Fade rolled over so he was facing her, wrapping his arms around her and pulling her closer. He tangled their legs together, smirking happily. "You know there's only one," he shot back. "And I'm a nervous mess around her. I nearly ruined our first date because of it." He ran his fingers through her hair, pressing his lips to her nose.
Jace wrapped his legs around Alex's waist, clutching him close as he rested his head against his chest. He watched him open the ring box and slipped one on his finger. Jace relaxed against him, smiling as he kissed his hand. He gazed up at him, the rushing feelings of unhappiness calming down as he held his gaze. "Yes," he whispered, taking his hand and lacing their fingers together. He softly kissed him, calmer and more relaxed than he had been before. He couldn't believe that he had been at the brink, ready to end his own life once he left Alex's house. He felt loved and happy as he relaxed in Alex's embrace, feeling a happy glow in his chest.
