FILL: To Life 2/2 (Round 3, Charles/Erik, Erik wants a Jewish wedding)
(Anonymous) 2012-09-01 06:21 am (UTC)(link)A logical person would assume that, having navigated the minefield of the Cuba confrontation relatively intact, that the wedding would be easy in comparison. A logical person would be very, very wrong.
Erik was still Erik and Charles was still Charles -- their beliefs, ethics, and personalities hadn’t changed. They clashed. A lot. Fortunately the makeup sex was spectacular. And slowly but surely, Charles and Erik were listening, learning, and finding ways to compromise. It helped they were both committed to making it work. It also helped when Erik destroyed the helmet.
But. Add to this a house (a very large house, but still, one house) full of nine other mutants (Charles had been ever so glad when Darwin reassembled himself a few weeks after Cuba and shown up at the mansion, to say nothing of Alex’s reaction, but still, yet another mouth to feed), and one human ally. And each and every one of those people had opinions about the wedding.
Charles doesn’t want to think about the cake tasting. Or the formalwear fittings.
Or, dear god, the bachelor party.
He just wants to drink, and enjoy his wedding day, now that it’s finally here.
“Charles,” says Erik. “If Emma asks me one more question about ice sculptures, I will strangle her with a bedframe again.”
Charles slides his arm around his fiance’s waist, tucking himself under Erik’s shoulder. “Darling. You promised.”
Erik grumbles until Charles lets Erik steal his glass of champagne.
*****
“Why are we letting Azazel perform the ceremony again?” asks Erik.
“He won the water balloon war,” says Charles. Erik opens his mouth again, and Charles cuts him off. “Don’t ask.”
*****
Charles and Erik walk each other up the aisle, past their friends -- family -- to where Azazel is standing under the chuppah, held up by Sean, Alex, Hank, and Armando.
Charles barely remembers the ceremony -- he just remembers staring and smiling at Erik, who was smiling back at him, his thoughts broadcasting his joy. Words were spoken, and rings are exchanged -- rings Erik had made himself -- and promises are made.
He and Erik argue over who gets to stomp on the glass, and end up doing it together.
And then there’s kissing. And wolf whistles from the peanut gallery.
Someone yells “Mazel Tov!” And then there’s applause, and everyone rushing up to congratulate them and handshakes and hugs and well-wishes and laughter.
Erik leans down to murmur in his ear. “How soon can we sneak out of the reception and go back to our room and have sex?”
“I’ll distract everyone if you snag us some cake,” says Charles.
“I knew there was a reason I married you,” says Erik.
