-third person-
One boy rushes around, while the other in posted at the podium {?}. One needs a longer time to get dressed, it's his special day, it's both of theirs.
James is scared, he's stressed, he's, not...okay.
His best friends are helping him calm down, everyone's nervous but James, James is shaking with fear.
What if Grayson cheats on him, what if he's not good enough.
But, James has wanted this ever since the two boys became best friends, ever since they were 16 they've been best friends.
Now James is 24 and Grayson is 25.
Grayson did it out of no where, out of the blue, it started with a promise ring, but then he got down on one knee and spilled his heart out to his true love.
James brushes his tux off, not wanting any dust nor dirt to be on the yellow fabric.
James' step-sister walks out, the little yellow dress coming just below her knees, her beautiful smile is big and wide, happy in the moment.
Then his best friends.
Then the piano starts, his heart starts to beat rapidly again but his mom presses her hand to his cheek and whispers a "I love you" sweetly.
They lock arms and they walk out, Grayson can't speak, he can't move, his palms got sweaty and his breathing collapsed.
He can't help but whisper a quiet "oh shit" while tearing up at the beautiful sight.
His purple tux is perfect for him, making him look so handsome, his smile turns into a smirk at he stares down his true love, James.
James' cheeks burst in flames, turning his whole face a bright red, his mom lets go of his arm and sits down in the front next to his step-dad.
They hold hands, staring into eachother eyes with such love, such passion, they know they'll be together forever, yea they'll be a lot of ups and downs, a lot of bumps in the road. But they'll make it through, they always did and they always will.
As the priest speaks he turns to Grayson and asks, "blah blah blah blah?" [i forgot what they say at weddings, oops] Grayson smiles and responds with a confident "I do." Then he turns to James and asks the same thing, which James replies to, "I do." He says it sternly, he says it and he means it with his whole heart.
The priest smiles, "You my now kiss the..bride?" We both chuckle and kiss, people cheer and clap and they laugh and they smile.
The two boys separate and lean their foreheads against each other's.
"I love you grayson."
"I love you too james."
"I can't believe I did." James let's out a breathy laugh.
"Why not?" Grayson soon follows his sentence with, "well besides the fact that I shot you."
"Exactly what I meant."
We both chuckle, "you fell in love with me though."
I smile and nod, "yea I did, I fell in love with the school shooter."
