There is a wedding on the planet. You may know this because you were invited to this wedding by this little guy and it's a lovely ceremony! You can watch the couple get married, wether you know them or not, the whole fleet was invited.Even if they don't know you either.

Noctis was in all black and he was beside himself, the time had finally come and after seeing his beautiful bride he couldn't look away. The music was soft yet appropriate. Luna was beaming, holding onto Shiro's arm down the aisle until they were together and holding hands. The vows went on as if in another room. Noctis couldn't quite focus on them, he was fighting getting sucked into Luna's orbit and just kissing her prematurely. Distantly he heard his cue to repeat after the offician and he recited his vows word for word. Umbra had their rings ready for them. When he put Luna's on her finger he felt a tear spill down his cheek. He couldn't stop smiling. The officiant led Luna then and Noctis hung on every word. Her voice was melodic and soft. Then he had a ring on his finger and he felt himself crying again. He just looked at her, he officiant left them through the end, announcing it was over, they were married.

Noctis didn't wait for any cue, he pulled Luna in close and dipped her as they kissed.

They were laughing and crying and holding each other tight. They were in their own world for the time being. But the RECEPTION starts now. And that's what everyone really came for. There's alcohol, food in a buffet, and cake . Those of you at the cake tasting with them may notice the flavor you recommended is available as a donut! All of the suggested flavors are availalble, it was hard to decide who didn't get their favorite and what ONE flavor to make an entire cake out of. It didn't sit well with either of them.

Also sparklers There is a table with a few gifts on it, but it contains a large display of long sparklers with matches and a bucket of water saying "Please light up our night!"

SO Have at the reception everybody!

There is a: Dance floor with music booming, a buffet with delicious food and CAKE, There is BOOZE of all types and it's just flowing with no signs of stopping, and sparklers! Also dancing with the bride..... or getting a photo with the couple!

[Keith was lying, but probably not about what Lance was thinking. He wasn't fine. He was uncomfortable, and awkward, and felt really out of his element. The whole party had him on edge, and he would be much happier just going back to his corner and waiting it out until it was over by leaning against the wall alone.]

No...

[He frowned, seeing that Lance had picked up on it.]

You're not.

[His voice was low, serious, and he was being completely honest. It wasn't Lance that was making him feel awkward.]

I know parties really aren't your thing, and I totally won't blame you for it even if I'm the complete opposite. But I just, uh, I'm kind of...really not minding us dancing?

[Lance, the smoothest guy ever.]

I just hope maybe part of you doesn't really mind too much as well?

[The SMOOTHEST.]

[Keith sighed a little.]

I said it was fine, okay?

[He looked down.]

Look, I'm just not... yeah. It's the whole party thing, really. But this really is fine. It's quiet out here.

[Lance wasn't the only smooth operator here.]

[It's a really good thing no one is hearing this all, honestly.

Lance spins them around, expression brightening up again. He's about to crack a joke like of course it's fine, you're dancing with the best dancer in the building, but decides against it.]

I guess the quiet isn't always that bad. ...Thanks, Keith. Really.

[Hopefully, no one was...

Keith looked a little surprised at the sudden spin, but kept up with the movement easily enough. He managed a small smile at Lance's comment about the quiet.]

Yeah. It's kinda nice, actually.

[He decides then and there that he likes those small smiles. Mostly when they're directed at him. What, he likes it when people are happy with him, that's all.]

Maybe I should give you some dancing lessons sometime. You might be better at me when it comes to fighting, but I've got some skills too.

[You know it's serious when Lance actually admits to Keith's face that the red paladin is actually better than him in something.]

[Suuuuure it was...

Keith shook his head.]

That's fine, really. I don't need to learn more. I don't plan on making dancing a habit.

[Though, Lance's words sunk in after a bit.]

You're not a bad fighter, you know. [Sure, he could do with a little more polish, but they were all improving a lot since they'd started this weird space journey. Keith had to give credit where credit was due, after all.] You've gotten a lot better.

[Huh. Keith compliments. Another rarity. Tonight's a lot more of a surprising night than he ever thought it'd be.]

I, uh, thanks. I didn't want to fall behind or be a hamper to the team or anything.

[Keith considered that for a moment.]

None of us do. We all know there's a lot at stake. We just have to keep working at it and getting better.

[It had been a lot to put on them, really. They weren't the greatest bunch of candidates, and they all had things to learn and deal with. But, somehow, it worked. But luck would only get them so far, and making sure they kept improving was important. Keith stopped the dance for a moment, making sure he had Lance's full attention.]

Look. I meant what I said during those dream things. We don't always get along, but we still make a good team when it counts.

...We really do.

[And he's kind of proud of it. He gives Keith's hand a squeeze, grinning at him. They'd all put a hell of a lot of effort into things, and he was glad that their rag tag group had gotten so far as it was. And extra happy that his own efforts are noticed.]

[Keith gave Lance a small smile back, but, after a moment, he let go and poked him lightly in the chest.]

Alright... you got your dance. Happy?

Honestly? Yeah. I'm hoping you didn't have a miserable time either.

[He pokes him right back.]

[Keith chuckled a bit as Lance poked him.]

Yeah... It was nice.

...

Thanks.

[That Keith thought it was nice. That Keith was thanking him. It's still a little surreal to Lance. But a good kind of surreal, like a pleasant dream you can't really recall all the details of.]

Thank you.

[Keith smiled a little.]

Yeah.

[He glanced back towards the room.]

I'm going to get something to drink... you want anything?

Definitely. I could use another glass of whatever the heck we were just drinking.

[Wine, Lance. It's just wine. Probably. You never really know in space.]

[Keith raised an eyebrow.]

Let's just not overdo it, okay? We don't really know what that stuff is.

Space wine!

[Everything is space [x] when you're in space, alright?]

We have to celebrate the fact that you didn't step on my feet.

[This did not surprise him. Keith just shook his head at Lance.]

Fine. But I'm not getting drunk.
