Saw a post about an AU where Silver was kidnapped in the Ghost Marriage instead of Idia and thought it was a fun idea. Could you write it for fic frenzy? Particularly Lilia kicking down the doors to save his son?
[✐] ficlet frenzy
Slam!
“STOP THE WEDDING!”
A familiar voice bellows through the air, one that causes Silver to perk up, a sliver of hope finally filling his heart. He twists his eyes in the direction of the sound, as far as he can, to catch the figure in the doorway — Lilia, his father, decked out in an elegant suitor’s suit, a dark vest over a collared shirt, a fancy green jacket draped around his shoulders.
The ghost bride startles at him, lips twisting into a frown. “What do you want?” she asks, before her eyes widen with recognition. “That hair… Are you one of the wedding crashers?! Don’t you dare try to ruin my extra-special day!”
Silver stares at his father with pleading eyes. Surely he will get him out of this mess? Silver regrets getting him entangled in this to begin with, but… the prospect of dying and spending his eternal afterlife with this rather obsessive ghost isn’t exactly what he wishes to do.
Silver isn’t sure what he expects. Perhaps he had expected his father to fight back — the ghost bride didn’t seem like she would go down without a fight, after all. But when Lilia’s scowl smooths over into a pout, arms folded as he strides forward, Silver blinks in confusion. “I’m afraid you have forgotten something crucial when it comes to a wedding,” Lilia says in a terse voice.
“And what would that be?”
“Why, asking your suitor’s father for his hand in marriage, of course!”
Dead silence. Silver stares, mouth parting in utter shock. All of a sudden, he can feel many, many eyes landing upon him, stares from the other paralysed students, the ones who’d tried — and failed — to rescue him. This is the way their secret gets revealed?
Then again, he reasons with himself, if it’s to save him…
The ghost bride startles, eyes blown wide. “His hand in marriage?” she echoes. “But… Oh, I had never even considered the thought! Are you implying that you are his father?”
“Why, of course I am!” Lilia scoffs, thoroughly irritated, hands resting on his hips.. “Who else could possibly raise such a diligent and dutiful boy?”
“So that means… Oh, I must ask you for his hand in marriage? Would you possibly consider it, dear future father-in-law?”
So this is how Father chose to deal with the situation, Silver thinks as he watches Lilia get into a drawn out argument with the now-worried ghost bride. Not with violence, but with wedding traditions…
…It is a rather good plan, he decides, a smile slipping onto his face.
