Fight We Shall

The wedding took place under the blessings of Romeo's friends and Friar Lawrence.

Romeo was wearing nothing special but a rose in his breast-pocket that Juliet had given him.

Juliet, on the contrary, was decorated with flowers and ornaments over a simple dress. Romeo made the flower crown especially for her and brought few other things to made the day special for both of them.

They both stood infront of each other looking lovingly into each other's eyes.

Wedding vows were spoken and hands were holded.

The wedding was kept a secret and Romeo gave Juliet the wedding kiss, ending the ceremony. There were no rings and no gifts but promises. Promises to be kept.

"Finally, we are a married couple." Romeo said grinning widely while holding Juliet against him.

Juliet looked a little nervous even though the wedding had already took place. Romeo gave a worried smile.

"Aren't you happy, Juliet?" Romeo asked after a moment, being unable to hold the sorrow inside him.

Juliet smiled warmly at him and shook her head.

"I am more than happy, Romeo." Juliet said smiling but stayed quiet afterwards.

"What is it, love? What is bothering you? Have I done something wrong?" Romeo asked again. He hated watching sadness looming over Juliet's beautiful facial features.

"I am sorry Romeo." Juliet said after a moment. "Please forgive me for I am not ready to c-consummate this marriage." Juliet whispered while looking at her feet. She was ashmed of herself for not being able to satisfy her lover's desires.

Romeo saw his lover looking defeated. He decided to go along with Juliet's wishes.

"We don't have to---"

"---That doesn't mean you don't want to." Juliet interrupted Romeo harshly. Romeo flinched for a moment at the tone of the voice. Juliet felt it. "I am sorry." She apologised still not looking anywhere except her feet.

"Look at me, Juliet." Romeo said softly. Juliet didn't made a move so Romeo decided to take control. He cupped Juliet's face and bend his head down looking straight into Juliet's eyes. Her eyes was the door to their love. It was where their love began and it was where their love would prosper.

Juliet's eyes were teary and her cheeks blushed a rosy-red colour. Romeo kissed her forehead.

"I want what you want. I want that momet to be special Juliet and it isn't going to be special until you aren't ready." Romeo spoke softly kissing Juliet's eyes. "I asked you to marry me because I want you to be my wife and I couldn't wait more for it to happen but that doesn't mean I did it to seek your body, Juliet." Romeo's lips moved down her eyes, kissing her tear soaked cheeks. Romeo placed butterfly kisses over every inch of her face.

"I want you Juliet and I want you to understand that I would love you the same even when you would be having grey hairs and wrinkled skin." Romeo spoke while kissing her ears. "I want to be yours forever, Juliet."

Romeo leaned and captured Juliet's lips into a searing and needful kiss. Juliet didn't need any more confirmation. She knew Romeo was the one. The one that god had created for her.

"Will you wait for me?" Juliet asked breaking the kiss.

"I will wait as long as you want me to." Romeo answered- never skipping the beat.

They bid farewell half-heartedly with the promise of meeting again. Juliet was on cloud nine while Romeo was feeling like the luckiest man in the world.

The bubble soon busted when Juliet's cousin found out about the ceremony. He was furious and went in search of Romeo. He found him soon, walking merrily with his friend Mercutio.

Tybalt clenched Romeo's clothes in his fist and questioned him. Tybalt punched Romeo few times but Romeo raised his hands only to defended himself.

"Such a coward you are. You can't even manage to land a punch, Romeo." Tybalt spat.

"I can land your dead body over this very ground but my love for Juliet is stopping me. Flee away before I change my mind." Romeo said cleching his fists.

Tybalt snickered and challenged Romeo for a fight. Romeo didn't agreed.

"I would be pleasured to inform the people of Verona that a Montague showed his back to a Capulet." Tybalt smirked raising an eyebrow.

Romeo began to argue but Mercutio stopped him.

"I will fight you." Mercutio said taking his sword out. "Get ready to kiss the ground, Tybalt."

Romeo argued but Mercutio was dead bent on fighting Tybalt.

Swords clinked against each other and Romeo watched it cautiously. His feets positioned to reach Mercutio to help. He saw the distance between two men closed. They fought like their were doing a foreign yet enchanting dance.

Tybalt's sword fell to the ground after few strikes.

"It is decided then." Mercutio said moving around and looking at Romeo when suddenly a sharp pain cut across his lower abdomen. He fell straight to the ground.

Tybalt looked horrified watching what he had done. He thought that Mercutio would dodge the attack but...

Romeo being enraged picked his sword and began to kill Tybalt but Juliet's promise stopped him.

"If I wouldn't have loved Juliet so much, you would have been long dead Tybalt. Run for your life while you can." Romeo seethed while walking towards Mercutio. A lone tear escaped his eye.

He never imagined he would lose his friend on the day of his wedding. They had decided to have a feast with Bonvolio who went earlier to make the preparations. Romeo's heart grieved at that moment.

"What the hell do you think you are doing?" He barked when he saw Tybalt walking towards Mercutio and holding his wrist. He couldn't believe the man. He tried to kill his friend and now he was touching him. Romeo's eyes rimmed red and his face flushed with anger.

"He isn't dead, yet. His pulse is slow and we need to get him to a healer before it's too late. Come with me." Tybalt ordered while picking Mercutio and wrapping a cloth around Mercutio's wound tightly. Romeo followed instantly.

They reached the healer soon who immediately began to rescue Mercutio's life from incoming death. They were asked to wait outside. The healer was shocked for a moment when he saw a Montague and Capulet coming together but the shock soon changed into confusion when he saw an injured man accompanying them.

The healer began crushing and rubbing herbs while cleaning the deep wound.

Romeo and Tybalt waited impatiently, outside.

"Why did you do that?" Romeo asked waiting outside the room Mercutio had been resting in.

"The same reason you didn't killed me. I love Juliet. She is my sister and I never meant for Mercutio to get hurt. It was an accident but if anything is to happen you can happily kill me." Tybalt answered thruthfully. Tyablt never thought that a Montague could love a woman so deeply especially when the women belongs to a rival family.

"I wouldn't do that, you idiot. I love her too much to go her against her promise and nothing is going to happen to Mercutio. He is strong." Romeo said smiling proudly. It felt strange talking to an enemy but the experience wasn't bad.

"What are you going to do now? How are you and Juliet going to get the families together?" Tybalt inquired looking at Romeo.

Romeo was lost at words until he defeatedly sighed.

"I have no idea, mate." Romeo admitted.

"I can't believe Juliet chose a fool like you." Tybalt joked shaking his head.

"Oi, I love her--"

"--Is it the only line you know. You had been speaking the same words since afternoon." Tybalt sighed at the childish pout of Romeo like a big brother would.

"It is true, though." Romeo smirked. Tybalt scoffed but couldn't resist the smile forming on his face.

The healer came outside after few hours.

"He would live." He said the moment he saw the two males standing infront of him. "He is in pain, though, the cut was pretty deep. There is nothing to worry. I had sewed the cut and he would be good as new in few weeks."

Romeo and Tybalt realxed side by side smiling at each other.

The healer was curious but didn't question Romeo and Tybalt. He was afraid and an old man. He let fear overcome curiousity.

Tybalt stayed the night by Mercutio's side with Romeo.

Fights, how interesting they could result sometimes.
