The 'I do's seemed so far away now, though they had happened merely an hour ago. Steve had been in the process of mingling with the guests when Percy came and stole him away.
"Come dance with me", he had said simply. And who was Steve to deny him that?
"I hope this was as perfect you wanted it to be", Steve mumbled into the boy's ear.
"I just got married to the most wonderful man on the planet", Percy scoffed, "it was beyond perfect."
And no one dared to interrupt as the two slow danced beneath the stars to a melody that was all their own. It was perfect, and Steve could have lived in that moment forever.
