" jamie could have tied it herself but she wanted a full windsor knot and she gets confused wrapping it around so she snuck into dani's room ā who made jamie cover her eyes so that they could still have a "first look" later ā and got dani to do it. <3"
This is sooo cuteeeeeee write it (ofc when you have the time and motivation š)!!! for the one shot collection
ah time and motivation, the two things i never have! anyways:
dani thought she was alone. she thought she was alone, holed up in the back room of the wedding venue, staring at herself in the huge mirror with nobody else around. her wedding day. her wedding day. the joy that bubbles up in her at the mere thought, one that she never thought she would be granted. her gown falls to the floor, white and crisp and lacy. her eyelids are covered in various shades of sparkle, and her lips are painted soft red. dani can almost imagine jamie's face, million dollar grin, when she sees her for the first time. she can almost see jamie'sā
there's a tapping on the window, rhythmic and steady, behind the heavy viridian drapes. immediately, dani scrambles for cover. her hands begin to shake almost instantly, when she calls out, "who is it?"
"psst," the voice on the other end of the window hisses out. "poppins. s'just me."
dani's nerves are still shot, but a wave of instant relief overcomes her. she'd recognize that voice anywhere. "jamie. what was that?"
"so," jamie says, "are you going to let me in? or are you just gonna make me stand out here... on my own wedding day, that is," jamie asks. dani gapes.
"no!" she immediately refuses. "no, of course not! jamie, you're not supposed to be here. we're supposed to see each other later," dani insists. jamie sighs, and dani can almost see her shrug in her head. the thought fills her with joy.
jamie is quiet for a moment, before making her offer. "what if," jamie says. "what if i cover my eyes? and you come do up this bloody tie for me?"
"a tie?!" dani asks, incredulous. "you came all the way here so i would do your tie?"
"uh, yeah?" jamie answers sheepishly.
"and nobody offered to do it for you? owen, or david, or what?"
"of course they offered," jamie scoffed. "i just didn't want them to do it?"
"and why not?" dani asks. jamie giggles.
"it's our thing. not for them to do," jamie replies, simple. "so... are you going to do it?"
dani contemplates before finally deciding, "oh, well. close your eyes, okay? and cover them."
dani parts the drapes to reveal jamie on the other side of the window. her curly hair is pulled into some sort of updo, and she's missing a blazer, clad in just slacks and a crisp white shirt with a black tie hanging loosely around her neck. her eyes are covered with her palms, so dani knows she isn't peeking.
dani pulls up the window and fumbles a bit, trying to grasp at jamie's tie. with great care, she loops the long end around and then again, then pulls the tail through the final loop. she flips up the thicker side and slips the thinner one through the tag.
"there," dani says, centering the knot in jamie's collar. "better?"
"much," jamie says. "right, well," jamie turns around. "i'll see you in ten, yeah?"
with that, dani watched jamie trail back around. i'm marrying that woman, she thinks.
