There's No Love In the Deathzone (BL)

In the end, Alma secretly cried in the corner, while threatening anyone to never tell Zein about it.

Gracefully, Zein pretended not to know despite several nosy birds chirping in his ears about it. Besides, there were other people whose dam seemed to be broken. Including his own new husband.

He just came inside for a bit to take off the long tail attached to his vest, and he came back to a crouching Bassena, face buried in his hands.

"What is wrong with him?"

"He was freaking out about almost dropping your ring into the lake," Han Shin laughed. "What a silly goose."

All in all, the ceremony was going quite smoothly. It was respectable; the audience was solemn, and they exchanged the vows they had exchanged countless times already. Bassena had even managed to speak his vow without stuttering.

The ’disaster’ happened when he was moving the ring engagement ring to the other hand, turning it into a wedding ring. He had been steeling himself during the vow that his hand became so sweaty and the ring slipped from the tip of his fingers.

They were in a dock. A lake was beneath them.

The esper--the strongest esper there--froze in shock for a split second where gasps could be heard from the audience. Thankfully, he had a sentient skill that caught the ring and almost put the ring on Zein’s finger--before Bassena woke up from his momentary stupor and snatched it.

For Zein, the fact that he didn’t want his child of darkness--a part of him--to put the ring safely instead of his clammy hands was more silly than almost dropping it. But getting flustered now after the rings were safely in their hands was the silliest of them all.

Still, it was cute.
