●WARREN●
Well that went downhill fast . We have mortified parents and an angry newlywed about to throw us out . How did Mick find us? Why is he here and what is he spouting off about Florence carrying his baby? We had to hold Greg back and I made sure to keep a firm grip on him. I didn't like how he held onto my sister , so I'll make sure to repay him the same kindness as we all move this "party" outside.
We stayed inbetween the two men as soon as we got to the landing , "What the hell do you think you're here?" I asked Mick.
"Florence told me what you had planned for her Greg. You are not getting rid of that baby!" He yelled .
"What baby?" My Trip asked .
"I'm going to assume she told you about our affair," Mick said staring at Greg.
"Yes, and you were suppose to be my bestfriend!" Greg yells.
"Exactly! You went after the woman I love , knowing full well I had intentions of confessing to her . But no, you swooped in before I had the chance. And then what do you do? CHEAT ON HER like she's some worthless piece of trophy. You don't think I know about you and that woman?" He spits out, "I LOVE Florence , what's your reason?"
My hand naturally tightened into a fist . He's been cheating on my sister? I look at Greg , hoping that he would deny this accusation. I'm afraid that if he doesn't I might actually kill him.
"Florence came crying to me for weeks, months . You didn't want her to know, why? Why not just divorce her? Oh wait, the money has been good to you hasn't it? Being associated with the Wells has helped your career out," he continues with his assualt.
"I don't need to tell you anything. You werent suppose to sleep with my wife," Greg fights back but before he can take another step, Alex punches him square on the nose.
"You stepped out on our sister and use our name for your own benefit? No one wanted you two to get married . It was ALWAYS suppose to be Mick. And then you were going to force her to abort a child they made out of love?!" Alex punches him again.

"You should have been a man about it . Let the two people who belong together , get together," he punches him again. That last line hit me . Alex willingly stepped back because he knew about this . He saw what happened to Florence and didn't want this kind of discord between us.
Greg was already on his hands and knees when I stepped up to him , "We will find out how long this affair has been going on . If it was before you guys got married or right when you guys got married, we will find out . We will lawyer up and destroy you , you and Florence are done . Clearly she made her choice," I say to him in a low voice through gritted teeth , "and don't for once think that you can get away with this."
We called over security for the venue and had Greg escorted out . Once that threat was gone , Aria brought Florence out . She ran over to Mick and they hugged and kissed, "I'm sorry I did this baby, I didn't know what else to do or how to stop him," Mick said holding Florence tightly.
"Flo...." I begin and she looks over to me with apologetic eyes.
She rushed into my arms and we all hugged her , "I'm sorry I got you all involved and that you're disappointed in me."
"The only disappointment we had was you marrying Greg. But we can never be mad at you , you're our sister and now you have the chance to be with the man you always wanted to be with," I soothed .
"Thank you," she said wiping her tears and going right back to Mick. Those two as a couple was always how we imagined . And although it wasn't ideal that she had an affair , they found their way to each other again. As for Greg, it looks like I'll be paying my team overtime to work on two projects.
Aria walked over to me and I held her in my arms, "Is your sister mad?"
She shakes her head, "no, she was more concerned about Florence's safety. Once she saw that she was safe, Delilah ate up the whole drama . She also offered any kind of help that you guys may need."

"She is a peculiar one," I laugh .
"You're telling me, but I wouldn't trade her in for anyone else," she says to me as she looks up .
It was already dark out and the stars were twinkling . I looked at Aria and placed my hand on the side of her neck as I went in for a kiss. I swear, I will never grow tired kissing her . And I plan on kissing her, all sorts of different way until I can't pucker these lips anymore.
When we pulled apart she sighed, "Warren."
"Aria, I know it's only been a short time , but if I don't say this now , then when will it be a good time?" I look into her large eyes , "I am so hopelessly and irrevocably in love with you ," I say and go back in with another scorching kiss . She matched the intensity and if we didn't come up for air , we might be showing the bridal party how to make babies.
"I love you. I always have been, I think I knew it back when we were kids . You marked my heart, " she confesses to me.
And I pulled her in for another embrace . We stood outside for a few minutes longer, appreciating the scenery above us. It was quiet but my heart felt full . I had the woman of my dreams and she loved me back. Now it was time to make sure no one messes with her . Because I will be making her a Wells and I don't want to waste another moment.

●ARIA POV●
After that little fiasco , Warren and I had some alone time outside . Florence explained her side of the story and I felt for her . Being kept away from the actual man she loved because she didn't think there was ever chance, made me sad . Sad that she was so obviously wrong. Mick showed up for her and their baby tonight.
When Warren told me that he loved me, I felt as if everything had aligned perfectly . The stars were dancing and my heart was overflowing with joy . He was everything I didn't know I wanted and everything I could have hoped for. Although Dylan gave my heart a good while, it was nothing compared the intense love I was feeling at this moment.
We kissed again before deciding to go back inside . Delilah and Henry were about to cut the cake and do all those newer traditional things like tossing the bouquet and garter throw . Warren and I walked back in hand in hand. Tonight was definitely a surprise since I initially was suppose to be with Alex and Florence with Greg. Funny how life turns out.
The expected cheering went on as the lovebirds sliced down the middle and fed each other cake, messily . And then a little too erotically for innocent eyes . Henry's friends whistled while we all yelled to get a room . Delilah wiggled her eyebrows at us. Then they cleaned up and had everyone gather for the tosses while the venue cut up the cake to serve to us.
First up , the women . She swung it up once, twice and by the third one turned around and threw it directly at me . I wasn't expecting this , especially since Warren and I literally just started dating . I'm pretty sure exchanging 'I love yous' makes you an official couple. Then it was time for the garter toss. The men all lined up and to my surprise , Warren actually tried his hardest to catch it and he did .
They got the two of us together and I sat on his lap while the photographer captured this moment . As I sat on him , I laughed, "what are the odds?"
"Pretty good, I say," he smiles as he leans over to me and plants a huge kiss. To which made the whole room went wild . I covered my face with the bouquet to hide the bright red I was sporting.
When we finally sat back at our table , the cake was ready and waiting . Everyone else was talking amongst themselves but Warren and I sat there mesmerized with each other . As corny as it was, he fed me from his plate and I fed him from mine.
That was when Marie spoke up , "Yup, you two are definitely next."
"We just started dating," I begin to protest not wanting to scare Warren off.
"But when you know, you know," he said as he kissed me again .

The Simulacrum
"He who fights with harem tropes should see to it that he himself does not become a harem protagonist. And if you gaze for long into a narrative, the narrative gazes also into you." --- Friedrich Nietzsche (probably?) How would you react if one day you woke up inside an environment running on tropes and clichés? For allegedly average high-schooler Leonard Dunning, this question became quite relevant when one day he woke up in a pristine city on a strange island in the middle of the Atlantic, without any memories, surrounded by classmates who are barely more than characterless placeholders, and with a classic indecisive harem protagonist and his impossibly beautiful love interests for friends. That would be hard to deal with already, yet his investigation into the tropes governing the world, trying to avoid harem shenanigans, and his odd blend of outside-context knowledge, unique abilities, and a penchant for causing trouble wherever he goes ends up dragging him into the center of the action anyway. Disclaimer: This is a tongue-in-cheek, slice of life romantic comedy, with occasional sprinkles of combat and mystery to spice things up. Please do not expect a straight up deconstruction beyond some in-universe meta-commentary by the characters.
