Propose (Khai/Third-Pick/Rome)

Author's note: I missed our Third/Rome friendship stories. 

Third was watching Pick as he nervously shifted on the sofa, glancing around the room. It wasn't the first time he had visited them. But today was different. Rome didn't come with him. Third had an idea why the older male was seeking their presence, but he didn't want to jump to a conclusion. Khai plopped next to Pick, eying him from head to toe before he opened his mouth. 

"So, what's up?"

Pick looked at Khai, probably trying to find the right words, but ended up silent again. Third sighed, putting the freshly made coffee on the table in front of their guest. 

"Are you here to ask for advice?" Third asked as he tried to sit next to Khai, but his good-for-nothing possessive husband pulled him on his lap and wrapped his ridiculously long arms around his waist. Pick didn't seem to mind as he was deep in his thoughts. Third watched him nod slightly after a while.

"Is it about Rome?" He asked again, receiving another nod. 

"Will you tell us, or should my baby keep guessing?" Khai asked, annoyed. Third, elbowed him in the ribs. 

"How did you do it?" Pick whispered with his eyes fixed on the table. Third, assumed he was too embarrassed to look at them. 

"What? I didn't do anything." Khai said confusedly. Third shook his head. His husband could be dense sometimes. 

"Pick is asking how you proposed. Am I right?" Third glanced at Pick for confirmation.

"Yes."

"Oh, you want to tie the knot with Rome? Nice move, man." Khai grinned, punching Pick on the shoulder in approvement. 

"Let the great Khai Khumpol help you out." He added. Pick's head snapped towards them, his eyes sparkling with hope, and Third had a strange feeling this won't end up well.
