Bonus chapter of Sonu marrying Titu, prompted by Ann369. Probably going to be a complete nonsensical chapter that might not make much sense but... the idea won't leave my mind so.. Please bear with me!

"Titu!" Sonu whined, making grabby hands at the man who was currently drinking water. "Kya hua? Koi mar gaya hai kya?" Titu asked jokingly, making Sonu pout. He'd been in bed for the past two days from a bout of fever, the doctor's advising him to rest in bed for 5 days if he wanted to attend his own wedding, which was in 10 days.

Yeah, wedding. Sonu and Titu are getting married on the date the when the Titu - Sweety wedding should've been held originally before the whole keeping the wedding 3 months before the auspicious day drama. "Sonu ki kundli diye the hum log us din." Dadi had said.

"Arey idhar aao na! I want my teddy back" Sonu whined again and Titu sighed before settling down next to Sonu, who immediately latched onto him. A feverish Sonu = a whiny, clingy, needy, irritable but adorable brat, who gives the best cuddles and often has the most bizarre ideas, like the one he proposed right now.

"Bhaag kar shaadi karlete hain" Sonu muttered as he tried to find a comfortable position. "What?" "Soch lo kitna maza aayega usme! Haldi ke baad thodi dher free time mil gaya toh hum bhaag kar, thoda ghoom kar, registry mein shaadi karne ke baad waapas aayenge. Family ko thoda pareshaan karenge par... revenge is sweet! Plus unko surprise bhi ho jaayega ki hum..." Sonu trailed off as he saw the bewildered look on Titu's face.

"Sach mein paagal hogaya tum." Titu said at last after a long minute of silence. "Please? It'll be fun... After all those things the family put us through, ullu banadiya humko... this is just a comparatively small prank... help karoge na? Plus I want it to be a small affair, just with the two of us, family ke bina..." he mumbled as he pressed into Titu more.

And Titu knew that Sonu was serious for he was open like this only when a) He was drunk and b) When he wasn't feeling well or c) He is sleepy AF when something was troubling him. And one thing the family hadn't been able to pick up on even after all these years is that Sonu was more sensitive than he let's himself to be.

And Titu had learned that the hard way when he'd witnessed a stone faced Sonu brushing off a bully who'd bad mouthed him and later in the night found himself with an armful of an insecure and bawling Sonu muttering incoherently in his arms. And if that'd been bad...

Titu sighed as he ran a hand through Sonu's hair. This whole Sweety drama had taken a heavier toll than the family had expected. Not that the family knew about it. Yes, they'd apologised to the two of them for all the trouble they'd put them through, especially Sonu and he'd brushed it off. But he'd seen the effect it had on him from the drunken episode that happened and the heartbroken cries he let out before he slept from the emotional overload that happened... And even if Sonu doesn't tell him how much it'd hurt him, it was small instances like these that let it out, and it always broke Titu's heart to see him like this.

Yes, his family had done the deed to get them both together, a deed with good intentions but very poor execution that went to the extreme, and in the process, scar the people it'd been done for. He could still remember the night Sonu had woken up with a nightmare of Titu leaving him and his almost panic before he Titu calmed him down. And a sight of Sonu trembling in his arms, begging him to not leave him ever again was a scene that he could never unsee.

"Kya soch rahe ho?" Sonu asked softly as he sat up with a worried expression on his face. "Kuch nahi... soch raha tha ki kya explanation denge sabko bhaag jaane ke liye..." Titu said, placing a kiss on Sonu's forehead, taking in the way he brightened up.

"You are really looking forward to go on with the plan?" Sonu asked, the excitement barely hidden in his voice. "Haan, kyon nahi? Un logon ne hume ullu banake, tumhe chhot paunchake yeh naatak jo kiya, waapas dena hai na? Thodi pareshaan karna koi buri baath nahi hai." Titu said.

"Par koi mujhe chhot nahi paunchaya us plan mein..." Sonu said, his eyes downcast. "Achcha? Toh phir kyon mere aankhon mei dekhar nahi bataya tune? Why do you sound unsure of yourself while saying that? Tune us din kyon itne sharab peene ke baath gaaliyaan de raha tha mujhe? Why did you cry yourself to sleep?" Titu bombarded his questions, leaving Sonu speechless as he had no answers.

Titu just pulled Sonu closer and said "Dekh, main jaantha hoon ki hum sab milke, jaane anjaane mein tumhe chhot paunchaya, dard diya in that Sweety drama. And I know you are still hurting due to that. Kitne bhi baar sorry bolunga, woh kaafi nahi hogi... yeh baath toh main jaantha hoon. Bas promise karna ki you won't hide whatever you are feeling, at least from me. Dard mein tumhe nahi dekh saktha main." Titu said softly and Sonu looked up at Titu with tears in his eyes and shook his head before burrowing himself into Titu's chest.

"Abhi ke liye tum so jaa, tum theek hone ke baad iske baare mein baath karlenge hum." Titu said definitely as he gently rocked Sonu to sleep. He was his sensitive, stubborn idiot and nothing will change that fact. When he is ready to take upon the world, what does a small prank on the family matter... right?

3 days later

Sonu was officially out of bed rest and Titu was ready to strangle that brat to death. Damn him and his adorable face with the puppy dog eyes. What kind of a plan is that! If it wasn't proven that Sonu was a manipulative bastard before, it was definitely proven now. And he was going to die while executing the plan, but not before killing off Sonu.

The day of the Marriage.

The marriage in itself was a simple ceremony that was to happen inside the house without any grand festivities. It was a unanimous decision taken by everyone after hearing Sonu's pleas about how he wanted it to be a simple affair.

"Haldi kyon?" Titu whispered to Sonu, both of them decked up and ready for the turmeric to be spread on them. "Revenge obvio" he'd said with a shrug, making Titu let out an exasperated sigh before playing along.

One by one everyone and applied the turmeric on their faces and sometimes their arms and they tried their best to stop themselves from squirming on their seats. And then came Sweety's turn. Sonu not so discreetly took some of the paste in his hands and gently slapped some onto her face, justifying his actions with the word "Tit for Tat" and left it at that, leaving the family exasperated and brushing it off as one of his eccentricities.

The moment the two of them were out of sight of anyone, they made their move and ran out of the house without anyone noticing. "Are you sure it is a good plan?" Titu asked as the bike laced through the city. Sonu just gave an enquiring hum as he concentrated on the road.

"I mean... woh... LGBT marriages abhi tak legalise nahi hue aur..." Titu trailed off, doubts resurfacing about going to the registration office. "Isi liye tum ladki ki bhai ka acting kar rahe ho. Do doston ko bula diya maine witness ke liye. Sab theek hoga." Sonu said as he parked the bike next to the office.

They went inside and waited for their turn. The official called them inside and they went in. "Ladki kahaan hai?" was the first question asked. "Ladki ko ladies problem hai toh... uski bhai ko sign dalne ke liye permission diya. Shubh muhurat hai na?" Sonu said lamely and he official just raised an eyebrow at this.

"Gay marriage register karne aaye ho?" he dead panned looking he the two of them. "Be thankful that I've been covering up these kind of cases for a very long time. Dono ka naam kya hai? Koi bhi naam ladki jaise hai kya?" he asked as he took out the required papers. The said two glanced at each other before shrugging and giving each other's names and other necessary details.

The official silently filled up the document, somehow making it look like it wasn't a gay marriage registry and the two were awestruck by the time they were asked to sign the paper. They quickly signed it and took a copy of the document before leaving the place, a 1000 Watt smile plastered on their faces.

They roamed around quite a while, keeping track of the time and before they knew it, it was evening and they were on a rooftop of some building, watching the sunset. "Ghar chalen? Bohot pareshaan kar liya humne sabko" Titu asked.

"Ek minute..." Sonu said as he digged around his pocket for something. The minute he found it, he got down onto his knees and looked up at Titu. "Mujhe kuch expensive nahi hai dene ke liye. Bas yeh... 100 ka ek pendant hai. Par iske saath, main mere saare life tumhare haathon mein detha hoon. I want the two of us to be one. Jaantha hoon ki you'll tell that we're already one... but for formality's sake, Will you take me forever?" he asked.

Titu just face him a once over and pulled him into a kiss, a slow and passionate one, just letting them take in the joy and peace around them.

"Pehnado. Phir ghar chalte hai. Samay bhi ho chuki hai na?" Titu said and Sonu put on the pendant onto him before they went down to head back home.

As expected, the whole family was worried shit about what happened to them etc. when they strolled into the house, hand in hand with the document in Sonu's hand. Everyone surrounded them, coddling them and scolding them before the excited whispers started... After that? Well, I leave it to your imagination.

A/N: So... I went waaaaay away from what I'd planned... but I hope it makes at least a wee bit of sense *looks sheepishly* there might be a lot of inaccuracies and bizarre things in here so I'm sorry for that. This idea was refusing to leave my head.

Song I was listening to while writing this whacky chapter:
