Return

Queerly Beloved

Matt stared in the mirror of the bedroom. To think that today was 6 months in the making, but today had finally come.

6 months of chaos, hardship, paper balls full of wasted ideas, really good Italian food, dog kisses, and awkward confessions. It was a wild ride, but they made it.

As he finished tying his rainbow bow tie, he heard a knock at the door.

"Hey Matt!" Katie yelled from the other side, "Open up! I wanna show you something real quick!"

He opened the door and she ran in, showing off a move that seemed like the "whip" dance move (Matt will admit: he doesn't keep up with dance trends) while making a noise that sounded like "YEET" before running off.

He couldn't help but laugh to himself as he tied his hair up into a bun.

The venue for the ceremony was absolutely breathtaking. The podium, draped with wonderful white cloth, was situated in front of a myriad of bright green trees. Black roses spiraled around the pillars holding the curtains in place, as a symbol of Shiro's time piloting the Black Lion.

Rows of white chairs sat on either side of a rainbow carpet which would serve as the aisle.

Keith sat on the left side of the aisle next to Krolia. He felt honored to be Shiro's best man, but he hated slacks, so he opted for dark blue jeans with the rest of his formal outfit. Krolia, on the other hand, wore a stunning backless black dress. She didn't quite understand Earth weddings, but she tried.

Pidge sat on the right side, fiddling with the sugared almond pink sash on her jade green dress and matching 1 inch heels. She had never been to a wedding before, so she had no idea what to expect.

As the guests flooded in, one specific guest caught her eye. It was Lance, no surprise, with his jet black suit and notable cyanine blue bow tie. He took a seat next to Pidge.

As he sat down, he noticed Sam and Colleen directly behind them. This caused him to tense up a bit, as he had never actually talked to them that much before today. Katie gave a reassuring look, however. All it took to quell his worries was looking in her golden eyes.

As the ordained minister opened up the Bible, Matt and Shiro looked at each other with excitement. Here they were,  after so long. Shiro detected a whif of weed on his fiance's breath, but it wasn't enough to annoy him. He was just happy to finally be here.

"Queerly beloved," the minister began, "we are gathered here togay-"

Sam spit his drink out. He was just as surprised 6 months ago when Shiro dropped the bombshell on national television.

Matt glanced over and nearly snickered when he found that his poor baby sister now had a slight bit of vodka in her hair. This didn't please her at all. But, for the sake of seeming civilized, she said nothing. This was an accident, after all.

The rest of it went smoothly, and everyone felt the love in the air.
