Summary: Matt Hardy's marriage is falling apart. His best friend Adam takes him to a local gay bar. There, he meets a gorgeous exotic dancer. They flirt…talk and begin to fall in love. But what'll happen when they realize that they are brothers? Oh yeah…and did I mention Orton?

Jeff sighed in annoyance, "Chris!" he whined, "It's my ring, let me pick it!"

Chris giggled, dragging Jeff around the whole store. "You keep picking ones that are too ugly!"

Jeff growled, "The only ugly thing in the store Chris, is your Pikachu underwear. Pull up your damn pants!"

Matt, Adam and John all lounged around. Shopping wasn't really their thing. They were looking, of course, but they weren't as exciting about it as Jeff, Jay or Chris.

Jay glanced around. He did a double take. Zooming over to the glass, he peered inside of it. "Oh, wow…"

Matt blinked, curiosity getting the better of him. "Whaddya find?"

Jay pointed, Matt looked.

"It's…" Matt smiled, softly. "It's perfect."

The ring was silver, with small, clear-cut emeralds running along the sides. They came together at the front, circling around a very big emerald jewel in the middle. The ring was beautiful. A perfect shade of Jeff's eyes whenever he was happy.

Jay grinned, "Oh, Jeffy!" he called.

Jeff gladly slid his arm out of Chris's and went over, "Yeah?" he followed Jay's finger and his eyes widened. "Oh…wow…"

"That's the one," Matt whispered, taking Jeff's hand and squeezing it.

"…No." Jeff whispered.

Jay and Matt stopped smiling. They looked at Jeff.

"It's…too expensive." Jeff murmured, gazing up at Matt. "Way too expensive."

Matt rolled his eyes. He pressed his forehead to Jeff's, "Hush," he murmured, "I don't care if it costs more than my life. I'm buying you that ring."

Before Jeff could object, Chris slapped a hand over his mouth, grinning widely. "It's a gorgeous ring!" he said happily.

Matt chuckled, "Glad you like it, Chris."

The salesman smiled, his long lashes batting. "It's an absolutely gorgeous ring, darling! My hubby and I thought is was so delicious!" he sighed, "I would have loved it if he bought one like that for me, but, you two are so young and so cute, you deserve it."

Jeff tilted his head, a smile playing on his lips. The salesman was gay. How lucky for them. He watched Matt and the guy talk and then his eyes suddenly widened, "Wow…that one is also very nice!"

This ring was an exact replica of the emerald one. Except instead of emeralds, the ring was circled with onyx diamonds, with the large, shiny onyx stone in the middle.

The salesman nodded, "Mm-hm, they come in a pair. Aren't they just fabulous?"

Jeff grinned, smirking at Matt, "I'll say. I'm buying you that one."

Matt blinked, "Excuse me?"

"We're each supposed to have a ring. I'm getting you that one." Jeff smiles, "it'll match your hair."

Matt smirked, "I thought it was too expensive," he teased.

Jeff smiled, "Yes, but I want to spoil you." He grinned, giving Chris a wink, "All that dancing paid off."

"Wonderful!" The salesman said, taking out both rings.

After paying, the group headed to the bridal suits store.

Matt turned, staring into Adam and John's eyes for approval. This was the freaking eighth suit he'd put on.

John smirked, "I dunno, dawg," he told Adam, "I think he looks straight up chill in that suit."

Adam grinned, agreeing with him, "Yes, it does fit." He puckered his lips. "I like it. I'm sure Jeff will too."

Matt sighed, "Finally." He turned, staring at himself in the mirror. The suit was pretty standard, but instead of the white vest one would usually wear, Matt chose a light, gray color. It matched his light gray bowtie. The pants were a tad darker than the top of the suit, but it made the outfit look great.

John and Adam had already picked out their suits. Theirs was almost the same as Matt, except the vest and bowtie were a dark blue.

"Wonder if Jeff's having any luck," John murmured.

"Ch, with Jay and Chris as his side, one would only wonder." Adam replied.

Jeff sighed, "Is it the one or not?" he finally asked. The soft ivory colored suit was nice, matching the cream colored vest underneath.

Jay smiled, "I think that's the one."

Chris nodded, "Most definitely…you look…" he trailed off.

Jeff smiled, turning to stare at himself in the mirror. The blonde locks fell onto his shoulders gently, curtaining his face.

"Angelic," Jay finished, smiling softly.

They would be wearing black suits, with cream colored shirts and bowties.

Jeff smiled, "It's going to be perfect."

Mark smirked, watching Scott force Randy into the showers again. It seemed Scott was really having a good time with Randy. And the funny thing? Randy started to like it.

"Calaway," the guard murmured, stepping up to the cell, "You've got visitors."

Mark blinked, "Visitors?" he rasped.

He stood, following the guard to the visiting center. Who would visit him?

He stepped in and stopped.

"…Kid," he whispered, his light eyes widening. He's recognize that blonde hair and those green eyes anywhere.

Jeff smiled, his eyes tearing, "Hi, dad," he murmured.

Mark and Jeff stared at each other for a long while.

The tears in Jeff's eyes gave way; they fell down his cheeks quickly. Letting go of Matt's hand, Jeff ran towards Mark.

Mark caught the young man, pulling him into a hug. He felt the tears stain his clothing, but he didn't care. He just held tighter.

Matt watched, smiling softly.

Jeff slowly pulled out of the hug. He smiled, wiping at his tears. "I've missed you…"

Mark smiled, patting the boy's head. "I've missed you too, kid." His eyes narrowed. "Just so you know, Orton is going through some real tough shit." At Jeff's curious gaze, he continued, "I popped his sorry ass and then let my bud have him."

Jeff shook his head, laughing softly. "I see. Oh," he turned to Matt, holding out a hand. When Matt was close enough, Jeff took his hand and turned to Mark. "This…is my brother."

Mark nodded slowly, "How are you?" he slowly shook Matt's hand, and that's when he noticed the band. He'd seen one almost identical to it on Jeff's finger.

"…Jeff," Mark murmured, his voice slightly lowered, "Something you want to tell me?"

Jeff nodded, "Matt…is also my fiancé. You told me to find someone who would appreciate me, dad…and I did."

Matt and Jeff both waited, watching Mark's face.

Mark shook his head, chuckling. "I did, didn't I? Well, Jeffrey, I'm glad." He frowned at Matt, "You'd better take damn good care of it."

"Of course," Matt answered smoothly.

Jeff smiled, "There's one other thing, dad…"

Mark looked down into Jeff's eyes. He smirked. "I think I know."

Jeff smiled. "Good."

"Stop fussing, Matt!" Adam whined.

Matt sighed, staring around, "I can't help it…this has to go perfectly!"

"And it will, man, chill out." John said, chuckling.

Matt turned to the priest, who smiled gently at him. "No need to be afraid, son," the elder man murmured, "Just think of how beautiful Jeffrey will be." The priest was the same priest who was to wed Randy and Jeff, they decided on him, because he already knew what had happened and hey, he didn't judge.

Matt sighed, "Alright, alright, I'm cool."

Hunter and Dave smirked at each other. "This feels familiar," Hunter told the bigger man.

"It does, except this time, the guys marrying each other are actually in love." Dave replied. Shane sat behind them, with his arm around his wife. AJ and Evan were holding hands, glancing back to see if they could spot Jeff. Hell, even Amy showed up, Glenn sitting right next to her.

Finally, it was time for Jeff to come out.

Matt took a deep breath, turning around to face his brother, lover and best friend. His eyes widened.

Jeff smiled up at him, his arm looped around Mark's bigger bare arm. The big man had gotten so fed up with the suits sleeves that he had just ripped them off. Jeff looked incredible. His hair was trailing down his neck in beautiful silk waves. Those pretty eyes shining…

As they reached the end, Mark shot Matt a warning look before shaking hands with him. Mark stepped off to the side, rolling his eyes at the guard who was watching him like a hawk. Oh sure, he was allowed to attend the wedding, but a damn guard had to watch him and take him back soon after. Ugh, he wished he could just kill the damn stiff guy.

Matt held his arm out for Jeff, smiling softly. Together, they faced the priest.

"We are gathered here today…to join these men in holy matrimony." The priest began, smiling widely. "These two brave, remarkable men have come together before our and god's eyes to express their love for one another."

Jeff sniffed, nibbling on his lower lip. He glanced over at Chris, who smiled gently at him.

"Now, they have written there own vows," the priest smiled, "Jeffrey, if you please?"

Jeff nibbled on his lower lip, closing his eyes for a few seconds before turning to Matt.

"I knew you were the one the moment I saw you…I knew you were meant to be mine. I thank you for being here with me…I thank you for all the help that you've given me, but most of all…I thank you for loving me…I would never have made it through without you or your love for me. I promise I will love you, comfort you and honor you. I love you and I will always love you. I promise to stay by your side…good, bad, or indifferent. My brother…my lover."

Matt smiled, watching Jeff's eyes shine in tears. Licking his lips, he waited until the priest addressed him.

"And now, Matthew," the priest murmured.

"From the moment our eyes met, the connection was there. From the moment we first kissed, the love was there. In a room full of a hundred people…you saw ninety-nine and I saw only one…you and I were meant to be. You are the world to me. I promise to cherish you, like a lover should. I promise to protect you, like an older brother would. I promise to love you, like a husband will and I promise to stand by your side forever and for always."

Matt smiled, hearing Chris sniffling in the corner, John gently shushing him. Jeff struggled with the tears and smiled, squeezing Matt's hand.

The priest smiled.

"Jeffrey, do you take Matthew Moore Hardy to be your lawfully wedded husband?" the priest asked gently.

"I do." Jeff answered, his eyes shining brightly as he stared up at his brother.

"And do you, Matthew, take Jeffrey Nero Hardy to be your lawfully wedded husband?"

Matt smiled, looking down at Jeff lovingly. "Of course, I do."

Turning to the hushed, sobbing crowd, the priest raised his voice, "If there is anyone here who objects, speak now, or forever hold your peace."

Matt glanced over at the people. Amy merely smiled at him, mouthing a Congradulations. AJ and Evan were holding each other, Evan crying softly. Dave and Hunter merely grinned. Shane and his wife were a bit surprised that two brothers were getting married, but they didn't let that affect their happiness.

"Very well," The priest said, "Then, by the power vested in me I know pronounce you man and…husband, I guess."

Everyone chuckled.

"The rings, please," he told Chris and Adam. Chris handed Matt's ring over to Jeff, and Adam handed Jeff's ring over to Matt.

Taking Jeff's small hand in his own, Matt slid the beautiful emerald ring on the ring finger of his left hand.

Jeff did the same, smiling and staring into Matt's eyes as he did.

The priest smiled, "You may kiss your husband," he told Matt.

Matt grinned, cupping Jeff's cheeks in his hands. He moved in closer, brushing his lips over Jeff's sweetly. They held onto each other, sharing small pecks every now and then.

They broke apart, smiling at one another as the claps rang out.

Mark smiled, shaking his head. Jeff was happy. He deserved it. He rolled his eyes when the guard poked him on the arm, "Yeah, yeah, I know." He looked at Jeff, "Two more years, kid."

Jeff smiled, still holding onto Matt, "Two more years, dad."

Mark smiled, tugging both brothers' into a hug. "I'll be seeing you two."

"Bye, dad," Jeff whispered, watching the guard lead Mark away. He looked up at Matt.

"Just two years," Matt whispered softly. "Only two."

Jeff smiled a watery smile.

-Home-

Jeff giggled, playing around with the bouquet. "I love how they just send you this stuff when you don't even need it."

Jay sighed, "Toss the damn thing, already!" he, Chris, Amy, and Evan were all waiting.

Jeff rolled his eyes, "If you wanna get mad," he turned and tossed the flowers behind him.

Matt watched in amusement as the thing landed directly in Chris's arms. John, who was sitting next to him, spat out his drink, flushing brightly.

Jeff grinned, turning around to look at his best friend. "Well, well," he teased, "Looks like Chrissy is next to being married."

Chris blushed, "It just landed in my hands!"

Jeff merely smirked. He walked over to his husband, sitting on his lap, "Was it perfect for you?"

Matt smiled, wrapping his arms around Jeff, "It was better than perfect."

Adam smirked, "You guys fit perfectly, don't cha?"

"What can I say?" Matt murmured, still gazing at Jeff, "We have…a lot in common."

Jeff smiled, kissing Matt's cheek.

-Three Years Later-

Jeff sighed, staring out the window, "Keep it down! The boys are sleeping!"

Mark rolled his eyes, letting John get up. The two had been wrestling around, coming back from John and Chris's wedding. "Gimme a break, kid, they're just dogs."

Adam and Jay snickered. Chris smiled, lazily playing around with his and John's cat.

Jeff gasped, "They are not! They're my children! And one of them is my husband!"

Mark twitched. "Sure." He hissed as a Frisbee was thrown at him, he snarled, glaring at Scott.

Scott smirked, pushing his hair away from his face, "Don't listen to him, Jeff. He loves his own pups the same way you love yours."

Mark snorted, "At least mine don't sleep in bed with me."

Jeff stuck his tongue out at his father-figure and shut the window. He turned, staring at the bed. He giggled.

Matt, Jack and Lucas were all cuddled together, sleeping peacefully.

Jeff smiled, curling up next to Matt.

Life couldn't be any better.

AAAAAAAAAAND that's the END.

XD.

I almost killed myself with the vows. Aye…

Btw, the rings that Matt and Jeff were wearing when they visited Mark were silver engagement bands, the real rings didn't get put on till the wedding, XD.
