Welcome to Atlantis Academy! (Lia && Chokuro)

The sheets were changed and Relic greeted him with a glass of water, smiling cheerfully as he looked at the other. "Here, love. Have some water then let's go to sleep. You want me next to you, right?" He asked, eyes keeping with his form, wanting to be sure that he wanted him.
 
Nodding a bit, Tanner climbed into the bed, and cuddled close to Relic once he'd settled in. The blond pressed his face into his husband's chest and wrapped his arms tightly around the man's waist. "I... I feel weak," he admitted softly. "Like... I... I was always the strong one to protect you, even if you were the one who had the strength to kill and live forever. And now... I feel like a fucking girl, all scared and sad and needing protection... I hate it." Tanner cuddled closer.
 
Relic looked down at the other and he sighed softly. He held him with a kiss to the man's temple, hugging him a little bit tighter. "Don't feel that way." he whispered, kissing his head again. "Though, I sort of like being the man for once." He giggled and shrugged his shoulders. "You'll get back to being the big bad man of the family soon. I know you will. And don't tell me you feel like a girl, it'll only make me shove you into a dress." His eyes fluttered to his and he kissed his cheek. "You're already so much better, Tanner."
 
"Try it," he dared. "See how fast you get sex again." He was pouting, and wallowing in his self misery. Tanner knew that he was beginning to feel better, but he still couldn't help feeling pathetic. The blond closed his eyes and soaked in Relic's presence, drawing strength from his husband as he drifted off to sleep.
 
A few more days passed and Relic really was quite happy. He loved that Tanner was all right after he was able to top, and well, he wanted to again! He smiled as he walked over to where his lover was, being sure to not sneak up on the man, and he moved to sit next to him. "Tanner..." He began, turning to look at him, lightly tugging at the side of his shirt. "Are you... up for some sex again?" He asked, head tilting to the side. "Me on top? I want to see if it'll help some more and... the selfish bitch in me wants sex again and I liked being on top." He only waited centuries for it!
 
He stiffened slightly at the request. Tanner knew that Relic wouldn't hurt him, but something about not being the one to initiate scared him. The blond turned to Relic and kissed his cheek. "Soon, Gorgeous," he promised in a whisper. He smiled, an idea forming in his head. "Marry me... Renew our vows..." Something told him that it might help; that Relic agreeing to renew their vows, even after this had happened, would help. It would mean that he was accepting him and loving him despite it all, because even though the words were spoken and Tanner knew that he wouldn't be lied to, actions seemed to push him further along in his recovery.
 
Relic blinked a few times and pulled away. "Only if we can have a whole ceremony again." He stated, arms crossing over his chest. "Little one. Just the immediate family and stuff. But I want to be able to walk down an aisle and wear a beautiful dress." He really was a little pampered diva. He smiled warmly at Tanner, pushing his hair away from his face to look into his eyes. "I'm still high maintenance, love." He giggled gently and kissed his forehead. "Just be happy I'm not demanding a new ring. SO! We'll have a Wedding two-point-oh next sunday. That sound good?"
 
"A ring is nothing," he commented with a laugh. "I think Calder would have to buy Rune an entire country for him to run if he ever wanted to have another ceremony. And maybe a car." The blond nodded and kissed Relic. He stood and stretched before heading over to the other side of the house. May as well make use of his in-laws and take over their island for a second honeymoon!
 
Relic giggled happily. "YAY! Surprise me with something pretty!" He called after him, bouncing a few times on the seat before he squealed and ran off to make his wedding dress.

Rune yanked a piece of chocolate from one of the stray kid's hand. "Mine!" He huffed, glaring at the boy who for whatever reason followed him home. At least it was a little more appropriate seeing as the boy had little puppy ears and tail, which were currently limp from being denied chocolate and slightly yelled at. He stuck his tongue out before turning to see Tanner, perkign up. "hey! What's up?"
 
Tanner looked at the boy and shook his head. He took the candy from Rune and snapped it in half, handing one to the boy and the other back to Rune while sticking his tongue out at him. "I'm marrying your brother," he announced. "And taking over Avalon for...a while." He nodded and then looked to the boy. "Have you told Calder yet?" he asked, pointing to the stray. "You know that he's yours now, right?"
 
Rune pouted when the candy was halved. He looked down at the boy and he sighed heavily. "No. He just keeps following me." He ruffled the blue locks on top of his head before turning to Tanner. "You're marrying Relic? congrats! Just don't fuck up my island. I like it." He stated, finishing off the chocolate and crossing his arms over his torso. "When's the wedding? and do I have to go?"
 
"Well, maybe that's a hint to tell your husband that you have a new child..." Tanner rolled his eyes at Rune. "Sunday. Yes you have to come. Relic's already started making another wedding dress for himself and will kill you if you don't." The blond bent down to the puppy-eared boy. "What's your name, sweetie? Has your new Mama fed you anything besides chocolate?"
 
The boy looked up at Tanner, his black ears pulling back a little, tail swaying slower before the mention of chocolate came. He shook his head with a grin. "Nope! Only chocate!" He giggled and hugged Rune's leg tighter.

Rune sighed softly. "Let's go tell Calder and get some real food." He pouted, knowing this may not end the best. He looked over at Tanner and he smiled a little more. "Just let me know the time, I'll be there for your wedding." He scooped the boy off his leg, resting him on his hip and sighing. "What is your name?"

"Castiel." The boy giggled, tail wagging excitedly behind him.
 
"Relic will give you the details," he called after them, shaking his head and going back home. Relic will have another dress to make with the new addition, and would need fair warning for it. The blond poked his head into the sewing room. Tanner watched Relic for a little while; he loved to see his husband in his element and up to his eyebrows in fabrics. "You have a new nephew," he announced with a slight smile after a few minutes. "And we have a honeymoon spot."
 
Relic poked his head up, looking over the fabrics he was cutting -- a gorgeous pink-hued one which he was planning to embroider. "Oh?" He asked, grinning. "Is he cute? The nephew." He added and then pulled a chair closer, tapping it for his lover to sit and chat. He loved when they used to do that. IT really was always wonderful He loved him so very much, nothing would ever be able to change that.
 
Smiling, he moved into the room. Tanner pulled the stool behind Relic and sat, resting his hands at his husband's hips and his chin on Relic's shoulder. "Adorable. Puppy ears and a tail, enormous eyes... Been following Rune around for a few days at least." He shook his head at the cliche of it all. "And let Rune know what time on Sunday." Tanner sat and watched Relic, more comfortable than he had been in a very long time.
 
Relic nodded a few times, scissors gliding through teh fabric while he listened to the description of the boy. "He does sound adorable. I'll make him my flower girl/ring bearer." He giggled and finished the one section of fabric, folding it and setting it aside then began to cut out the rest. "I'm thinking evening. We can get married when the sun is setting and have the reception and everything afterward, maybe some snacks before." He shrugged. "I haven't quite gotten those details out, but I think 7 will be a good time."
 
He nodded. Whatever Relic wanted was perfectly fine with him. "I'll talk to Calder tonight, and call in some caterers to help him." Though it would be small, Tanner wanted his friend to enjoy the wedding, not work it. "What flowers?" he asked, pressing kisses along Relic's jaw without thought. "Roses? Lilies? Daisies? Orchids?" He nuzzled into the warm flesh. "Tell me everything you want, and I'll take care of it."
 
Relic giggled at the kissed then looked at the dress and thought for a while. "Pink chrysanthemums." He said, looking at the dress and smiling a little bit more. "With some white lilies for contrast and height I think." He smiled with a nod then thought a little more. "I don't think we should do too much for the wedding this time. Just an archway, the runner for us to walk on, ring bearer because we have one..." He thought while he cut, humming lightly. "The food, obviously. Maybe some crystals and lights on the aisle... You know. Something where there are the thin little poles holding up strands of crystals and lights so that they'll be glowing and pretty."
 
Making mental notes, Tanner nodded. Nothing big. But lots of flowers, some pretty crystals and faerie lights. The blond nipped at his husband's ear before moving to go start the preparations. "Any last requests?" he asked, making notes of anything else his husband asked for and then left. The jewelry store was first, and the blond found the perfect ring: Platinum, beautifully and intricately carved with diamonds nestled into the recesses. Tanner paid and left, assured that the custom-made piece would be ready by Saturday. The florist and caterer, and then a decorator to help with the simple theme his love wanted. The blond then stopped in the lingerie store, picking out a gorgeous, hand sewn and embroidered white and silver corset, and matching panties to give to Relic once they reached Avalon. Satisfied with his purchases, the blond returned home to store away the present.
 
Relic looked up at the other, smiling warmly. "Yes! Don't come into my sewing room until after the wedding. Or if I ask." He giggled and blew him a kiss before gladly getting to work on everything. This was perfect. It was exactly what they needed, and he could not be happier about it.

It did not seem to take long for Sunday to come around, but it had, and Relic was bouncing off the walls. Castiel was in a cute three-piece suit, the vest the same pink to match Relic's dress and the rest of it white, and a chrysanthemum as the flower on the suit's jacket.
Relic's dress came out beuatiful. Corset bodice with intricate swirling embroidery that went up from the left corner and made it to the middle, thinning out as it went. The design reached the bottom of the simple a-line skirt which fell to pink shoes that he put the real flowers on. his bouquet made up of calla lilies and chrysanthemums. He looked stunning, and the smile he wore only made it better.

Rune came in - his suit matching Castiel's to a tee - and kissed his brother's cheek. "It's looking good, relic. I think I like it better than nthe first..."
 
Everything went off without a hitch. Tanner was glad for it, and breathed a sigh of relief as he saw his love walking down the aisle. Relic looked beautiful, of course, and everyone's suits were flawless. Even Rune was being a good sport. Tanner would have to remember to thank him. As his lover reached the alter, Tanner leaned forward and kissed his cheek while whispering to him. "You look beautiful, sweetheart."

The ceremony itself was quick-each saying their own vows. When it came time to kiss, the blond pulled Relic to him tightly, and kissed him with everything he had.
 
Relic squeaked and giggled as he was yanked into his love. His arms looped around his shoulders and he hugged him while kissing him back just as passionately. He meant every single one of his vows. For better, for worse. Everything in between. He would be there for everything and be there always. He slowly pulled away with a wink. "Save that for our honeymoon." He pecked his lips before pausing and leaning away. "Want to bail and go there now or go to the reception?" he asked, happy to do either that his love wanted.
 
Tanner kissed his lover once more before pulling back to nuzzle along his jaw and neck. "I suppose we should make an appearance," he whispered. The blond nipped at the other man's ear before pulling away completely and leading Relic out towards the courtyard where they'd set everything up. Someone had lead the rest of the guests out that way already and he was thankful for it. "Besides," he answered as they walked. "This way you can wonder about what I bought you for our honeymoon just a little longer..." Grinning, Tanner lead Relic into the reception.
 
Relic squeaked, skipping after the other and then kissed his cheek lightly. "You tease." He whispered into his ear while heading to the area where really only the closest of their relatives and friends were. He sat down at their table, right leg draping over his left and he looked at his love, kissing his cheek gently. "I love you, sexy man."
