10th Contraption: Mawwiage

Who: John Watson, Johnny Summer, and César Salazar with Rich Goranski, Fio, and Honoria Crabb AND YOU Oh god why are weddings like this
What: The throuple getting married by... the Captain?!
When: December 11th at 7pm
Where: John's
Warnings: I believe in us! But for now, nothing.


SEATING

John's has been transformed, the seating up front rearranged in rows towards the center dias with an aisle down the middle, the piano moved off to one side. The buffet for later can be seen off to the other. Decorations taken from Spirit Halloween appear here and there–flowers taken from cavalera flower crowns, sun and moon candlestick holders from the tarot collection, festively colored tablecloths draped down the walls like curtains or banners. A sign near the entrance says "seat yourself", although the front row on one side is reserved with a ribbon across the backs.

What can't be seen is who is officiating. Or the husbands, but at least that part makes sense. The dais is empty.


THE CEREMONY

As one of the few traditions in this wedding, music announces the start of the ceremony. Rich strolls in first, trying to look professional even if he’s clearly shaking a bit as he holds the small pillow with the rings laid on it. At least he’s dressed quite smartly, Johnny ensuring his red suit is wrinkle free and his cuff links are set in place. Fio, in a winged black dress and flowery headdress, follows after the ring bearer, adorning the path with paper petals as she moves along.

The first husband to be down the aisle is none other than Johnny, in a smart charcoal grey suit with a goldenrod pocketsquare, gold jewelry, and a wreath of orange blossoms on his head; and accompanied by Honoria Crabb in her perfectly tailored black tuxedo, worn with black gloves and a white bow tie. Watson and César take up the rear, arms linked together. César is wearing an equally fancy suitcoat with his tie held in place with a ruby and silver tie pin, and Watson is wearing an officer’s dress uniform, with the sword and without the helmet, and also his good cane. All three husbands-to-be are wearing green carnation boutonnières.


AFTER PARTY

It's time to eat, dance, and party!

The seating has been rearranged for sitting at tables around the "dance" floor. Food from Windjammer has been placed on some tables for a buffet. There’s a selection of fancy cheeses and crackers, sushi, premade sandwiches, and salad with dressings on the side. For dessert, to one side there’s a table with cupcakes, cookies, and chocolates arranged in a heart. On the bar are a couple bowls of punch (including one explicitly labeled as non-alcoholic) made by Johnny ahead of time, because he's been forbidden to bartend his own wedding, much to his deep chagrin.

There’s a space set just off the dancefloor for musicians who wish to perform, the usual John’s piano (bribed into behaving with a whole pan of beef brisket from the buffet) off to one side.

(It’s so sad)

“That sounds like…the wording isn’t right. But we don’t want each other to sleep with other people unless we’re together. We talked about it before. I wanted to check something before I did it and wrecked things so early on. It definitely caused a minor hiccup and he told me I should date people to prove that he was the best aaaand I did not do that because that’s dumb for one and for two he was obviously trying to act like it was cool when it wasn’t and he wouldn’t be happy with it. I wouldn’t make him do something he wasn’t happy with. Not like that.”

Klaus shrugs. “Everyone’s different. You don’t have to do open or even maybe open to another person. Or polyamory or anything you’re not comfortable with. Just one of those conversations. When things are starting out.” There’s a pause before they say, “I honestly didn’t think he’d ever be actually interested cause he’s always saying his hands are too full with me. Thought it was just a thing we weren’t ever actually exploring, but he’s the one that suggested the threesome with Valdis.” They smile a little. “That’s not to say I didn’t agree or that I minded. Just surprised. Then again, Valdis is soooo hot.”

"Date other people...?" Sometimes, the things Nobunaga says...

"I don't know how you do it sometimes, man. You know I love the guy but he's a live wire. Makes me think there actually can be too much of a good thing because his passion sure does take him down some interesting logic paths." Maybe it's culture shock, he doesn't know, but man sometimes he just wants to shake the dude.

"I'll keep that in mind. I do need to find out where Arthur stands on it, but given the time period he came from I'm thinking he might be even less inclined to it than I am." But you never know...

"I'll give you that. She's smoking hot. But I also don't know if I'd trust her not to suck my soul out through my mouth when she got done with me."

"He gets weird when he's jealous sometimes." Klaus shrugs. "But I know a boundary when I see it. Even if he feels like he's confining me to give them to me. Worried about castes and things."

There's a small pause. "Well, mostly I guess I just...do my best. Talking about things and sometimes he says a lot...but...I dunno. We make it work." He's smiling a little. "Sometimes he does need a little logic shoved in his breain, though. And he's pretty stubborn. And misses things he should understand, but...so do I, I guess. And he does listen when I talk to him." There's a lot of things about Nobunaga that Klaus loves and even with the frustrating parts, they still want to make it work.

"Probably. He doesn't seem like an open relationship type? But I could be wrong. Still...it's good to like...talk about things and communicate. I try to do my best with it, but even I'm not perfect."

That gains a laugh. "I mean, I think she might, but it would be fine. And she doesn't usually take a lot of it. Just enough for healing. Except that...one time." But now he realizes that was like being high and he does feel a little bad for not seeing it at the time.

okay with starting to wrap this one?

"I worry about that sometimes myself. His uh... hang-ups already got him in hot water with Arthur. First guy I ever had to come up with a conversational safeword for." He's still not sure if Arthur and Nobunaga have actually made up over that incident or if they are just both not talking about it. He doesn't want to kick the hornet's nest by asking. Crichton knows plenty about loving someone who's a little bit difficult at times.

"No one's perfect. Something we both gotta remember, right?" A little forgiveness and grace goes a long way.

"That one time...? You know what? I don't wanna know. Just as long as everyone's into it that's all I need to know. I'm learning my lesson about staying out of other people's private business." Is he, though?

yes!

"Yeeeaaaaah. We had a whole conversation about things. And him listening to me more. I'm usually the hottest mess in all my relationships, so this is new to me." Haha. This is a funny joke, right?

Klaus gives him a little smile. "Yeah. It's probably best not to like...get too caught up in all that stuff."

thanks! End~

"That's a good start, anyway. Talking about it." Maybe being the responsible one will be good for Klaus too. He's not saying that out loud, though.

"Probably. On that note, I think I'll catch up with you more later. I gotta figure out where my disaster of a boyfriend got off to." Said with much affection. Surely, they get it.
