"Alright, everyone get closer! Felix, fix your tassel!"
"Mom, it's fine!"
"It is your graduation picture, we need to look back at these and think they're perfect! Now, everyone smile!"
All of the boys smiled with their arms around each other, Jisung being the only one who said "cheese".
"Okay, now a few funny ones!"
They took various one with piggy back rides, kisses on the cheek, and funny faces. Everyone felt the same emotion: joy.
"Alright, enough pictures, everyone. We're going to be late!" Felix's father suddenly said.
"Okay, okay! Let's go! You guys look so handsome!"
"I still don't get why they didn't just put us in alphabetical order for graduation." Felix said as they got in the car, referencing the seating chart for the graduation center.
"Hey, at least we can sit by our friends." Jisung replied."
—
"Han Jisung. Honors Class, Audio Production." The announcer said, listing Jisung's accomplishments as he walked across the stage.
"Yeah, Go Jisung!" Felix whisper yelled from the stairs next to the stage.
"Lee Minho. Honor roll, Performing Arts."
"WHOO GO MINHO!" Jisung's voice said from the other side of the stage as all three of the boys, and some teachers, giggled.
"I'm next!" Felix whispered to Hyunjin.
"I know." Hyunjin smiled at the blonde.
"Felix Lee. Honors class, honor roll, Culinary Arts."
Felix couldn't help but walk the stage with the brightest smile, knowing he finally made it this far.
"Go Felix!" He heard Hyunjin's voice behind him and he smiled even more.
Diploma in hand, he got off the stage and practically ran into his best friends arms.
"We did it, Ji!"
"Hwang Hyunjin. Honors class, Performing Arts."
Felix cheered as loud as he could for his boyfriend as he saw him walk across the stage. Once Hyunjin sat back down next to them, Felix took hold of his hand.
"I'm so proud of you."
The headmaster finished her last words before announcing everyone as official graduates.
"Students, I now encourage you to remove your caps and toss them as high as you please. Congratulations to you all. Thank you for joining us."
With a loud roar of cheers, everyone immediately threw their caps into the air full of smiles and tears of joy. Felix and Jisung immediately embraced each other.
"We did it, Lix. We did it." He calmly said with happy tears.
Felix pulled back and rested his hands on Jisung's cheeks, smiling in pride.
"3rd grade to now, and you're the same idiot I met ten years ago." He joked before they let go and ran into their boyfriend's embraces.
"We did it, Hyun! Together!"
"We did it, Lix." Hyunjin smiled and planted a long kiss on his lips as they both smiled through it.
—
"Mom, don't cry! I'm only going to be 30 minutes away from you!" Felix giggled as he hugged his mother.
Hyunjin packed the last of their luggage into the small moving truck and closed it with a huff, sweating from the hot weather outside.
"I know, but I've raised you for 18 whole years! My only son and child is leaving the nest." She cried.
"I promise I'll always visit you monthly and call you everyday. I won't ever be far away." He reassured, kissing the top of his mothers head.
She pulled away while wiping her tears and nodded. Felix felt emotional as well, but he stayed strong for his mom.
"I think that's last of it, Lix." Hyunjin said suddenly.
"Oh come here, you!" Mrs. Lee demanded and pulled Hyunjin into a loving embrace.
"Mrs. Lee, I'm sweating!" Hyunjin laughed while returning the hug.
"No more "Mrs. Lee"! I'm not that old. Call me mom. You'll probably have that legal ability soon anyways." She teased.
"Probably" He joked back.
"Not on my watch! No marriage till your 21!" Mr. Lee suddenly interfered.
Hyunjin and Felix laughed as the blonde went to hug his father.
"We'll try, dad." He smiled.
"I mean it! You are still children in my head!" His father argued.
"I'm gonna miss you, dad." Felix smiled.
"Aw now I'm gonna get emotional. I love you, my sons." He held back tears while hugging Felix and looking at Hyunjin.
"Well, I think it's about time we go." Felix said, pulling out of the hug.
"I suppose so. One more hug, Hyun!" Mrs. Lee sighed.
Hyunjin giggled as he hugged the short woman once again. Looking at her, Hyunjin knew where Felix got his bright smile from.
"Take care of him, Hyunjin. I wouldn't rather have anyone else live with Felix than you. Thank you for being his light." She whispered to him.
"He's been my sun ever since I met him. Thank you. You've raised him so well."
She wept at his words before letting go and escorting him to the car.
"Be nice to him, Felix."
"I am nice to him!"
After saying their final goodbyes, the couple went to the car and were off to their new life. It was gonna be difficult, they knew it, but they knew it'd be worth it.
"Aux?"
"You bet."

—
"And that is the last box unpacked! Finally!" Felix exclaimed while breaking down the cardboard for recycling.
"This is.. home." Hyunjin smiled while standing near Felix, looking around their finished home.
"Home." Felix smiled and rested his head on the elders, taking in the view of this house that was theirs.
Hyunjin quickly swooped Felix into his arms and spun him around playfully.
"Hyunjin! Put me down!" He laughed, taken completely off guard.
Hyunjin spun for a little longer before putting him down and taking him into his embrace.
"I'm so ready start the next chapter of my life with you."
"I wouldn't want to be with anyone else, Hyun." The younger warmly smiled.
Hyunjin spun Felix around 360 before planting a soft, loving kiss on his lips.
"I really need to shower but I'm too tired~" Felix whined, throwing his head back in annoyance.
"Go shower you stinker." Hyunjin giggled, rubbing his nose against the blondes.
"Fine~" Felix groaned and grabbed a towel from the closet.
"Well? Are you coming or what?" Felix asked with an eyebrow before he opened the bathroom door.
You bet Hyunjin dashed to grab his clothes.
—
"I've got one last gift for you today."
"But Lix, you've already spoiled me so much today!" Hyunjin chuckled.
"You're my boyfriend, it's my job sweetheart." Felix teased before going to his room to grab something.
He came back out with a decent sized gift box topped with a bow.
"We spent all day spoiling you and I'm sure you're tired, butttt I figured I may as well throw in a little extra something. Love you, Hyun!" Felix giggled and placed the box on the coffee table in front of Hyunjin.
The elder looked at him with a suspicious look before placing his hands on the lid of the box, carefully lifting it off.
"Felix! Are you serious right now?!"
Inside, sat a small puppy, the most adorable Hyunjin had ever seen. A long haired chihuahua with a black and white coat. He looked as if he was smiling at the man, tilting his head slightly.
"Happy birthday, Hyunjin." Felix smiled lovingly as the brunette excitedly lifted the dog out of the box.
"He's perfect! The most adorable thing I've ever seen in my life!" He exclaimed while hugging the pup in his arms.
Felix smiled brightly, proud of his decision to bring a pup into their small family.
"Thank you, Lix. You've made this one of the best birthdays yet." Hyunjin gushed, still holding the happy puppy close to him.
"Of course, my love. You deserve the world."
Hyunjin stood up with the dog and walked over to Felix, who was standing behind the sofa. Felix smiled and pet the small dog who was panting of excitement, loving his new home.
"What's his name, Hyun?"
"Kkami. Hwang Kkami."
"Why does it have to be Hwang Kkami?" Felix crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow.
"Because, soon enough, his other father will have the same last name as he does."
—
"Gosh, it has been too long since our last double date!" Jisung said as the couples walked into the park for their picnic.
"It really has. Months! But we've all been so busy, me and Hyunjin have had hardly any time for ourselves either." Felix added.
"How's the bakery going, Lix?" Minho suddenly asked.
"It's going great! My employees are the best and we've made a good profit. I can't believe it's one year is coming up so soon!" He exclaimed.
"Well, you only went to school for two years and worked at that pastry shop for one. It went by so quickly!" Hyunjin stated.
"It was in the weekly newspaper the other day! It mentioned our one year and it's special one year treats."
"I'm so happy for you, Lix! You and I both know how long you've wanted to open up that place." Jisung smiled.
"Thanks, Ji! What about you? How's the studio treating you?"
"I've met so many celebrities, it's insane! Writing and helping produce their songs is such an honor. However, sometimes they are really different in person." Jisung said in a disappointed tone at the last part.
"Seems like we're all achieving our dreams, huh?" Felix smiled.
"It's crazy. Feels like just yesterday we were in high school and had zero worries about the real world." Minho replied.
"I'm so glad we've all kept contact. I don't know what I'd do without you guys, really." Hyunjin added.
"Awe Hyunjin's getting sentimental!~" Jisung teased as the rest of them laughed.
The group set up their blanket and food and began talking and laughing about anything and everything, just like old times. It was nice. Some things never change.
"And then the cops showed up and everyone had to rush home! That night was so fun." Felix exclaimed.
"I looked so good that night, don't even lie." Jisung flaunted.
"That was the night Jisung wouldn't shut up about seeing you two kiss for the first time ever. I can still hear the repetition if I think hard enough." Minho complained as everyone bursted into fits of laughter.
"Time really does fly. Soon enough, we're probably going to be getting married together. I remember when we used to say we would have a best friends wedding when we were little!" Felix rambled with a smile.
"So, actually... that's something we wanted to talk to you guys about.." Jisung hesitantly stated.
"What do you mean?" Hyunjin tilted his head.
"Promise you won't freak out..?"
Both males nodded their heads as Minho looked at his lover with a loving smile.
Jisung showed the back of his left hand to the couple in front of them. On his fourth finger, a silver ring looped around it and blinged in the sunlight.
"OH MY GOSH! JISUNG!" Felix exclaimed as he practically tackled his best friend with an enormous hug, leaving everyone with laughter.
"You said you wouldn't freak out!" He laughed.
"I didn't think you'd be showing me a RING!" Felix squealed.
All four of them giggled at Felix's excitement as the couple began explaining the experience in getting engaged.
"I was wondering... would you guys like to be our best men? Like... the ones next to us?" Jisung asked
Both males' eyes lit up as they heard the offer.
"Really?!" They jinxed.
Felix hugged Jisung tightly once again, full of excitement.
"My best friend's getting married!"
—
"What do you say we go to the beach today?" Hyunjin said in his morning voice, arms wrapped around his lover.
"That sounds wonderful." Felix chuckled with a sigh, eyes still practically closed.
"When should we go?"
"Not now. I still need time to recover." Felix teased, making Hyunjin giggle.
"I love you, Lix~"
"I love you more, Hyun~"
After a morning cuddle sesh, the couple decided to spend one of their only days off with each other. They took their time in getting ready for their beach date and headed off.
"The sun is out perfectly today. There's a nice breeze~ nice waves~ it's perfect!" Felix cheered.
"Alright now let's go swim!" Hyunjin said, pulling Felix towards the water before he yelped at the saltwater hitting his skin.
"Ah! It's cold, Hyun!" He whined.
Hyunjin chuckled and swooped Felix up bridal style, running further into the ocean.
"Put me down! Put me down, Hyunjin! It's gonna be cold!" Felix yelled as Hyunjin ran, the elder simply laughing out loud before stopping.
"Ready?" Hyunjin suddenly asked.
"Ready for wha- AH HYUNJIN IT'S COLD!" Hyunjin dropped Felix into the shallow water, making him endure the frozen temperature.
"I'm gonna kill you, Hwang." Felix threatened and Hyunjin's face dropped. He immediately began running away.
"HAVE MERCY PLEASE!" He pleaded as Felix laughed maniacally behind him.
Two hours later
Both boys sat on their shared beach towels, looking at the horizon in front of them. Hyunjin had his head rested on Felix's shoulder and Felix's on Hyunjin's head. Felix wore a thin coverup to keep warm from the breeze while Hyunjin had a towel bunched around his neck and over his chest.
"Today was good." Felix smiled.
"Very. Hey hun, could you grab me a drink from the cooler?" Hyunjin requested.
Felix hummed and stood up to walk over to the cooler. He grabbed the water and turned back around, dropping both water bottles and gasping. Gasps from bystanders were heard and phones were recording.
Hyunjin was on one knee.
Felix slowly walked closer to his boyfriend with his hand over his mouth in shock, tears already building. Hyunjin couldn't help but giggle.
"Felix, my sunshine, my love, my soulmate; I love you more than anything I've ever loved before. We've had our big ups and big downs, we started off on the wrong foot, lots of tears, but I want to do it correctly this time. I want to spend the rest of my days showing you I'm worthy of someone as enchanting as you. This beach is the exact location where I told you how I felt for the first time. Our first kiss, first dance. I knew, the moment I looked at those stars with you, you were the person I wanted to love until I die. So I must ask you, Felix Lee, will you start over with me again, make me the luckiest man on earth, and marry me?" Hyunjin opened the small velvet box to reveal the most divine ring Felix had ever seen.
Face covered in tears, overwhelmed with happiness, Felix ran into Hyunjin's arms.
"Yes, I will marry you Hyunjin. I will marry you in every lifetime."
Hyunjin carefully slid the ring on to the freckled male's finger as cheers erupted from strangers invested. Both boys cried of joy and love, eager to spend the rest of their lives together.
—
"This day needs to be perfect, Felix!"
"It will be, Ji. Just breathe. You look incredible!"
"I'm so nervous, Felix. What if he doesn't say yes?"
"Then he's an idiot. I promise he will say yes with no hesitation."
The best friends were currently waiting to get set up and walk down the aisle for the wedding.
"Look at me." Felix demanded.
"You have been dreaming of this day since you were 8 years old. 23 year old Jisung is ready for this. I'm going to be right next to you the entire time, my dear. This is your day. Relish in it."
Jisung pulled Felix into his embrace and exhaled.
"What would I do without you?" He huffed.
"I'm so happy for you, Ji. Minho is the luckiest guy in the world."
"Don't make me cry yet!" Jisung joked.
"Places everyone! The ceremony is on in 5!" The wedding planner hollered through the hallways.
"I'll see you soon, hun. You've got this."
They exchanged one more hug before Felix went to get set in order, meaning he would be walking with Hyunjin, which he loved. He made his way to the doors, meeting Hyunjin's ravishing face.
"Hi, handsome." Felix giggled.
"Good evening, my love." Hyunjin replied.
"Everyone, arms linked! Best men start walking in 5..4..3..2..1.. showtime."
The doors opened together and every head in the room was facing them. Felix and Hyunjin began walking down the aisle. They glanced at each other and smiled lovingly, excited for their best friends. Many noticed their nearly matching rings and began whispering, making the two giggle.
"They know." Hyunjin whispered.
"Good." Both males parted ways and landed on either side of the aisle.
Just minutes later, the priest announced the grooms.
(Suggested song for reading: Say Yes To Heaven- Lana Del Rey)
"All rise."
The doors opened once again and Jisung appeared with his arm linked with his grandmother's. He looked incredible. Felix felt his eyes glisten at the sight of his best friend on his big day. He could only think of how far they'd come and everything they've been through together. The only ones who stuck with each other through the best highs and the worst lows. Jisung was Felix's platonic soulmate, his ride or die. He loved seeing his best friend happy. He could think of no one better than Minho to take care of him during his lowest times while he's gone. Minho's tears were visible as he saw his soon-to-be husband walking down the aisle; and he never cries.
Soon enough, the ceremony was nearly over after all of their oaths and vowes.
"Do you, Lee Minho, take Han Jisung to be your lawfully wedded husband? To cherish him and take care of him through sickness and health, for as long as you both shall live?"
I've got my eye on you.
"I do." Minho let the biggest, cheesiest smile show and Jisung smiled brightly.
"Do you, Han Jisung, take Lee Minho to be your lawfully wedded husband? To cherish him and take care of him through sickness and health, for as long as you both shall live?"
"I, absolutely, do." He smiled at his new husband.
Say yes to heaven.
"Then, by the power invested in me, I now pronounce you husband and husband! You may kiss the groom." The priest smiled.
Minho pulled Jisung by their interlocked hands and rested his hands on his squirrel-like cheeks before landing a long, passionate kiss on his lips. Cheers and tears erupted from the audience and Felix shed a few tears, admiring the newly wedded in front of him.
"Now let the celebration begin!" The priest exclaimed.
The newly wedded couple walked down the aisle playfully into the reception room, followed by their groomsmen and bridesmaids, the crowd giggled at all of their goofy gestures.
'Cause I've got my mind on you.
The reception began and everyone was mingling, getting drinks and snacks and dancing on the dance floor.
"Felix! Come dance with me!" Jisung hollered at Felix, who was eating some of his dinner from an hour ago.
Felix giggled and made his way over to his best friend.
"Dance with me, Lix!~"
"Are you drunk, Ji?" Felix chuckled.
"Mayyybe. It's my wedding, I'm allowed!" Jisung replied while taking hold of Felix's hands and dancing around with no rhythm.
Say 'yes' to me.
15 minutes later
"Oh man, remind me not to dance with Jisung again." Felix panted while finding Hyunjin.
"Did he break your back or something?" Hyunjin laughed.
"That boy has so much Energy. Too much."
"Being tipsy definitely makes you hyper." He joked.
"Come slow dance with me! They're about to play a slow song!" Felix pleaded, making Hyunjin laugh and stand up.
If you dance, I'll dance.
The couple stood on the dance floor with other pairs, swaying rhythmically to the music. Felix's head rested on Hyunjin's collarbone, taking in this beautiful moment.
"I love you, Felix."
"I love you, Hyunjin."
"You know.. we're up next." Hyunjin teased.
I've got my mind on you.
"I do. And I've never been so excited for something." Felix smiled and lifted his head to look at his fiancé.
"I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you, fiancé." Hyunjin gushed and kissed the shining diamond on Felix's ring finger, making him blush.
"I can't wait to have your last name." He giggled.
Say 'yes' to me.
"Felix Hwang..
I like the sound of that."
