The Selection (1x1 with AnnaCat17)

[EchoOfShatteredIce]

Eleanor rested her head against Vice's chest as they danced. She glanced over at the newly wedded couple, smiling faintly. They looked so happy, Eleanor felt silly for worrying about them. She closed her eyes with a happy sighed, relaxing into Vice's arms.

Jakob was leaning heavily against Matteo, gripping his shoulder tightly as he used him for support. He was determined to have one dance with his fiance, even if he could barely stand up by himself.

Elliott gazed adoring into Romeo's eyes as they danced, her heart feeling like it would burst with happiness. She never thought she'd be able to get married to him after everything that had happened, but he loved her and she couldn't imagine wanting to be with anyone else.

Vice had his eyes closed as he rested his head against Ellie's, smiling contently as they danced. "You make me so happy." He mumbled quietly, not caring if she heard or not.

Matteo wanted to dance with Jakob. He wanted t spin him around the room and practically leap off the walls with him to get him to fill the hall with his laughter but the more Jakob strained to stay upright the more his heart broke for him. "Come on. Im tired and want to sit down." he said softly as he helped Jakob back to his chair, not bothering to even try to get halfway through the song.

Romeo grinned happily at her and softly kissed her nose. "Is it how you imagined it would be?" He asked as he spun her and pulled her close again. He was completely captivated by her and every time her eyes met his he felt his heart swell even more with love for her.

Eleanor's smile widened, and she hummed happily as they danced, listening to his heartbeat. "I love you, Vice."

Jakob was relieved, and he flopped back down into his chair. He wanted to continue dancing, but he was too tired and weak. Every muscle in his body ached, and he hadn't even done much. He knew most likely Matteo wasn't tired, and he was only resting for him, but he was grateful because he had felt like he was going to collapse.

"It's even better." Elliott giggled as he spun her around, pressing a kiss to his lips as he pulled her close.

"I love you too Nora." He lazily opened his eyes to look around them at all of the people and decorations. "What sort of wedding do you think you would want?"

Matteo sipped his drink as he looked around the room. He saw Pavel sitting and talking to their mother as his kids danced and played near the edge of the dance floor. He smirked faintly as he saw Dacey forcing Lysander to dance with her and the loving expressions Vice and Ellie had for eachother as they seemed content in their own world. His happiness at the wedding was quickly dashed as he wondered if Jakob would live to see the next one. "So who are we going to get to help us elope?" He asked as he looked at Jakob, giving him the best smile he could summon.

"Good. I wanted to make sure it was worth the wait for you." He kissed her lovingly and held her against, loving how small she felt in his arms and radiant she looked. "Welcome to the life of being a two, my dear."

"On a beach. With the weather nice and flowers everywhere. I want to design my wedding gown and Matteo's my maid of honour." Eleanor giggled at that. She kissed his chin, picturing getting married to him. It sounded like the best thing ever.

"Maisie." Jakob smirked at him. "And anyone else you want." He looked over at Dacey and Lysander, snickering at how awkward but happy Lysander looked. He reached over and took Matteo's hand with his ringed one, giving it a squeeze.

Elliott beamed happily, relaxed in his arms. She felt so tiny next to him, but didn't mind it. She rested her head against his chest, closing her eyes happily as she listened to his heartbeat and the music around them.

Vice chuckled and kissed her forehead. "I can't control the weather so hopefully it cooperates anyways." he teased happily.

"I think they have to be an adult to count as a witness. I was thinking just Ellie since she wont tell anyone and will know not to make a big deal out of it." he squeezed his hand and shifted so his head was resting on Jakob's shoulder. "Ill get everything set up so we can get it handled in a few days." He whispered softly, hoping Jakob would last that long.

[EchoOfShatteredIce]

Eleanor laughed, hugging him tighter. "We'd have to pick a day that's supposed to have good weather. I want it to be sunny!"

Jakob gently rested his head against Matteo's, sighing happily as he closed his eyes. "That'll be good. I want to get married to you as soon as possible. I can't wait to have you as my husband."

[AnnaCat17]

"But what if you burn? Do you really want to look like a lobster in your wedding dress?" He laughed as he playfully bit her shoulder to prove hos point.

Matteo hoped he was being honest. He hoped Jakob would be happy with him and that they both werent just getting married so that if he passed there would be someone to care for Maisie. "I love you. We will get through this." He whispered sadly.

[EchoOfShatteredIce]

Eleanor shrieked in laughter, burying her face in his shoulder. "There'll be shade, Vice! And I can put on sun protection." She laughed, covering his face with kisses.

"You're going to regret marrying me when I take up all the space in your bed," Jakob teased, running his fingers through Matteo's hair. "After you spend sleepless nights on the floor once you get pushed off, you'll be thinking about getting a bigger bed or a divorce. You need your beauty sleep to look your best all the time."

[AnnaCat17]

Vice laughed and met each of her kisses with one of his own. "Ill take the shade away. I think you deserve to be punished for all of the trouble you cause me."

Matteo chuckled. "Well i doubt ill be home much to use it so i dont think it would bother me too much."

Gabel got home late, tired after his date. He lingered on his driveway, looking up at the stars in thought as he fidgetted with his keys.
