Chereads / Green Carnations(BL) / Chapter 41 - Starlit Night.

Chapter 41 - Starlit Night.

"It's not like it's the first time you're seeing him."

Mila said with her normal blank face.

"But he's gonna kiss him."

"Definitely not the first time, I believe."

Mila replied to Lucia.

"But it's the first time in front of everyone."

All of the cousins started giggling.

Juno cleared her throat and said,"Okay okay, enough of that. Stop teasing him now. Is everything ready?"

"Yes, sister."

"But they're weird, who marries at night? Who are you trying to hide from?"

It was their wedding day today.

Adonis smiled.

He was already exceptionally beautiful but today he looked even more expectationally eternal.

He was wearing a white suit with small pears dangling here and there. His mid length hair was as beautiful as the waves of the ocean and more with the small white flowers tucked in his left ear.

Holding a beautiful bouquet of green carnations, he looked like some celestial of beauty who had directly descended from heaven to let the earthlings know what beauty actually meant.

"Woahhhhh, mommy is so beautiful."

Everyone turned around to see little Osiris all dressed in black and white suit with golden work on it.

Everyone could see the heart in Osiris's pupil as he stared at his mommy.

Osiris ran towards Adonis and said,"Mommy quickly, Osiris wants a kissy."

Adonis smiled and pecked him in both his cheeks.

"It's my baby who looks like the little angel he is."

Osiris gave a proud but shy smile.

Ozias walked over and said,"Why is our little angel here?"

Osiris gave a dazzling smile as he snuggled in Ozias's arms and said,"Osiris is here to take mommy so that he can marry Daddy quickly and stay with Osiris and Daddy forever."

Rufus playfully pinched his lil nose and said,"Make sure you take care of your Mommy when you're a big boy or Uncle Rufus will come quickly and take him back to Arnaall state, okay?"

Osiris nodded and said with puffed cheeks,"Osiris will definitely take care of Mommy, Uncle Rufus. Osiris will be strong like and protect both of them."

Everyone laughed at the adorable little angel.

"Okay now. Let's proceed."

All of them nodded and went out of the tent.

The night breeze was a bit cool on the peak but the uncountable number of stars twinkling in the sky was a sight to see.

It was like all the stars in the galaxies were brighter and dancing as they twinkled because two lovers whose fate was written among the stars were officially going to be one, under the same stars.

Magnus was standing on the peak in all his glory.

He was fully dressed in white suit with a white cape and golden work on the borders. He looked as magnificent as ever and more. 

It was clearly visible that he was the original King of this land.

His glory looked too natural as it all belonged to him from the very start.

Osiris was standing beside him.

He whispered,"Daddy, mommy looks like a fairy."

"Huh, he always looks like a fairy."

"Yes, but today.....he looks like…..like....ummm, the king of fairies."

Magnus smiled at Osiris's description.

Adonis always looks the most beautiful…

He stopped.

Everything around him stopped.

Magnus forgot how to breathe at that moment.

Adonis walked down the aisle with his sisters and brothers behind him.

It was like, the most beautiful pearl in the world floating among the most beautiful clouds.

Magnus finally understood what Osiris meant.

He walked down.

He was down on his knees in front of Adonis as he extended his hand.

Blood rushed and blush crept from over his beautiful face in that starlit night.

His breath ragged.

As Adonis didn't give his hands immediately, Magnus said playfully,"What happened dear? You can't back off now."

Adonis looked around. A wave of content and peace washed Adonis's heart.

This was all he wanted. 

His family smiling happily, good friends, comrades, his child and the love of his life.

He extended his palm on Magnus's hands with a heart overflowing with love.

"Never."

Magnus kissed it.

He got up and guided his lover to the peak where the priest stood.

They stood in front of the priest facing each other.

"Are both Magnus Bloodworth and Adonis Arnall here standing in front of me with your own consent to get married to each other?"

"Yes."

Both of them said in unison.

"It is said that there are seven sufferings in the world. Everyone will be with you when you're happy, but to truly love someone you should be with them, hand on hands, during the time of distress. To be married to someone is to be together with them during all their smiles and tears. Please take your vows."

Magnus started.

"I vow to be with you and care for you during your sickness."

Adonis smiled as they looked deep into each other's eyes. It was like they were craving these words into their souls.

"Likewise."

"I vow to grow old with you as my love for you will only grow more and more."

"I vow to love more with each passing day."

Now Adonis took the lead.

"I vow to love you in your absence or presence. I wish I could live and die with you."

"Likewise."

"I wish I would only love you, with all birth, in all my lifetimes."

By this time both of their eyes were sparkling with tears.

"Me too."

Magnus said and he took the lead.

"I vow to never resent you when it's not your fault."

"Likewise."

"I vow to support you through all your hard times."

"Me too."

Both of them came a bit closer to each other and said in unison.

"I wish to help you achieve all the good things you and to achieve by supporting you all through it."

The priest spoke.

"The vow of Seven Sufferings Together is complete. I now announce you husband and wife. Please put on the rings to seal the vows."

They put the rings on each other's fingers.

"Now the husbands may kiss each other."

Magnus put his hands on Adonis's waist and Adonis put his on the shoulders softly as they softly pecked and kissed each other's lips.

They smiled as they parted.

Everyone in the audience cheered.

They rested their forehead against each other and Magnus whispered, "I love you."

Adonis smiled and whispered,"I love you too, husband."

Magnus chuckled at that.

The leaves, wildflowers and stars danced to the music of love that the air was playing. 

What is the greater joy in the world than knowing that the person you love, loves you back equally or even more?
