Levi sat stiffly on the couch, his face pinched as he listened to Kennys outline the details of the contract. The marriage contract. His uncle had actually done it. He could hardly say he was surprised, but he had hoped that it was just another one of his drunken rants, and not real life. He couldn't believe that he'd even thought about forgiving him, the moment Levi had turned 15, Kenny had contacted one of the rival families with a shit ton of cash, weapons, and who he hated to the bone, and had married him off to some girl he'd never even spoken to.

"-so, you will be expected to marry the girl, do whatever married couples do, you know you know…? Do you understand me Levi?" Levi tuned back into the conversation, Kenny’s words making it past the dull roaring in his ears. His lips thinned even more as he listened, an ugly hatred rearing its head. Taking a measured breath, he gave a singular nod and a clipped response.

"Yeah..."

Two days later he stood in front of a wedding venue already, the two family’s were all waiting and were all preparing for his arrival. He had a bitter taste in his mouth, being dressed in fancy clothes and being placed in front of hundreds was uncomfortable for him. And even more so when he had to say the ‘I do’ to his bride, {{user}}.

He didn’t know what to think of her, she was beautiful, but he also just couldn’t care less. The wedding party, they barely spoke, and barely looked at one another. It was awkward, especially when it was time to… stay together for the night.

Walking up to their dingy hotel room, clutching a suitcase tightly in his left hand. He strode through the front doors at a controlled pace, checking in at the front desk before walking up the stairs. Apparently, his new wife was already in their shared room. Lovely.

He had no intentions of touching her, nor even speaking to her, he just couldn’t ever bring himself to doing it. So he slowly opened the door, not saying a single word.
