cold and sharp but sweet and tangy too. smiling around the spoon he let the other know how he felt both with words and with his hands though they only garnered him a blank inquiry and more of the sauce. this time he pulled the spoon away first before pressing his face to the smooth jaw and up to the lightly pinked ear, "tomorrow we will be married"

The words alone were enough to send the professor into a whirl of strange feelings, most of which was excitement. The closeness of their bodies and the heat from the other did nothing to hide his growing disposition. “Yes.” He said swallowing down a small heat on his cheeks. His finger soiled the sauce in the boil and offered another taste to Zosa.

he knew better than to say this meant they would be together forever though the thought still made him giddy and taking the the proffered finger he clamped down and gave a hard suck

He could see why Zosa enjoyed this and testing the boy he dipped his finger into the sauce again and slathered another part of his body wondering if it felt the same as the warmth on his finger tips. He painted his shoulder before putting a little ruby on Zosa's suckling lips.

he had not realized he had closed his eyes until the sausey finger pressed to his tongue and he caught an eyeful of hopeful and curious felix. following the spot to the man's shoulder he reattached there though not before sticking his fingers in the warming liquid and smearing a stripe down the man's bare side

bloopabloo

Bucking over, only Zosa's shoulder and arms kept hi from falling to the ground. Shaking, breathing heavily in the aftermath, his fingers idly wiped the salt of the earth from the corners of zosa's mouth. Curling to the side he gracefully pulled back before sliding to the floor. He kissed away the remains of sauce and salt. He would have to make more sauce. Gathering up Zosa's hand he nipped lightly at the tip.

(He will head south after a while)

there was nothing but play in that nibble and he was pleased enough to pull the man to the floor with him and sandwiched between felix and the counter he found words for how he felt, "i love you but i also love being alive when you are here. you must be a wizard not a professor for i feel bewitched"

He chuckled taking in more of the finger. Idly he pushed back his lens on to his face and gave the other a dangerous look. "I am not a wizard... I am the professor" He took in the whole digit and slid his other hand along the hidden mounds between Zosa's thighs. This time as the finger reached the back of his throat he skillfully licked the base of Zosa's hand as well and added pressure to his tough were it was needed the most.

even slightly scorched the food was quite good and though he was still a little guilty about his father walking in on them for a second time he could not help but be pleased as well and giving the swing a little rock he ate another piece


(he does not realize this is actually the third time dad got an eyeful and they are eating outside because it is nice out XD)

Idly he opened his mouth, at some point during his vacation, it turned into the future and he this time tomorrow would be a Garagin. There was some much to worry about and yet so much would be put behind him. He chewed on the dry meat and found himself laying in Zosa's lap with the platter on his stomach as they rocked. "Zosa... now that I will be a garagin, and you married, do you think we can have our own place on the island? It seems... wrong to have two grown men sharing a twin bed and to be... in love."

felix was right and setting down his own plate he began stroking the soft red curling hair, "i am sure we can. you are right though, it wouldn't do to have to stay under their roof like a couple of children though i would not mind spending time here as well. the little cabin in the woods should be ready correct?"

The professor closed his eyes, it was like how he dreamed of mars, red fauna and the tiny space with the boy. For once the professor held a small smile. "It is fine, there is still so much to do here. I would like to train to moscow and we also I believe your retro space suit is in shipping."

he had forgotten all about the shiny hotpants and making a sour face he stopped his petting, "god, i forgot about that, we have not even used the priest outfit yet, let's just bury the foilpants in the backyard"

"But Zosa, one it will disrupt the plants from growing and two I found a matching costume. As for the ones we have... I thought we were saving them for a house warming night."

that had him intrigued and raising a brow he gave the man the benefit of the doubt, "matching how?"

He pushed himself up as best he could with out disturbing his plate and kissed Zosa. "It is a secret for tomorrow night, I want our first night in our home to be wonderful.... We can even make home movies."

the thought of felix intentionally letting him film without grief seemed too good to be true but he had no reason to question it and putting aside thoughts of the restaurant and the suit he instead focused on soft lips and the magnitude of tomorrow's endeaver

He could barely sleep and it seemed that zosa was just as restless, and once the boy finally showed signs of rem sleep, the professor slipped out of the bed and emailed a taxi company to come and pick him up. He gathered his things and before disappearing into the predawn darkness, he wrote Zosa a note and kissed the man on his forehead.

he only managed a couple hours though when he did wake felix was already up. crawling from the bed he heard a crinkle and reaching over the crumpled blankets pulled a piece of paper free. reading it he felt his stomach knot up and treading it twice more nearly lost the nonexistant contents of it, only the knowledge that felix hadn't run away in almost a year and the promise of a return kept him from bolting from the bed. instead, swallowing the bile in his throat he got up carefully and got dressed to get everything prepared

How women could stand such things he did not know. The dresser was surprised to see him and even more surprised to have to recommend a good hairdresser for the professor. The strangest was having an entire team of women go from disbelief and giggles to fighting with the naturally wavy locks into something presentable for his wedding. There was one last thing missing and for that it took him out of his way too the airport.

six hours to prepare for his wedding. even in the crush of it all he felt anxious with felix's departure weighing in at the back of his mind even as the food the alter the priest the tailor his father the camera and everything else pushed at the front of it. at four minutes until noon everything was ready but there was no felix and at twenty minutes after noon he was so frazzled that even calls to the hospitals and airports could not sooth him and the priest was talking about cold feet and god not wanting this to have happened anyway and so when the sounds of car doors being slammed and the front door being opened and closed came out over the chattering at fourteen minutes after one he was nearly in tears. he felt faint as the kitchen door opened and felix came through bearing jimmy and dressed to the nines in flowers and lace

It was heart wrenching to see his Zosa. While the tailors had done a lovely job on his suit, the mans face made the professor pale. He broke away from his escort and immediately ran to Zosa, stopping the idle chatter of both the priest and the father. “ Are you sick?' He cupped the mans face pushing aside the veil of fabric that blocked his vision. “Zosa?”

it was too much. feeling the warm lips press to his forehead as the scratchy lace brushed his neck he began to cry. there was no sound but the heat of the tears gave him away and he could feel the arms tighten around him as felix took up a soft hum and a slow rock. he said nothing until he could pull himself together and sniffing back the ache that had moved up into his throat he whispered the only thing that came to his mouth into a pale ear "i am so glad you came back"

He shook his head and kissed the crown again, and just as softly as the words were spoken to him he said back. “I promised.” he continued to hold zosa until the other was ready.

in the end he was convinced that starting right then would be a bad idea and that they should send out an email to everyone saying there was an issue with the camera. it was not true but he understood that neither him or felix looked their best and that jimmy was falling asleep on his feet. he let everyone know the wedding could wait until later that evening

It seemed to be a strange way to have a wedding. Between the father and the father, the food had disappeared, and Felix found his apron to pass the time and make more. While the rest of the house rested in wait, he drifted around the kitchen. Every so often he would hear a quite little click as he moved about cooking food for the few guest that would have it.

with the stress from the morning down to a simmer and felix swishing around in a gown and apron with olesya he was nearly in heaven itself. snapping pictures as the two made an extra large meal for them all he made sure to get every angle though he did not dare touch before the wedding and only tried the food after everything had been set to the lowest temp and felix swished upstairs to reready himself for their vows

It was strange the first time he would see the elderly old woman would be the last time he and Zosa would be in the house. A new life awaited him just beyond the backdoor and nervously he held on to his childhood friend. It was a good thing the veil obscured his face. Hours ago he was ready to jump head first into the pool and now he was growing cold with each step. It felt so proper, would he see mars again?... how would the pictures turn out... was the stove off... why didnt zosa's father smile? His train of thoughts occupied him right up and through the priest introduction. Only the hand over his calmed the torrent of analytical assessments into one about the various indigenous fauna of Greece.

when the wedding was back up to running and the camera was turned on to send out the signal to everyone who couldn't be there he turned his mind to the priest's words and though the latin was fuzzy and half-forgotten what they meant was crisp and sharp. keeping his nervousness in check he remained silent and attentive until it was time for him to give his vows. turning to felix he smiled, "<my heart, my body, my world, my mars>"

He had come prepared with a piece of paper next to his breast but at Zosas words he fell silent. The priest had to repeat himself again before his gaping mouth could find words and even then they did not hold the depth that the little phrase had come to mean. With his heart stuck in his throat he picked up Zosas ringed hand and sucked along the finger before wrapping his arms around the boy and whispering in his ear. His words came out in a quiet choking sob. “Zosa.... I never lie. When I say I will be there, I will be there. I can not image forever... I … don't want a day with out you. I am so scared. I love you so much... cause you and I both love..”

the words were silent enough that only he and the priest could hear though it did not mean much to him if anyone else at all knew what was spoken between them and only the need to finish the ceremony kept him from breaking down himself. gently he whispered that they were not done and helped felix to right himself and straighten his veil. smiling softly he turned from his beautiful bride and looked up at the priest for the rest of the words

Recomposing himself was hard. It was made easier by the reassurance that was slipped from Zosa's breast pocket and into his finger and even more official by the lighting of the candles and the unveiling of his face. Once again it took a long moment before he and Zosa could be pied apart and even longer before he noticed the rice being haphazardly thrown.

as soon as they parted and the final blessing was given he and felix were ushered over to the camera where each of them thanked everyone before heading over to where the cake had been sitting since early that morning and uncovered it for a cutting

The best part was feeding Zosa all the delicious morsels as well as the cake. After spending and evening catching up with his old friend, he finally could not resist the allure of touching Zosa in his beautiful tux. He halfheartedly listened to the toast. Once they finished the first dance as the Garagins, he was more then happy to be whisked away out of the public eye.

olesya was still the most wonderful nanny. when they were free of the small party he swept up felix and let the grandson know they were ready to go with the intention of going to head upstairs to get the overnight bag he had packed as well as felix's blanket only to find both just inside the kitchen door. thanking her silently he lowered them both just enough for he beautiful bride to pick them up and happily they walked through the house and out the front door

Cradled in Zosa's arms he dosed against the tuxedoed shirt. It was a long while before the car came to a complete stop, and opening his eyes he saw it. The previous owner was kind enough to leave the safelight on. Sensing their arrival the front of the house illuminated a pathway to the door. There were too unopened boxes as well as an unopened door with a white flower bouquet hanging from the knob. He hugged zosa tighter ready to open the door to the new life.

it took a second trip to grab the presents and bringing them back to felix he put them on the bed before slipping out of his jacket nd climbing into the large bed that took up a third of the house, "what is in them?" finding the switch he flicked it on and looked over to where a small light began to blink. smiling he let his gaze move back to felix, "what is that stuff?"

"Zosa... one is a henna tattoo kit, one is the costume and one is a wedding gift something that I promised and that you may enjoy." He urged the other with a small box. Arching upwards he kissed the other.
