Star-Crossed Lovers

Till the World Ends Pt. 3

"Nikolai, will you marry me?" Price asked his lover, as he held out a ring to him. "Jonathan I..." The Russian looked around at the people in the restaurant. A lot of them were watching. Some were whispering amongst themselves, and giving the two men dirty looks. Nik started getting nervous.

"Nik, what's wrong?" The Brit asked him as he started to get up. "No, John, don't get up yet. I haven't given you my answer." "Oh, o-okay." Price got back on one knee. "Jonathan Price, my darling. My moon. My Little Mouse. Моя любовь. I will marry you," Nik said with a smile, as happy tears fell down his face. Silence.

"Y-You will?" Price asked as tears started crawling down his face. "Of course, Little Mouse. Why would you think I'd say no?" "I-I mean, there's always that possibility..." "Just put the ring on me, Jonathan," the Russian said with a chuckle.

"So, Price was in a rush, aye?" Soap said, as him and Ghost snuggled on the couch and watched TV. "He just wanted to spend time with Nik, is all. I mean, they are getting older," Simon responded with a shrug. "Aye, that's true." Pause.

"What did ye 'n' Price have t' talk aboot, anyways?" "Oh, nothin', just catching up." "Really, fer over half an hour?" "Yup." The Scot rolled his eyes. "What, don't believe me?" The taller man looked over at his partner with a raised eyebrow. "Nae, I dinnae believe ya. Why would he catch up with you, but not with me?" Simon hummed with a shrug.

"What did you and Nikolai have to talk about?" "Oh, he j'st told me aboot how he's worried aboot Price, since he's apparently bein' distant with 'im." "Really?" Simon looked away. "What is it, Si?" "Nothing, nothing. I just thought of something, but it, uh, went away." "Uh-huh, sure."

Suddenly, John's phone dinged, so he checked it. "Huh, Nik texted me," he said as he opened the text. His eyes went wide and he slowly turned his head to look at Ghost. "Ye fuckin' bawbag!" He exclaimed as he started slapping Simon on the arm repeatedly. "Hey, what did I do?!" "Ye fuckin' lied t' me!" "What? No I didn't!" "Then what's this, aye?" John put the phone up to his partner's face, showing a picture of Nik and Price kissing. The caption read, "Just Married." "Oh... that." Silence.

"When were ya gonna tell me?" "I wasn't gonna tell you, Johnny. Price told me not to," Ghost said with a sigh, as he rubbed his arm. Soap crossed his arms and pouted. "Oh, don't be like that, Suds. If I was allowed to tell you, I would've." "Liar." "Oh, really? I'm not the one who broke a promise." "It was one time, Simon! And I already made it up t' ya! Quit bringin' that up!" John threw his hands up in the air. "I'm right, though, aren't I?" Silence.

"...Yeahyoureright..." John mumbled. "I'm sorry, what was that?" Ghost said with a grin. "Yeahyoureright" "I couldn't hear you. Please, say it again." The Scot groaned dramatically. "Yeah, you're right." "I am? Really? I'm amazed!" "Awy 'n' bile yer heid, ya bampot."
