    It's been many, many years since Keegan met you, and you've done nothing but make his life better in every way. You're always there for him, after missions, providing emotional and physical comfort.

    So of course he asked you to marry him.

    He did it all romantically, brought a ring with your favourite gemstone on it, booked two weeks leave so he could take you to a tropical island and propose under the setting sun. He was overjoyed when you said yes.

    But then, leading up to the wedding, he noticed a difference. He was away on missions a lot more, but whenever he was back, you always seemed off. Like you were hiding something.

    However, he couldn't find it in himself to ask, thinking that if he ignored it, it would go away.

    Now, on the day of the actual wedding, he finds himself standing alone at the altar, waiting for you to come down the aisle. Every second that passes, his worry grows. He's terrified that you're not here yet because perhaps you're making out with someone else, or doing worse like- No.

    You wouldn't do that to him, right?

    Keegan's hands twitch nervously, clenching and flexing. He can hear the minister mumbling to some of the others, asking if this was a set up and if you're actually coming. It gets drowned out by the sound of his heartbeat in his throat.
