That there were many ways of ensuring peace Tieria knew full well. That some of them involved his getting married to Ribbons, however, was not something he had ever anticipated. Unfortunately, it was so. Tieria had agreed to a tactical and political alliance that required only his signature as far as ceremonies went.

So he was more than a little annoyed now that he stood in front of a full length mirror. The ruffles of his wedding dress cascaded down his legs and made it difficult to turn around and check out the shiny white bow that sprouted from his lower back and covered his ass. Tieria hated it with a passion and he could not understand why Ribbons had insisted on making him wear this preposterous attire unless it was deliberately to ruffle his feathers. If that was it then it was clearly working.

Tieria turned around again and nearly tripped on his absurdly high heels. Was he really expected to walk down a long aisle when he could not even properly stand in them, it was utterly idiotic. Tieria glared at his image in the mirror. He hated everything about this dress, from the tight feathery corset to the fringes of the ridiculous long tail that dragged on the floor. As if he needed more things to hinder his mobility. He clenched his hands, the elbow high gloves creasing slightly.

"My, that is the most forlorn bride I have ever seen."

Tieria tried to spin around, failed as his heels gave way and he ended up landing in Ribbon's arms.

"Let go of me!"

Ribbons patted fluffy purple hair through the transparent veil.

"Is that any way of treating your groom?"

Tieria pushed himself off Ribbons and tried to kill him with a glare.

"Why am I the bride? This outfit is too uncomfortable. Why do I have to wear it?"

Ribbons smiled. Tieria's anger was a bonus in this whole affair.

"Because you're so pretty and you look so…tasty in it."

Tieria blushed out of sheer rage.

"Shut up. You know this is a political marriage and nothing more."

"Oh? Does that mean we won't have a great wedding night? I am looking forward to making the bed creak."

Tieria slapped Ribbons across the face, hard enough to make it resound. Unfortunately for Tieria it did nothing to wipe out the Ribbons' smile. Tieria wanted to scream.

"You're a feisty one, Tieria. That's one of the reasons why I like you so much."

Tieria opened his mouth to protest but before he could utter a word Ribbons had closed in the space between them and kissed him, suddenly and without a warning. Tieria tried to pull away but Ribbons held him in place, his tongue darting inside Tieria's mouth as he tasted him.
Tieria was breathless and boiling with rage by the time Ribbons allowed him to emerge from the kiss. He could feel himself blush ever deeper and getting hot.

"How- how dare you!"

Ribbons tilted Tieria's chin and looked into deeply red eyes.

"We are engaged to be married, I can kiss my bride if I feel like it. And I feel like it."

Ribbons kissed him again, slowly this time around. Tieria tried to pull away once again, he felt slightly dizzy and unsure of what to do about it, but Ribbons niftily stepped forward and took advantage of his disorientation to corner him into falling back into a sofa.
There was a whoosh of satin as Tieria's layered skirts pooled around him.

"It's a political union! There's no need for this!"

Ribbons leaned and nipped at Tieria's collar bone, pinning his wrists high above his head and settling on top of him so that he could not kick. Tieria squirmed and cursed inwardly. He was beyond angry by now, not just at Ribbons but at himself. His lacy panties- hand picked by Ribbons, not surprisingly- felt all too tight as Ribbons shifted his weight so as to grind against him.

"Would it be really bad if I left a mark?"

Ribbons sucked at the hollow of his neck. Tieria's smooth skin felt much warmer than usual and it made Ribbons very happy.

"Get off me already!"

Ribbons smiled widely and parted the folds of the skirts to reveal a milky portion of tight, white garters and matching panties. He traced a finger along the budding bulge in the sleek fabric, causing Tieria to squirm some more.

"And what is this? For all your complaining, it seems you're enjoying yourself.
