[one shot]
[requested by @astoryinblack23 . thank you so much for this sweet request!]
You've been Lewis' best friend for years now, and finally it's the day where your best friend will marry, but he is feeling like a nervous wreck.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

If you would hear Lewis say he was getting married a few years ago, you would laugh out loud until you'd start to cry from joy. He never was the person to settle down and live a "happily ever after", but now he was actually getting married.

Today was the day your best friend was going to get married.

You were so happy for him. After all these years, he had finally found his person to settle down with and be genuinely happy with. Him and Rita Ora made each other happy and everyone around them could see it.

When they met back in 2016 they immediately clicked, but were only friends. Though everyone could see a change in his behaviour. Rita changed him for the better, being able to get his thoughts off of racing so the man wouldn't eat himself alive from all of the pressure he received.

They eventually lost contact but after two years they met again at a Versace fashion show and kept in touch, becoming a couple later that year. This was six years ago.

You also liked Rita from the beginning. Of course you were cautious at first, thinking she would just be another heartbreaker, but soon you found out she was different. She was actually interested in him and invested in their relationship.

And here you were, being the "best woman" of the wedding, petting Roscoe who would fulfill the role of ring bearer. You had taught him to be at his best behaviour for this special event and you could only pray for the couple that the chunky dog would do well.

You petted the dog once more before standing up from your seat and walking over to Lewis' room. You knocked twice calling out that it was you. The door unlocked shortly after but no person was at the door. Lewis had opened the door and walked back to the closet, where he continued his pacing around.

You closed the door behind you and looked at the restless man in front of her for a minute before speaking up. "Would you just stop that?"

Lewis stopped in the middle of his tracks. Although he didn't get what you meant with your statement, he fulfilled your wish to your relief.

"Gosh, thank you. If you continue pacing around like that like a nervous wreck you'll get me anxious too." you stated while walking up to him with open arms.

As you embraced him, you felt him letting out a deep breath he had been holding up since he stopped walking. You gently rubbed his back in circles in an attempt to calm him down a bit.

You didn't quite understand where all of the sudden this nervousness came from. For seventeen years he had been racing in the fastest cars of the world and not a single nerve in his body was ever thinking of fear, but now on the day of his wedding, he was scared for life.

He didn't know what was going on in his body. He felt so anxious and he couldn't help or stop it. He loved Rita and he knew she loved him as well. Together they decided that they wanted to marry, there hadn't even been a real proposal. That's how in love they were with each other, they just knew they wanted to grow old together. Yet he was scared of her rejecting him at the altar today.

He needed your hug, he came to realise when you let go of him. You made his mind calm down a little bit, but it was enough to let him think properly again.

"Thank you, y/n." he sighed. He looked into your eyes and you met his brown ones. They were still panicky, but definitely less than a minute ago. You smiled at him knowing that you were able to ease his mind with just your presence. He would be able to do the same to you.

"I'm just so nervous for today and I don't know why." he spoke up, finally revealing what was messing with his mind. You tried to understand his feelings, but you never had the same feeling before, so you couldn't really relate.

You had been best friends for so long, that both of you didn't vividly remember where you met. You knew everything about each other, from full zodiac signs to something simple as your favorite food. At one point you even got in a romantic relationship, but quickly called it quits as you knew you weren't going to work out like this and you found out you were gay. You loved each other, but just as friends and it was the healthiest friendship both of you had ever been in.

"Come on, Lew. Put that shirt you're holding back on instead of the one you are wearing now. The planned outfit was stunning, you said so yourself. You don't need to feel so anxious, it is going to be an amazing day. Though Rita agreed on marrying you with these weird ass braids" you joked. He knew you didn't mean what you said, you were always messing around with each other. You joking on his expressive fashion sense and him joking on you about your sexuality.

You held his jacket out for him to slide on with ease. His whole suit was made by a designer you couldn't even pronounce the name of and you just knew it was way too expensive.

He had insisted on getting you dressed in clothing from the same designer, and though you were never really one for the overly fancy clothes, you knew you weren't going to be able to change his mind, along that this was going to be his and Rita's day and you'd do everything for them.

Lewis simply nodded and unbuttoned the shirt he was wearing for the last five minutes. It was one of the many shirts he had tried on today already, always coming back to the shirt that was meant to go with the suit, but he still switched every time. He slid his arms into the jacket you were still holding up in front of you and you fixed his tie.

You smiled proudly at him. He looked great, he only needed to believe that himself too. "You look beautiful." Your smile never left your face as you walked him out of the room, leading him up to the venue which was a small church in a gorgeous surrounding. The couple had picked everything out perfectly.

Lewis' face finally got a smile on it as well as he walked down the aisle with one of the women he loved most. He finally started relaxing and he was finally completely ready to face this day.

And he knew that after this day, he would also be able to retire from his career with peace in his mind. He knew that he would come home to the woman he wanted to share his life with. They could make music together and love fashion together as both had a deep passion for those things.

He was ready to move on and start a new chapter of his life with Rita and Roscoe. You knew it, you didn't doubt that they would be happy together and you felt some sort of relief by letting go of your friend a little more and letting him get the rest he deserved.
