Bug and Bird

Just Married

The party was in full swing. Everyone had just enough to be relaxed and loopy, but not enough to be fully drunk. Well, all except for Gilda and Rainbow Dash who were in a wine-induced dance off to ‘The Cha-cha slide’ on the dance floor. Ocellus was sitting off to the side, watching the party unfold, the music thumping in the distance. Ocellus heard wind whooshing and turned to see her new husband land right next to her with a smile. “Hey.”

“Hey.” She said, kissing him on the cheek.

“I’ve been looking all over for you. Party’s in full swing.” He said, taking a seat next to her.

“Haha. You know how it is, music and cheering got a little too much for me, you know?” She chuckled.

“Don’t I know it. I couldn’t hear a word down there!” They shared a laugh at that. The two sat in comfortable silence as they watched the party rage on. Ocellus wiggled closer and snuggled up under Gallus’s arm.

“Hey hun?” Ocellus said.

“Yeah, lovebug?”

“What comes after this?” Asked Ocellus, looking up at Gallus.

“Well, I reckon we’re to plan our honeymoon.” Said Gallus.

“You mean we haven’t yet!?” Exclaimed Ocellus.

“I uh, thought you were gonna do that…” The two stared at each other in silence for about 5 seconds before bursting out in laughter.

“God, we’re a mess.” Laughed Ocellus. Wiping away the tears from his laughter, Gallus wrapped a claw around Ocellus’ waste and brought her in for a deep kiss.

“Wh-what was that for!?” Ocellus said, grinning.

“I’m glad I get to be a mess with you.” Said Gallus, with a grin. Ocellus’s face got hot.

“Damn it! You’re too smooth for your own good!” She cried.

“Haha, I try babe.” He said with a wink. “But, yeah. I don’t know what comes after this. As long as I experience it with you by my side, I don’t think I care much, either.” Gallus responded. Ocellus smiled.

“You know, my entire school career was based around planning and notes and scheduling. So weird that my marriage would be so… free flow.”

“That ok?”

“Yeah. It is. I think it’s time to live for me.” The two sat, snuggling with each other, as the sun set over their wedding party.
