Tables are pushed back and the DJ in the corner announces, "Ladies and gentlemen, all of our honoured guests, please welcome the grooms, the happy newlyweds onto the dance floor."
Wei Ying gapes at his husband; he had no idea this was going to happen.
Lan Zhan and XiChen had mostly kept him out of the loop because Lan Zhan wanted every event to be a lasting surprise for his beautiful husband. He's rewarded now by the brightest smile as Wei Ying stands up, confident and self-assured.
It's a hot look.
The spotlight finds them, incandescent with their cream suits, and Wei Ying holds his hand out, palm up, for Lan Zhan to take.
"Ready to strut your stuff?" He whispers, as the hall erupts into loud cheers encouraging them to walk into the centre of the hall.
"Mn."
But it is Lan Zhan's feet that lead them to stand in the middle of the dance floor, waiting for the music to start.
Wei Ying trembles in his arms, and Lan Zhan allows himself this one kiss, his cool lips resting upon Wei Ying's smooth forehead, lingering.
"Just follow my lead, it's nothing complicated," he promises.
Wei Ying nods, his lovely silver eyes shimmering with trust and relief.
The darkness on the outside of their light circle hides the many eyes upon them, giving them the illusion of being completely alone here. They exist in this peaceful bubble of love, and it's only when the first notes ring out in the silent hall, Wei Ying smiles through his happy tears.
The song is one of his favourites, Nervous by John Legend.
Adrenaline runnin' through my veins
I'm a skeleton when you say my name
And the high, no it never goes away
Like jumpin' out an airplane to swimmin' with the sharks
That existential feelin' when you're starin' at the stars
There's a hurricane in my head
But the lightnin' in my heart makes it worth it
Yeah, I still get nervous
When you walk through the door
And you look in my eyes
Yeah, it feels, yeah, it feels like the very first time
I can fall for you forever, I'm certain
'Cause I still get nervous
When your lips hit my lips and the fireworks fly
Sendin' sparks through the air, like the Fourth of July
I can fall for you forever, I'm certain
'Cause I still get nervous
Every time, every time we touch
It's like paradise, fell down from above
And the high, even too much ain't enough, no, no
Like flyin' in the fast lane, no headlights in the dark
That existential feelin' when you wonder what you are
Got a wild wind in my head
But the butterflies in my heart make it worth it
Yeah, I still get nervous
When you walk through the door and you look in my eyes
Yeah, it feels, yeah, it feels like the very first time
I can fall for you forever, I'm certain
'Cause I still get nervous
When your lips hit my lips and the fireworks fly
Sendin' sparks through the air, like the Fourth of July
I can fall for you forever, I'm certain
'Cause I still get nervous
Oh, you walk in so perfect
And my heart short circuits
No I don't deserve this
That's why I still get nervous
When you walk through the door and you look in my eyes
Yeah, it feels, yeah, it feels like the very first time
I can fall for you forever, I'm certain
'Cause I still get nervous
When your lips hit my lips and the fireworks fly
Sendin' sparks through the air, like the Fourth of July
I can fall for you forever, I'm certain
'Cause I still get nervous
