Summary: Well, this fic is inspired of Sernando matching rings. There is a story behind it. With a very jealous Fernando, but patient Sergio Ramos to make things right for his Nando.
A/N: This is my first time writing a One-Shot fanfic of anyone. Also my first try on Sernando fanfic. And this is my first post in LJ. Usually I post mine fanfic on Tumblr and Fanfiction.net. :) Last but not least, just want to apologize in advance if my English is not that good. Comments and Critics is so appreciated. ;)
Sergio could not believe the message that he receives from Fernando. He is absolutely understood that Fernando would not be able to attend his book launching on Monday - Chelsea FC needs to travel to Japan for their World Club Cup tournament. But he definitely does not understand Fernando understatement of his friendship with Mesut in his a few minutes ago. This is just plain childish. ‘I won’t entertain this. I have better stuff to work on from wasting my time with Nando meaningless jealousy.’
A few minutes later, Sergio hand phone vibrates again, indicating another message receives for him. And he knows, even before he check it, that the message is from Fernando. Iker Casillas happens to be with Sergio that afternoon, in his rented house. He always hangs out with Sergio and Alvaro, whenever Sara needs to travel out of town. Well, sometime their German team mates - Sami Khedira and Mesut Ozil, will join them, but not today, because usually on the match day, the two men always did something together on their private time. And Sergio have given up trying to investigate more of their alone time.
Alvaro had gone to refill their drinks so Iker had asked Sergio on his repeatedly vibrating hand phone, “Aren’t you gonna read your phone message?” Silenced “It could be from Nando,” he asked out of curiosity. He is busy reading Sergio’s autobiography book that will be launched on the coming Monday.
“I know it is from him,” Sergio said in-between his gritted teeth. Iker never missed a thing, glancing at the Andalucian who is frowning while checking through his day-planner book, converting his captain mode, “You want to talk.”
That is not a question for Sergio to reply or not. It is more like an order for him to comply no matter what the situation is. Looking up from his day-planner, Sergio feeling more angrier by a second when it dawn to him for all the unfairness that he had been mistreated to. He have always love Fernando for all this years and accept the facts that Fernando had choose to marry Olalla to start a normal life. It has always been him to support the older man in his darker spells in both the 2 English clubs that literally had been wasting Fernando’s talent of a world class striker. He even needs to cast aside his heartbreak when seeing Fernando getting married and having 2 beautiful children. Seeing Fernando and Olalla, celebrating with their 2 adorable children after winning the Euro 2012, it has been so hard for him to take in. But does Fernando knows and care for his feeling?
Absolutely no, of course. He needs to suppress his own misery. Of course, it is not his place to be angry with Olalla and her happiness with Fernando. He would do anything to be where Olalla is right now. But he will speak his mind when it comes between Fernando and the hobbit, Juan Mata. How dare he always stay close with his baby?
Fernando had adamantly placate that there is nothing special between them, giving in to all Sergio assurance that he is always faithful to him only, beside Olalla. Sergio willingly letting go his hatred for Juan Mata and believe Fernando. But now, why can’t Fernando just believe him when he had on numerous occasions telling him there is nothing between Mesut and him. Why can’t he be more reasonable that, just like Juan Mata, both Mesut and Sergio, are team mates and will always be there for each other as friends.
Sergio had been willing to set a dinner dates for the three of them. Fernando had agrees with the suggestion. During that dinner, Fernando never fails for a mere minute to show to Mesut to stay clear from his man. And Sergio thought that all the times that he is the dominant one in their relationship. Fernando had been glued on his side all through the night. Sergio could read from Mesut body language that he was truly so uncomfortable of the situation. After the dinner, all Fernando could points out that, “He is just like you and I,” and left the flustered Sergio with a kiss, before leaving to catch his plane back to Chelsea.
“So after the dinner, he just said that?” Iker asked as Sergio had finished explaining his problem with his “Prima Donna” partner. At this time, Alvaro had joined them and had heard the same stories when Sergio had confide in him during their drinking session. But yesterday, Alvaro had just listen to his problem without commenting anything, even though it has occurred something that he wanting to ask since last night, “Maybe he is right you know.”
Both Iker and Sergio looks at him, like they just realised he was there for the first time. “What...?” asked Sergio curious to know what makes Alvaro supporting his partner side of story instead of his. Beside Iker, Xabi, Pepe and Juan-the-hobbit, knowing of the truth of Sernando, Alvaro had been the latest entourage, although Fernando is not too happy of it. Well, he does not know Alvaro that much but the funny thing is, Fernando smell no threat on Alvaro. Clearly, Alvaro is much cuter than Mesut and he is literally his neighbour who always with him come shine or rain.
“That the case of Samisut may be true just like the case of Sernando,” stated Alvaro as he takes a swipe of his beer. Nodding his head, Iker got to agree with the young Spaniard, “He’s right you know. And I betcha Fernando could smell it which is definitely explains his over jealous of your closeness with Mes.”
Sergio scratches his non-itchy head, in flustered of not knowing what to do next, “I’ve done everything to assure him that he have nothing to worry about Mesut and me. Tell me how can I save our relationship that I’ve cherish so damn much!”
Silence
“By the way, how can he smell it when I can’t?” asked Sergio curiously.
“You are the gay one, how should we know of it,” answered Iker non chalant,” Just gave him a surprise visit before he fly to Japan tomorrow.”
“And do what?” Sergio pout as he grab his phone to read Fernando message,” beside Hobbit Mata gonna be there, you know.”
“What did he send you? The message,” Iker asked trying hard not to laugh to Sergio’s crude naming of his Spain national team mates. Alvaro had long laughing his ass off.
- [I wish I could be there at your book launching. Just to show Nemo of how supportive I am to my Sese.]-
Sergio read loudly Fernando message.
“Alvaro, do you really think that there is something between Sami and Mesut?” asked Sergio still curious of the possibilities of Samisut being true, and if Alvaro is right about it, Fernando been the ‘feminine’ one in their relationship, will of course smell threat on Mesut, which he had been blindly attract to, not that he is attracted to Mesut in personal term. It has been Fernando all this time and they have been together for 10 years now.
“I can help asking for you, amigo,” volunteer Alvaro, “but I thought the 2 of them will be coming to your launching this Monday.”
Iker take off his hand phone and send a quick message to the man in question:
‘Sami, you and Mesut better be there on Sergio’s book launching on Monday, aite?’
Again it is not a question; it is more like an order from Captain Iker Casilla.
“Forget it. Let’s just wait for Sami to reply my message. And we go from there,” said Iker, again taking his phone off his to read Sami replies:
‘Of course, we won’t miss it.’
Iker thumbs up. Turning to Sergio who is busy scrolling his photo albums of Sernando, “What is your plan, Serg?”
“Like you said, surprise him with lots of fun and kisses,” Sergio had response Fernando message with a short message of ‘I love you”.
“Although I might have to disturb his time with Chelsea in Japan,” Sergio continues before getting up to prepare breakfast for his 2 brothers.
“You are going there when? Tonight or after your book launching?” asked Iker concern.
“I want him to focus on his game tomorrow, against Monterrey, so this had to be done tonight.” Sergio said firmly as he heads to his small kitchen.

Over 10 years they have been together and still going strong, despite Fernando been married with 2 children and playing in a different league from him. When Fernando still played in the Spanish La Liga, they had played in the same city but different club - Fernando played for Athletico Madrid and, Sergio had played for the mighty giant Spanish club, Real Madrid. Both clubs had been a rival clubs, but not them, they have been secret lovers.
The first time he saw Fernando was his first match against Madrid rival city. As usual, he will always stand behind Iker Casillas who they have become fast friends and the only player that he can relate to. When the opponent team had walks down through the catacomb and stand beside them, his ‘sense’ or he rather calls it ‘gay radar’, had somehow makes him alert of his own kind lurking in the air. Well, he has always known of his sexual orientation, but at that time, Iker have yet to know it. And Sergio only knows that, other than him, there is another player, playing the same team, who was just like him. It is none other than the blonde heartbreaker - Guti. But Sergio and Guti will not be together, as both of them is the ‘Dominant’ type, just like a wolf pack, you can’t have 2 ‘Alpha’ under the same pack.
Sergio tries to ignore his ‘gay radar’, as he knows Guti will be just standing behind him, as always. But then, when he heard Guti whispering sort-of endearment that really sound like a threat according to Sergio point-of-view, he turns the other side to where Guti was standing, with his back facing the opponent, “Who do you want to scream your filthy name out loud, cabrón?”
“Shut the fuck up, gitana!!” loud enough to attract the attention of both teams.
“Hey no fighting!!” warned the referee who was doing their inspection on all the players. Higuain had pulls Guti to stand behind him and Sergio had been nudge to look away by their captain Iker. Sergio heard a faint voice thanking him on his right side. Both Sergio and Iker turn to look at the player. Iker just smiled before looking ahead to wait for their cue to walk to the pitch. But Sergio could not look away and even blurt a single response. For him had looked at one of the most beautiful creature that he ever laid his eyes on.
A tall player with a terrible crew-cut hairstyle, he is slightly taller than him but what’s makes him breathless until now is his shy smile, which goes along with his big brown eyes and his face is pack with lots of freckles that really the most perfect combination for him. The freckle guy still looking at him with his cheek started to blush for Sergio had been staring, open mouth. And Sergio could hear that his ‘gay radar’ had been running amok when his eyes connect to the freckle boy.
He knows that the freckle boy is definitely not dominant like cabrón Guti. He is the opposite of being dominant - submissive, or the ‘feminine’ type. Without wasting another minutes, unashamed of his behaviour, and totally ignoring Higuain warning to stay clear from the ‘enemy’, enemy or not, Sergio offer his hand to freckle boy, “I’m Sergio and I think I am in love with you. Please be mine.”
He heard a snort, and his best guess that it was from Guti. The freckle boy accepted Sergio offered hand but still keeps on smiling without replying his question. Sergio did not pull away his hand on, seeing freckle boy too not doing the same as they walk off to the pitch.
“Fernando. And I would love too if your team can win against mine.” With that been said, he pull away his hand and gave Sergio his own render of a dare that Sergio had no desire to back off. When he stands next to Iker, he asked, “Did we always win against this team?”
As a response to his nonsensical question, Iker swat his head with his hand glove, walking away from him to take position in front of the referee. Guti comes to him next to warn him to stay clear from his ‘toy’. Sergio gave him a middle finger before taking position at the back. His eyes never left Fernando who will start the match with his first kick on the ball. When the game was on the way, Sergio keeps on seeing Guti always goes to tackle the ball from Fernando, ‘Isn’t that my job to do that?’
There were numerous occasions that Guti had brought Fernando down and when that had happens, he deliberately touching Fernando at all unnecessary place. Fernando had looks at Sergio as if asking to be safe from the vulture Guti. Sergio, who had been suppressing his anger all this while, had enough of Guti antic. He had gathered all his inner focus on the game.
The game was under 10 minutes before half time. And Real Madrid had a corner. Sergio runs up to the opponent flank, he feels Fernando presence standing behind him. Deliberately he turns to Fernando, winking at him that made the freckle blush furiously, and when the ball flying towards his direction, Sergio goes for the score and jump as he might to head the ball into the net.
Goal!!!
He stood at the spot; blowing kisses to Fernando before joining in celebration dance with the rest of his team mates include Guti too. “He will be my forever, cabrón!” he warned Guti before heading off to his position. For the rest of the game, it had gone well. Fernando had tried to score goal but it was either he missed the shot or had been cleverly block by none other than Sergio. Whenever Guti tries to tackle Fernando, Sergio will run as fast as he can to get to Fernando first. Even it meant he got a yellow card for hard tackle on Fernando and stumbling with Guti.
From across the field, his best friend Iker Casillas had shakes his head in disbelieve of Sergio strange behaviour. Lucky for them, David Beckham had netted another goal to win the game. Sergio had never been this happy. The first thing he did was run to Fernando and pulls the man in for a hug, “I won and as promise you are mine.” And he kisses both of Fernando cheeks.
“Meet me at Cafe De La Cruz in one hour from now.”
That was the beginning of their relationship. They never have been apart. They had always together during the national team meet up for Spain. Before Fernando decides to play for Liverpool, they still together and even he was married to Olalla and have kids later.
Of course there had been numerous hiccups in their relationship. Everything is because of being jealous. Juan Mata for Sergio, even though during the national team meet-up, they are team mates and to Sergio annoyance, Juan Mata will tag along with Fernando and him. There is numerous times he had been bold enough to ask Juan Mata to leave them alone. But Iker had advice him to just let Juan in, as he will be useful if whenever there is problem between Fernando and Sergio. But Sergio knows better. He will never ask help from Juan no matter what and he just knows that Juan prefer to be on Fernando side if they ever fight.
Just like now, he is definitely not asking any help from the hobbit, even though the man had inform him of Fernando’s whereabouts. Sergio simply has his ego to keep intact with.
Sergio is currently on his way to Fernando house that he shares with Olalla and their kids. Olalla never suspect of their secret liaison and, both of them have been expert enough to give anything away. If there is a threat from other people, well they have Sergio to answer for. Fernando always feels safe with him and Sergio has no intention to let people hurt his lover.
Waiting for Fernando, or Olalla to open the gates of their house, Sergio had mentally prepared of his speech to his Nando. After waiting for 15 minutes now, the gate opens to Fernando walking towards his car. He points out to the direction of the car booth. And Sergio just complies. Then Fernando gets in the passenger side of the car. And Sergio drives away to the direction of the nearest exit to the highway.
“Where are we going exactly?” asked the confuse Sergio. He has informed Fernando of his arrival after all; due to time constraint his original plan to surprise him needs to cancel. “I need to join the rest of them at the airport. Our plane will depart for Japan at 11:30pm.”
Now the clock shows 10pm exactly. So Sergio has 1 hour and a half to give out his speech, maybe a few of other things sweet after that. Keeping his eyes on the road, he continues, “So what did you tell Olalla? Surely she will be puzzle that I was not been invited in.”
“Can you stop with all this questioning!?” snap Fernando furiously. Sergio narrowed his eyes as he swivel the car to the side of road, which narrowly missed hitting the passing car on the road and stop the car at the curb. From the corner of his eyes, he could see that Fernando seems to regret of his outburst as he cowered at the corner of his seat.
Sergio quickly presses the button of car lock for all the doors. Unfasten his car belt; Sergio turns to face Fernando, with a face so angry that usually he reserves it for his opponent on the field. Fernando looks down on his lap, avoiding Sergio angry eyes.
“What’s going on Nando?” Sergio asked as calm as he could, which surprised Fernando that he looks up with tears at the brink of his brownish eyes. “Do you not believe me after 10 years together that I’ve always love you and no one else that can replace you, Nando?” Sergio refuses to stop even though he saw the tears on Fernando eyes started to pour down his flushed cheeks. He needs to say what he got to say from his heart. If he stop now, just because Fernando crying, this matter will not settled and they keeps on having petty argument over trivial things such as jealousy.
“Well, I have the right to feel jealous if...if...” cried Fernando with full blown tears now. He unfastens his seat belt, scrambling into Sergio open arm and, unashamedly, continues to cry on Sergio chest, soaking the other man T-shirt. Sergio tightens his hold on Fernando deeper in his arm. Kissing the top of the distraught man head, as he shushing him and rocking their body together with only Fernando’s cries could be heard over the silence in the car.
“Nando, look at our rings. Look at it,” Sergio soothes his lover to look at their joint hand. Fernando, still in tears looks down at their joint hand, at their fourth fingers of their right hand, a matching diamond crested rings. Their wedding rings stood gleaming after 10 years of marriage. Yes, they have been married for the last 10 years, the same night when both of them meet-up at the cafe De La Cruz. At the whim, both of them somehow realise that they are meant to be together, decided to plunge into matrimony vow.
Iker Casillas have been their best man.
Lifting his husband chin up to meet his eyes, wiping his tears, “You are my husband forever more, Nando,” Sergio said as he first kisses his favourite freckle on Fernando face, the one that on his right cheekbone. Seeing there is no protest from his dear husband, he moving south to his lip. He kisses once, then twice, coercing Fernando to open up for him but instead Fernando turns his face away from Sergio lips. He pushes Sergio apart from him for just a mere distance.
“I’m so sorry for behaving this way. But you need to know I have the right to feel this way when it is my husband that he tries to seduce,” Fernando eyes blazing with jealousy but when he looks at Sergio, those eyes soften, “And I know that you love me as much as I love you, but I’m just-“
“Jealous” Sergio said but did not continue as Fernando glared at him.
“We are living distances away from each other. Even though I trusted you but I just can’t trust myself to trust you when you are looking fucking hot as you’re age,” Sergio smiled at Fernando describing how hot as he aged, “You tell me what I should do so that I would not feel so jealous of Nemo?”
Sergio just watches his husband tear-stain face. He is totally lost of words. It seems there is nothing to stop Fernando with his insecurities. Even telling him that Mesut is with someone else might not be helpful in this case. There is no stopping and end to Fernando jealousy. Sergio just needs to live with it. Well, this is the compromise and sacrifice that he is willing to face with, as long he knows there is always Fernando in his life.
“Nando, it is up to you to be jealous of Mesut or anyone else that you deem fit to be jealous of. But to me, this ring had shown that my heart only belongs to you only. My heart, my breath, my air, my soul, my love & my world...is everything yours to take,” Sergio ends it with a kiss compare to nothing else.
Only then, Fernando leans forward to return Sergio kiss with full of passion. What Sergio said might be true, there is no telling of how far his jealous will be, but no matter what, with Sergio always have faith in him, that will be enough for him.

He heard a snort, and his best guess that it was from Guti. The freckle boy accepted Sergio offered hand but still keeps on smiling without replying his question. Sergio did not pull away his hand on, seeing freckle boy too not doing the same as they walk off to the pitch.
“Fernando. And I would love too if your team can win against mine.” With that been said, he pull away his hand and gave Sergio his own render of a dare that Sergio had no desire to back off. When he stands next to Iker, he asked, “Did we always win against this team?”
As a response to his nonsensical question, Iker swat his head with his hand glove, walking away from him to take position in front of the referee. Guti comes to him next to warn him to stay clear from his ‘toy’. Sergio gave him a middle finger before taking position at the back. His eyes never left Fernando who will start the match with his first kick on the ball. When the game was on the way, Sergio keeps on seeing Guti always goes to tackle the ball from Fernando, ‘Isn’t that my job to do that?’
There were numerous occasions that Guti had brought Fernando down and when that had happens, he deliberately touching Fernando at all unnecessary place. Fernando had looks at Sergio as if asking to be safe from the vulture Guti. Sergio, who had been suppressing his anger all this while, had enough of Guti antic. He had gathered all his inner focus on the game.
The game was under 10 minutes before half time. And Real Madrid had a corner. Sergio runs up to the opponent flank, he feels Fernando presence standing behind him. Deliberately he turns to Fernando, winking at him that made the freckle blush furiously, and when the ball flying towards his direction, Sergio goes for the score and jump as he might to head the ball into the net.
Goal!!!
He stood at the spot; blowing kisses to Fernando before joining in celebration dance with the rest of his team mates include Guti too. “He will be my forever, cabrón!” he warned Guti before heading off to his position. For the rest of the game, it had gone well. Fernando had tried to score goal but it was either he missed the shot or had been cleverly block by none other than Sergio. Whenever Guti tries to tackle Fernando, Sergio will run as fast as he can to get to Fernando first. Even it meant he got a yellow card for hard tackle on Fernando and stumbling with Guti.
From across the field, his best friend Iker Casillas had shakes his head in disbelieve of Sergio strange behaviour. Lucky for them, David Beckham had netted another goal to win the game. Sergio had never been this happy. The first thing he did was run to Fernando and pulls the man in for a hug, “I won and as promise you are mine.” And he kisses both of Fernando cheeks.
“Meet me at Cafe De La Cruz in one hour from now.”
That was the beginning of their relationship. They never have been apart. They had always together during the national team meet up for Spain. Before Fernando decides to play for Liverpool, they still together and even he was married to Olalla and have kids later.
Of course there had been numerous hiccups in their relationship. Everything is because of being jealous. Juan Mata for Sergio, even though during the national team meet-up, they are team mates and to Sergio annoyance, Juan Mata will tag along with Fernando and him. There is numerous times he had been bold enough to ask Juan Mata to leave them alone. But Iker had advice him to just let Juan in, as he will be useful if whenever there is problem between Fernando and Sergio. But Sergio knows better. He will never ask help from Juan no matter what and he just knows that Juan prefer to be on Fernando side if they ever fight.
Just like now, he is definitely not asking any help from the hobbit, even though the man had inform him of Fernando’s whereabouts. Sergio simply has his ego to keep intact with.
Sergio is currently on his way to Fernando house that he shares with Olalla and their kids. Olalla never suspect of their secret liaison and, both of them have been expert enough to give anything away. If there is a threat from other people, well they have Sergio to answer for. Fernando always feels safe with him and Sergio has no intention to let people hurt his lover.
Waiting for Fernando, or Olalla to open the gates of their house, Sergio had mentally prepared of his speech to his Nando. After waiting for 15 minutes now, the gate opens to Fernando walking towards his car. He points out to the direction of the car booth. And Sergio just complies. Then Fernando gets in the passenger side of the car. And Sergio drives away to the direction of the nearest exit to the highway.
“Where are we going exactly?” asked the confuse Sergio. He has informed Fernando of his arrival after all; due to time constraint his original plan to surprise him needs to cancel. “I need to join the rest of them at the airport. Our plane will depart for Japan at 11:30pm.”
Now the clock shows 10pm exactly. So Sergio has 1 hour and a half to give out his speech, maybe a few of other things sweet after that. Keeping his eyes on the road, he continues, “So what did you tell Olalla? Surely she will be puzzle that I was not been invited in.”
“Can you stop with all this questioning!?” snap Fernando furiously. Sergio narrowed his eyes as he swivel the car to the side of road, which narrowly missed hitting the passing car on the road and stop the car at the curb. From the corner of his eyes, he could see that Fernando seems to regret of his outburst as he cowered at the corner of his seat.
Sergio quickly presses the button of car lock for all the doors. Unfasten his car belt; Sergio turns to face Fernando, with a face so angry that usually he reserves it for his opponent on the field. Fernando looks down on his lap, avoiding Sergio angry eyes.
“What’s going on Nando?” Sergio asked as calm as he could, which surprised Fernando that he looks up with tears at the brink of his brownish eyes. “Do you not believe me after 10 years together that I’ve always love you and no one else that can replace you, Nando?” Sergio refuses to stop even though he saw the tears on Fernando eyes started to pour down his flushed cheeks. He needs to say what he got to say from his heart. If he stop now, just because Fernando crying, this matter will not settled and they keeps on having petty argument over trivial things such as jealousy.
“Well, I have the right to feel jealous if...if...” cried Fernando with full blown tears now. He unfastens his seat belt, scrambling into Sergio open arm and, unashamedly, continues to cry on Sergio chest, soaking the other man T-shirt. Sergio tightens his hold on Fernando deeper in his arm. Kissing the top of the distraught man head, as he shushing him and rocking their body together with only Fernando’s cries could be heard over the silence in the car.
“Nando, look at our rings. Look at it,” Sergio soothes his lover to look at their joint hand. Fernando, still in tears looks down at their joint hand, at their fourth fingers of their right hand, a matching diamond crested rings. Their wedding rings stood gleaming after 10 years of marriage. Yes, they have been married for the last 10 years, the same night when both of them meet-up at the cafe De La Cruz. At the whim, both of them somehow realise that they are meant to be together, decided to plunge into matrimony vow.
Iker Casillas have been their best man.
Lifting his husband chin up to meet his eyes, wiping his tears, “You are my husband forever more, Nando,” Sergio said as he first kisses his favourite freckle on Fernando face, the one that on his right cheekbone. Seeing there is no protest from his dear husband, he moving south to his lip. He kisses once, then twice, coercing Fernando to open up for him but instead Fernando turns his face away from Sergio lips. He pushes Sergio apart from him for just a mere distance.
“I’m so sorry for behaving this way. But you need to know I have the right to feel this way when it is my husband that he tries to seduce,” Fernando eyes blazing with jealousy but when he looks at Sergio, those eyes soften, “And I know that you love me as much as I love you, but I’m just-“
“Jealous” Sergio said but did not continue as Fernando glared at him.
“We are living distances away from each other. Even though I trusted you but I just can’t trust myself to trust you when you are looking fucking hot as you’re age,” Sergio smiled at Fernando describing how hot as he aged, “You tell me what I should do so that I would not feel so jealous of Nemo?”
Sergio just watches his husband tear-stain face. He is totally lost of words. It seems there is nothing to stop Fernando with his insecurities. Even telling him that Mesut is with someone else might not be helpful in this case. There is no stopping and end to Fernando jealousy. Sergio just needs to live with it. Well, this is the compromise and sacrifice that he is willing to face with, as long he knows there is always Fernando in his life.
“Nando, it is up to you to be jealous of Mesut or anyone else that you deem fit to be jealous of. But to me, this ring had shown that my heart only belongs to you only. My heart, my breath, my air, my soul, my love & my world...is everything yours to take,” Sergio ends it with a kiss compare to nothing else.
Only then, Fernando leans forward to return Sergio kiss with full of passion. What Sergio said might be true, there is no telling of how far his jealous will be, but no matter what, with Sergio always have faith in him, that will be enough for him.
