Summary
Neil channels all of his energy into looking incredibly unbothered, like getting caught crashing a wedding by the groom’s twin-slash-best man was all part of his grand plan.
The other man breaks the silence first. “Who are you?”
Stubbornly, Neil keeps his ass planted on the ground while he racks his brain for the bride’s name. Kate? Kathryn? Katie? Oh, right—“I’m Katelyn’s cousin.”
The best man tilts his head, observes Neil, and says, “No, try again.”
Fuck.
*
Neil is no stranger to crashing weddings. This one would've been a walk in the park, if not for the groom’s twin getting in his way.

Summary
"No, you're not real," he says, and he thinks he repeats it a few times, trying to convince himself it's all one bad dream. Whatever is stalking him stops, but Neil can still feel its aura, its power. The presence it has is gargantuan, a wall Neil has no hope of getting past. Just like his father in front of him. At the thought, at the ghost of hands on him, Neil screams. "You're gone!"
And he opens his eyes just as the lightning strikes. It bathes the forest in a bluish glow for half a second, but it's enough for Neil to see.
It's not his father, it's—
The dog in front of him boofs softly, and Neil's eyes widen.

Summary
Aaron turned to his brother and switched to speaking in German. “The fuck do you want?”
“He wants a tattoo.”
“You’re a tattoo artist last I checked.”
“He was some some fucking quote written on his ribcage like he’s a 19 year old woman. I’m not interested. Overcharge him and send him on his way.”
“Why the fuck did you let him come in here half naked if you weren’t planning on doing it?”
“The fuck?,” a third voice spoke up in German. Andrew and his carbon copy turned to Neil. “I didn’t walk in without my shirt on.”- Language:
