To Idris Wolfe || Wedding Morning || April 18th
[In the morning of the wedding, the Wolfes still practice the tradition of not being able to see each other before their ceremony begins, even through found loopholes. In their bedroom, the only soul occupying the space is Idris, already kissed good morning by his soon-to-be husband before trekking towards the kitchen. When sight is restored, he’ll finally be able to see a small bundle of Birds of Paradise waiting for him on their nightstand, and tucked within the winding red ribbon that holds them together is a small letter in Viggo’s print.]
My Faithful Idris,
To write this alone was a test of restraint because I had to keep myself from glancing over at you. To see you so at peace is a gift, and to see that every morning is and always will be something that confirms how lucky I am. I wouldn’t have been surprised had I always been unable to see you, like I have been the past two nights, that I would still know how beautiful you are. It radiates from you. In your touch, your voice, and especially your heart. I would have fallen just as hard as I have now.
Thank you for all of the days and nights you’ve chosen to spend with me, and all the ones now waiting for us. Everything I have is yours already, but today I’ll be proud to have everyone else know, too.
Love,
Your Saint & husband
[Sunlight streams through the curtain, casting shadows and scattered rays of gold across the bed. Â The lone occupant begins to stir while one hand pulls off the makeshift blindfold that has managed to stay mostly in place through the night. Â To sleep alone is something that Idris Cain Wolfe has not done in a very long time, and it is certainly a reprieve when his beloved found a way to provide them both the much needed reprieve. Â Hazel eyes crack open, blinking a few times as the world drifts into focus. Â His dear Saint has already awoken and faithfully kept to the tradition, staying out of the line of sight until the moment when they will be forever united as man and husband. Â Even in a state of half-wakefulness, peripheral catches the splash of vibrant colors, causing the brunet to turn his head to the source. Â Joyful colors of yellow, orange, blue and green greet him in the bird-like shape of his favorite florals, but it is the red ribbon and its meaning that makes the smile widen. Â Sitting up, the letter is reached for and unfolded. Â Corner of his lips turn up into a smile, the content of the letter perused with the utmost care and attention, every word savored and relished. As his heart soars with indescribable bliss, the man known as the faithful retrieves his mobile phone and types out a message to the love of his life.]
Sometimes I kiss your eyes to see beyond what I can imagine.
Sometimes I think I can speak the language of unborn stars.
I think the whole earth breathes with you.
After all this, these words are all I have to say what is impossible to think,
What shy dreams hide in the rafters of my heart,
Because these words are only a form of touch,
Only tell you I have no life that isn’t yours,
And no death you couldn’t turn into a life.Â
Love,
Your Soon-To-Be Official Mr. Wolfe
