When Andy Has A Secret

The next three weeks the men move into their new condo and made it into their own little happy home. Remington hasn't spoken to Sebastian but has kept in loose contact with Emerson. Andy has been making sure to stay close to his lover since he has been on his phone again. William's fans have been down right hateful and it's tearing Remington apart. No one has made an announcement about what happened and Remington is too scared to. It feels like everyone is against me. 

"You sure you are going to be okay here alone?" Andy asks his visibly shaken boyfriend.

"Y...yeah..." Remington mumbles, still scrolling through his phone. Andy sighs and walks to his boyfriend and grabs his cheeks, then plants a small kiss on his lips.

"Baby, what they are saying, it isn't you. They don't know you personally or what happened. Don't let it get to you. I know it's easier said than done, but I need you to know, your existence is beautiful. Your life is beautiful. Your soul, your everything. I don't want you leaving me again. We are going to get through this, remember baby."

Remington tears up and grabs onto his boyfriend and hugs him tight. "I don't know what I'd ever do without you. Thank you."

Andy leans back and wipes his lover's tears. "I won't be gone long. Take a bath, read a book, meditate, just something healthy." He kisses his boyfriend again and walks out the door.

Andy meets up with Lonny at a jeweler in Atlanta. Remington has no clue that Lonny is in town and probably won't find out unless someone posts about them. The men look around the cases and try to find a ring that Remington would love. 

"I'm fucking sad that his brothers couldn't be here. It's all too awkward right now." Andy says, comparing a silver and gold ring he sees. 

"Give Seb some time. He's been going through some shit of his own. I don't think he meant anything he said." Lonny says, eying a rose gold cross ring. Andy shakes his head at it. 

"I think I need to stick with silver or white gold. It'll look better on his skin tone." 

"Enough sadness though. How fucking amped are you that you are taking the next step?"

"Nervous as shit," Andy chuckles. "I mean it's not like I haven't been married before and that turned into a shit show. But Remi, God, he is different. He is a fucking fantasy. Everything about him is so quirky and whimsical. He makes my life actually have excitement and meaning."

Lonny smiles and looks at the man. "Sounds like a soulmate. You are lucky to have found him. He really is a good guy."

Andy points to a particular ring with diamonds and spirals all over it. "That's it...that's the one."
