A couple weeks later, Tommy found himself back in class. He nervously hit a pencil at his notebook. He was currently at his class for English as a second language. His notes were scribbled in Greek as well as English. Some stuff didn't make any sense to him, but he was learning. He didn't mind that he had to go to class, because it always meant that Nikki was picking him up and they'd go out to lunch.

He looked at his notebook for a moment, it was full of jotted notes in Greek. "Notes" all about Nikki, things he wanted to say to him, to give him, to do with him.

He walked up to his teacher after class ended.

"Hello Tommy, what's up?" She asked.

"Ahm... I-can you uhm, prove read this?"

"Proof, Tommy"

"Prooooofff, okay" He giggled.

"What is this for, Tommy? It's very beautiful." She asked.

"I Ahm, I would like to ask Nikki to marry-is that, uhm, okay? Over here? Was not where I am from"

He pulled out his phone and flipped through his pictures, setting the phone on the desk.

"Nikki" he said, pointing to the photo.

"You'd like to ask Nikki to marry you?" She asked.

"Yes yes" Tommy said, smiling. "Been together for so long" he said fondly.

"I think it sounds wonderful Tommy" His teacher smiled. "He's a cutie too"

"I will tell you how it goes, we are going on a date today" Tommy said smiling.

"He's a lucky boy for sure. Have a wonderful date Tommy, and I look forward to hearing your news. Do you have rings?"

"I do!" He said. He pulled them out of his backpack and showed her. One was simple gold and silver, the other was onyx and gold. "Black one is for Nikki"

"They're beautiful Tommy, now get outta here, I have to grade papers." She teased lightheartedly.

"My friend has a problem with red pens" He felt the need to say. "School people, and red pens" he laughed fondly at that memory. "Anyway, I will be going" he giggled.

He walked outside, spotting his boyfriend, he joyfully skipped over and hugged him.

"Hey T, you ready to go?" Nikki asked.

"I am, can we go to that diner? Where we had our first date? I can drive" Tommy asked.

"Sure, just relax, I'll drive" Nikki said. "Kiss first?"

Tommy hummed warmly, he threw his stuff in the car before falling into Nikki's arms.

"Hi baby" Nikki whispered against Tommy's lips. "Good day?"

"Yes, it's always a god day when I get to see you" Tommy giggled.

They shared a few more sweet kisses in the parking lot before taking off.

The ride was quiet, Tommy tried to conceal his nervousness. He was successful for the most part, until they were getting out of the car, and he slammed Nikki against the back of it, kissing and nipping at his lips.

"I-I uhm, wanted to wait, but, I don't want to" Tommy said. "I know we have not been together very long... but I have loved you since the moment we met" he said nervously. "I would like to ask you... Nikki, will you marry me?" He asked.

He knelt down on one knee and held one of Nikki's hand. Nikki's eyes glossed over and got wet.

"I think I fucked this part up" Tommy laughed, making Nikki laugh.

"Yes, yes I'll marry you" Nikki wiped a couple tears away and pulled Tommy up off the ground.

"I love you, my baby Nikki" Tommy whispered. "Oh!" He started fumbling around in his jacket pockets and pulled out the small box. "I definitely fucked this part up, I think I was supposed to have this out when I asked" he giggled.

He slid the onyx gold ring on Nikki's finger.

"I have the best family... we have the best family" Tommy murmured. "Mickey, Vinny, the little girls, you" he hummed contently and caressed Nikki's cheek. "Ima get you a puppy one day" he tapped the tip of Nikki's nose.

"How's you know I like dogs?" Nikki asked.

"Have you seen the way you look at dogs when you see them hang out windows?" Tommy asked, chuckling endearingly. "And Mickey tells me everything" he winked. "We're gonna have a beautiful wedding" he said. "Know why?"

"Hm?" Nikki hummed, holding Tommy close to him.

"Because I get to marry you" Tommy said lovingly.

"I love you" Nikki whispered.

"I love you, baby" Tommy whispered back. "How about... after lunch... we..." he said in a soft and sultry voice. "Get a room?"

"Mmm... yes please" Nikki purred.

"I hope you're hungry" Tommy winked.

"Always baby" Nikki returned the wink.

"Let's go eat"
