James looked up from the buttons on his vest as Theodore came up beside him.
“I have something for you.” Theodore said, quietly.
“What’s the occasion?” James asked.
“You.”
“Me?”
Theodore withdrew a small, wooden box from his pocket. He flipped it open, revealing a simple silver ring, with delicate swirling designs etched into its surface. “I know you aren’t much one for jewelry; I thought I might be an exception, for this.”
James’s dark brow drew together in mild confusion, “What is it?” He asked.
“I love you.” Theodore whispered. “And I always will. I want to be by your side, forever.” He paused.
“I love you too, Teddy.” James smiled gently. “You didn’t need to get me anything, for it…”
Theodore shook his head, “It’s not just that. I know you used to say you only wanted to share yourself, when you were married…” He locked his gaze with James’s. “I’m not just giving this to you, so we can make love. This is more than that, so much more. But it is a symbol and… It’s a little unorthodox, but it’s my ring… if you’ll have me.”
James felt his heart melt within his chest, “Teddy…” He breathed. “Oh, Teddy… yes… yes of course.”
A bright smile spread across Theodore’s lips.
James pressed close to him. “You are my one, and only. I love you.” He kissed him tenderly. “So sweet of you to remember what I said… that was years ago.” He shook his head. “I wouldn’t have let it stop me, from loving you. We’re quite unorthodox in ourselves.”
Theodore kissed the end of his nose, “I didn’t want you to feel pressured, or upset because you couldn’t do what you’ve always wanted. I would do anything for you, if you only asked.”
“We rather are like a traditional couple, aren’t we?”
“So… you’ll marry me, then?” Theodore couldn’t keep from grinning.
James laughed, “Yes, of course! Didn’t I already say so?” He let out a short yelp as Theodore took him into his arms and flung him back onto the bed. He tilted his head as their lips met in a passionate kiss.
Theodore continued to grin against his lips, as they broke apart, breath warm against each other. “I can’t hear it enough… Mrs. James Groves.”
James let out a snort, eyes rolling upwards.
“Ah-ah… you can’t back out on me now. It’s part of the package, love. You agree to marry me, you take my name.”
“And what’s to say you don’t take my name, Mrs. Theodore Norrington?” James pretended to pout.
“Because I asked you.”
“I will not be the Mrs’s.”
“You know I tease, love.”
James smiled, laughing quietly, his body shaking lightly beneath Theodore’s weight. “I know.” He sighed contently as Theodore rested his head on his chest.
Theodore’s eyes slid closed as James began to draw his fingers through his loose brown hair.
“How about a compromise?” James asked, after a long and quiet moment.
“Hhm?”
“When in private, I will be Mr. James Groves…”
Theodore raised an eyebrow.
“If you will be Mr. Theodore Norrington.” James tilted his head to the side, tugging gently at Theodore’s loose hair, as he raised his head again to look at him.
“I think I can live with that.” Theodore nodded and kissed his cheek, “My lovely husband… Mr.” He enunciated the title, “James Groves…”
James giggled, “We can name the kids Grovington.”
Theodore’s face blanched, only making James giggle harder. “You’re worse than And’!” He grimaced, “That’s an awful name…”
“I was quite proud of it, thank you very much.”
“Course you were. Now shut up and kiss me…”
