《con bravura acceso - twoset one shots》XXVIII. five early pieces by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky

Brett Yang and Eddy Chen finally got married. Of course, there were hardships before they got married. These are the five problems.
Third Person POV
I. People, especially Asian relatives, always ask them who is going to be the husband and who is going to be the wife.
If Brett and Eddy counted the times they were asked this question, they could basically count their family members and distant relatives combined.
Of course, their parents were aware of their relationship since Brett asked for both their parents' blessing to propose to Eddy. He was left alone to deal with the dreaded question.
"So, Brett, you're about to get married, who will act as the wife among you two?" Mr. Chen asked in Mandarin seriously and Brett was confused.
Brett cleared his throat and respectfully said.
"Uncle, we are both men, so no one will be the wife. We're husbands." Brett said calmly.
"Aiyah, we know that lah, but who is the one who puts the thing in the other person?" Brett's mom said in Mandarin and Brett instantly grew bright red at his mom's vulgarity.
"Mama, I'd rather not say. I don't want to embarrass Eddy." Brett said, scratching the back of his neck.
"Ah, so that means Eddy is receiving." Mrs. Chen said in Mandarin as their parents all laughed together.
"Take care of your lovely 'wife', Bo Yao." Brett's dad said in Mandarin as he patted Brett on the back.
Brett has never been red his entire life.
The time that Eddy had to deal with it alone is when he is with cousins that are both younger and older than him.
Eddy was showing his cousins the engagement ring that Brett gave him.
"So, Eddy, who's gonna be the husband and who's gonna be the wife?" Jenny, one of Eddy's younger cousins who was 15, asked Eddy the question.
Eddy sighs on the inside, forces a smile and calmly said.
"There would be no wife, Jenny. Brett and I will be husbands."
"I know, but who's the giver and who's the receiver?" Jenny asked while looking up at Eddy innocently.
Eddy could feel his cheeks fire up and before he could open his mouth, James, a cousin older than him said:
"Brett's obviously the giver. I mean, have you seen our Eddy here? He's such a power bottom." James chuckled and Eddy knew that his cheeks are getting redder.
"That's true James, but it seems like they equally give and receive." Emily, a cousin that's a year younger than him, roared with laughter.
"So, which one is it, Eddy? Is James or Emily correct?" Jenny asked, still looking at him with innocent eyes.
"I hate you guys." Eddy said as he pouted.
Eddy hated to admit it but that made him more flustered than anything else. Brett was an exception, though. Eddy hated to admit it but James might be right.
They never told each other the story as of the moment, but their Asian family will probably remind one of the other's experience at some point.
II. Eddy's mom accidentally invited an old flame for a family dinner.
Mrs. Chen invited family friends and other relatives on a family dinner to announce Eddy's engagement. Now, Eddy's mom wasn't aware of the fact that Eddy's first love, was the daughter of one of her close friends who she plays mahjong with.
The guests were entering the dining room where Eddy and Brett were to greet the guests. Both were shocked to find Toni Wei, Eddy's first love and old flame. Eddy was genuinely surprised but she and Eddy were in good terms even after the breakup.

"Hey, Toni! How are you?" Eddy asked, leaning in to hug her tight. She hugged back and pulled away, answering his question.
"I'm great! There's this guy that I'm seeing, his name is Matt. Dude, I can't believe you're getting married. Can I guess who?" Toni asked and smiled.
"Yeah, sure." Eddy said chuckling at the weirdness of the situation.
"Let me guess, it's Brett isn't it?" Toni leaned in and whispered to Eddy since the dining room was noisy with everyone talking to each other. Eddy laughed loudly at amusement.
"Actually, yeah. How did you know?" Eddy asked, whispering to her, too.
"Eddy, are you serious? The question is how will I not know. He's been in love with you even before we started dating. I always knew that you two would end up together, one way or another. Even if you were such an oblivious fuck." Toni said honestly.
"I never knew he loved me for that long." Eddy said with both amusement and amazement.
"See? Oblivious fuck." Toni said giggling as she walked to her place for the dining table.
Eddy went to and sat next to Brett. He held his hand and Eddy was shocked to find that the older man pulled away. He was about to ask Brett but Brett already provided an excuse.
"Sorry, Eddy. I'm so nervous, my hands are too clammy and sweaty." Brett said, not looking at him and wiping his hands on his lap.
The rest of the dinner, Eddy could feel as though Brett was worried or sad about something. So, immediately, when all the guests have gone home and the plates have been washed, Eddy hangs out with Brett on his bedroom.
"Brett, lovely? Are you okay? You were kinda weird out there." Eddy said softly as he hugged the older man from behind.
"Yeah, of course. Just anxious about a while ago." Brett said as he tried to get away from Eddy's grip.
Eddy makes Brett turn around and face him.
"If it was about dinner then why are you still going away from me?" Eddy asked softly, stroking the older man's cheek.
"I'm not going away from you." Brett said, avoiding Eddy's eyes.
"Yes, you are. Come on, talk to me about it." Eddy coaxed Brett into saying what he feels.
"You know, you could always call off the engagement if you still want to be with someone else." Brett said softly, still not looking at Eddy.
"Why so sudden, Brett? I don't want to be with anyone else. Do you?" Eddy asked.
"No... It's just, when I saw you with Toni a while ago, I say how good you looked together. The way you were talking and laughing with each other was so special and sweet to look at. What I'm trying to say is, if you still want her, I'll let you..." Brett said sadly but no tears were shed.
"Brett, if I still loved her I wouldn't be engaged to you. Look here." Eddy said as he pointed the ring on his left hand. Brett looked at it and smiled. "This is a reminder that I'm yours and you're mine. I can't wait until I have your last name." Eddy said as he kissed Brett's cheek softly.
Brett smiled and felt secure with his fiancé. Eddy tackled him to his bed where they cuddled while sleeping.

III. Brett's ex wanted him to appear to be cheating on Eddy.
Brett didn't know why but when Vivian heard the news that Brett was getting married to Eddy, he immediately went to Brett's shared apartment with Eddy.
He banged on the door and Eddy opened it.
"How can I help you?" Eddy asked with a sickeningly sweet voice.
"Hi, where's Brett?" Vivian asked venomously.
"It's none of your business." Eddy said, crossing his arms.
Vivian pushes Eddy away from the door and Brett greeted him before he could do anything. Brett signals that he will be fine and that Eddy should stay out of it.
"If you're here to cause a commotion and hurt my fiancé, I won't entertain you but if you want to talk let's do it in our practice room." Brett said calmly as he opened the practice room's door.
Eddy wasn't too worried when Brett was alone with Vivian in the practice room. What worried Eddy is the fact that Vivian came out with messy hair and he licked his lips.
"Wow, you're fiancé tastes amazing!" Vivian exclaimed as he laughed, leaving their shared apartment alone. Eddy was so furious with Brett and immediately stormed in the practice room.
"What the fuck, Brett? We're about to get married and you let your ex blow you? What they fuck is wrong with you? I thought you loved me turns out that you'd replace me for a bl-" Eddy's sentence was cut off when Brett kissed him deeply.
Eddy was about to give in and then remembered the image of his ex and pushed Brett away. Eddy was about to open his mouth to continue his rant but Brett cut him off.
"First off all, he didn't blow me. Second of all, why will I want to be blown by other men when you give the best blowjobs? Third, will you trust me? I have proof." Brett said as he walked away from Eddy to grab the camera from the tripod.
Brett played the footage and Eddy teared up. What Eddy saw was Brett ignoring Vivian's advances on him until he got tired of seducing Brett and just gave up. Eddy carefully set the camera down and kissed Brett tightly.
Brett doesn't need words to understand that Eddy was sorry for accusing him of cheating.
IV. Their parents gave them wedding gifts that are iNtErEsTiNg.
It wasn't uncommon for Asian parents to give their children wedding gifts. It would usually be something inherited or passed down to their parents when they got married.
What Eddy Chen got as a wedding gift is a pair of bracelets. One for him and one for Brett. The colors were green and red. Eddy asked for the meaning of the bracelets.
"You wear the green one and Brett will wear the red one." Eddy's dad told him.
"But why? Is there something wrong if Brett will wear the green one?" Eddy asked, still wanting to know the meaning of the bracelets.
"Yes, lah. You will wear the green since it symbolizes fertility, since you're the one receiving. Make Brett wear the red one because it symbolizes strength and endurance. That way, you and Brett will have amazing sex during your honeymoon." Eddy's mom said and his dad laughed when he noticed that Eddy grew red at the comment.
"Mum, dad , that's too much but thank you." Eddy said, hugging his parents and thanking them.
Eddy wanted to tell them that he and Brett doesn't need bracelets to have good sex. They already do, but it's worth the try.
Sometimes, Asian parents go as far as customizing wedding gifts for their children.
What Brett received from his mama and papa was two custom made silk robes. The embroidery was really intricate and beautiful. Both the robes' pocket had his and Eddy's Chinese name on it. Except Eddy's last name on his robe isn't Chen but Yang. He really didn't understand why, so he decided to ask his parents.
"Mama, the robes are beautiful and all but it seems like it's too pretty to wear. Especially the embroidery is most definitely hand made by you." Brett said, appreciating his mom's hard work.
"Your mama made it beautiful so you and Eddy could use it for your wedding night." Brett's dad said nonchalantly.
"But these are sleeping robes, papa." Brett said, puzzled.
"I know they're sleeping robes, Bo Yao. You're not wearing it to the wedding reception but for you and Eddy to wear while making love. It will make sex better because of how the silk feels. I made it special for your wedding night, lah." Brett's mom said, not filtering her words as Papa Yang laughed to himself.
"Mama, papa, thank you for this. Thank you for everything." Brett said as he hugged both his parents with tears streaming down his cheeks.
Brett was a bit embarrassed to present it to Eddy, but he will. They really don't need anything to have amazing sex, but it's worth the try.
Both men will try it out, anyway. It was their wedding gifts so it shouldn't be wasted.
V. A stranger screaming "I object" accidentally, exactly when the officiator asks if somebody does object.
Finally, they were already here. The main ceremony, halfway through. In half an hour, they will officially be husbands. Eddy will finally share Brett's last name and Brett will finally have Eddy as his amazing husband.
Their officiator was asking the question "Does anybody in this ceremony object with the union of these two men in front of you?"
There was no answer until they heard someone scream "I object!" Brett and Eddy had never been more pissed their entire lives. Brett sighed, trying to control his anger and held Eddy's hand. Eddy was about to snap. They looked at the stranger who objected.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Wrong wedding." The stranger left quietly and you could feel the tension in the room. After a few moments, their guests, their officiator and the couple burst out laughing. When the laughing died down, they continued with the ceremony.
After the entire day, both we're tired and just wanted to sleep on their hotel room. Both were also embarrassed to show the gifts they've received from their parents. They presented the gifts and both men laughed at the weirdness of the situation.
They may have encountered a lot of problems before getting married, but what matters is the fact that they were now Mr. Yang and Mr. Chen-Yang. They will always love each other and of course, have good sex while wearing silk robes and bracelets.
