Triphilia - together forever | one-shots

Away |1|

A/N: Before we start, I just want to let you know that this is set after the one-shot "Again?" which you can find right at the beginning of this book. So if you're feeling confused, reread this one ;)

"Avi? Are you coming? We're leaving in five!" 

"Yes, I'm coming." Avi put his phone away and took his jacket. He and his boyfriends had an appointment at the venue they would hold their wedding at. They would be finalising plans for both the ceremony and the reception.

A few weeks ago, Mitch had proposed to his boyfriends for the second time. Polyamorous marriages were finally legally accepted and of course, Mitch, Scott and Avi had started planning their wedding right away. It would be a spring wedding, outside in a garden. 

Planning the whole thing was rather easy. They knew what they wanted and had already held a promise ceremony before and while it shouldn't be a complete redo, they wanted to take a few elements from back then. Gregory, for example, the officiant who held their first ceremony had agreed to hold their wedding ceremony the moment they had asked him. 

"I'm here" Avi said to his men who were waiting in the hallway. 

Mitch smiled at him. "At last. I started to wonder that you didn't want to get married to us" he joked. "Come on, I can't wait to plan our wedding!" He chuckled and took Avi's hand. "Come on, let's go."

"Sure..."

Mitch furrowed his brows. "What's wrong, Avi?"

Avi smiled slightly. "Nothing, really. Just saw another article..."

"And you read it, hmm?" Scott asked with a soft voice. 

Avi shrugged his shoulders. "Yeah, but it's all good. I love you and I want to get married to you. Whatever the media says doesn't matter." It was like a mantra which he repeated over and over again, ever since they announced their official engagement. 

The polyamorous community was not as big and they if it hadn't been for Scott, Mitch and Avi, the passing of the law would have gone almost unnoticed by the big media. However, interest in their relationship had spiked once again and there were a lot of requests for interviews and even some offers for a whole TV documentary about their wedding, which they all declined. 

But of course that didn't stop them from writing countless articles on them. Some were really nice and supportive, but most of them were full of stupid prejudices about polyamory and the nature of their relationship. 

Avi hated being the centre of attention either way. But he powered through it, hoping that once they were married and the dust had settled, everything would be back to normal. 

"See? That's the spirit" Mitch said, kissing Avi's bearded cheek softly, before he lead him to their car.

"Ready for this, Avi?"

Avi smiled at Kevin, who was one of his designated groomsmen. His best man would be his brother, Joshua, who had promised him to come to LA a week before the wedding.

Now, three months before the wedding he had an appointment with their stylist to choose his suit and of course Kevin had agreed to join him and help him make the choice.

"Yes..." Avi said. He opened the door and stepped inside, smiling at Candice who was sitting at her desk, but looked up as soon as she noticed the two men.

"Hello, come on in." She hugged them both and then pointed at a rack. "I already prepared a choice for you. You said you wanted a classic black suit. I got some for you, but also some which are a little bit more colourful. Why don't you take a look and let me know what you think."
