The family settles down for dinner. Delirious across from Vanoss and Lea across from Ray. They dig into the lagsana Lea had made before Jonathan and Evan arrived. Ray takes a sip of his wine and then looks up at his son, “So Evan, Jonathan and I were talking; when do you two want to have the wedding?”

“How about June 26th?” Evan suggests. Jonathan smiles, “Yeah.”

They all take a sip of wine. Ray looks at Lea, “Your mother and I want to pay for the whole wedding.” Vanoss nearly spits out his wine, “What? No, Dad that’s-”

“Evan, I haven’t been a great father to you and this is how I want to make it up.” Suddenly a nasty feeling hits Evan’s gut. He remembers the day his dad figured out he was gay.

Glass breaks as the 24 year old packs up his stuff. “Ray! Knock it off!”

“How can he be a CEO of a big company if he’s a fucking faggot?!”

“The world has changed sweetie!” Another glass bottle is thrown. Tears drop onto the red duffle bag of the owl’s. “He had a wonderful girlfriend! Now look at him!” Evan rushes out of the house as fast as he can. His mother watches her only child leave the house. “You’re drunk Ray. Get the fuck up now.” That’s the last thing Evan hears from his mother before shutting the door. He’d never heard her swear before, especially at Dad. Even if he was sober, Ray still would’ve reacted negatively to Evan’s discovery.

“Evan, I want to show you that I love you, no matter what. I want to do what any other father would in the world, and give my son the best damn wedding any couple could have,” Ray explains. This makes Evan smile at Jonathan. The blue eyes seem to scream “yes!” at Evan. The musician grabs the hand of his photographer, “Do we have a theme?”

“Your mother had a wonderful idea,” Ray states after clearing his throat. Lea smiles and sets down her fork. She places her red velvet tipped hands together, “I was think rainbow. Colorful. Not only to represent the LGBT community, but to represent how colorful both of your personalities are,” she pauses and turns to Delirious, “Once Evan told us about you, we went back and watched a few of his videos with you. We’ve seen your art of our son and other beautiful things. You’re loving, hilarious, and talented.” Evan turns to his red-faced fiancé and smiles.

After dinner Evan and Jonathan go upstairs into Evan’s childhood room. “Wow,” the clown says while looking at his fiancé’s stuff. Evan takes in the face of Jonathan’s as he looks at Evan’s hockey stuff. He pretends to walk all tough with the stick in his hand. In a deep announcer's voice Jonathan says, “Here comes the one and only, Evan Fong!” He mocks an audience screaming. Jonathan pretends to dodge someone and he swings at an actual puck. It hits Evan’s dresser and knocks down a few objects of his. Evan laughs so hard his gut starts to hurt. Jonathan’s jaw drops and he makes a worried face as he picks up the objects. “Sorry,” he apologizes as he lays on the bed beside his love. “So, who’s going to be your best man?” Jonathan questions Evan. He puts on a face of panic, “Fuck. I don’t know.”

“Well,” Jonathan starts and sits up on his elbow, “let’s just choose people to stand beside us as we…” the pallid hand of Jonathan intertwines with the tan one of Evan’s. Their rings clinking together, “get married,” Evan finishes his sentence.

“So who’s going to stand beside you?” Evan asks this time. Jonathan looks up at the ceiling, “Definitely, Luke… but damn, everyone else might have to sit.”  An idea sprouts from Evan, “Wait, how about no one stands with us? They all sit up front? Is that alright?”

“That takes a weight off of my shoulders,” Jonathan chuckles and as usual for the past gaming years, Evan joins in with his psychopathic laughter. Their laughing slowly dies out and they’re left staring at each other.  They inch closer and connect their lips in one quick kiss. Another quick kiss. One last kiss that seems to last forever. When they pull away their eyes lock. Memories connect them together; good and bad; the douchebag taking photos of Evan, adopting Blue, Evan getting robbed and having their first kiss on his surprisingly not stolen couch. Miss Shuman threatening Jonathan and Evan actually fucking killing her.

The men seem to think the same thoughts at the same time, “How didn’t I get caught for that?”

“Ryland and I did some hardcore explaining.”

“Oh. Speaking of Ryland, are we inviting Shane and them?”

“Fuck yes!” Jonathan sits up on the bed and grabs his laptop from the bag beside the bed. “We should probably call the boys now.”

“I’ll message them.”

About 10 minutes later several faces appear shocked at Evan and Jonathan’s news. Those several faces include Anthony (Jiggly), Brock (Moo), Tyler (Wildcat), Craig (Mini), Luke (CaRtOoNz), Brian (Terrorizer), Bryce, Ryan (Ohm), Daithi, (Nogla), Lui, Marcel, (Basically), Scotty (407) and plenty of other friends. “You all are invited,” Evan announces. They’re all still sitting there with their jaws dropped. Anthony is still wheezing by how shocked everyone else is, “I fucking called it!” He screams and wheezes again. “I think every had a nudge, because of the fact they both weren’t playing,” Marcel states. “Plus, those of us who like your music Evan have listened to this recent one,” Tyler adds in. “So the photos for your recent album were all taken by this illiterate clown?” Luke questions and laughs; he was one of the only ones to actually know about Vanoss and Delirious, so he tried hiding it. “Well, when the hell is the wedding, and where?” Scotty asks, everyone else nods. “Do we have a dress code?” Craig adds another question.

“I think it’s going to be in California,” Evan randomly blurts. Jonathan slowly turns to him, “We need to tell your dad that then A.S.A.P.”

“Good, some of us won’t have to go far,” one of the guys say.

“Well fock!” Daithi and Brian shout at basically the same time, but they later say how it’s worth the trip to watch their friends get married.

“The dress code is anything that goes with the rainbow,” Jonathan explains and smiles.

“Ooooo, I’m excited to see this,” Brock cheers and the others join in. In the middle of laughter and cheering, Daithi speaks up, “Ya know, this is all my work.”

“How?”

“What?”

Multiple people question their tall friend. He clears his throat, “I’m pretty sure I’m the one who made the perfect couple video for them!” Some of the guys laugh and some of them argue with Daithi. The couple says their goodbyes and goes on to tell Ryland, Shane, and their group of friends.

“WILL I SEE THE KITTEN!?” Garrett shouts over the Skype call. Shane gives him a dirty look and then laughs, “We’re super fucking excited for you guys. We want to invite you to our wedding as well.”

Both Evan and Jonathan gasp, “You guys are getting married?!”

“Yup!”

“That’s amazing! I can do a wedding photoshoot for you guys!”

They both act shook, “We were about to ask you that! That’d be amazing Jonathan. Thank you.”

“Are you guys getting one done for your wedding invitations?” Ryland asks the fellow gay couple. Jonathan turns to Evan, “We could use the ones I took when we were having sex-” Evan instantly shuts that down. Shane laughs with Jonathan. “So what’s the theme of this wedding?” Shane asks so he, Ryland, Andrew, Morgan, and Garrett know what to wear. “Rainbow theme, LGBT, whatever you want to call it,” Evan answers.

“Oooo, I’ve got plenty of ideas for my outfit!” Ryland shouts and stands up to start looking. Shane shakes his head, “He’s so gay.” They all laugh as Shane waves goodbye and hangs up. The couple then falls back onto the red bed of Evan’s. “Damn, why is that so exhausting?”

“What?” Evan questions the blue eyes.

“Calling people,” Jonathan answers in a dramatic sigh. Evan runs his fingers through Jonathan’s nicely kept hair, “You’re a dork.”

“I know.”

They lay and stare at each other for a while. Suddenly Jonathan has a thought; when was the last time they had sex? He tries to shake the thought out of his horny head; both of them. “Do you think your parents are asleep?”

“Probably not. What’d you have in mind?”

“You.”

Evan grabs Jonathan by the wrist and pulls him to another childhood place of Evan’s. Evan was going to have beautiful sex with his soon-to-be husband in a secret place of his that he use to run to as a 10 year old.
