(ooh! That's awesome! Congrats!!)
Faybian chuckled with a nod. "yes, I meant married. I'm still getting used to that, but I like the sound of being married to you." He settled into the chair across from Alexander, draping his jacket over the back of the chair as his gaze wandered around the bakery and outside the window. The place oddly felt familiar in that it was warm, classic in its decore, almost akin to Faybians home in hell, though there was a distinct difference here where it was absent back there. Here, there was life. People around them talked in their own little bubbles that radiated happiness. Outside was lively, with people enjoying the last bit of warmth before winter came. Across from Alexander, the human he loved more than he had ever thought possible in his afterlife spoke of marriage and being happy forever. He could never have this back in Hell.
"I suppose that's true, though you had no problem making your opinions known to me even back then. And I'd like to argue I was a bit scarier than a barista." He grinned and watched the people outside their window, his grin turning whistful as he imagined their wedding. Faybian had a few ideas for the wedding, but nothing was set in stone. As long as he was marrying Alexander, he couldn't care less about what it all looked like. "I would rather have you adorably flustered and tripping over your words, knowing you're putting your heart into the vows rather than a robotic, emotionless proclamation of your love at our wedding, darlin." His focus returned to his fiance, watching as Alexander carefully folded and unfolded the napkin, the brief glance causing a smile to twitch on his lips. Alexander's bashfulness was something Faybian had found great amusement in even after years of being together. It was something he hoped would never change. He propped his cheek against his hand and reached for Alexander's hand with his free one, gently turning the ring on his finger. "None I'd particularly be glad came, no. I was overlord for a while; I'm sure there'd be someone who'd come if I asked, but none I'd want to see there." He replied with a shrug, "I'd be infinitely happier seeing your friends there than anyone from hell." He breathed a laugh, shaking his head slightly. "nothing you do us a fluke, Alexander. Summoning me was intentional. Falling in love with me may have been out of your control." He pressed a kiss to each of Alexander's knuckles before meeting his gaze. "But regardless of how we met, I'm glad you summoned me. I'm glad I stayed with you."
