song: shadow by wild nothing
third person's pov:
"you're being so annoying right now, ethan!" grayson groans
"oh shut up! you were supposed to bring the beers gray!"
"me?! now that's a complete fucking lie!"
"i can agree with grayson on that one ethan." hayes chuckles
ethan rolls his eyes and tugs on the chain rested on his chest, also slightly tugging on the collar of his tuxedo.
grayson stares at ethan in anger and rolls his eyes, walking over to him and slapping ethan's hand away from his tuxedo's collar.
"touch that again and i won't redo your tie smartass." grayson hisses
ethan gives grayson a deathly glare to say something but before he could continue, the door is slammed open and all eyes are rested upon the distressed girl yelling at her phone.
"i ordered the cake to come at five aunt macy not god damn seven! listen, i'm sorry for being so aggressive right now but... hold on-"
nova points her finger at grayson and motions for him to come her way and grayson chuckles, waving off ethan and following her out.
ethan watches nova with lustful eyes and he raises his right eyebrow as he scans her beige dress up and down.
"ethan!"
hayes laughs quietly as he watches ethan's eyes widen, as he clears his throat and reverts his attention on him.
"i need you to go help my fiancé. she's calling for you."
ethan nods slowly and sets his hand on hayes shoulder, gently shaking him.
"you better treat her well hayes. you seem like a great guy so far." ethan smiles
hayes smiles weakly and also sets his hand on ethan's hand that was placed on his shoulder, gently squeezing it.
ethan pats hayes shoulder one last time and waves hayes goodbye, running out the door while yelling a "good luck!"
as ethan makes his way to the bride's door, he catches a glimpse of nova talking to one of the food caterers. he laughs to himself, watching nova aggravated at a situation and his eyes widen as nova catches ethan's stare.
now it's nova's turn to laugh at the boy with red stained cheeks.
ethan's eyes avert back to nova's direction and he smirks teasingly, giving her a thumbs up. she gives him one back and sends a teasing kiss and ethan runs back to the wall, catching the flying kiss and clutching it close to his heart.
nova's cheeks turn a deep dark red and she curses at herself in her head, trying to get rid of the memories flooding in her mind.
she waves him off, clutching her phone to her ear and smiling while running away. ethan watches her with a soft smile and he slowly walks to the bride's door.
as ethan opens up the wooden door, he hears yells and shouts from his twin brother and the bride.
"just let me help perla!" grayson groans
"you're poking my fucking scalp gray! wait till ethan gets here!"
ethan walks into the room and grayson's eyes avert to his twin brother while perla sighs in relief, smiling through the mirror.
"why would he know how to do it?" grayson asks
"cause lover boy has done it for nova." perla snickers
ethan frowns but laughs, teasingly slapping perla's hair.
"aye watch it! i woke up early to get this shit done."
ethan grabs the clips from grayson's hand and gently tucks them into perla's hair, smiling at her through the mirror as he finishes.
"you look beautiful by the way." ethan compliments
"thank you e." perla murmurs
"grayson and i are gonna be up there so, if anything happens just give us a look and we'll tackle hayes down."
perla slaps ethan's arm and shakes her head, chuckling softly.
"nothing will happen, stop it." she smiles
grayson hugs perla gently and pecks her warm cheek, setting his large hands on his shoulders.
"i'm proud of you, you know?"
"don't make me cry asshole, stop." perla whines
the friends chuckle softly but they soon stop, their eyes averting to the door that gently creaked open.
"would you look who it is, the star of the show."
"stop it gray." nova chuckles
nova gasps as she sees perla in her bride dress and her eyes get glossy, whimpering as she points at perla's dress up and down.
"god don't cry." perla groans
nova runs into perla's arms and hugs her tightly, squeezing her waist and pulling back slowly.
"you look so pretty. this is so weird." nova chuckles, wiping away her tears
ethan rubs nova's arm up and down and nova calms down immediately from his touch, sighing quietly in relief.
"well, we gotta get you out there." grayson whispers, scared to ruin the moment
"did you actually forget. you guys have to walk in pairs remember?" perla chuckles
"i have to walk with nancy?" grayson asks in surprise
ethan and nova snicker quietly and perla gives the two best friends a small smirk.
"you guys have to walk together you know?" perla teases
"no... no. isn't tyler gonna be a groomsmen?" nova chuckles nervously
"nova. he isn't even close to being 'friends' with hayes. sorry but... you're stuck with ethan."
