Judar Scenarios and One Shots

Married Again?

Summary:

(name omitted) asked:

For the 100th post special, I thought it would be super cute to do a wedding scenario! But a little different. Like they had a traditional kou wedding, and when he goes her hometown, she sort of explains to him that the village doesn't see their marriage as "valid" bc it wasn't done according to their tradition, so he immediately suggested getting remarried à la his s/o's traditional way. It would be so cool to pick a tribal or even gypsie inspired theme? Up to you! I thought it would be fluffy

Rating - 'E'

Judar yawned loudly as he leaned back on his hands, able to support himself even against the breeze that disturbed the flying carpet he and his lover were riding. She grumbled beside him, reaching up to cover her mouth as she yawned as well, the action infectious. "Don't yawn like that, Judar. I'm tired, too." With a huff, Judar bumped her gently with his knee, prompting her to look over at him. "I can't help it, I'm exhausted. This is the longest carpet ride ever... Why does your home village have to be so far away!"

Frustrated, he flopped back to lay down, allowing his legs to dangle over the edge of the carpet. With a small sigh, his lover reached over and took his hand gently. Her touch calmed him nearly instantly and he looked back up at her, catching her soft gaze with his own. She gave him a soft smile, rubbing his hand gently with her thumb. "We're almost there. It's just over these last few mountains." Judar brought his other arm up and tucked it under his head for support, scoffing softly. "It'd better be."

He kept his gaze on the back of her head as she turned to look forward again. "Thank you for coming out here with me. The instant I sent them notification of our marriage, they insisted we come out immediately." She giggled softly, filling Judar's stomach with butterflies. "Who knows what they have waiting for us... My family can be a little excitable." Judar shifted his position a bit, allowing one leg to begin swinging. "Maybe they're pissed I married you without meeting them or getting their approval."

"That would be my fault, I neglected to include them because of distance.... But that could very well be it. I will take fault for that, of course. We didn't exactly follow tradition..." She spoke with a quiet voice, almost as if she were thinking out loud. Judar frowned, wiggling her arm a bit as he tightened the grip on her hand. "Hey, no way. You're not taking all the fault for stuff on your own. You're my wife now, I have even more responsibility to look after you." He couldn't see his lover's face, but he knew that she must have been blushing by the way her body tensed inward a bit from obvious embarrassment.

Suddenly, her attention was pulled elsewhere as she learned forward a bit, looking out over the edge of the carpet. "Look, Judar, there it is!" She pointed forward with her free hand and Judar was quick to sit up, putting his free hand up to shield his eyes from the sun so he could see better. Sure enough, just at the base of a mountain, a small village came into view. Well, it was small to Judar's standards, but he's sure that for the people that lived there, it was plenty big enough. Still, he couldn't help being a bit snarky, his nose crinkling a bit in distaste as he looked down at the village

"A bit small, isn't it...? You always described it as this super grand place, I expected more." He turned his gaze to her, not surprised at all by the glare turned his direction. His lover crossed her arms, releasing his hand. "Don't be so rude! It's nothing like the palace or the capital, but it was an amazing place to grow up! You work hard and gain respect from everyone, even the leaders don't ever sit on their butts and do nothing." She looked back at Judar after her little speech, growing only more irritated at the look of pure disgust on his face.

"That seems awful... How is that a fun childhood? Nothing but work, yuck." He glowered down at the village as they grew closer, noticing small specks coming out between the buildings to gaze at them. He looked back at his lover as she smacked him gently on the arm. He quickly began regretting ever opening his mouth as she began to scold him, barely listening to her as she went on and on about how hard work was important, and that it was better than being a spoiled brat with nothing to do. Growing frustrated with her rambling, he reached over and covered her mouth. "Okay, okay, I get it! Sorry for picking on your village."

His lover reached up and pulled his hand off her mouth as they began their descent, growing closer to a group of people standing in the middle of the village. "You have to be respectful, Judar. Please." Judar observed his lovers worried expression and he sighed, nodding as he held her hand gently. "I will." He began to stand up on the carpet, helping her up as well. Before the carpet could even get five feet from the ground, his lover could no longer contain her excitement and she jumped off the carpet, running into the arms of two people Judar assumed were her parents.

As she hugged them both and cried with them, the group of people gathered around them, all spouting welcoming words. Judar landed the carpet and stood back silently, honestly feeling totally awkward in the situation. It was way too mushy for him, though he had a feeling he was going to be dragged into it any second. Be respectful. He told himself. This is important to her, don't be an asshole. Suddenly, he could feel a horrible tickle in his nose from the dust rising from the ground around them and he sneezed. It was so powerful that he had to double over a bit, reaching up to rub his nose as he sniffed.

Straightening back up, he nearly jumped out of his skin, noticing everyone except his lover glowering at him with what he could only describe as distrust. Trying to keep his cool, though still only succeeding at being completely awkward, he raised his right hand in greeting. "Uh, hi?" Judar's eyes moved to his lover as he heard her speak, noticing a very large man still hugging her. "Daddy?" She spoke softly, gaining the mans attention as he looked down at her. "Daddy, that's Judar. U-Uhm, the man I told you about in my letter?"

Judar felt his skin crawl as the man release her and began to walk over, and Judar felt like a dwarf as the man towered over him. "You?" The man spoke with a deep voice, immediately crushing any confidence Judar could muster. "Yeah. I'm Judar, Magi of the Kou-"

"I don't care who or what you are, boy. What makes you think you're worthy to date my daughter?"

Growing a bit annoyed with the mans attitude, Judar placed his hands on his hips. "I'm not just dating her anymore, she's my wife." Immediately, the group around them began to gasp and chatter amongst themselves, and Judar's annoyance at the situation only spiked. Timidly, Judar's lover scuttled her way over, stopping by her father. "Daddy, remember I told you in my letter, we got married in the Kou-"

"I don't care what happened there! It was not in the presence of our elders or given my blessing, it is not a valid marriage!" The man's loud voice boomed through the air, and Judar watched as his words brought tears to his lovers eyes. "N-no, Daddy, that's not fair! We've been together for years, and he has a high status in the Empire's Palace, he's a really important person." The large man sighed, placing his hand on her shoulder. "I'm sorry, my dear, but I cannot accept it. You knew our traditions, yet you failed to follow them-"

"What are they?"

Everyone's eyes turned to Judar as he spoke. The man in front of him crossed his arms over his chest. "You would have to prove yourself to me and the elders here in the village that you are worthy of such a woman. Then, you would have to go through our marriage customs, which takes three months before the final ceremony." Judar's lover kept her eyes on the ground, her heart crushed. She knew that Judar would not have the patience for any of this, and would rather just go home and live out their married life there, ignoring the customs of her home. Yet, she was shocked by the sound of his voice, looking back up at him in awe.

"Let's do it, then." Judar spoke with a grin on his face, his confidence no longer crushed by the presence of this man. He held his hand out towards his lover and she took it gently, making her way over to him. "I married her for a reason, you know? I don't share love very easily, if at all, so of course I'm willing to prove it for her." He moved his arm to rest around his lover as she began to sob quietly, hiding her face in his chest.

"I'd marry her a million times over if I could. So bring it on, Pops."
