winter in greenland

Heath and Murphy's wedding was scheduled for the last weekend in February, right after their patrol ended.The venue was chosen in a small church in Copenhagen. Apart from the families of both parties, only a dozen or so close friends were invited. Naturally, Nina became a little flower girl.Since Dan had nothing to do, he flew over from Greenland ahead of schedule with Nina to help with some wedding chores.

The night before the wedding, Nina was sent to Murphy's house so that she could go directly to the church the next morning.Around 7:[-], Dan set off from the hotel to pick up August from the airport.

The flights from Greenland to Copenhagen were almost all small planes with not many passengers. Dan saw the tall figure behind the crowd at the exit.

August also saw him, and after walking over quickly to exchange a lingering kiss, he squeezed Dan's earlobe with some dissatisfaction: "So cold?"

Dan let out a "huh": "It's raining outside, and the temperature is still dropping. It looks like it will probably snow tomorrow."

August untied his scarf around his neck, clasped his hands: "Let's go."

There is a distance from the airport to the hotel. Just a few hundred meters out of the airport, Auguste adjusted the seat back a little: "I'll squint for a while, call me when we arrive."

Dan could hear the sleepiness in his voice, and after responding, he slowed down the car and turned up the temperature of the air conditioner.

August woke up as soon as they turned on the hotel street. He sat up straight, rubbed his face, and said hoarsely, "Are you coming soon?"

"Well, did you not rest well last night?"

"Well, I haven't slept much. I've been rushing to report, and finally reported it to the headquarters before departure." His voice was rare and listless.

Dan glanced at him, a little distressed: "So you didn't eat dinner?"

"No appetite."

Dan thought for a while: "There is a supermarket next to the hotel, take a shower when you go back, and I'll get you something to eat."

August said "En", and the corners of his lips slowly curved.

With limited hotel facilities, Dan made a cod sandwich with simple ingredients.When August came out wrapped in a bathrobe, he had just warmed up the milk.

"I don't want to drink milk." The man protested against the bathroom door.

Dan turned his head and raised his eyebrows: "Huh?"

August knew that it was too tough, so he simply stepped forward to circle the person, lowered his body slightly, rubbed his chin on Dan's shoulder, and said nothing.

Dan couldn't stand his silent coquettishness the most, so he reluctantly compromised: "Half a cup."

The man still hasn't spoken, but the hands around his waist are tightened.

"Half cup or sofa, you choose."

August finally raised his head, took the glass beside him without looking at it, drank half of it in one go, and with some milk stains on his lips, he lowered his head and kissed Dan.

He gently pressed the back of Dan's head with one hand, and pressed it vaguely on his waist with the other.

Dan couldn't stop laughing when he teased him, and pushed him half away: "Okay, let's eat first."

August hugged him dissatisfied: "If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't have told you."

Dan slipped out of his hand nimbly, squinting at him: "How old are you this year, Major Field?"

August didn't speak. He picked up the sandwich on the table and took a bite. His Adam's apple moved slightly, and he looked at him with naked eyes that were straightforward and passionate.

Dan couldn't help his gaze like this, and a suspicious red crept up on the tips of his ears: "I'm going to take a shower first."

When he came out of the bathroom, August was walking over with his mobile phone: "Your phone rang once just now."

Dan took the phone and looked at it, with a horrible expression on his face: "It's over, I forgot to get the dress."

"Gown?" August wondered.

"I'm going to wear it for the wedding tomorrow." Dan said as he hurriedly put on his clothes: "I made an appointment with the boss to pick it up before 6 o'clock, but I forgot after I sent Nina to Murphy's house. Ouch——"

August supported him and smiled helplessly: "Be careful. Don't worry, we'll go there now. There's still time."

Half an hour later, in a tailor-made clothing store two streets away.

There were two identical black dresses hanging on the rack waiting to be picked up, and the lady at the reception stood up from behind the counter nagging: "Your afternoon is ready, if you come earlier, Mr. He can help you change any parts that need to be fine-tuned in size, but it can’t work now. You should try it first.”

There was nothing wrong with Dan's estimation of the size of the two. August stood in the fitting room, buttoned the last shirt button, and turned his neck a little uncomfortable.He seldom wears such a suit. In the past, if he met an important day, he would have worn a normal suit, so that when he looked at the person in the mirror at this moment, he felt a little restrained.

"August, how are you?" Dan knocked on the door of his fitting room from outside.

"Okay." He hurriedly responded, grabbing the coat next to him.

When his fingers touched the corner of the clothes, he seemed to feel something different. He paused, and his eyes fell on the right shoulder of the coat near the neckline.

As if not sure, he touched the piece of fabric with his hand again, his eyes darkened.

When both of them stood in front of the lady at the reception, she gave a satisfied "tsk", walked around the two of them, and pushed the glasses on the bridge of her nose: "Very good, I haven't seen it for a long time You are such a spirited young man who can wear ordinary dresses. There is no big problem with the size. If you confirm it, you can pay the final payment."

It was nearly 10 o'clock in the evening when they returned to the hotel. Dan carefully hung the two dresses in the closet, and turned around to find that August was looking at him with deep eyes.

"What's wrong?" He was a little surprised.

"What's the tattoo on the shoulder? Did you customize it?"

Dan blinked, but before he could speak, August took a step forward, his eyes were a little red: "Is that a shell fossil?"

Dan laughed: "I was discovered by you. I have been thinking about what name to give it before, but after much deliberation, there is no suitable one. Now it just happens to be tattooed on the dress. It is of great significance."

August hugged him tightly in his arms without saying a word.

Dan slightly raised his head and gnawed on his chin: "Is it satisfactory, my lord major?"

August bowed his head to meet his kiss, and his words were full of tenderness: "This is the best gift...I love you..."

The wedding was at 10 a.m., and Dan and August were seated in the second row of the guest seats.

Heath was wearing regular clothes, and Murphy was wearing a snow-white wedding dress. Seeing the two standing in front of the priest, August squinted his eyes and squeezed the hands of the people around him: "I suddenly regretted not holding the ceremony in the church. .”

Dan looked at him with crooked eyebrows: "Why, is your heart moving?"

August said nothing.

In front of the altar, the priest is reciting the final wedding vows: "...accompany her, protect her, respect her, regardless of health or disease, until death separates you?"

Dan slowly raised the hands they held together, kissed the ring of August's ring finger, and said softly: "Major August Field, I am willing."

There was a smile in his green eyes.

August was stunned for a second, then held his hand, put his lips on his ring finger, and dropped a solemn kiss: "Mr. Dan Smithton, I promise with my whole life."
