The Wedding Planner
Chapter 10
The Vows
xx Last Time xx
The blond released a sigh as he fixed himself up in the mirror. A little tug on the white tux, brush of the pants, comb the hair and he was out of the bathroom...
If he could get the door open atleast. "...Shit."
xx Now To Our Last Chapter xx
xx With Kaiba xx
Kaiba looked himself in the mirror. Absolutely handsome as always. Though he looked better in a white tux, this black one didn't look so bad. He looked at the small red rose that was pinned to the left side of his satin black tuxedo jacket. The door opened quietly and slowly behind him and in came his little brother, Mokuba, in a silver tux.
"Hey Seto. What are you thinking about?" Mokuba didn't waste time in small talk, he got straight to the point. Seto sighed and smiled at his little brother, shaking his head. "Nothing, Mokie. Just...getting ready to spend the rest of my life with-"
"With someone you couldn't care less about?" Mokuba teased. Seto gave him an odd look. "What exactly do you mean? I care about Duke." He bit his bottom lip. He knew he was lying.
"Uh-huh. If you care about him so much, why are you about to break so many hearts?"
Seto flinched. Mokuba sighed. "Seto, if you did care about Duke then why would you lead him on to this? You and I both know all to well that you want to, need to, be with Joey."
"That blond idiot? Why would I ever...think about being with him?" Mokuba smirked. "Duh cuz you're in love with him. And he obviously loves you." Mokuba's face turned sullen. "Seto, you need to stop this before it begins. Talk with Duke, he'd understand at some point." Mokuba left without Seto noticing. The brunet stayed there looking into space for a minute then rushed out to find Duke.
When Kaiba finally did find Duke's room, he knocked down the door. Duke let out a gasp and turned around quickly, hiding behind a rack of clothes. "Seto! What are you doing here? You know it's bad luck to see the bride before the wedding!" Duke giggled. Seto sighed, closed his eyes and prepared himself for a shrill from Duke. "We need to discuss something."
"WHAT?-!" Those words always mean one thing- 'we're breaking up'. Before Duke could throw a meltdown/hissy fit, Kaiba grabbed the other boy's wrist and yanked him out of the dressing room, guiding him to a flower garden near by.
Kaiba finally stopped and turned around to the frantic boy. "Why would you do this to me?-! On the day of my wedding! Why? WHY?-!" Duke kept screaming why while Kaiba carefully sat Duke down on a near by bench. The brunet grabbed Duke's chin and made Duke's eyes meet his own. "Listen to me and answer me this question: Why do you want to marry me?"
"Well because I love you, of course!" Duke stopped his crying to give Seto a weird look. "Do you really want to get married? Are you sure? Think about your answer though, take time."
And that's what Duke did, he thought. And thought. What reason was there for him to marry Seto Kaiba? Because he loved him? Was what he felt toward Seto really be called love? In all actuality, Duke didn't want to get married. What the hell was he about to do?-! He was gonna waste his life, his youth on someone he didn't really love as much as he use to...Infatuation is really fickle.
xx Now With Joey's...situation xx
Joey finally figured out that he was suppose to pull instead of push the door open. 'Damn it man, why can't they just have a push only door?-!' Joey took one more deep breath before fully getting out of the bathroom.
Flowers in hand, he walked slowly toward Tristan who was standing with Yami, one of two best men. Joey turned his head to look at his best man, Ryou who was holding the rings. Ryou gave Joey a reassuring smile and wink and turned to face forward. Joey gulped and sighed.
Once Joey stood next to the smiling brightly Tristan, the judge began to recite. While Tristan was completely lost in the moment of it all, Joey's mind was filled with thoughts and doubts and 'what if' questions. 'No. This is right.I will never see him again. Soon he'll be off on his honeymoon while I'm in mine...Fuck, is this really needed?'
"I, Tristan Taylor, Do."
"I...Joey Wheeler...Do..." Every word was laced with doubt, guilt, regret.
"All right, now if anyone has a reason that these two should not be wed, please speak now or forever hold your peace." Joey bit his bottom lip and subconsciously wanting some miracle to happen.
"Ah man, I can't let you do this Joey!" Yami shouted. He ran up to Joey and grabbed his shoulders. "You don't really love Tristan do you? Don't make yourself miserable if you do something you think is wrong!"
"This is right. Right for everyone! I'm suppose to be with Tristan and Seto's suppose to be with Duke! That's how it works. And I'm ok with that!"
"Are you really?" Serenity spoke. Before Joey thought of an answer, Ryou spoke. "Bloody hell Joey! We all know this can't happen!"
"Ah, screw it. Everyone's right. Joey, I only want your happiness. Don't think about it. You don't really need to do this. And I'm okay with that." Tristan smiled at Joey who held wide eyes. "Just one favor though." And then, of course, Tristan leaned in and gave Joey a sweet peck on the lips. "Go, get out of here."
xx Back With Kaiba And Duke xx
They stood and stared at each other for a long time. Duke's hair blew with the wind, making his face being hidden. Seto finally broke the deep silence.
"I'll call a taxi." He pulled out his cell.
"Thank you Seto. For everything." After Seto hanged up, Duke gave him one more hug and ran inside the cab. They waved by to each other as the taxi drove off.
"Oh.Oh.Oh. W-was that just the 'bride'?-!" Yugi rushed toward Seto. Kaiba only nodded as he held his gentle, unnoticed smile. "Oh god. Oh god, please! WHY DID HE JUST LEAVE IN THAT TAXI!-?" Yugi started to hyperventilate. "Joey's gonna kill me. Worse- Mrs.Kitwa's gonna spoon out my eyes and beat me with them! WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME HERE ALONE JOEY!"
That last part caught Seto's ear. "Wait...you mean he's not here?" Yugi kept crying and shook his head. "Well, where is he?-!" Yugi shrugged as he cried harder. "I..he...said...something...law office...wedding...I'M GONNA DIE!" Seto got all the information he needed, so he ran to the law offices after slapping Yugi to his senses. It seemed to calm the little starfish-haired guy for a bit. But that didn't matter...all that mattered right now was that he had to stop that wedding.
XX Now it blends XX
Once Kaiba had finally gotten to town hall, he noticed a group of people outside. He especially noted Yami there. He walked behind Yami and tapped his shoulder, to which Yami gave a start and turned around. "Oh! It's you!"
"Where's Joey?"
"Pfft, what you came to stop the wedding in the middle? Cliche abounds from you huh? Weren't you getting married or something?" Seto rolled his eyes. "Why do you think I came here, dolt? Obviously I cancelled the wedding and right now all I need to know is where he is."
Tristan stared at him. "Oh hey." Seto recognized Tristan as Joey's supposed fiancee. "You! Where's Joey? What happened?-!" Tristan took a step back away from the scary brunet. "He decided I wasn't 'The One', I guess. But you are." Serenity and the elder Wheeler gave Tristan a look. "What do you mean?"
"He is The One." Tristan tried to explain
"The One?-!" Ryou asked oddly. "Oh so, you're the Zorro character that saved Joey!"
"Saved Joey from what?" Mr.Wheeler asked. "From a dumpster." Almost everyone said in unison.
"Joey planned my wedding."
"But you cancelled it."
"Exactly."
"Wait, wait!" Mr.Wheeler clamped a hand over his forehead. "So you're saying that you and Joey were suppose to get married today but not with each other but you two feel in love and now neither of you two are getting married?-!
"Yes?"
"THEN WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU STILL DOING HERE?-! Go after him, Tristan take him please." Tristan pulled the brunet over to his motorcycle. They rode off toward the park where Joey and Seto had thier date. The sun was about to set, making a bit dark.
On the way toward the park, there was a bicycle race on the same road. And the easiest way to cut thru them was to go on their same road for a while. As they go, people and the other bikers cheered after them seeing the huge 'JUST MARRIED' sign on the back of the motorcycle (A/N: In the movie, it actually happens and it made me giggle a lot XD).
Finally they reached the park. It was already dark but luckily they were showing a movie again. Seto could guess where Joey would be at. But before he went to the tree...
"One bag of M'n'M's please." After he got the bag he snuck next to Joey who was, as predicted, sitting on the tree. To make his presence know, Seto loudly opened the bag of candy.
Joey jumped in his seat a bit and turned, eyes getting wider as he noticed who exactly was next to him. "Uh...hi." Kaiba looked up at Joey and gave him a small smile. "Hello." He poured all the M'n'M's into one hand. "Where's Duke?"
"In Santa Ana, California. On our honeymoon."
"Oh..." Joey wasn't stupid. Something must've happened between Duke and Seto. Seto must've told Duke about his situation...
"What are you doing?" Joey asked, noticing Seto picking at the M and M's. "Picking out all the colored ones leaving the brown ones."
"Why?"
"Well, someone once told me that the brown ones would have less artificial flavor. And it sorta stuck to me." Kaiba shrugged as if it's no big deal. Then he heard Joey chuckle. "Your hair has no artificial flavor then." Wow, that was completely stupid...but who cares, right?
"No, I don't think my hair would be any flavor whatsoever. It reminds you of chocolate?" Joey shook his head. "No, chocolate reminds me of your hair. And the sky reminds me of your eyes." Joey could melt under those icy blue eyes. Seto sighed. "This morning I ate pancakes and the syrup reminded me of your eyes. And then today I think one of the guests at the wedding brought her golden retriever and well...it looked so much like you." Seto chuckled while Joey gave him a pout. "No dog names!"
The movie played a song again and Seto turned to Joey. "Well, aren't you going to ask me if you may have this dance?" Joey grinned. "No it's your turn, you deserve it." So Seto got up, pulling Joey to his feet as well. They began to dance closely in the moonlight as well as the dim light from the movie screened.
"Everything turned out perfect, don't you think?" Seto asked as he leaned his forehead on Joey's. Joey gave a slight nod and tip-toed a little to give Seto a kiss. Just when their lips met though-
"Ewww! Get a room!"
"Oh shut up starfish boy!" Seto and Joey said simultaneously at Yami.
"OH DEAR GOD JOEY! DO YOU KNOW THE HELL YOU PUT ME THRU?-!" Face-plam. "Dude, Yugi, Buddy! I'm soo sorry. Don't hurt me!" Joey hid behind his brunet from the smaller multi-colored hair foaming at the mouth. The Joey noticed something behind Yami.
"Serenity! What did I tell you about those clothes!"
"Relax, big brother. I have a coat." Serenity pulled up her purple trenchcoat and waved it at Joey.
"What are you still doing here?" Seto finally spoke. Everyone turned to the direction Seto was staring at. Not only was Tristan there but Duke was as well. Both were smirking. "Oh well, I just wanted to meet and greet the almost-homewrecker. No offence, Joey."
"Oh, no none tak...en...Are you two holding hands?-!" Tristan blushed slightly while Duke laughed loudly. "HAHA! No you're just seeing things!"
"Ugh, can't we just leave those two alone so that they can make out here already?" Ryou asked from the back, Bakura next to him seemingly annoyed. "Come on Ryou let's just go!"
"We can't just leave them all here, we have to drop them off!"
"Why did you offer them all a ride here?-!" Ryou shrugged.
"Ryou's got a point though, I want to Seto to finally make out with Joey already!" Mokuba came from out of no where. "Isn't it your bed time?" Seto glared. Mokuba sweat dropped. "WELL! Let's get out of here!"
"Wait wait! I want a picture!" Serenity said taking out her camera.
"Oh oh! Me too!" Mokuba did the same. "Actually, I wanna video tape it!" When they turned around to take a picture, they found no one there.
Seto and Joey laughed as they ran away from Joey's manic friends. They hid behind the huge movie screen and once they stopped they fell over each other, with Joey on the bottom of course.
Seto stared longingly into Joey's honey-brown eyes. Joey was hypnotized by Seto's blue eyes. It was amazing how they could still shine in the darkness of the night.
"This might be stupid of me but...Seto I love you. Please don't leave me, ever." Joey began to cry as he tightened his fist on Seto's chest. "I can't go thru another heart break like the one with Marik. Or when my mom left dad and me to ourselves. I can't." Seto felt a hard pinch at his heart when he saw Joey's tears and when he heard Joey's broken voice. He let his hand pet the blonde hair and pick Joey's head up a bit. "I won't, I promise. I love you, I swear it." Seto pressed his lips against Joey's and after a while he let his tongue slip into the other's mouth, encouraging Joey's tongue to do a tongue war. Seto gently bit down on Joey's bottom lip and sucked on his tongue for a while, giving Joey a reason to moan. Seto's free hand roamed up and down Joey's side underneath his shirt. Joey loved the feel of Seto's silky hair between his fingers but he loved more the lips that were controlling him, putting him into a spell. Soon they both needed air.
"Who's gonna plan our wedding?" Joey asked, panting and smiling. Seto closed his eyes, also panting, and smiled a bit. "We'll let Yugi do it alone, I'd love to see that."
"Sadist."
"You haven't seen the worst yet. And only you will see it." Kaiba winked. Joey blushed at the meaning of that. "So can I live with you? Yami and Yugi are driving me crazy at my house."
"Sure puppy, it'll be like taking a stray home."
"Hmph." Seto chuckled and kissed Joey again. "My puppy. Mine."
"Over-controlling and jealous type huh? It'll be fun to tease you now. I'm thinking of going to a club later tonight, so I might not be home until after 3 am."
"I'll make sure to close down any clubs in Domino and then have security follow you everywhere." Joey smiled. "I love you, my owner." Seto kissed Joey again. "And owner loves you too puppy."
As the two locked lips again, the movie screen they hid behind showed a just married couple kissing and then the words 'The End'.
-----Owari/End------
