"It's been too long," Jared murmurs, echoing Jensen's thoughts. Jensen nods, feels the soft silk of Jared's tunic against his cheek before he pulls back reluctantly. He has to look up to meet Jared's eyes; they used to almost the same height, but Jared towers over him now. He looks older, more mature too. The angles of his face are sharper, his horns - a feature all forest people bear - long and thick, and he's bulked up a lot too. Jensen feels small and strangely fragile next to Jared, something he hasn't felt in years.

"Stop right there, Jensen," Jared says, voice kinder. He curls his fingers around Jensen's wrist, tugging and clasping their hands together. "You're the prince of a very respected kingdom. You're a perfect match."
"What about love?"
- - -
Jensen nods, feeling suddenly overwhelmed. It's decided. He's getting married, and not just that, but he's getting married to Jared. Jared who always shared the pastries they sneaked from the kitchen equally between them, who regaled him with stories upon stories when they were younger, and who came here the moment he heard about Jensen's father passing.
- - -
"That wasn't so bad, was it?" Jared murmurs into his ear as they turn around to face the guests. His arm is around Jensen's waist, keeping his tugged against his side.
Jensen smiles up at him. "I think the wedding is supposed to be the easy part. It's what follows that's hard."
- - -
Jensen, who has his knees drawn up and is staring into the empty fireplace, shakes his head. "Not hungry."
"Jensen," Jared murmurs. "I know you don't feel like it right now, but you gotta eat a little. You'll make yourself sick if you don't."
He kneels down in front of Jensen, right in his eyeline, his hand cupping Jensen's shoulder. "Please?" he adds.
- - -
Jared is on top of Jensen, Jensen's legs wrapped around him and tangled with Jared's as Jared grinds down into him. His movements are hard and urgent, their kisses messy. Jensen feels dizzy, head spinning with so many emotions but he can't focus on anything but this, the pleasure and need and the feel of Jared's strong, hard body pinning him down onto the mattress.
- - -
"I don't think the thorns are really that dangerous," Jared replies lightly, meeting Jensen's eyes. He looks happy, pleased, and he holds up a cupped hand filled with blackberries. "Here."
Jensen picks a few from the top of the small pile and eats them. Then, in a spur of the moment, he takes he leans up and kisses Jared's cheek. "Thank you," he murmurs.
- - -
"I'm afraid everyone but my husband will have resist me anyway," Jensen retorts softly, while Jared leads him closer to the middle of the room where couples are dancing.
He pulls Jensen close, one hand sliding around Jensen's waist while he clasps the other with Jensen's. "What a lucky man," he murmurs into Jensen's ear as they start moving.
- - -
Smiling, Jensen traces his fingers down Jared's jawline, then lets his hand move back and trails the tips of his fingers over the curves horn.
"What are you doing?" Jared mumbles, not opening his eyes. Jensen jumps a little, but doesn't pull his hand back.
"Touching you," he replies, and Jared smiles. His eyes blink open slowly.
"Morning," he says softly and adds, "Husband."
