in this life, in the next. - leon kennedy x reader
Leon isn't afraid of expressing himself. He tries his best to communicate, and he learns to understand how you are at times, understanding why you would feel one way or another, gestures and words mature, space given when you need space, emotional maturity far more than he could consider.
Which is why he pauses mid-vows to collect himself, eyes glossed over from his tears, middle finger curled and pressed to his cheek as he wipes at it. He had already made a spectacle of letting tears out when you walked down the aisle, so it should come as no surprise that he's crying during vows, but he had not cried during rehearsal, so this comes as a mild hindrance.
"Give. Give me a moment." He tries laughing, only resulting in more tears, and you reach over, gentle hands wiping at his tears.
"Thank you, sweetheart." He laughs. "I'm sorry for ruining our day."
"Don't say that." You hum, taking a step back. "It's your day as much as mine."
"Well, my vows are out of order now, but, I love you." He smiles. "I vow to be the one you wake up to each morning, and while I can not promise that I will be able to accompany you all 365 days of the year, I vow that I will mail and call you no matter where I am. I promise that when you feel lonely, I will find you no matter the distance. I promise to give you space when you need it, and a shoulder to cry into when you are in need of one."
You laugh as the tears fall again, reaching over to wipe at them and hug him, cheek pressed to his chest as he continues reading his vows, hand resting on your lower back, all of his tears wiped with a tissue that someone from the crowd hands you at a certain point, but you mind not that you have to wipe his tears.
"And finally, I vow to love you in this life and the next, and the one after that, and I promise that even when we return to dust and bones in the earth, my soul will continue to search for you forever and ever. I love you."
His voice shakes as he finishes, and you hand him the tissue, patting his shoulder as he lets himself cry.
"I love you." He manages, voice quiet as you hum.
"I love you too. Thank you for making me the happiest person in the world."
"I should be saying that." Leon huffs. "I can't wait to spend the rest of eternity with you"
"Me too, love."

The main milestone has already passed earlier this year but here's another small update on the way to marriage equality in Thailand:
The Marriage Equality Bill has received royal endorsement and will soon be published in the Royal Gazette, according to a government source speaking to Thai Enquirer.
This development signifies that Thailand is the first country in Southeast Asia to officially recognize same-sex marriage, representing a monumental milestone for equality and love—not only within the nation but also throughout the region!
