“Have you seen her yet?” Kara asked excitedly, fully gussied up like she was attending a royal ball. The royal purple and lavender looked beautiful against her darker skin.

 

“no, i’m not allowed to.” Sans groaned, losing his patience. This wasn’t the first time he was asked that question.

 

The night before, he and I had been separated for our bachelor and bachelorette parties. For Sans, it was a night at Grillby’s. For me, it was a night at the arcade. Nate had informed me through text that Sans refused to drink anything alcoholic and had tried to leave – probably to find me – when he thought his friends were too drunk to stop him. He was wrong, and had whined to Nate or sat around moaning the rest of the night.

 

The only part of my night that wasn’t good was sleeping without Sans beside me. I had grown used to the cuddly bone boy spooning me while we slept. I was grateful I had a full-nights sleep despite having to sleep in Dina’s house with a bunch of other girls.

 

“Well, you look amazing.” Kara gestured to this suit. With my designs and Mettaton’s handiwork, Sans’ wedding suit looked amazing. Form-fitting and perfect for Sans’ laidback and sexy persona, it was tailored perfectly. Currently, the jacket was elsewhere, the tie was thrown on but not done up, and the sleeves were rolled up to right below his elbows. “Very sexy.” She added with a smirked.

 

“i have a fiancé.” He replied dryly with his own smirk.

 

“Yep, and later today, she’ll be your wife.” The dark-skinned woman rolled her eyes. “Now stop sulking and smile for the guests.”

 

Sans stuck out his tongue, cross his eye-lights, and placed both hands on the side of his head. “ish thish wight?”

 

“Ass.” Kara replied.

 

He chuckled, giving her a real smile. “true. but at least i own it.”

 

Turning, he went to greet a group of the guests. Family, friends, and business partners had been invited. Out of around four hundred people, more than three hundred had confirmed their attendance. Only some business partners and a couple friends who were oversees couldn’t make it.

 

“Sans, five minutes till we start.” Mettaton informed the skeleton as he handed him his suit jacket. Papyrus stood behind him in a regular formal suit with an orange tie. “Help him with this and his tie, Papy dear. I don’t trust him to do it right.”

 

“rude.” Sans retorted. No one paid him any mind.

 

“OF COURSE. COME HERE, SANS.” Sans sulked over to his brother.

 

“Make sure he follows the right cue.” Mettaton told his own Soul Mate as he kissed his smile. Papyrus glowed orange briefly, nodding eagerly.

 

“NOW SANS, AS YOUR BROTHER AND BEST MAN, I WILL BE WALKING DINA OUT. HOWEVER, YOU WILL BE WALKING OUT BY YOURSELF WHEN THAT LIGHT FLASHES.” He pointed to a bulb once he had finished making sure Sans was looking up to par. “NO TELEPORTING INTO THE ROOM.”

 

“sure, bro.” Sans smiled. That smile.

 

“I MEAN IT.”

 

“okay.”

 

“DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME, SANS?”

 

“yep.”

 

“UGH, I KNOW THAT LOOK.”

 

“okay.”

 

“SANS…”

 

The bulb flashed, and Sans grinned cheekily before disappearing in a flash of blue light.

 

“SANS!” Papyrus growled quietly.

 

“He’s such a sasshole.” Dina grumbled.

 

“A WHAT?”

 

“It means he’s a sassy asshole.” I explained. “I don’t know if I invented it, but I thought up that word a while back. Perfectly sums up that cheeky dork.”

 

“WOW, SISTER! YOU LOOK AMAZING!”

 

I blushed at the new name, smile growing. But I couldn’t help but agree. The outfit fit me like a glove. It was perfect and with the subtle makeup and hairdo, I felt stunning as I saw my reflection. “Thank you. …Bro.” I replied. Papyrus flushed happily.

 

At that moment, the music started.

 

“AH, THAT’S OUR CUE.” Papyrus turned to Dina. “M’LADY…”

 

“Oh, what a gentleman.” Dina sighed, pretending to swoon. “Too bad you’re taken.”

 

“NYEH HEH HEH! NOT TO WORRY! I’M SURE YOU’LL FIND SOMEONE WHO IS ALMOST AS GREAT AS I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS. NOW, LET US BE OFF! WAIT FOR ALL OF US AND COUNT TO TEN BEFORE ENTERING, TOO, SISTER.” I nodded and watched them, and the other bridesmaids and groomsmen pair up and walk inside.

 

After my cousins walked in with Grillby and Alphys, I looked at my mother and father. “Well, shall we?” They nodded and looping their arms through mine, we entered the room.

 

The crowd was enormous as and the amount of people I saw seemed endless. As we began the walk, Alphys and Jenna stepped off to their posts so that there was nothing standing in the way of Sans and I except for the aisle.

 

Sans looked on in awe, as though he was trying to figure out if he was dreaming. His pupil had dilated, and his mouth hung open. I grinned, feeling giddy, and let my aura ignite as we got closer. There were gasps, but I paid them no mind. I kept my eyes on Sans, ignoring the chuckling of my co-workers and giggles of some family members and friends as my aura sent off little white hearts that dispersed shortly after.

 

As we got to the front, I pulled my aura back in and allowed my hand to rest on the hand of my Soul Mate. My parents had already taken their seats. Taking one final step, I regarded Sans lovingly before we both turned to Asgore and my Uncle Ernie.

 

Asgore began, “We are gathered here today to unite two Souls in loving matrimony…”

 

I was only half paying attention, and from the glances I kept receiving from the skeleton who kept hold of my hand, he didn’t seem to be paying our officiators much attention either. However, he had no problem replying when it was his turn to speak.

 

Sans’ part was simple, but very him. As he described our first encounter nearly seven years before and the happiness he felt after finding me again. It all warmed my heart.

 

“…and so i promise to keep you safe, and love you for as long as we live.”

 

My part was a lot like his, but I added more metaphors and poetic wording, letting my creativity run wild. However, it was just as meaningful and felt right. From the look Sans gave me and the murmurs around me, it was right by everyone else, too.

 

“…So, I promise that I will rely on you, help you in times of need, and love you indefinitely and unconditionally, regardless of the circumstances we might face.”

 

With our personal promises done, our vows were next. Given that we would only receive one ring each, Sans made it more meaningful by giving the band a kiss. When it was my turn, I retrieved the ring – black instead, holding white gems with almost microscopic rainbow specks crafted in swirling designs that I designed years ago – and placed it on his left ring finger as I said my vows.

 

“We pronounce you husband and wife.” Asgore announced.

 

“You may now kiss the bride.” My uncle finalized.

 

I wrapped my arms around Sans’ neck as he used one hand to pull my waist, so my body was flush against him and his other hand pulled my face to his in a passionate kiss. A couple seconds later, we parted to the cheers of the crowd.

 

 

 

“Congratulations!” Dina squealed as she looped her arms around my shoulder. “Oh my gawd! You’re married now!”

 

“Still gotta sign the papers, Dina.” I reminded. While most of the guests had went off to the reception to get ready for the party, a small group that included Sans, me, and a few of our family and friends waited to sign the legal papers. My parents, Dina, my cousins, Cynthia, and Kara were the witnesses for me. Papyrus, Nate, Ben, Toriel, Asgore, Alphys, and Grillby were witnesses for Sans.

 

After I signed my last name as Aster, I could feel Sans’ becoming giddy. When I was finished, and we were waiting on the others as witnesses, Sans brought me close.

 

“you look beautiful.” He whispered in my ear. “you’re absolutely stunning, misses aster. my ____, my love.” He drew me into a kiss, chuckling against my lips. “ugh, i can’t help it. i’m gonna tease you just a bit.”

 

“Remember our agreement.” I reminded him before kissing his cheek.

 

“i know. i will. i promise.” He hummed.

 

“You guys gonna keep being mushy or are we gonna go party?” Dina asked smugly.

 

“let’s see. i would go with the former, but i’m pretty sure my wife will get mad at me if i do.” Oh, this cheeky bastard.

 

Here we go.” I sighed. “C’mon, Sansy, my dear hubby-poo! Let’s go party!” I smirked. Dina snorted.

 

Sans flushed blue, sputtering a bit before finally being consumed by laughter. “okay, okay! i deserved that.”

 

 

 

As the others entered the party, Sans and I waited to be officially announced.

 

Sans regarded me softly. “want me to pick you up and transport you in there?”

 

I raised a brow. “Hmm, nah. You’ll have time to do that later. For now, we’ll both walk in, together, as equals.”

 

He grinned widely. “okay, sounds good.”

 

And now,” Mettaton’s metallic voice bellowed through the speakers, “may I present to you, Mister and Misses Sans and ____ Aster!

 

The doors were flung open and Sans and I walked into the room of cheering, clapping, and whistling people.

 

“are you ready, wifey-poo?” Sans growled teasingly into my ear.

 

I grinned back at him, expression mischievous. “Ready when you are, hubby-poo.”

So, did anyone squee by the end of this? Anyone at all? Raise your hand, please!

Anyway, I finished writing chapter 29, so here's 22 for you. Now hopefully I'll get done a bit more writing, and editing, before posting more! ;) We will see!
