royal wedding 2018 (part 2)

this revolves around gabby. bc she’s so extra she needs a whole post dedicated to her. also a drabble bc no one mcfrickin understands how much i care about gabby 

gabby

lowkey using the wedding as an excuse to see all her friends. oh, and because she cares about the bride and groom. yay?

leo proposes to her days before the actual wedding / before they need to fly out. it’s probably one of the most romantic things that’s ever happened to her and when he waits for her response? she begins babbling like an idiot before running off

probably spends the whole night freaking out, eyes wide open, internally screaming. decides to hide away in a closet tbh so that leo can take their shared bed. as she’s curled up, she tries to imagine herself married

her parents know about the proposal and decide not to mention it at breakfast the next morning because they see their daughter and leo freaking out 

people who probably know about the proposal tbh: gabby’s parents (leo had to ask for approval), jude (again, had to ask for approval), krishnan (probably. he and leo are best buds. wouldn’t put it past him), probably seb (most likely finds out about it during the plane ride tbh)

gabby decides to take a private plane for herself to norway. texts leo telling him that he and seb can catch a ride with one another. 

gabby either sits next to leo and aira during the wedding or jude and aira during the wedding. if it’s the latter, leo is literally a pew up, lowkey freaking out 

gippy and earuh spent the entire ceremony tapping in morse code discussing the proposal / talking shit / catching up 

gabby and leo are naturally assigned to one another for the reception. they share polite smiles and are slightly on edge around one another, gabby can’t seem to hold eye contact for more than two seconds without breaking, which terrifies leo

no surprise that gabby runs into alex. practically squeals running into her old best pal, throws herself onto him and holds him tight. he probably never expected to see her again tbh. or well, he’s been hiding most of the ceremony from her and didn’t expect to get caught

gabby drags him to the family restroom to talk to him. this is more of a “I HAVE TO TELL YOU SOMETHING” “i don’t care.” “PLEASE THIS IS IMPORTANT.” situation. she locks the bathroom door before confessing that his brother proposed to her a couple days before. alex seems v bored with the conversation. “told you he’d put a ring on it if you kept calling him daddy.” “jfc alex!” 

gabby admits what happened, alex probably gets a kick from it. he probably gives the whole spiel of “i don’t know what you want me to tell you” but stops when she begins crying. “alex i-i really don’t know what to do” alex probably gives her surprisingly decent advice and tells her to clean her face up cause she looks gross. 

somewhere in the conversation the mibby jackets pop up. gabby accidentally catches alex admitting he has it and loses her mcfrickin mind. 

She thanked the future tsar once more before the pair opened the door. Only a couple feet away was his brother, looking quite irritated. He looked back and forth at Gabby and Alex, arms crossed over his chest and eyebrows furrowed. Leo began marching towards them, but Gabby didn’t care. Everything finally felt right, as if she knew what she wanted. She sprinted towards the Russian, a reckless grin on her face. She jumped and threw her arms around his neck, kissing him deeply without any thought in the world. It took everything for Leo not to lose his balance and catch his girlfriend. Gabby wrapped her legs around him and when she finally felt him holding her up, her hands held gently to his face as she continued to kiss him. When she finally pulled away, it came as no surprise to see Leo’s stunned face. “I’d choose you. I’d always choose you” she whispered to him, smiling like a fool. Gabby gently pressed her forehead to his. 

She heard someone coughing and once turning, spotted two security guards uncomfortably standing behind them. The Argentinean quickly got off her boyfriend and smoothed down her dress. Out of the corner of her eye she spotted Leo fixing himself as well. “Princess Lise has asked us to remind you that if she catches this sort of behavior again, we will kick you out.” The pair sheepishly nodded before security walked away. Once they were out of sight, she intertwined her hand with his and led them outside. The wind gently rustled and before she knew it, Leo’s jacket was around her shoulders. “Thank you.” They shared a warm smile before taking a seat together on a nearby bench. 

Perhaps she said all she needed to say earlier, but it didn’t feel like enough. Or at least it didn’t feel like a definitive answer in her mind. She turned to her boyfriend, who already was looking in her direction. She sighed, her hands tracing over his face; his eyes closed letting her touch consume him. Who would’ve expected that the two of them would’ve made it so far in just a year? “Leo?” His eyes opened and he looked at her, waiting patiently. “I’m sorry.” Before he could say anything, she cut him off. “I am. I truly am. I didn’t...” Now it was his turn. As she looked away, he took her chin in his hand and kissed her cheek tenderly. “Sweetheart, I know” he spoke in Russian. It was enough to melt her heart. “I want this. I want us. I really do, Leo.” There wasn’t any other man she had been with that made her happier. He was someone that would fight for her, would fight with her, and help make her a better person. “So this is a late yes. But it’s a yes with all my heart.” She took his left hand, kissing his ring finger. “I meant what I said earlier, Leo. I’d choose you every time because you mean everything to me. I want us to be forever and ending never. That’s the saying, right?” Gabby’s eyes were locked with his, heart beating fast. “So - you and me? Marriage? Fiancees instead of boyfriend and girlfriend?” The Russian only needed to smile to confirm everything to her. He pressed his lips onto hers, pulling her body to his. And in that moment, there was no one else that mattered, only the two of them wrapped in their bliss.
