Reception started right after the wedding ceremony. Delicious food was abundant. Drinks kept pouring. Laughter and cheers were louder than the live band music.

The whole wedding party sat in a table together with the grooms. Their parents and closest family sat in the table next to them.

M stood up with a glass of champagne in one hand, and held his wife's hand in the other. He smiled lovingly at her before he spoke.

M: Hello everyone. I'm M. I'm Kongpob's best man. I've know Kongpob and Arthit since first grade. Arthit really didn't like me much when we first met, but he would always insist on sitting between me and Kongpob. I didn't understand why at that time. I tried to get on his good side, and I gave him all my blue M&Ms, but he still wouldn't let me be on Kongpob's team whenever we were playing. But anyone that knows them now would surely understand why. Today, if Arthit wasn't the groom himself, I'm sure I would never have this honor to be Kongpob's best man. Can I be promoted to best friend now?

Arthit: Over my dead body!

Everyone laughed. Kongpob kissed the back of Arthit's hand he was holding, and chuckled.

M: Fine! I'm the second best friend. Let's toast to the couple that have been destined to be together since the very beginning.

Everyone raised their glass cheering.

Toota: M, you can take a seat boy. Let this best man tell you something. I was there for all their turning points of their relationship. I knew it before they both knew it. You see, Arthit and even Kongpob thinks it was Arthit who realized their feelings first. However, Kongpob had always shown his love in actions without acknowledgement. All throughout highschool before they were even a couple, Arthit never had to go to his locker for a change of textbooks. Kongpob was always one step ahead of him.

He always switched out Arthit's textbooks for him because Arthit was too lazy to go to his own locker. There was one day Kongpob was sick, and didn't come to school. Arthit was such a mess. He had the wrong book for every single class. Chalk and erasers were thrown at him by every teacher. Mind you, Kongpob wasn't in the same classes as us. Kongpob was in the smarty-pants classes. So, that meant he was carrying double the textbooks everyday. Now, if that's not back breaking love, then I don't know what is. Now, cheers to the most lovesick couple I know."

Everyone cheered. Arthit laughed, and leaned his head on Kongpob's shoulder.

Cling Cling Cling Cling

Everyone tapped their forks to their plates for the couple to kiss.

Arthit got off Kongpob's shoulder blushing with a smile, and kissed Kongpob's cheek.

Bright: That doesn't count!

The clinging continued. So, Arthit grabbed Kongpob by his label, and planted a smooch on his lips. Only then, did the clinging ceased.

Krystal stood up next. She pushed back a loose strand of hair behind her ear.

Krystal: Hello everyone. I'm Arthit's sister Krystal. Today, I can proudly say I am also Kongpob's sister. Growing up with the two most in love couple was not always easy. Can you imagine always feeling like a third wheel even in your own home? However, I'm also the most blessed baby sister in the world. Arthit is the most protective brother out there. He always stood up for me whenever I was bullied. And Kongpob has always been my solace. He has the patience of a saint. He has always pampered me to no end. I'm the luckiest little sister to have two brothers that not only love me, but showed me what true love is. Please raise your glasses to my two favorite people in the whole wide world. I love you two.

Krystal started crying as she raised her glass with a shaky hand. Everyone raised their glasses, and some were wiping happy tears of their own.

Arthit hid his teary face in his husband's chest as he wiped away his tears.

Bright: Okay, I'm not the best man or anything, but Kongpob and Arthit are both my closest friends. Growing up, they did a lot of things I didn't understand. Toota and I grew up together just like them, but we were never like them though. Before they came together as a couple, Kongpob always picked out all the veggies Arthit didn't like everyday at lunch. He always made sure Arthit's drink was icy cold, and his food was warm. And Arthit always carried an extra sweater in his backpack just in case Kongpob was cold. Now, come to think of it, I can't believe I didn't catch on sooner. Now, I will ask the question that everyone wants to know, but are too afraid to ask. So, which one of you is really the wife?

Everyone laughed. Arthit and Kongpob both crumbled napkins to throw at Bright.

Bright: Hey hey hey! I'm willing to sacrifice myself to satisfy everyone's curiosity. Hahaha. But in all seriousness, you two have set the love bar really high. Please join me in congratulating these two lovebirds.

Once again, everyone raised their glasses to toast the couple.

Cling Cling Cling Cling

Everyone tapped their forks to their plates for the couple to kiss again. This time Kongpob tipped Arthit by his chin, and gave him a gentle kiss on the lips. Some people started hooting.

Arthit and Kongpob's moms stood up, and walked over to the stage. They each held a microphone.

Belle: First, I would like to thank all those who have come from near and far to witness the celebration of our sons' union. Nomi and I have always known that our sons had a special bond since day one. Even as infants they were already attached to each other. Whenever Arthit was sick, he wouldn't sleep unless Kongpob slept next to him.

Belle smiled at her best friend Nomi.

Nomi: Yes, and Kongpob always wanted Arthit whenever he had nightmares instead of me, or Kerklai. Even at three in the morning, I would have to carry Kongpob over to Arthit's bedroom. And the second I lay Kongpob down next to Arthit, he would fall right back to sleep.

Everyone chuckled. Belle clicked on a remote, and a picture of one year old Arthit and Kongpob sleeping together appeared on the big screen. Then slowly more pictures of them growing up together, and sleeping together were shown.

Belle: Arthit is a heavy sleeper, but whenever Kongpob was next to him, even in his sleep he would grab onto Kongpob's shirt as he slept. He never needed a security blanket. All he needed was Kongpob. They completed each other in many ways.

Nomi: We know that their love is not conventional, but their love is the most pure and beautiful. We can't expect everyone to understand their love, but those of you who are here today to celebrate with us, we thank you for accepting our babies.

Kerklai and Tae stood up, and walked over to join their wives.

Tae: I am so proud of our sons. They have become great respectful young men. No matter what challenges they will face, we as parents will always stand behind them. All of you that are here today are not only guests, but our dearest family and friends. We are honored to have your support and love for our children. Thank you.

Kerklai: Yes. I would like to thank you all for supporting our children as well. They still have a lot of growing to do, and their journey is long. We hope that everyone will continue to support and understand them.

Kongpob sat there overwhelmed with emotions. He silently cried as his parents poured their hearts out. He squeezed Arthit's hand under the table. Arthit kept his head on Kongpob's shoulder, and wiped his tears with his cloth napkin.

When their parents were done speaking, they walked back to their seats as the guests clapped and cheered. The screen continued to show beautiful candid photos of Arthit and Kongpob's special moments in the background. These were pictures Nomi and Belle secretly took over the years.

Kongpob whispered to Arthit. "I want to say something, do you want to go up with me?" Arthit nodded to his husband.

Holding hands, the couple got up from their seats. Everyone cheered as they saw the couple walk towards the stage.

Kongpob grabbed the microphone, and cleared his throat. He pecked Arthit on his forehead before he spoke. Everyone quieted down as he was about to speak.

"First of all, Arthit and I would like to thank all those who have come to celebrate with us today. It means the world to us to know that so many people love and support us. We are both truly blessed to have the world's best parents. I have always thought of Uncle Tae and Aunt Belle as my second parents, and they truly are now. So, now it's Dad Tae and Mom Belle for me. Mom, Dad, thank you for loving, and accepting me and Arthit endlessly. We will continue to make you proud."

Everyone clapped. Arthit takes the microphone from Kongpob.

"Mom, Dad, thank you for making me so handsome. If I wasn't so handsome, I would probably have some trouble keeping all those bees from buzzing around Kongpob. Dad Kerklai, Mom Nomi, I really appreciate what you have done with Kongpob. He is almost more handsome than me, just almost though. Okay, all jokes aside, thank you for being the most awesome parents anyone can ever have. We love you guys so much. And Krystal, we love you lots. I will still beat up anyone for you."

Everyone erupted cheering and laughing. The night was filled with more jokes and fun-filled laughter. People danced the night away with the newly wedded couple.

AN: 🥂 Cheers my boys. I love you lots. ❤️
