When Lance finally let go of Gareth, Gareth looked at him lovingly and wiped his eyes with his thumb.
"Why are you crying now, huh?" he asked gently.
Lance just gave him a smile, one of relief and love as he replied, "I was feeling so bad at hurting you so."
Gareth gave a small smile of his own and kissed Lance's eyes, saying, "It's okay."
"No, it's not okay," Lance said vehemently.
Grabbing Gareth's hands in his, he said, "Gareth, let's get married."
Gareth jerked his head back at this sudden declaration, "What? Why so sudden?"
"It's not sudden," Lance said, "We've been dating for several years now."
"Well, yeah, I know that," Gareth said, holding Lance by the waist, "But you've never shown any interest before …"
Lance put his hands on Gareth's lips, saying, "Let me finish."
