Domesticating Duo
Part Eight: Tying the Knot
Quatre held onto Odin Maxwell, watching as the baby cooed in his arms.
He had dressed him in a green tank top and spandex shorts, just because
he thought it was cute, and wrapped him up in a blanket. Duo fidgeted
nervously next to him, dressed in a simple black tuxedo. Then the music
started, and the two best friends watched as Heero started to walk down
the aisle. Duo couldn't stop smiling. In a few minutes he would be
committed to one person for the rest of his life, he wouldn't be able
to go out late carousing with the guys, he wouldn't be able to fool
around in the scavenging yard all day, and he couldn't have been
happier. Heero slipped up to stand next to Duo, turning to face him as
the priest started the ceremony.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are gathered here today to join in holy
matrimony, Duo Maxwell and Heero Yuy. Duo, do you take Heero Yuy to be
your lawfully wedded wife, through richness and poor, through sickness
and health, till death do you part?"
"I do."
"Heero, do you take Duo Maxwell to be your lawfully wedded husband,
through richness and poor, through sickness and health, till death do
you part?"
"I do."
"I now pronounce you man and wife. You may now kiss the bride."
Duo pulled Heero into a warm embrace, pressing his lips against the
other boy's before moving to whisper in his ears. "Ai shiteru, Heero,
zutto."
