Dark Horses

Chapter 48 - Trouble in Paradise ?

The sun shined through the open windows, the morning never felt better.  Mew was staring at asleep Gulf, eyeing his peaceful face never felt so good. He smiled as Gulf shifted slowly and opened his eyes.

"Hi." Mew smiled. 

"Hi." Gulf smiled wide and came closer, hugged him tighter hiding his face under the crock of his neck. Mew held him tightly safe, Kissing his shoulder. 

"Did you sleep well ?"

"The best. " Gulf sighed. Mew chuckled. 

"What time is it ?" Gulf tried to find Mew's wrist under the blanket and shifted to see his watch, he opened one eye and saw, "Hm. We need to get up." He yawned and cuddled again with closed eyes. 

"You can rest, I'll have to do some work. " Mew laid down on his back, taking Gulf with him on his side, kissing his pout lips frequently. Gulf escaped from his pepper kisses with a smile.

"Noo.." Gulf whined, "I need to go to Adrian's house. Need to explain, apologies, speak to my parents, I bet, they are shitting their pants. "

"Hmm, Do you want me to come?" Mew cupped his cheek.

"Would you?" Gulf stared with Bambi's eyes.

"Yea, Of course. I want to meet your parents too. "

"My parents?"

"yea, I mean, Who would not want to meet their husband's parents. ?

"Husband?" Gulf got up and sat away from Mew.

"Okay, now I'm guessing you're pretending not to understand." Mew frowned as he sat back too.

"No. I'm not pretending. I really don't understand."

"Okay, in lame words, We are getting married, Pronto. "

"What?" Gulf laughed. 

"What's funny?" Mew was losing his temper by the second.

"Mew... I mean -"

"You don't wanna get married?"

"I do! But -"

"You don't love me?"

"I do! Just listen -"

"Then what's the problem!?" Mew raised his voice. 

Gulf was silent at once. He closed his eyes and calmed himself down, he took a deep breath. He got up from the bed and walked away, Mew cursed himself, "Fuck."

Gulf crossed his arms and stood in the middle of the room, he looked at Mew seriously. 

"It's not that I don't love you. I do. More than anything. I wouldn't be here, in your arms, kissing you, fucking you if I didn't. I want to be married. Not to anyone. But only you.
But Mew... I need time. We had gone through so much. I need time to be with you before we get married. I want to know about a few things, know you, Meet your friends, family. 

I want to be your boyfriend before I get to be your husband. We never got to be that. We just skipped that part, remember? 

We were strangers, then you kidnapped me, then we hated each other, then we became friends, then we had mixed feelings, Then I fell for you, then we fucked, and then when you knew you loved me - your asshole ex came in the picture and blackmailed you. And now, you're asking me to marry you?"

Mew sighed and covered his face. Gulf melted at that sight, he walked slowly and crawled towards Mew, He wrapped his arms around Mew's neck and kissed his head, He sat on his thighs, wrapped them around the waist.
