couldn't help but feel thankful, that I was able to meet such a wonderful man and keep him in my arms like this.
Just then, we heard a familiar knock and I slowly got out of Bert's embrace to head for the door. Once opened, I saw the two not even dressed, still in their PJs and both of their eyes were closed shut. I chuckled and shook my head, "Guys, what's up?"
Marco quickly kissed Jean's cheek before running into the house, that's when I noticed the fancy suit in his hands. Marco, tripping over himself, made it into the bathroom and shut the door. Bertholt looked bewildered and I too began to feel the same. Jean smiled and rubbed his head, his eyes remaining closed.
"Marco has a thing where it is bad luck to see the bride- er, groom before the wedding. You know the old saying..."
"Yeah.. just didn't know you guys believed in that" I spoke to Jean, trying to hold back a laugh from how crazy this whole thing was, he fact that he wouldn't even get in proper clothes was hilarious. But I understand Marco and Jean's worry, any chance of bad luck is terrible, even if the causes are a little crazy.
Jean nodded shyly and waited patiently for Marco, then I sighed and quickly grabbed his arm, "Come on, you can get dressed in my room man." Jean's face lit up and walked with me as he carried his own suit; at the same time, I peeked over at Bertl who was entering the same bathroom Marco was in, most likely helping Marco get ready. Bertholdt already told me that Marco was nervous about the wedding; could only imagine how he's feeling now that it's happening now...

Bertholdt
"Okay okay, shhhh.. you look great man don't stress!" I said for the hundredth time to Marco, who was beginning to sweat and look like he was on the verge of tears
"Oh God! Bert, what if I trip? What if I stutter? What if I drop the ring before I put it on his finger!? Wha-" I quickly put my hand over the freckled boy's mouth and shushed him again, "Marco.. everything will be perfect. Jean loves you for you! Even if you would.." Marco's eyes widened and a muffled noise was heard, "Shush! If something embarrassing would happen, you think Jean would blame you?" Marco slowly shook his head. "You're right, he wouldn't. Marco this guy loves you so much, you could do anything and he would still consider this the best day of his life... after all, would you do the same for him?" Marco agreed with another shake of his head, "Good! Now get out there and marry the love of your life okay?" I removed my hand and saw Marco's smile, guess my pep talk actually did some good! The shorter male hugged me tight and muttered a soft 'thank you'
"Its no problem.. I know you'd do the same for me, Marco." He pulled back and nodded, a smile now forming on both of our faces. I headed out to see if Jean was ready and already saw him at the end of the aisle. Marco's parents, Jean's parents and some of their friends were also waiting in the chairs. I guess Marco can come out? Reiner walked up to me and giggled cutely, laying a small peck on my cheek.
"This is the most ghetto but cutest wedding in history." I laughed in agreement and laid my head on his shoulder, "and soon it will be our turn Bertl..."
I blushed a dark red and nodded, slowly kissing his lips as I held him close. I heard a whisper and realized it was Marco and that caused Reiner to giggle again and nod, "You go with Marco, I'll make sure Jean is still breathing." I nodded and pecked his lips again before running over to my friend.
Third-person pov
Soon the wedding was beginning and Reiner began to play the soft music, signaling Marco cue. Jean played with the collar of his shirt at the end of the aisle, anxiously awaiting his fiance. Bertholdt guided his flustered friend to the alter and Jean's eyes widened. Marco looked beautiful, absolutely perfect. Yet Jean had no idea Marco was thinking the same thing about him. Even from the end of the aisle, Marco could see how handsome Jean looked in his suit. Bertholdt and Reiner sat down in the audience, holding back squeals. They were proud of their makeshift wedding and proud of their friends.
Jean walked over to the alter, his fiance blushing darker once he was able to clearly see him. Marco reached for his hand and Jean took it instantly, soon laying a soft kiss on his knuckles. This made the freckled male smile brighter and the two stared in each other's eyes, waiting for the priest to say the magic words. After the I do's, Jean slipped a ring Marco's finger and Marco returned the gesture. As soon as the priest said the words, the two kissed each other passionately, both of them tearing up with happiness. They continued their kiss as the audience stood and clapped for the newlyweds. Reiner clapped loud and was teary-eyed along with Bertholdt. They were extremely happy for their friends and that because of them they met. As Marco and Jean began to dance with each other, Reiner took Bertholdt's hand and began to dance with him.
"I'm so happy for those dorks," Reiner said with a laugh, looking over at Marco and Jean who were kissing as they dancing slowly.
Bertholdt nodded in agreement and pecked Reiner's lips softly, "I can't wait to marry you, Mr. Braun." He said with a light chuckle, kissing Reiner's lips again.
The blonde smirked and kissed the brunette deeper, stroking his hair as he hummed happily. "I can't wait either... Mr. Braun."
Bertholdt blushed and held his fiance closer, thinking of the day they'd be married. All they've been through and they managed to get through it. He lost his memory, but through it all Reiner still loved him. Bertholdt realized that he will always love Reiner and that their love is everlasting and real, even memory loss couldn't drive a wedge between them. Bertholdt was so happy to have finally found true love with such a perfect, amazing guy.
Reiner slowly slid his hands down Bertholdt's back as he held him close, kissing his head while slowly swaying side to side with him. This moment was perfect for the two and they never forgot it.
Bertholdt looked at his ring and at Reiner, "Forever and ever. I swear, just like this beautiful ring says."
Reiner blushed and bit his lip, nodding as he kissed the taller male. Bertholdt slid his arms tightly around his fiance and as the two embraced Reiner pulled back and smiled,
"Forever and ever Bertholdt. Memory or none, I love you and I will marry you."
Bertholdt began to tear up after hearing those words and kissed his fiance yet again, holding him while swaying to the music. Bertholdt didn't have to hear Reiner say those words, because he already knew. And Reiner knew as well. Their love would last forever.
So just like they agreed on, they got married in the fall and their wedding was in a church... Not an apartment. And they had a beautiful ceremony, full of kissing and love but an amazing honeymoon. Bertholdt was constantly reminded of his love for Reiner and the same went for Reiner. If they got through the memory loss, Bertholdt and Reiner knew that they could get through anything. And that their love would never end.
