The midsummer sun shone bright and brought a wonderful heat to the beach where the large group of people were gathered. It was an interesting collection of people, dressed in heat adapted but festive clothes. Apart from five of the men, a woman, and a few small children, they were all in their mid twenties. Hovering in the air around them were magnificent beings, glowing in all shades of the colour spectrum. They were all watching three people standing in front of them. Two of the men were dressed in casual white pants and shirts and facing each other, holding each others hands – and the third, dressed more formal in a black shirt with a white collar and a green piece of cloth wrapped over his shoulders, stood between them, but a step back. He spoke.
“We have gathered here today to celebrate Kai and Tala on their day of marriage,” he said. “We have watched them both go from struggling and striving teenagers, fighting for their rights to live life the way they chose. And through all those hardships, came the love that has brought us here today.”He looked at the two men, who were smiling their little mischievous smiles. “Since you both made it very clear that you don't like prayers, we'll get right to it. You may now read your vows.” Both Kai and Tala, as well as the guests chuckled at that. Kai smirked and looked at Tala.
“Alright, Tal,” he said, after taking a deep breath. “Getting here has been one hell of a ride. You're still a hotheaded bitch with some serious temper issues. But I like you that way. And being the romantic loser I tend to be when no one's around, I promise you now that I'll stay with you forever. To hell and back, cause I love you – you bitch.” The onlookers broke out in laughter at the phoenix's 'personal' vows. Tala actually had to wait until they had calmed themselves down a bit. But he was laughing a little too. None of them had told the other what they were going to say. The minister gave a nod as sign for him to do his part. He looked at Kai with a smirk of his own.
“Yeah, like you said,” he smiled. “It's been a ride. More than a ride – it's been a freaking roller coaster. But I guess when you put us together, it's unavoidable. And I still think you're an ill-tempered, cocky bastard sometimes. But, well, sappy as this sounds – you're my ill-tempered bastard. And so I'll stay with you to hell and back, cause I'm a romantic loser as well – and I love you. Bastard.” The onlookers broke out in laughter once more. Count on the two 'evil Russians' to give that kind of vows.
The minister gave a little wave and Melody, proud and beaming, approached them with the small box containing the two gold rings. Tala picked up the one with a royal blue sapphire mounted in the broad band, and he placed it on Kai's finger, with a slightly shaking hand. With a little less shaky hand, Kai picked up the ring with the deep blood coloured ruby, and gently put it on the wolf's finger.
“Shut up, Bry. I just got something in my eye, ok?” they heard Ian's voice somewhere to the right.
“Uh-huh.”
“Bry, you're crying too,” came Spencer's voice. “So shut up.”
“No, I've just got half the fucking beach in my eyes.”
“Uh-huh.”
Tala and Kai began to chuckle again, and the minister smiled widely. He gave a small laugh and said:
“You are now married in the eyes of both the law and of God. Well, you know what you're supposed to do now.” The two newlyweds nodded, eyes still locked to each other. Tala pulled the slightly shorter man close and placed a sort of chaste kiss on his lips. He could feel the smile against his lips for a second before it was fully answered. Kai would have none of that innocent peck.
“Eeew!” came a small girly voice from closer to the ground. The two Russian men broke apart, grinning. That comment had been Melody's signature one for the whole year since Kai and Tala got back together. But she at least called Tala by his name now. The gathered people cheered and applauded when they turned to face them. Kai and Tala walked casually past them, arm in arm, and grinning their most happy and mischievous grins – heading for the awaiting car.

The party was held at Kai and Tala's big mansion in Tokyo, and all the former bladers and long term friends mingled with the rest of the more than hundred and fifty people that hadn't been invited to the ceremony itself. The phoenix and the wolf had been very specific on that. The actual wedding was a family affair, and so the only people they wanted there were their old fellow bladers, Mr. Dickinson (of course), Tyson's family and Max's. The volume was loud, and laughter echoed throughout the entire house. Ian, Bryan and Spencer (who had finally collected themselves and agreed on it being ok to cry a bit during their best friends and only family's wedding), made sure that everyone was having a good time – and occasionally growling at the staff for being clumsy or rude (as well as making sure that the guests got really drunk. It was a Russian wedding after all). Now Spencer came into the great hall, and cleared his throat. The room went dead quiet, and he grinned.
“Everyone! Say hello to the newlyweds! Kai and Tala are in the house!” Following his presentation, Kai and Tala came into the hall – smiling and still arm in arm. A new round of applauses broke out as they were escorted by their fellow Russians to the table. Every guest had had a guide to a traditional Russian wedding party sent to them, and so they were somewhat ready for what would now take place (at least in theory). They prepared for a week long party – and hangovers from hell. Everyone sat down, and the first toast was declared by Bryan.
“Alright, guys,” he said to the two men next to him. “Congratulations. We've all been waiting for you to get hitched. For a second there we though you'd never get to it. We actually started planning a surprise ceremony for you. It would have been a fucking mess, so thank you for getting your act together and do it yourselves. Anyway, here's to the newlyweds!” They all raised their glasses, took a sip of the champagne, threw them to the floor so that they broke – and with wide grins, Bryan, Ian and Spencer called out:
“Gor'ko!” And the guests took up on it, shouting it again and again. Kai and Tala hurried to get on their feet, and make lip contact. They had to keep kissing – without pause – until the guests stopped chanting. Not so hard for them as everyone hoped, but after several minutes of it, even they started needing oxygen. Finally the guests were satisfied, and they were allowed to sit down again. Hilary got on her feet, and raised a new glass (Russian weddings claimed a lot of glasses).
“This toast is usually supposed to be for the parents,” she said. “But we have modified it. So, this toast is for Bryan, Ian and Spencer. The best family our guys could have ever had!” They all drank to that (vodka this time), and the three Russians eyes got a bit glassy. Tala and Kai got on their feet again to do their part in the toast.
“We wouldn't ever be where we are now,” Kai said to them. “If it wasn't for you guys.”
“Thank you for being our family,” Tala continued. “We can't think of a better one.” Loud cheers erupted, and once again someone called out Gor'ko. The phoenix and the wolf complied, and kept doing it until their friends had counted all the way to 100. Then came the appetizers, and they all attacked them with some ferocity – since the one in charge of the food for this party was none other than Rei, and his cooking was nothing short of extraordinary. Then the next toast was called, and it was Tyson that got pointed out. He got up and looked at the couple sitting at the middle of the U shaped table.
“Ok,” he said. “I haven't really given speeches before, but here we go. Both of you scared the living daylights out of me when I first met you, and sorry Tala, but I think I was more scared of Kai – since I actually had to live in the same house as the 'scary, antisocial and potentially evil' Russian dude. I mostly met you by the beydish, but then again, that was scary enough to put me off sleep for a few weeks. But I really came to like our old sourpuss, despite his 'charming' personality, and he became my second big brother. Kai, I can't thank you enough for all you've done for me over the years. But hey, good luck taming the wild wolf. And Tala, keep him on a short leash – the dude is still scary! Cheers!” Everyone laughed and drank again – followed by another round of Gor'ko. After going round the table, it was time for the last speech. Mr. Dickinson got up and cleared his throat.
“Ah, my lads,” he said with teary eyes. “This is one of the most joyous moments in my life. Having seen where you came from, and what it has done to you – and still you are able to have this extraordinary love for one another. It is truly beautiful, and I really do believe that the bond you have is unbreakable. Thank you both for giving me the pleasure of getting to know you. You are both amazing young men, and I wish you the best for the life you will share from this day on. A toast to two of the strongest people I have ever met!” Everyone drank to that, and the tradition was once again called out. When none of the people in the room could force their stomachs to take in any more of the 10 different starters it was time for the first dance. No one had ever seen either Tala or Kai dance – ever – and so they didn't really know what to expect.
The music came on, and to everyone's big surprise it was a song they'd never thought they'd hear in combination with the two men just placing their arms around each other on the dance floor. But it was perfect. It began to play: /I could stay awake, just to hear you breathing.../
Kai had his arms around Tala's neck, and the redhead held a loose but loving grip around his waist, and they slowly started to move. It wasn't really a waltz, since they had both quickly scratched that off the wedding routine-list, but it was the Russians own equivalence to it. They rested their foreheads against one another, and around the first chorus, they could see the whisper coming from the phoenix's lips;
“I love you.”
When the music had faded out, a new round of applauses broke out – and with a soft kiss the couple parted. The music started again, and this time it was much more party-adapted. All Russian originated persons in there hit the floor, and with their arms on each others shoulders they formed a ring and started moving round in a traditional Russian dance. For a few minutes it was just them – but then they started to grab hold of whoever they could find, and the ring became a serpentine. It was a bit unstable since most of them had already started to get a tad...intoxicated. Spencer accidentally tripped and fell – dragging Tala with him. And when they got to their feet, Kai was missing. And so was Ian, Hilary and Rei. The first 'kidnapping' had taken place.
“Guess your husband just got stolen, Tal,” the whale grinned. “Go find him!” And so the wolf exited the room – with most of the wedding party following to witness the whole thing. Eventually he found his husband – in the kitchen, guarded by the people who had disappeared with him. Ian came up to him and smirked.
“Ok, Tala,” he said. “We'll give him back for...hm, let's say...ten grand ones.”
“Ten grands?” Tala objected. “Hell no!”
“What, he's not worth it?”
“He's my husband for fucks sake! I shouldn't have to pay a dime for him!”
“I think Kai is a bit insulted by that, Tala,” the serpent grinned. “You can wipe your nose with ten grands. Why not give them to us instead, and get your guy back?”
“What are you? Stupid? He's mine and you're gonna give him back!”
“Yeah, for ten grands.” The wolf growled for a moment.
“Fine. You'll get your ten grands. I'll be happy to shove them up your ass.” They all laughed, and Kai was handed back to Tala – who took a firm grip around his waist. After returning to the hall, the dancing and mingling continued for another two hours before Rei called out the main course and they all hurried back to the table. Immediately after stuffing as much delicious food in their mouths as they possibly could, the party continued. Kai was stolen a few more times, by various friends and the rest of the guests got good laughter from hearing the wolf wrangle with the kidnappers – while Kai smirked in the background.
Around five in the morning, there was people passed out drunk laying everywhere, and on their way to the bedroom and the long expected wedding night – Tala and Kai saw some interesting things going on. Through the open door in one of the guest rooms they saw two familiar figures getting it on, bigtime. A blonde hair was visible under a jet black one with a long ponytail curling like a snake around the two. The newly weds looked at each other and smiled. Go, Rei and Max, they both thought. In another room, Bryan was enjoying himself with his secretary Roxana – whom he had had a serious crush on for the last two years. Ian was passed out by the door to the master bathroom, shoulder to shoulder with Johnny. They had seen Spencer asleep under the table down in the hall – along with Michael, and a bottle of vodka. They met Hilary a few doors from their bedroom. She looked beautiful, and she was just holding a hand on her growing belly. Noticing the two men, she smiled.
“He always starts kicking at this time a night,” she chuckled. “Makes it hard to sleep. Tyson just passed out. On the floor. I just left him there, and it's going to be so much fun to see him in the morning. He hardly ever drinks, and the amount he got in him tonight is going to hurt tomorrow.” Tala and Kai chuckled.
“Yeah,” Kai said. “And grampa G is going to have the same problem. Even Mr. D was a bit..affected.” Tala wrapped his arms around his husband and kissed his midnight blue hair.
“See you in the morning, Hil,” he said. “The party is back on at noon. But we have some business to attend now.” She laughed.
“Say no more. Have a good night, guys. Congratulations.”
They grinned widely and made it to the bedroom. Once inside, they shared a long and intense kiss – and then began to rid each other of the clothes. Lips and hands touched every bit of skin revealed and they soon ended up in bed. The act was gentle and they hardly let go of each others lips for a second as they climbed towards heaven. This wasn't about lust. This was about love and closeness. After the joint climax, Tala sank down on Kai's slightly sweaty chest and kissed the damp face.
“I love you, Kai,” he whispered.
“I love you too, Tala.” They shared a final kiss before falling asleep in each others arms – the morning light already starting to flood the room and bringing a golden shade to their pale skin. It had been one hell of a ride. But finally, they had reached the goal. The new inscription on their rings read as their vows; from here to eternity – to hell and back.
And the feeling with the colour of emeralds could no longer come between them.
Fin.

Russian weddings are a lot of fun, apparently. It’s complicated too, but here's the basics:
It goes on for a minimum of two days, but it can go on for as long as a week.
Gor'ko! Means “bitter” - and it's referring to the drink – wine or vodka. The thought is that the couple will kiss away the bitterness of the drinks – but if they don't kiss long enough, the guests can complain about their drinks still being bitter and demand that they do it again. The chanting almost always follow immediately after every toast during the night.
It’s considered a successful wedding party if the guests pass out from being drunk, and have memory lapses the following morning.
Kai being stolen is another tradition, where it's the bride who gets stolen by the groom's friends – and he is forced to pay a (nowadays symbolic) ransom to get her back.
