CHAPTER 24: Death and the Dead

This was it; this was going to be the day where you would see all your friends again, all your teachers again. Your cover up was that people still thought you were sick and if anyone had asked what sickness you would say that you preferred not to talk about it. You had practised what you would say to yourself multiple times in the mirror while getting ready.

Honestly, you were very excited. I mean they're going to have CAKE at that wedding!! And I guess your friends who you haven't seen in weeks are going to be there too..

You had been stationed in the bathroom, doing your makeup in front of the mirror. You were never one for makeup but like come on, you have to cover up that tired depressed face for an event somehow right?

You were all going to be leaving in an hour and wanted to make sure that you were 100% ready.

To be fair, you were the only "human" in this house so obviously, you needed more time to get yourself ready. Sure, there were some things that humans have that you don't really get to experience. Huh now that I think about it that's not normal, is it..? Oh well, you were going to a party, you didn't need to worry about anything like that for now.

Once you were done, you left to see the three skeletons waiting in a line up for the bathroom. You let out a nervous giggle, passing them fully dressed up.

While you waited for the other three (which shouldn't take long) you had waited on the couch on your phone reading messages. Well, technically not your phone but Palette's. You weren't able to read messages through your phone or you would appear online, and you'd get bombarded with messages.

Time flew by quickly while reading through the group chat you were in, and before you knew it you were all getting into the car. It was only now that you were actually starting to get nervous, fidgeting in your seat. You could feel that your dad was too.

Your body was tense, and you were freaking out, what if you slipped up and told someone your secret? What happens if your friends are there? You wouldn't know what to do or what to say, would they even believe your cover up? You tried your best to keep calm but as soon as you parked where the ceremony was taking place, you began to panic once more.

You were parked in a car park of a motel outside of town. All the buildings were made of red bricks and were surrounded by greenery. There was a hall nearby with the doors shut where the after-party was probably taking place. After walking a bit closer, following signs, you found a garden behind the hall. Chairs were set up in lines, a flowered archway at the end, and a long white carpet going down the centre. The entire set was placed underneath a shelter that was undoubtedly made for the purpose of weddings.

There were groups of people placed around the garden, chatting amongst themselves. You hid behind your dad slightly, trying to eye out anyone you recognised. Which was pretty pointless since you knew the majority of the people here from school.

Thankfully, you had managed to hide until the officiator made his way to the set-up lectern, preparing to begin the ceremony. You quickly understood and made your way to your dad, dodging people as you went. You all took your seats.

Reaper took his place at the end of the aisle, as people made their way down. When the crowd looked back to watch him as he made his way down, you caught eyes with a few classmates. They seemed shocked but not isn't the time to be worrying about how the hell you got here.

After everyone made their way down the aisle including Geno who was looking fabulous might I add, the officiator began to speak.

"Welcome everyone! We are gathered here today to witness and celebrate the marriage of Geno and Reaper. This is not the beginning, but a celebration of the next chapter in their lives together. Today, they will affirm this bond formally and publicly. This affirmation is made even more meaningful because it's shared with each of you, their most cherished friends and family." He said, you couldn't help but smile at the sound of that. You knew that it was all a part of his script but somehow you felt that it was true. After all, both their family and yours were good friends. The officiator continued.

"Geno and Reaper, today you not only marry the right person, but you also commit to being the right partner—the one with whom the other can stand and face the world. It's time to joyfully seal this chapter with the declarations that will unite you in marriage."

Geno was clearly getting more nervous by the second, Reaper took notice of this and grabbed his hands, rubbing them with his thumbs soothingly. Their relationship was so pure, so happy.. It's a shame that relationships are more complicated to gain than they seem.

Do you Geno take Reaper to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, in good times and bad, for richer or poorer, committing yourself unto them for as long as you both shall live?"

"I do" Geno replied, tears pricking the corners of his eyes as he stared into Reapers also teary eyes.

Do you Reaper take Geno to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, in good times and bad, for richer or poorer, committing yourself unto them for as long as you both shall live?

"I do.." The entire crowd had been a smiling or teary mess, as they both said the most important lines in this entire ceremony. Although you weren't at the crying stage, you couldn't help but smile.

"Your wedding rings are a reminder of the vows you made to each other today. A ring is an unbroken circle, with ends that have been joined together. It represents your union. It is a symbol of infinity, and of your infinite love. It encircles an opening, which is the door to your future. When you look at these rings on your hands, be reminded of this moment, your commitment, and the love you feel for each other today."

"Geno place the ring on Reaper's finger and repeat after me: Reaper, I give you this ring as a symbol of my love with the pledge to love you today, tomorrow, always, and forever."

Geno repeated as he was told.

"Reaper place the ring on Geno's finger and repeat after me: Geno, I give you this ring as a symbol of my love with the pledge to love you today, tomorrow, always, and forever."

Reaper did the same.

"Geno and Reaper, before these witnesses you have pledged to be joined in marriage. You have sealed this pledge with your wedding rings. You may now seal this ceremony with a kiss." And they did just that. As soon as the officiator had completed his speech, Reaper had pulled Geno in and gave him a gentle, yet passionate kiss to his teeth.

It was a little awkward considering that they couldn't really kiss and just clanked their teeth together, but it worked so whatever. And although that beautiful ceremony had now been concluded, that also meant that the afterparty was now going to be beginning soon, and everyone knew you were here now.

This is going to be interesting...
