I woke up the next morning and got dressed before heading downstairs where I found Aaron and Chad sat on the couch together watching a movie.
"I'm not intruding, am I?" They both turned to face me.
"Not at all." Chad replied before smiling at me. "Aaron's going out with Willam in a bit anyway."
"Right."
"Actually Justin, can I steal you for the day?" Chad asked.
"I- um, why?"
"I just need your help with something."
"Sure."
"Great, let's go."
"Right now?"
"No time like the present."
"What about me?" Aaron said as Chad got up and grabbed his jacket.
"We'll be back later." Chad said quickly before kissing Aaron on the head and dragging me out to his car.
"So, why do you need my help?" I asked as I clipped in the seat belt.
"Well, I need your help picking something."
"Picking what?"
"A ring."
"Why?"
"I want to propose to Aaron."
"Wait, really?"
"Yeah, do you think it's the right thing?"
"It's up to you, what do you want?"
"I want Aaron."
"And you need my help picking a ring why?"
"Because I have no idea."
"And you think I do?" Chad just laughed and focused on the road whilst I turned on the radio.

We arrived back to Aaron's house and Chad headed upstairs, "If Aaron comes back tell him not to come upstairs."
"Alright." I fell onto the couch and pulled out my phone before clicking onto Instagram. Half an hour later the door opened, and Aaron walked in. He took off his jacket and chucked it on the back of the vacant armchair before collapsing onto the couch next to me.
"So, why'd he need your help?"
"It was nothing."
"Right, well I need to get changed for work."
"You can't go upstairs."
"Why?"
"Chad told me to say you can't."
"Right."
"It's fine, you can." Chad smiled as he emerged from upstairs. "But you're not working tonight."
"Pretty sure I am."
"I asked Darren if you could have tonight and tomorrow evening off."
"Why?"
"I want to take you out, just the two of us for once."
"Oh."
"Don't sound too excited." Chad laughed.
"I am!" Aaron replied as he stood up and hugged Chad.
