[a/n: don't fact check me on all the marriage and legal stuff, let's just imagine it's all legal in this bloody perfect universe]

Well, a few months or so had passed. Bringing them well into the Summer months, Something Sweet bustling with customers in ways Felix had never seen before (thank god he was marrying a man that was good with the internet, their social media accounts certainly grew the popularity of their cake shop). And sooner or later, the day they'd both been waiting for had arrived.

But before that, a fair lot of stuff had still happened although (don't fear) it is all positive. Felix had gotten discharged from the hospital very soon after (the next day, to be exact) and the nurse had recommended them both therapists, for Felix to help deal with his steaming pile of trauma and for Chris to help deal with his anxiety (that he'd been diagnosed with, the same as Felix was diagnosed with PTSD) and dealing with his panic attacks.

In fact, both of them were in such a state after it had all happened that they literally refused to leave eachother's sights for about a month. Although, they worked on it, slowly becoming more and more comfortable with it to the point where one of them could leave the building and they'd be okay (even if they did spend the entire time on a phone call with each other, that could be classed as a pretty good strategy I guess).

They were okay and they were very, very excited for the day they'd been waiting intensely for. The day they became the Bahng-Lee's, as some (Chris) could (did) put it (and won't stop). Their wedding day.

Of course, they stuck with their plan and decided to just do their vows and all the legal stuff in a registry office. They had gotten ready that morning together, into their suits (of which both of them nearly passed out at the sight of the other). They both just looked that good (or maybe they were just that gay). And did just as they said they would. They wrote their own vows to go along the usual 'til death do us part' and 'I do' ones that basically everyone does. But they unintentionally matched them, somehow and in some ways. They read:

Chris':

My dear Felix,
We've been through a lot in a fairly short amount of time,
And I haven't known you forever,
But i've known you and that's what matters,
As we're about to spend a lifetime together.
My something sweet, my sunshine and my love of my life,
Felix, I love you so much.
The best love stories truly start with a treat
and ours started with one baked with care from your heart, head and hands.
I was drenched from the rain but the warmth of your home that I now call my own too,
and the love in the treats you make,
it's truly something sweet and it's lit up my life in the most beautiful ways,
this is the honour of my life, Lix,
I hope you know that.

Felix's:

Christopher, oh where do I begin,
You've changed and saved my life over and over again since last October
the day you stumbled into my life
with wet clothes and a love for lattes,
you came to me on a rainy day,
only to become my rainy days,
something I never thought i'd love so much,
but could never love any less now.
Thank you for everything,
my darling Channie,
I hope you know what you mean to me,
I don't know what's next for our treat filled love story,
but I sure do know it's gonna be something,
something perfectly sweet.

There was a lot of tears, as one would expect. And every moment as they did the tying of the knot was purely one to remember, well they certainly won't be forgetting it.

They then went back home, to the very cake shop where it all started. They kept on their suits, planning to wear it for the entire day until Felix got too drunk at their little party and spilled soju down his slick, white jacket. Chris, being clumsier than him (he blames his eyesight), thankfully went for the black but Seungmin definitely knew Felix was a clumsier drunk than Chris would ever be sober.

When they arrived home, they took a break, sat on their couch in eachothers arms as they snuggled close. They kissed and smiled and laughed and loved, until they found themselves in the main area of the shop again. They had cleared the space in the room anyway, to allow space for everyone to hang about later on, and through the speakers that usually played something along the lines of 'beadadoobee' or 'Wave To Earth' - a song they had chosen just for them began to play.

The song was called I Guess I'm In Love by Clinton Kane and when Chris first played it for Felix, the man fell in love with it as fast as he had fallen in love with him. So they made it their first dance song.

They danced together around the room, Chris taking the lead and laying a kiss on Felix's lips every few moments just to make him truly feel how much he loved him. They drifted over the floors, their bodies up against eachother and Felix's head in it's place in the crook of Chris' neck for a chunk of the time as he was held closer than ever to his dear husband.

And soon after their dance, the evening had come and their friends had arrived. Seungmin and Changbin successfully flew over from London and the eight of them, having basically formed the perfect friend group, had the perfect night. Felix did in fact get very drunk, but Chris found it utterly adorable the way he was acting. Even if he did pour about 5 different alcoholic drinks down his pristine white suit that cost a hell of a lot of money.

Chris' friends got to try Felix's cakes for the first time and Seungmin got to interview them for the sake of his article on couple-owned businesses, even if it did seem like just a reason to promote his best mate's cake shop to even more people than their social media accounts already had.

They had an amazing day, as Chris got to call Felix his husband and Felix got to call Chris his husband too for the very first time. They had all their firsts as a married couple, knowing it was only the beginning of a lifetime more. Lifetime of rainy days and
