Bright, big eyes blinked slowly as she observed the sleeping face of her wife. The late morning sun was creeping beneath the thick curtains, casting just the dimmest of light across her pale features. Dark locks were tussled across the pillow, random spots sticking at odd angles from a cute display of bedhead. Despite the light snore and occasional mumble, sleep was about the only moment Akos looked so peaceful and not plagued by the troubles of the past. It was always hard to wake her from such peace, but alas, Aishe had a big day planned ahead. So, she leaned close and pressed a light kiss to her wife's nose, receiving a grumble in return.-------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------
Ves'tacha.... Her tone was soft, trying to lure Akos from the kingdom of sleep. Even with the rising excitement, she kept her voice to a whisper. Wake up, wake up! Today, we are getting married.
A'ready married.
The sleep-slurred words were muffled from the pillow as Akos tossed over. Aishe scooted closer, nuzzling into the crook of her neck.
Yes, yes, but... We never got a wedding. Not a real wedding. We just, bam, got married - and I don't take it back because it's been wonderful being your wife and all for the last five years, but OH! Aishe nuzzled a bit more before rolling out of bed, a clear spring in her step. Haven't you just ever daydreamed of a real wedding? Flowers, friends, strawberries, dancing.
I dream of sleep, Aishe. We can get married in my dreams.
Oi, you loser. Aishe went around to the other side of the bed and pulled the blankets back. Akos opened her dark eyes, keeping them narrowed while she tried to reach down to grasp the covers without actually moving. The vampire gave an innocent smile before dashing over to open the curtains and back to the bed. So, everything has been arranged. Your outfit, the guests, the ceremony, the decorations, the food... All you have to do is get up, get dressed, and show up to the ceremony. I did all the work. See, easy.
When in Mages did you even have time to do all this? We've been so busy.
Oh, you know, just the last few days. Who needs months when you don't sleep! Again, narrowed eyes fell on the slender blonde, who gave a grin in return. Aishe moved forward, sitting on the edge of the bed. The grin softened to a smile, head tilting. With everything going on, I think we all deserve a nice get together and distraction. Us and our friends.
Alrighttttt. Akos finally sat up, rubbing at her eyes and rolling her shoulders. Smile widening, Aishe placed a kiss upon her wife's lips before hopping up.
Get ready. I'm going to check on everything and then I'll be back to get ready myself. If you want to be extra nice, maybe get the boys ready for the day? Their outfits are sitting out already too. I am so happy the weather is on our side - looks like a nice, normal sunny day in July!
Content with the grumbling 'okay' from Akos, Aishe made for the door and headed downstairs. There was a quiet bustle of servants around Mona Manor, prepping here and there. They had resided in the recently restored home for about a month now and it had not been without its drama. The situation, living and otherwise, was... Odd, to say the least. Akos still wasn't entirely over Aishe's trickery to get her to agree to the move. Still, it was much better than the two bedroom home for the six of them - with the added bonus of living with Sokanon and Serendipity again. Plus, well...
Bright eyes caught the familiar male figure moments before he disappeared into the study. If she could blush, her cheeks would surely be bright red. Flustered thoughts were pushed down as she continued towards the front door and slipped out into the sun. Yes, she was right. Today was a perfectly average day, without the craziness of odd weather or falling rocks. With a sigh of relief, her gaze moved beyond to the surrounding land that was decorated.
There were flowers and streamers strewn about in an ordered chaos, making the outdoors more inviting than the will-be stuffy indoors. Lanterns and candles were sat or hung here and there to later be lit, with no intention of letting the sunset be the end of the party. Light fabrics were hoisted in loose tents and shelters from the sun, with low seats and tables scattered both under and beyond the fabric. It was a colourful array for a colourful couple.
Pleased with the initial sight of things, she began to wander the grounds to ensure all was good on closer inspection. With everything appearing in good shape, she retreated indoors and back to her now-empty bedroom. Despite herself, her stomach began to flutter with some anxiety. For a long time, she had dreamt of doing something like this. It just never felt like the right time. It wasn't until recently that she realized maybe there was no "right time" unless she made it the right time. And so, that was what she did. Excitedly, the icy eyes fell down to the dress she had had designed for this very day.
