The rooftop garden of Silver Moon Apartments was in full bloom like never before. Colorful flowers carefully selected from various parallel worlds filled the air with a sweet fragrance. Today was a special day—Alex and Kai were finally having their wedding.
In the morning, Alex stood in front of the mirror, nervously adjusting his suit. The deep blue tuxedo was custom-made for today, embroidered with subtle starlight patterns symbolizing their love that spanned across the stars.
"Nervous?" Leo's voice suddenly sounded.
Alex took a deep breath. "It would be a lie to say I'm not. I've been waiting for this day for so long, and now that it's finally here, it feels a bit unreal."
Leo's holographic image appeared, wearing a gentle smile. "That's normal. But trust me, when you see Kai, all the nervousness will vanish."
Meanwhile, in another room, Kai was also making final preparations for the wedding. He wore a pure white suit, forming a perfect contrast with Alex's deep blue. Kai's mother was helping him with his hair.
"My child," she said softly, "look at you, so handsome. I'm so proud of you."
Kai showed a rare shy smile. "Thank you, Mom. I'm... I'm a bit nervous."
His father walked over and patted his shoulder. "That's normal. Remember, marriage is not just a ceremony, but a lifelong commitment. But I believe you and Alex are ready."
As time passed, guests began to arrive. Friends from different worlds brought various gifts and blessings. The residents of Silver Moon Apartments also dressed up for the occasion, offering their sincerest wishes to the guardians.
Finally, the wedding began.
Alex stood in the center of the garden, his heart racing. When the music started and Kai slowly walked in accompanied by his parents, Alex felt as if the whole world had stopped.
Kai, dressed in pure white, seemed to glow in the sunlight. His eyes were fixed on Alex, full of love and anticipation.
When Kai reached Alex, they smiled at each other, both seeing happiness and emotion in each other's eyes.
Dr. Blackwood's image appeared as the officiant. His voice was solemn yet gentle: "Today, we gather here to witness the union of Alex and Kai. Their love has transcended time and space, overcoming countless challenges. Now, let us hear their vows."
Alex took a deep breath and held Kai's hands: "Kai, from the moment we first met, I knew you were special. We've been through so much together, faced countless challenges. But no matter what difficulties we encounter, with you by my side, I fear nothing. I promise that from this day forward, I will cherish you, protect you, and face every challenge in life with you. I love you, not just for who you are, but for who I become when I'm with you."
Tears welled up in Kai's eyes as he softly said: "Alex, you are the most wonderful surprise in my life. You taught me how to love, how to trust, how to bravely face my inner self. I used to wander alone in the darkness, and you brought me light. I promise that from now on, I will always stand by your side, whether in sunny days or stormy nights. We've been through so many incredible adventures together, and my greatest adventure is spending the rest of my life with you. I love you, Alex, forever."
Everyone present was moved by their sincere vows. Many quietly wiped tears from their eyes.
Dr. Blackwood continued: "By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you partners for life. You may kiss each other."
Alex and Kai smiled at each other, then leaned forward, their lips meeting. The kiss was gentle yet passionate, seeming to contain all the love and promises between them.
When they parted, the entire garden erupted in applause and cheers. Blessings in languages from different worlds filled the air.
Then came the joyous celebration. Guests enjoyed delicacies from various worlds and appreciated Melody's cross-dimensional music performance. Alex and Kai twirled on the dance floor, their faces radiating happiness.
In the evening, as the celebration was winding down, Alex and Kai went to the edge of the roof. They overlooked the city lights, feeling each other's warmth.
"We really did it," Alex said softly, "we got married."
Kai squeezed Alex's hand: "Yes, it feels incredible. But you know what? More than the wedding itself, I'm looking forward to our future."
Alex turned, looking at Kai lovingly: "Whatever the future holds for us, I'm glad to face it with you."
Just then, the night sky suddenly lit up with brilliant fireworks. These weren't ordinary fireworks, but pure energy forming various wonderful patterns.
"This is..." Kai said in surprise.
Alex smiled: "This is a surprise I asked Leo to prepare. Each firework represents a world we've experienced."
They cuddled together, watching the fireworks bloom in the night sky. Each one evoked their shared memories—the mysterious floor where they first met, the alternate worlds they fought in together, every moment they supported each other in times of crisis.
As the last firework faded, Alex said softly: "Kai, thank you for choosing me, for choosing this extraordinary life."
Kai turned, cupping Alex's face: "No, I should thank you. You gave me a home, a future worth fighting for."
They kissed passionately again, as if trying to cherish this moment of happiness forever.
When they returned to the wedding venue, the guests were preparing to leave. Everyone wore happy smiles, offering final blessings to the newlyweds.
Alex and Kai stood at the entrance, thanking each guest. After the last guest left, they returned to the now empty garden.
"So," Alex said playfully, "Mr. Chen-Shadow, ready to start our honeymoon?"
Kai shook his head with a smile: "Every day is a honeymoon with you. But, my husband, we still have a multiverse to protect, remember?"
Alex pretended to sigh: "Alright, alright. But at least let us enjoy a few days of peace?"
Kai nodded, saying gently: "Of course, we deserve it."
They walked hand in hand towards the elevator. Although they knew that as guardians of Silver Moon Apartments, their responsibilities never ceased. But at this moment, they just wanted to cherish this rare happy time and enjoy the sweetness of being newlyweds.
Because they understood that it was these precious moments that gave them the strength and courage to continue guarding the multiverse. Whatever challenges awaited them in the future, as long as they were hand in hand, there was nothing they couldn't overcome.
