Fates Entwined
"I now pronounce you…" Cid stopped momentarily to glare at the couple. "Caveman and caveman." How ridiculous! But that's just what happens when you let two men pick out wedding vows.
The whole wedding burst out with cheers as the two faced the room as caveman and caveman. Irvine gave a giant thumbs up to everyone before swooping down to kiss Zell. How he had ever had a crush on Seifer he didn't know! Zell was his world! His one and only! And now, they had rings and a certificate to prove it!
Seifer held tightly to Squall's hand. "Don't get any ideas Almasy!" joked Squall.
The atmosphere in the reception room was one of total mindless elation. Selphie was bouncing to a happy song with her new boyfriend in the center of the room. Seifer led Squall to talk to her. Squall let himself be led for a bit. They tended to just trade off being dominant. Whichever was in the better mood seemed to just take over.
"Hey Selphie! So, what do you think of my work?"
Selphie stopped dancing, but continued bouncing slightly. "What Squall? Eh, I could take him or leave him!"
Seifer shook his head. He looked so cute in uniform. But, not quite as cute as bouncing Selphie in uniform. "No, I mean Irvine and Zell. They wouldn't be together if it wasn't for me!"
Selphie smiled. "Are you kidding? They were meant to be! There's only so much credit you can take!"
Squall laughed. He affectionately squeezed Seifer's hand. "It's true. You were unconscious for most of it."
"So, when are we going to see rings on your fingers?" asked Selphie peeking at their hands.
"They can't get engaged at our wedding! It would detract from our attention!" said a proud Irvine. He swooped up the group into his long arms.
Zell smiled beside him. "Besides, Squall should know about the orgy before that happens!"
Squall looked positively befuddled. "What orgy?"
Seifer looked guilty. "Well, anyway, we were going to tell Rinoa about this. We'll be back in a bit." He started dragging the brunette out of the reception.
Irvine and Zell chortled. Selphie looked confused.
"And he actually had to say 'caveman', it was great Rinoa! You would have laughed so hard. I know me and Squall were."
They were sitting down beside the headstone. Squall smiled at him. "She would have laughed over us too."
"Yeah well, who would have believed that we'd end up being an us?"
Squall scooted closer to Seifer. "I would. It was fate."
Something sparkled in Seifer's eye. "I knew you felt that way. How would you like to be the next Garden wedding?"
Squall was surprised, but completely sure that there was nothing more he could ask for. "You don't have a ring."
Seifer laughed a hearty laugh and pulled out a ring from his coat pocket. "I thought of everything!"
Squall's eyes went wide. "You really planned this?"
He hung his head a bit. His voice became serious. "I knew that we had to do this in front of Rinoa. She is the only reason we are together. And she was so important to us."
Squall nodded.
"She opened you up and if she hadn't, I don't think I would be able to stand you. You never talked and the only way you would was if I pissed you off. So, this is a good combo. You talk and I don't piss you off."
"Well, you still piss me off."
Seifer laughed and kissed Squall. "You saved me from dying a second time. Marry me."
Over the beautiful tombstone they had resurrected in honor of a great woman, two lovers devoted their lives to each other. However many they had.
And everyone lived happily ever after.
"So, what orgy?" asked Squall.
