Mizuki looked around himself with the largest smile on his face. Everything had come along perfectly. All the trees surrounding the cabin were wrapped by fairy lights that lit up the dark forest. The area was cleared for all the guests that would be attending and the area next to the stream was arranged flawlessly for the ceremony to take place.
Mizuki was shaking with how nervous he was but there was no denying that he was also beyond excited. This was the day they have been waiting for for over two years. This was the day that Eren was officially going to be his.
His husband, his king.
"Mizuki!"
Mizuki turned around and saw his sister glaring at him as she ushered him to her. He walked towards her and let her grab his wrist and pull him back inside the cabin, away from their people.
"You're not supposed to go out yet, you idiot." She scolded him and he laughed softly.
"I just wanted to make sure everything was okay." He told her and she scoffed.
"I already checked a million times and we have people to make sure that nothing goes awry." She assured him as she pushed him to sit on the bed in the room.
Mizuki felt a small smile tug at his lips as he looked around the cabin. He remembered the first time he and Eren had found it. It looked different from back then but somehow it was still the same.
It was still their own little safe place.
Shortly after Mizuki proposed to Eren, they had started meeting at this very cabin whenever they could. They renovated some of the place and got new and appropriate furniture along with actual food. Over the past two years, they built their own home where they could be who they wanted without fear of anyone questioning them.
They were free to love here however they wanted.
"Where's Eren?" Mizuki asked as she started fixing his hair that he had let her braid earlier.
He was skeptical when she first suggested braiding his hair but after she told him that Eren would love it he finally relented.
"He said he will be here on time for the ceremony, so that must mean he will be here anytime now." She said and he hummed as his leg started shaking.
"Mizuki, are you nervous?" Rin asked as she sat next to him and rested her hand on his knee to stop his movements.
Mizuki glanced down at his sister, her hair half up with small white flowers littered on top of her head as a crown. She was wearing a light green gown, appropriate for their theme and her neck adorned with her royal pendant.
A/N: I was trying to find outfits for all of them and I couldn't really find anything that fit Eren and Mizuki's outfits but I did find this dress that I know Rin is wearing and it's so pretty that I had to share
"Of course I'm nervous. It's my wedding day." Mizuki grumbled and she laughed.
"Everything is going to be perfect. We made sure to make this day the best day for you and Eren and I won't let anything ruin it. I promise." She said, her voice filled with finality and Mizuki felt pride swell in his chest.
She was truly made to be Queen. Although, she still had another two years to go before Hiroshi lets go of the crown as he is still young and perfectly capable of running the country.
The four years was giving Rin time to thoroughly prepare herself and also to give her the chance to do whatever she wants before she has to rule.
What she said was true, though. They worked so hard to make today happen the way it was. The fact that it was happening in the middle ground meant that both citizens from Yarisha and Rivania were welcome to attend.
They had tight security all around the area to make sure everyone was behaving and everyone knew how severe the consequences would be if someone dared to ruin the royal wedding.
Mizuki opened his mouth to answer but before he could he heard loud cheers coming from outside and he knew what that meant.
Eren had arrived.
He felt his chest squeeze from nerves and he took a deep breath to calm himself down before he stood up with Rin by his side.
He let his eyes go to the mirror that was against the wall and after one last glance at himself he gave himself a nod of encouragement. He was wearing a black royal suit that had gold detailing along the sleeves and around the collar, it was supposed to match with Eren who was going to be wearing a white suit with gold detailing.
They both walked out of the cabin and near the stream where the main ceremony would take place. Mizuki's eyes ran over the crowd and he smiled as he recognized familiar faces.
Arlen and his partner, Asami. Mizuki remembered the first time he caught the both of them making out in his father's throne room when Eren came to visit him with Arlen as his guard. He was horrified to know that while he was spending time with Eren in his chambers Arlen had managed to make their most trusted guard fall in love with him.
Mizuki was especially bitter because he still believed that Arlen must have been in love with Eren at some point. But when he saw the way Arlen looked at Asami, as if they were the moon and stars all together he let go of his bitterness. Asami was a good person and he knew that Arlen would treat them well so he hadn't caused a fuss when he found out about their relationship.
But Hiroshi on the other hand was furious when he found out about what went down in his throne room and then when Asami announced they wanted to leave Rivania to go to Yarisha to be with Arlen Mizuki was sure his father would have a stroke.
His eyes then caught sight of Hana and Emiko in each other's arms and when Hana saw him she gave him a bright smile and a wave that he returned.
His eyes then saw his favourite little guy and he felt a laugh leave him when he saw him eating three pastries at once. Benji stuck his tongue at his brother, Mervin when the older of the two stared in disgust at his younger brother.
One of the first things Mizuki did when he visited Yarisha with Eren was find Benji and thank him for supporting Eren. He didn't expect Benji to quite literally attach himself to them for the rest of the day and they ended up hanging out together as both Eren and Benji showed him around.
Mizuki finally looked away from the crowd and instead at the front of it where his sweetheart was and when his eyes finally landed on him he felt his breath hitch and his eyes widened.
Eren was indeed wearing a white royal suit that was almost the exact same one as Mizuki's. The colour made his skin pop and even from far Mizuki could see Eren's honey eyes shining brightly.
Next to Eren was Marcella who was smiling at Mizuki as he walked towards them. She was wearing a beige gown and on her head was her gold crown. Over the years Mizuki had watched Marcella change and now when he looked at her he never saw the meek woman he had seen that one day during the meeting.
Mizuki's eyes went back to Eren and when he was finally at his arm's length Mizuki didn't hesitate to grab his wrist and pull him to his chest.
"You look absolutely mesmerizing, sweetheart." Mizuki whispered in his ear before leaving a small kiss on his blushing cheek.
"Mizuki." Eren hissed. "You're not supposed to do this right now."
"I don't care." Mizuki said but after a few moments of squeezing Eren to his chest, he unwrapped his arm from him and took a small step back.
He watched as Eren's eyes widened when he saw his braids and he lifted his hand and softly touched them.
"They're so pretty." He whispered and Mizuki grinned.
They were so lost in their own bubble, unaware of how everyone around them started in admiration and adoration.
But before they could get too carried away Hiroshi stepped in and cleared his throat.
"We should start." He said and both men nodded their heads. Eren took a step away from Mizuki and stood straight, facing the crowd.
They drowned out Hiroshi's speech as it went on and on and then finally it was time for Mizuki to make his own.
Usually the queen would kneel in front of the king and say yes to everything the previous king was saying but this time since circumstances were different they changed things around.
Mizuki did kneel in front of Eren but he didn't just agree to something someone said. He made his own promises to Eren and the country.
He promised to do everything to protect Eren and Yarisha. He promised to be the best Prince consort he could be to the country and always put the benefit of the country first. He promised to protect its people and do everything to maintain the newly found peace.
When he finished talking he heard loud cheers from the crowd and then he felt the weight of the crown being placed on his head by who he knew was Eren. He looked up to see Eren's eyes glistening with tears and just as he made a move to stand Eren kept his hands on his shoulders and then he too, kneeled down.
Mizuki's eyes widened because he knew that wasn't part of the ceremony but he let it happen. Eren cupped his face in his hands and then he made his own promises that resembled the ones Mizuki made.
But he added onto them by promising to be the best king not only to Yarisha but to Mizuki. He promised to let Mizuki guide him and that they would assure the best for the country together. That after today, it wouldn't be just him that would be responsible for every single citizen of Yarisha.
When he was done Hiroshi handed Mizuki the crown designed for the king with a proud smile and Mizuki held it in his shaky hands. He raised his hands and gently rested the crown on top of Eren' curls.
He then cupped Eren's cheek, his thumb rubbing over the freckles and then he leaned closer and gently pressed his lips against Eren's letting the sound of the crowd's cheers fade away and instead all he could focus on was his love, his husband.
"I love you." He whispered against Eren's lips.
"I love you more, Mizuki." Eren said and then their lips met again in a loving kiss.
-
After a couple of hours of dancing, socializing and entertaining the crowd, people finally started to leave and soon Mizuki and Eren were finally left alone in their cabin.
They were laying on the bed, Eren's head resting on top of Mizuki's chest, comforted by the feeling of his chest moving with each breath he took and the sound of his heartbeat almost lulling him to sleep.
As soon as they had entered they hadn't held themselves back and they finally let themselves love each other completely. In every way.
Despite the fact that they've been together for so long they had never gone all the way. Maybe it was because they wanted to spend their limited time doing something else or maybe because they were waiting for this exact night to do it.
They wanted their first time to be when they were tied together for the rest of their lives. They didn't want to do it when they were still scared of the possible future and what could possibly go wrong.
But now, they were married and planning on staying together for eternity and nothing could have stopped them.
"M'so glad Mizuki." Eren said as he pressed a gentle kiss on Mizuki's chest.
"About what?" Mizuki asked, his fingers running through Eren's curls.
"About meeting you in the middle ground. About loving you. About letting you love me." Eren said and Mizuki grinned. "I'm glad too, sweetheart. I'm glad that I let myself love you. And I'll never stop loving you."
Hello!!
Thoughts?
I have no clue if I'm satisfied with the way I ended it or not but all I know is that this is the last chapter!! There's still the epilogue left and I'll try to make that really really really good.
I'm sorry about the lack of details of what happened, I know some of you might be disappointed but I didn't want to write anything sexual especially not here bc it's a soft chapter and I'm okay with the way it is right now.
They're happy, they're in love and they're fucking married!!!
The wedding ceremony might not have been what you guys expected but I wanted to make it my own way and I didn't exactly write word for word what they said but I'm happy with the way it turned out and I hope you guys are too.
I'll make a final author's note with the epilogue so for today, this is it! I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter.
