Felix was extremely excited to be helping Cosima and Jemma plan their wedding and it helped that he knew that neither of them would turn into bridezillas on him. He’d worked with so many brides who had ridiculous demands and it was nice to know that he didn’t have to worry about any of that with Cosima and Jemma. Then again, even if they did have some ridiculous demand, he’d probably get it done simply because he cared about them and their special day so much.

Outdoor venues were on their wedding list, so Felix had brought them a list of places he had planned weddings at in the past and was currently showing Cosima one of them, “Before you ask, no, they won’t allow peacocks on the premises.” He paused for a moment, “At least not anymore.” He’d known that he should have tried to talk that bride out of the peacock the second she’d mentioned it, but he hadn’t.

As far as Cosima went, she didn’t have a bridezilla bone in her body. It was somewhat rare for her to even be visibly upset and angry with anyone. She was very laid back, very west coast given she’d grown up in San Francisco. She was always chill and even-keeled, or tried to be anyways. But she was also entirely grateful that Felix was helping plan the wedding. She wouldn’t have anyone else help plan it.

Looking over at Felix, she gave him a bit of a look. “Oh come on, you can’t just say that and then not tell me the story behind it,” she complained. “Though a peacock is kind of cliché, wouldn’t you say? I think I’d rather release butterflies or something if anything.” But that would also need to be run by Jemma.

A smirk crossed Felix’s full lips as he glanced over at Cosima, “The bride’s drunk uncle tried to pet it and wouldn’t leave it alone.” While he knew he should have said no to the peacock, he had to admit that watching it attack that guy had been entertaining, “The peacock bit him. I didn’t know that peacocks attacked when provoked until then.”

That wasn’t quite the story that Cosima expected, but it was so much better. “Oh my god, that sounds amazing. Clearly he shouldn’t have bothered the peacock. But hey, I’m sure it made for quite a memorable part of the wedding?” Cosima laughed. She was a little sad that she hadn’t witnessed such a glorious thing happen in real time, but oh well. At least she knew enough to not try to replicate such a thing in her own wedding.

“No, he shouldn’t have bothered the peacock. My only regret, besides not saying no when the bride insisted on the peacock, was not being able to get it on video.” As the wedding planner, Felix had to be the one to keep things under control. He couldn’t go whipping his phone out to record the mayhem; much to his disappointment. “But even without a peacock, I know your wedding is going to be fantastic.”

“God, that must’ve been terrible to not have had video of it for yourself after it happened. Though you have to tell me, were you the one that had to wrangle the angry peacock or was there a handler there who did that?” Cosima was definitely wanting to know if Felix had to contend with the angry peacock. But then she grinned. “It’ll be fantastic because you’re helping us plan it.” She gave him a friendly nudge with her arm. “It should be awesome though, with the mostly Jewish ceremony and incorporating some Jewish customs into the reception as well. Though, if I said I wanted a robotic dinosaur at the reception, would you tell me no?” She was pulling Felix’s leg with that one. Maybe. Maybe.

“I did get one of the ushers to send me a video that he took, but he was better in bed than he was at taking video,” Felix couldn’t help but smirk a little. After all, he’d be lying if he said that he’d never hooked up with any guys from any of the events he’d planned. “If the robotic dinosaur didn’t pose a threat to any of the guests, you might be able to have it.” Or course he knew that Cosima was joking or at least he thought she was so he had to humor her.

“Felix, you little minx,” she said with a grin. “At least he was better in bed, though.” Cosima was definitely not one to judge hook ups. Even without the dreams and the Delphine and Shay messes, she’d had a few hook-ups of her own in the past. Picking someone up at a bar, like a typical cliché. But she smirked. “Well, we’ll have to see about that, won’t we?” Now that the idea was in her head, she had to wonder if she could ahold of a stationary robotic dinosaur. Though getting Jemma to agree to that would be the trick.

Felix grinned, “Couldn’t help it.” Now a days though, Felix wasn’t hooking up with anyone but Eliot and he was content with that, “By the way, I might be moving in with Eliot and Margo. If I can get out of my lease.” He liked the idea of living with Eliot and it made a lot more sense than living by himself in the apartment he’d shared with Sarah and Kira. It was simply too big for one person and he had no desire to get a roommate there. “You just let me know if you come across a robotic dino that’s guaranteed not to eat the guests.”

Cosima grinned. She liked seeing Felix happy. After the shit they’d been through in the dreams, and the shit she knew was still yet to come, he deserved to be happy. She did, too, even if her waking self wanted to strangle her dream self whenever Delphine came up, but that was just her opinion on the matter. “Seriously? I hope that you can have that happen. I’m totally happy for you, Felix. You deserve it.” At least their lives in Orange County were way simpler than the ones they dreamt of. “Oh I will, don’t you worry.” Cosima took dinosaurs rather seriously, after all. She’d just have to get Jemma to agree to let her have it if she found one.

After Josh had left, Felix hadn’t expected to meet anyone as quickly as he’d met Eliot, but he was extremely happy that he had and didn’t think he could possibly be happier than he currently was, “Thanks, Cos. I just have to find the time to get in touch with my landlord.” He laughed as he wrapped his arm around Cosima’s shoulders and steered her towards another part of the venue, “No matter what, I think this is going to be one wedding to remember for a long time.”
