Axel looked down at the battered ring in his hand, it had been his fathers wedding ring but he wanted to give it to Brent as engagement ring, but he thought that the other maybe like something more new and with a stone or two in it.
Brent was delaying the matter unknowingly. They did talk about one day joining in a marital union, because it felt right and he wanted Axel to know just how special he was. But this was one of the few moments he was nervous, and extremely so. Would it change anything? What if Axel gets bored after, having nothing to look forward to?
And worst of all- what if something happens and they were torn apart again? These thoughts were making him anxious, even knowing how irrational they all were.
Axel seemed to have something in his hand, and having seen it glint, his mind already made conclusions as to what it was. So, if Brent’s not proposing, Axel was and he found it hard to wipe off the grin on his face. How was he going to do it?
Axel looked up and saw him ginning he rolled the ring in his hand before going down on one knee in front of him and taking Brent’s left hand lightly. “I am glad I found you…and…I want nothing more than to be with you forever…or at least as long as I can have you this time..” HE said with a small smile as he looked up into Brent’s eyes and showed him the ring. “Brent….Will you marry me, I know the ring is not much…I can get a different one if you want..” He rambled.
