The Light Behind Your Eyes

Gerard's POV

"Gerard, calm down." Frank informed me holding my shoulders to make me stop bouncing. Inhaling, I say, "I can't I'm nervous and excited." "Gee, we have to take a limo down to the pier do you think you'll be able to stay still without running off and marrying Rain on your own?" He asked as I walked over to the bedroom and tied Bandit's Doc Martens. "I don't think so." I muttered as I picked Bandit up, and placed her on my hip before going downstairs. The others entered the limo and Mikey straightened my tie. "Jeez, Alicia has never seen me in a suit, and I've never seen her in a dress. I'm scared." I nodded slowly and ran a hand through my black hair that had gotten longer within the month. Butterflies flew around the pit of my stomach when I thought of Rain and how she would look in that dress. I didn't even know what the dress looked like. All I knew was it was white with black. More butterflies.

I took deep breaths and tried to contain myself. I wasn't getting cold feet, I was just nervous. After today, we would be married. And I was so scared. I had a feeling I was gonna pass out. "Your guy's wedding is trending on Twitter." Frank said before I heard the shutter of the camera click. I shot up from looking down at Bandit's curled and long hair and asked, "Did you take a picture of us?" I asked as Frank nodded and typed, "Rain won't see though. Her phone was taken away." I laughed feeling that Rain was pissed for that. The limo arrived at the pier and my breath hitched. "Chill Gerard, it's okay."

We got off and my knees buckled, Mikey took Bandit from me, afraid I was gonna drop her. I looked around. There were white chairs in rows, at the end of the pier, was a thing where Rain and i would get married in about a couple hours. It was decorated with blue flowers and there was balloons tied to chairs and the railings. "Gerard!" I hear a voice call me. I look up and see Patrick with his guitar. "Look, I trust you. And I'm so happy for you. Just, take care of my Sunshine. I don't know what I'd do without her. She's like my sister. And also, Billie, Tre, and Mike are here." I smiled widely, "God, Rain is gonna be so surprised when she hears them perform for out first dance." Patrick smiled and nodded before patting my back and hugging me before running off.

"Gee. Do you have the lyrics to the song that you wrote for Rain for later?" I nodded and pulled them out, "Good. Will you need them?" Missy asked. I shook my head and she took them before ripping them. "Marry my best friend. And never let her go. That song will make her feel so much better. Especially since she doesn't think she's beautiful with those bruises." I nodded and hugged Missy as she ran off. More deep breaths, I think. I look around before spotting Lindsey, she was just with Rain I knew, she was talking with Jimmy. I jogged over to her and stopped in front of her. "Hi Gerard! Are you ready to get married?" She asked excitedly and I nodded letting out a shaky breath. "Do you have smokes on you?" Lindsey laughed and said, "Yes, but make sure to chew gum, that's her favorite scent. Cigarettes, mint and cologne."

I nodded and lit the smoke before blowing air out. "H- how does she look?" I asked nervously. Lindsey bites her lip before smiling and says, "Stunning, you'll love it." "When don't I love her?" Lindsey laughed and patted my chest before going to Missy. "Gerard Arthur Way!" I hear a shout. Fuck. Heels click on the wooden pier floor and I look up before blowing smoke out of my nose. "No smoking before the wedding!" My ma snaps as my dad follows her. "Nice to see you too ma." I groan. That's when her eyes gloss up. "When did my little Gee grow up? A two year old and getting married at the age of 28." She murmurs before hugging me tightly. I chuckle and hug her back.

My dad holds my shoulder and smiles, "I'm proud of you son." He says before checking his watch and gasping. "I have to go meet up with Rain!" He takes off into the shack where Rain supposedly is. "The wedding is in twenty minutes!" My ma coos hugging me again. "I need to sit down. And I need gum!" I exclaim. "GET HIM A CHAIR AND GUM!!!!" Missy hands me a pack of gum and a chair following my ma's orders. I stuff my mouth with a minty stick of gum before chewing it. "God Gerard, you're gonna fucking interrupt your own wedding with your gum chewing." Mikey says as he bounces Bandit. "Rain loves it." He shakes his head, "No, she loves you." I smiled wearily and sigh as Lindsey snaps her fingers. "PLACES EVERYONE!"

My eyes shoot open as Mikey lets Bandit down and hugs me, "Go and stand where you're supposed to. And stay there eh?" he asked before running off to collect Alicia as he was best man and she was maid of honor, the rest being groomsmen and bridesmaids. I hide the packet of gum under a chair. I let out deep breaths as the minister stands next to me, holding his book. "Nervous?" I nod and look at him again, "Can you pinch me?" He chuckles before softly pinching my arm, "Good, good, it's not a dream." My heart turns to ice once the music starts. First comes Mikey, Alicia linked to him, then Pete and Meagan, Frank and Jamia, Ray and Christa, Bob and Katlin, Lindsey and Missy.

Once Bandit and Cherry (best friends) come down the aisle throwing the flowers once the bridesmaids and groomsmen stand next to me, my breath hitches. I'm about to see her. Bandit stands next to me as Cherry goes to Jamia on the other side. Everyone stands as I see my dad with his arm out, connected to another one. My breathing goes jagged. She's so beautiful. She's wearing a white dress with black and my ma holds the back which has black lace on it and her back has a corset tie. Her hair is done like Jessica Rogers from Roger Rabbit with one side above an eye and curled, but she has a black headband wrapped around her forehead. Her black makeup and her lip gloss contrasts with her pale skin.

Her bruises are barely seen. She wears long black gloves and a huge smile. Like the pictures. That's my wife. With the lavender hair done like Jessica Rogers and the long black gloves and black and white dress. The one with the pale skin and how her makeup contrasts with it. Rain Way. Her eyes trail up to mine and butterflies rise back up. She looks away before they stop right in front of me. My ma and dad kiss her cheeks before walking down to take their seats. I shakily and slowly reach my hand out and her gloved one takes it. Even with a glove, I can feel the sparks. "God you are so beautiful." I murmur as she blushes. The minister began after everyone was seated.

"We are gathered here today in the sight of Gods and angels, and the presence of friends and loved ones, to celebrate one of life's greatest moments, to give recognition to the worth and beauty of love, and to add our best wishes and blessing to the words which shall unite Gerard and Rain in holy matrimony." He pauses and looks around, "Marriage is a most honorable estate, created and instituted by God, signifying unto us the mystical union, which also rests between Christ and the Church or pier as we are here; so too may this marriage be adorned by true and abiding love." Another pause, "Should there be anyone who has cause why this couple should not be united in marriage, they must speak now or forever hold their peace." He looked at the guests, but no one said a word. As the minister continued speaking, I glanced at Rain out of the corner of my eye.

Coincidentally enough, she did the same, unless she was doing it before I glanced at her. Her smile grew and so did mine before I looked back at the minister again. I tuned back in to hear. "Please face each other and join hands." Rain and I turned back towards each other, and I gently reached out and took her hands in mine. It was time to start the vows, and before we did, I mouthed 'I love you' to Rain. She mouthed it back to me just as the minister said, "Gerard, do you take Rain to be your wife? Do you promise to love, honor, cherish, and protect her, forsaking all others and holding only to her forevermore?" Loud and proud, I answer, "I do." The minister looked at Rain, "Rain, do you take Gerard to be your husband. Do you promise to love, honor, cherish, and protect him, forsaking all others and holding only to him forevermore?"

Grinning, she replied, "I do." After that, there was a short reading, which Rain and I smiled at each other throughout. Then, there was a second set of vows, and the minister asked for the rings. Lily toddled over to the minister and placed them into the palm of his hand before going to Frank. I repeated after the minister saying, "I, Gerard take thee Rain to be my wife. To have and to hold, in sickness, and in health, for richer or poorer, and I promise my love to you forevermore." I slipped her glove off before sliding the ring onto her finger and placing the glove back. Then, she took her turn, "I, Rain take thee Gerard, to be my husband. To have and to hold, in sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer, and I promise my love to you forevermore." She put the ring onto my finger as I did and the Minister spoke,

"Gerard and Rain, as the two of you come int marriage uniting you as husband and wife, and as you this day affirm your faith and love for one another, I would ask that you always remember to cherish each other as special and unique individuals, that you respect the thoughts, ideas, and suggestions of one another. Be able to forgive, do not hold grudges, and live each day that you may share it together as from this day forward you shall be each other's home, comfort and refuge, your marriage strengthened by your love and respect." Then he said a prayer and we both bounced up and down for what comes next. "Gerard and Rain, in so much as the two of you have agreed to live together in matrimony have promised your love for each other by these vows, the giving of these rings, and the joining of your hands, I now declare you as husband and wife."

He smiled before stating, "Gerard, you may kiss your bride." I took a deep breath and stood forward as Rain's hand reached up and was placed onto my shoulder as I took her waist. I twirled her around and bent her back before placing a kiss to her lips as everyone cheered. The guests stood and clapped and cheered as we stood straight and I picked Bandit up before taking Rain's hand and yanked her down the aisle as Bandit giggled. We each took baby steps down the stairs onto the sand. "Finally." Rain breathed out before yanking her heels off and throwing them into the ocean as our feet landed in the sand. I threw mine along since they weren't Converse and dress shoes.

"Mommy, Daddy you guys need to go take a walk so we can set up the rest." Bandit said. We nodded and I took her hand in mine. We walked around the beach for a bit before my phone vibrated and I answered. "We're ready," Lindsey said before the line clicked. I smiled at her before we both started walking to the place.

Rain's POV

We arrived at the screenhouse thing just in time. The guests had arrived for the most part, so the other went in ahead of us, and then Gerard and I walked through the doors. As soon as we were inside, we were presented as Mr. and Mrs. Way making my heart skip a beat. I'm not Mrs. Way. Something I've wanted since the day we met. It's so crazy thinking about it. Gerard and I walked to find out seats, hand in hand as we passed by tables to get to the big one at the end of the screenhouse, people smiled at us and congratulated us from their tables. When we got to our table, we sat in the very middle while on my right was Bandit, Alicia, Mikey, Pete, Meagan with Bronx. Beside Gerard was Frank, Jamia, Ray, Christa and Bob with Katlin.

After everyone was seated, Mikey got up to make his speech as the best man and he got up from his seat and stood behind Gerard and I with his glass in hand after getting everyone's attention. Everyone was already looking, wanting to see us. "Thanks for your attentions. Now where do i begin?" Mikey paused gathering his words as Alicia rubbed her thumb across his hand. "My brother wasn't a very popular kid. He was very laid back and the kid in the back of the class who just drew in his notebook. He never thought of himself finding and settling down with a beautiful girl like Rain." He cleared his throat as I blushed.

"He spent most years doing nothing until middle school when he tried out for Peter Pan and he always thought yup, I'm not getting anyone." Everyone laughed, "But in high school, senior year, Gerard and I were in the basement doing whatever, when Frank comes barging through freaking out. He explains about some girl that is perfect for him. Says, that he met some girl name Lindsey and they talked until the subject of Rain came up. Frank explained to Lindsey that Gerard was just like Rain. And that's when it kinda bloomed. Even though Gerard didn't meet her quite yet, he still talked about her. What does she look like? Will she like me? And then the first day of school happened. I had met Rain first and she got beat up. But then I remember, that is Rain, the one for Gerard. Then I see Gerard holding her hand and introducing her. And then he never shut up about her. Then they started dating. Got closer and get through their rough times. Then had Bandit. And now...look at them. Married and happy. Congrats you two. For a happy marriage forever."

he raised his glass of coffee which was supposed to be wine but we no longer drank, so we went for the best drink ever. Coffee! Everyone cheered and drank their wine. More people made speeches and we finally ate. After we ate, the cake was put in front of us and we both stood up. "Ready?" Gerard whispered in my ear as he stood behind me, hand on mine as I held the knife. I nodded and we both cut a slice onto the plate one for the each of us. We both smashed the cake into each other's face and I laughed. That's when we pressed our lips together and licked the cake off. We finished the cake and Gerard stood up, for the first dance as husband and wife. "May I have this dance?" I smiled and placed my hand in his, "You may." Everyone followed us inside.

That's when I heard a familiar beat. It sounded closer than ever. I looked to my right and see Green Day performing, Extraordinary Girl. "Oh Gee!" I gasp before kissing him. He wraps his arms around my waist loosely and I wrap mine around his neck. We dance rather quickly to the beat of the song and ended up just dancing. Not caring if it was a slow dance. He twirled me around a million times and finally the song ended. I hugged the band members of Green Day and thanked them. Everyone was free to do whatever and the photographer dragged us outside with B and we took pictures. Some with B and just us. My favorite one was the one where Gerard held me bridal style and kissed my cheek as I looked at the camera with a huge smile just like the one we had framed and as our lock screens.

"Alright you two enough for now." We went back inside and Bandit dragged me to dance. I lost Gerard and found Mikey who picked B up and handed her to Alicia. "Follow me." He motions for me to join him and he takes me down to the beach. We walk through the sand for a while until I see Gerard, on a stood with a guitar in his hands. Did he learn guitar for this? He started to strum until, his eyes locked on mine, he started to sing

These are the eyes and the lies of the taken
These are their hearts but their hearts don’t beat like ours
They burn ‘cause they are all afraid
For every one of us, there’s an army of them
But you’ll never fight alone
‘Cause I wanted you to know

That the world is ugly
But you’re beautiful to me
Well are you thinking of me now (now)

These are the nights and the lights that we fade in
These are the words but the words aren’t coming out
They burn ‘cause they are hard to say
For every failing sun, there’s a morning after
Though I’m empty when you go
I just wanted you to know

That the world is ugly
But you’re beautiful to me
Are you thinking of me
Like I’m thinking of you
I would say I’m sorry, though
Though I really need to go
I just wanted you to know

I wanted you to know
I wanted you to know
I’m thinking of you every night, every day

These are the eyes and the lies of the taken
These are their hearts but their hearts don’t beat like ours
They burn ‘cause they are all afraid
When mine beats twice as hard

‘Cause the world is ugly
But you’re beautiful to me
Are you thinking of me
Like I’m thinking of you
I would say I’m sorry, though
Though I really need to go
I just wanted you to know
That the world is ugly (I just wanted you to know)
But you’re beautiful to me (I just wanted you to know)
Are you thinking of me

Stop your crying, helpless feeling
Dry your eyes and start believing
There’s one thing they’ll never take from you

(And we’ll never be the same
Like ghosts in the snow
Like ghosts in the sun)

He finishes the song and places the guitar down. I run to him and jump into his arms. "I love you Mr. Way." I mumbled. "Ditto Mrs. Way." It came time for the honeymoon and Gerard and I readied ourselves to charge out. "Ready?" he asks squeezing my hand. "Of course." I state. We barge thought the doors and run down the aisle, as they threw coffee beans at us instead of rice. We stop in front of the limo before I hug Pete, "Be safe okay?" He mumbles, "Oh Pete when will you never be overprotective?" "Never." He laughs as I move to Meagan and Bronx. I hug everyone else before we went to B. "Now, B, be good for Mikey and Alicia okay?"I say. She nods and says, "See you in a few days." She says as she hugs and kisses us both. "OH Gee, I can't leave her!" I sob,

"It's only a few days Love." She smiles and kisses us. "Promise you'll come back?" She asks. I wrap my pinky around hers, Gerard doing the same to her other pinky, "We promise." We state together before entering the limo.
