All the foster parents and families aren't interested in adoption, they just want to feel good about themselves.

Chapter Text

Jayce took a deep breath and looked around as he walked down the aisle with his mom on his arm. He looked over and saw Caitlyn seated in the front row along with her parents. Next to her was Heimerdinger wiping his eyes with a tissue, and on the other side of him sat Mel beaming at him. Jayce turned to his mom and gave a huge smile. She turned and met him with one and teary eyes.

“Jayce, my baby boy, I love you so much,” Ximena whispered to him as they came to the altar.

“Mom, I love you too.” He whispered back. Ximena turned back and went to sit down. Jayce went up and stood by the pastor. Jayce was beaming from ear to ear and could not imagine being anywhere else. Viktor and Jayce had been through a lot but in the end, it had all led them here. To this moment. Jayce bit back a laugh at the thought, he was getting married to Viktor! The love of his life!

The music changed and in walked Viktor, in his white suit. Jayce only had eyes for him and everyone simply disappeared. Jayce’s mouth opened a little as he took in the sight of his soon-to-be husband. Viktor’s hair was slightly curled and his suit had a single red rose that matched Jayce’s. His face lit up when they met Jayce’s. Viktor looked beautiful. Once he arrived at the altar Jayce felt the tears in his eyes, but he didn’t care. Today was about him and Viktor, and he didn’t care who saw him get emotional about it. What only mattered today was Viktor.

The pastor started to talk but Jayce didn’t hear him. It was only when Viktor started talking that he became aware of other people again. “Jayce stop staring. People are starting to notice.” He said with a smirk.

“I don’t care. You are so fucking beautiful. I can’t believe I am marrying you right now.” Jayce whispered back. He took Viktor’s hand in his and kept staring. Viktor’s smirk softened into a smile and kept his eyes on Jayce. They stayed like that for a while, gazing into each other’s eyes without another care in the world. Before Jayce knew it was time for the vows.

Jayce cleared his throat, “Viktor, you are the love of my life. You complete me in every way. I don’t know where my life would be without you. When I first saw you in class I was immediately drawn to you and knew I wanted you in my life. I had no idea that we would end up here,” Jayce’s voice cracked a little, “and I wouldn’t have it any other way. You have been with me through the hardest times of my life, and also the best times. My promise to you is this: I will always be there to support your dreams, to be there by your side, to laugh and cry with you, and to be partners throughout life. I vow to love you for the rest of my days.” Viktor turned away and brushed tears from his cheeks.

Then he turned to Jayce. “Jayce, I always thought of myself as a logical person and had my whole life planned out. But when I met you five years ago my whole world changed. For the better. You help me find the fun in life and not to take everything so seriously. I know these last five years have been a long ride, but it led here. That is something that I will always be grateful for. Now I am ready to go through life with you and whatever life throws at us, I know that I can handle it because you will be with me. My husband, I promise to cry with you, to hold you, to laugh with you, to care for you, and to always love you.” Jayce was a mess by the end and used both his hands to wipe the tears on his cheeks.

Jayce turned to find Cait holding the rings. He took one and said, “With this ring, I thee wed.” Then took Viktor’s left hand and slid the ring on his ring finger. Cait gave the other ring to Vik.

Holding up the ring he said, “With this ring, I thee wed.” Viktor took Jayce’s left hand and slid the ring up his ring finger.

The pastor then spoke, “By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you married!”

Jayce quickly met Viktor in the middle of the altar and they smashed their lips together. They barely heard everyone cheering. Viktor’s lips were hot and soft and Jayce’s moved around them like his life depended on it. His hand came around to the top of Viktor’s head and pulled him into deepen the kiss. Vik pushed his body closer until they were pressed up against each other. Viktor is my husband. Jayce thought in complete utter bliss. This moment was perfect, he was kissing the love of his life as a newlywed. They eventually parted and shared one look before they turned to the crowd. Everyone was clapping and shouting. Jayce looked over his shoulder and smiled at his husband one last time before they moved to the crowd.
