He lifted his hand, a motionless wave, as he wished his new ❛ friends ❜ - a couple of men from Bluestem Prairie - a goodnight before he was on his way home, shoulder pressed against Mick’s. ❝ You’ve had a long day, haven’t you? ❞ Mick pulled him closer, pressing a long and gentle kiss against the side of his head. Even whilst the gesture had become something of the norm for the couple, the butterflies in his stomach still persisted. ❝ That was the best wedding I’ve ever been to. ❞ He insisted, nose scrunching up as he grinned a lopsided smile up towards Mickey. ❝ I mean… It’s the first wedding I’ve ever been to, but it was lush! ❞
Mickey guided Green home. He guided him home with such care and compassion, Green couldn’t help but feel gratitude as he welcomed himself back into the comfort of their temporary home. Removing his blazer and messily suspending it from a coat hook, Green wordlessly followed his boyfriend into the bedroom. He took the cue from Mickey before he began to undress but, unlike Mick, he wasn’t nearly as dexterous. It didn’t seem to matter in that moment, the two men simply enjoying each other’s company. Mick was talking, reflecting on the day as a whole. Green enjoyed the day, too. It was his best friend’s special day - he deserved a life of happiness.
❝ Yeah? ❞ He urged Mick to continue, gazing at him fondly. And, as he watched the way he recalled the night, Vernon was certain that Mickey was the sweetest soul alive. With his foot, Green nudged his clothes towards his overnight bag. He rolled his shoulders back, and then confirmed, ❝ I really liked it. ❞ It started out as nothing more than complimenting the beautiful day, but it would only snowball into a moment far more sobering to Green.
He could admire marriage from afar, yet it still felt just too far-fetched for a man like him. Commitment was daunting, especially when all memories of forever were still so fleeting. Family was supposed to be forever, and yet Vernon spent most of his years alone. It wasn’t that he didn’t want a forever with somebody; he was simply afraid that their forever would be short-lived.
Upon falling in love for the very first time, Vernon had come to realize that he’d much rather a fleeting forever than an everlasting nothing. If he could have Mick for one year or one hundred, he’d still love him until his heart erupted.
Clad in nothing more than boxers and socks, he wandered over to Mick. ❝ Your kind of wedding? ❞ Broad arms clumsily circled around Mick’s frame, hesitating for only a second before using his dead weight to messily tug the both of them onto the mattress. With a frivolous cackle, Vernon rolled onto his back and tipped his head back onto the mattress, blinking up at the darkened ceiling. ❝ Would you ever want to get married? ❞ He questioned, turning his head to look at Mick. ❝ A wedding is… awesome, sure, but do you like the idea of one day being married to someone? Like… forever? ❞ Words were curious, not critical, as he gazed across Mick’s features.
For a man so afraid of lifelong commitment, Vernon entertained the thought of marriage a lot that day. The idea of him getting married someday and, honestly, the thought of a forever with Mickey wasn’t really that terrifying. In fact, it felt more like relief.
After years of desperately trying to create a happy life for others, Green only deserved to create a happy life for himself, too.
❝ You know, ❞ Green looked back up at the ceiling, head spinning delightfully from his joyous evening at the saloon. But despite his intoxication, his words were sober. ❝ I always disliked the idea of marriage. ❞ He was quiet for a moment, deep in his very own contemplation, until he rolled onto his side to hang his arm over Mick’s chest, head resting on his shoulder. ❝ But, then again; I had never fallen in love before. Really fallen in love... ❞ Eyes fluttered shut tiredly, snuggling up against his boyfriend. ❝ Until you. ❞
Green allowed the silence to swallow him whole, his heart pounding against his chest at where he was leading the conversation. Anticipation; would Mick agree with him? ❝ Now it feels less scary and more - what’s the word? - just… something to look forward to. A love that really does get to last forever. I want love forever! I could love you forever. Yeah? When’s the wedding, Mick? ❞ He cackled lightheartedly, finally lifting his head to look over at Mick with a playful smile.
Even whilst words appeared jovial, it made Vernon think: Mick was someone that he'd be happy spending the rest of his life with.
