The Little Things Pt 809/? (Forever After Sequel)
Chapter 809
Flashback
Adam stood in front of the alter with his brother by his side as they waited for Kris and Daniel to arrive. They were exactly twelve minutes late and Adam couldn't help but think the worse.
“Maybe he's not coming.” Adam turned to see his brother smirking at him.
“Shut up.” Adam warned. He looked over his shoulder again his eyes scanning over the family and friends that had showed up to witness him do something normal for once. He smiled his eyes settling on his great Aunt in the third row giving an unsure side glance at the drag queen to her right.
“I think he's realised he's not gay and ran back to Katy.” Neil leaned to whisper in Adam's ear.
“Shut up.” Adam repeated through gritted teeth. “God your so annoying.”
“Hey don't be taking the lords name in vein. Especially not here.” Neil said looking out into the pews. “Hey look at the differences between our side and the Allen's side.”
Adam smirked as he looked around the church. While Kris's side was filled with men in black suits and woman in pretty dresses Adam side of the church was filled with a few woman in black suits and a whole lot of men in pretty dresses. “Hey.” Adam said looking over his shoulder at the Allen's side. “Why is Brad and Cass over there.” Adam pointed out seeing the two men sitting beside Kim in the front row.
“She apparently spent the night in their room with couple of her girlfriends. Neil's getting pretty freaked out by it all.”
Adam looked across to his soon to be mother in law and ex. “But he's my friend.”
“Your taking away her oldest son the least you can do is give her Cheeks.” Neil whispered. “Speaking of.” Neil nodded to the back of the church where the minister was coming towards them followed by Kris and Neil. “Huh. Guess he is still gay.”
Daniel got to Adam first giving his shoulder a friendly pat as he past him. Kris came next taking his place by Adam's side in front of the alter. “Sorry we're late but someone pulled the buttons from my shirt.” Kris said in a whisper.
Adam raised an eyebrow looking down at Kris. “And who would do that?”
Before Kris could answer the minister cleared his throat to get their attention. “We could wait if you want.”
“Sorry.” Kris and Adam mumbled together.
The minister gave them a warm smile before looking down at his book. “Friends and family we are gathered here today to celebrate a special union. The past few weeks I have spent a lot of time in the company of Kris and Adam discussing how this ceremony would be. It was clear to me that no matter what religion the service would focus on, it would not be the main focus. Today instead we will be focusing on love. Now Kris could write it better and Adam would sing it better than I can say it but from my short time knowing them it is clear that the love these two share is strong pure and very real.” The minister paused and smiled as Kris slipped his hand into Adam's. “There is one thing I am completely sure of in this world and that is that the human heart is stronger than anything else. When Adam and Kris first met their hearts soon knew exactly what they wanted but sadly they took a few months to catch up with their hearts. But when the heart and mind caught up they soon realised they were made for each other. It was another few months of quiet dates and letting their love grow before the rest of us got to know. From what I have learnt and what most of you already know there is some differences between the two. Where Kris would be happy to sit at home with his guitar and quietly write a new song Adam wants to go out and light up the world. Now for most of us this would cause problems but for Kris and Adam it's just another endearing quality that drew them to each other. In Adam Kris found a person to pull him back from that place he likes to put himself in. It's common knowledge that Kris enjoys keeping his head down and letting someone else take the limelight and in Adam Kris has found that someone. Now for Adam Kris brought that sense of calm he gave him what Kris called an anchor. Something to hold onto when the world got too much. Now not everyone has been as supportive to Kris and Adam as everyone here has. They came to Connecticut to this church because they could not marry in their home state of California. What they have is not seen as important enough to be called a marriage but I can say this with complete honestly that I have not see a more loyal loving committed couple in my twenty five years as a minister. It was that reason alone that made me say yes when they came to me asking if I would marry them. It is my honour to be able to witness this day. Now Kris and Adam have asked instead of hymns if a few of their friends would come up and sing. So if Allison and Matt would like to come up..” The minister smiled as he signalled for the Idols to come up to the alter.
“They better now suck.” Adam whispered to Kris earning as elbow to his back from Allison as she passed him.
“You deserved that.” Kris smiled.
Matt began playing a stripped down piano version to Allison's song No one else as Allison stood behind the microphone. “Okay now we're alone.” Adam said bending down to press his lips against Kris's ear. “Are we married yet cause he went on for forever.”
“Not until I do baby.” Kris whispered keeping his eyes on Allison and Matt.
Adam wrapped his arm around Kris resting it over his heart as he pulled him against his chest. “Your hearts racing.”
“I'm nervous.”
“Well don't be. It's only me.” Adam whispered kissing Kris's ear. Wrapping his other arm around Kris Adam held him close as he gentle swayed them to the music.
“ I love this song.” Kris whispered as the song came to an end. Adam let go of Kris to applaud the Idol's along with Brad. The clapping soon dyed down when they realised they were the only two clapping. “You don't cheer in church.” Kris whispered looking up at Adam.
“Oh.” Adam turned looking at Kris's side of the church. “Sorry but we're performers music's our god.”
….......................................
“Kris and Adam prepared their own vows.” The minister said closing his book. “Kris if you would like to go first.”
Kris turned towards Adam taking both his hands in his own. “When you banged into me in that hotel in Hollywood looking crazy and wild I knew you would make an impact on my life. I just didn't know it would be this.” Kris smiled holding Adam's hand to kiss his knuckles. “I know it came as a shook to everyone, especially you when I admitted I loved you but for me it was the most unsurprising news in the world. I fell for you that first day and I'm still falling. I wake up every morning amazed that I'm with you, that someone like you let's me love them. You know that I'm not very good with talking and making sense at the same time so I've made this very simple. I love you now I loved you then and I will love you always. Your everything to me and if giving you my heart is all I have to do to keep you with me then it's yours. I know I gave you my heart a long time ago but I'm giving you it again in front of everyone we know. I want the world to know I'm yours and only your.” Kris gave a small smile as he lean in to kiss Adam's knuckles again.
Adam smiled wide as he cleared his throat. “My turn?” He asked looking at the minister.
“Yes Adam.” The minister laughed lightly.
“Okay.” Adam took a deep breath. “Growing up some things were just fact. I had to sing or I would be miserable and I was attracted to men. The first was simple to admit but the second brought some problems. As a teenager even thinking the word gay would bring on blushing and you've seen the pictures. I didn't need to be any redder than I already was.” Adam joked earning a low laugh from Kris. “Even in my twenties when I was out and supposedly proud I felt uncomfortable. I never felt totally at ease with myself. I was the gay son, nephew, cousin or work mate. And then I went on Idol and I was the gay singer. I was the gay singer to everyone but you. To you I was Adam. You never saw the gay sign flashing above my head. I was just Adam and I feel in complete awe with you for that. When we would sit in our room at the mansion and go over our song on your guitar instead of watching movies with the others you would ignore the playful teasing they gave you. It didn't bother you that people were talking about our closeness it only made you hug me more. You are the most open minded confident person I know and through you my own confidence has grown. You make me feel like a better person.” Adam swallowed the lump in his throat as he let go of Kris's hands to cup his face. Adam leaned forward pressing his forehead against Kris's. “Your so pure and open and willing to love me with everything you have. Just one look from you and I'm floored. I can't give you the world but I gave give you my world, everything I have is in you. I promise you and every person here that I will love you forever. I know I can keep that promise cause I know that without you I would die. My life is nothing without you.” Adam admitted in a whisper as he leaned in to kiss Kris's lips.
“You're not supposed to kiss me yet.” Kris whispered with a giggle.
“I don't care.” Adam whispered kissing Kris again.
“Kris put his hands over Adam's squeezing them. “Love you.”
“Love you too.”
Kris, Adam it's time for the formal part.” The minister smiled as they pulled apart. “Kristopher do you take this man to be your husband, to live together in the covenant of marriage? Will you love him comfort him, honor and keep him in sickness and health and forsake all others as long as you both shall live? If so signify by saying.”
“I do.” Kris said looking directly into Adam's eyes.
“Adam do you take this mane to be your husband, to live together in the covenant of marriage? Will you love him comfort him, honor and keep him in sickness and health and forsake all others as long as you both shall live? If so signify by saying.”
“I do.” Adam answered loud for everyone to hear.
“Could we have the rings now?” The minister asked both the best men.
Adam turned sharply to Neil giving him a look that said don't. Don't even think about doing something stupid right now. Neil rolled his eyes handing over the ring. “And have Mom kill me?”
“Now Adam.” The minister smiled. “Place the ring on Kris's finger and repeat after me. Kris I give you this ring as a symbol of my vow and with all that I am and all that I have I honor you.”
Adam held Kris's shaking hand in his own. “Kris I give you this ring as a symbol of my vow and with all that I am and all that I have I honor you.”
“Kris repeat after me. Adam I give you this ring as he symbol of my vow and with all that I am and all that I have I honor you.”
“Adam.” Kris paused to take a deep breath.
“We really need to do something about your nerves baby.” Adam whispered gentle as he squeezed Kris's hand.
“Adam.” Kris began again. “I give you this ring as a symbol of my vow, and with all that I am and all that I have I honor you.”
“Now I can pronounce you husbands. Now you can kiss your husband Adam.” The minister smiled.
“Finally.”
