"So.. you are really going to do this?" Witold asked me as my mind raced over every possible thing I could do.

"Yeah.. I feel like I want to finally do it.." I responded.

Never in my life did I think I would have a partner, and I surely never dreamed that I would be planning to propose to him. Leaf was everything to me and I wanted him to know that fact. I needed to show him my devotion and everlasting love.

I had to..

"I need to propose to him. I can't be holding this off forever."

"Damn.. You really fell head over heels for my brother, huh?" Witold responded, his sarcastic expression making me question my choice of friends.

"This isn't a joke." I respond, trying to sound serious.

"Yeah, I know." He laughs as he places his back against a wall in front of me, "But come on buddy. There is not a single day that Leaf doesn't spend wanting to be with you. Don't even get me started on how much he misses you whenever you are on your hunting trip with your hunting buddies!" He added, as I rolled my eyes.

"First of all I thought you liked spending time with your brother, and second of all they are not my 'hunting buddies' they are my coworkers." I joked, slightly annoyed at Witold's lack of seriousness.

"Ah, I do but.." He gets closer to me before beginning to whisper almost like someone would be listening, "I can't stand his complaining about not being with you. He is really clingy when it comes to you."

I stare at him confused, "Is it that bad?"

"Nah, not really. But just saying buddy, you have nothing to be afraid of. Leaf can't live without you, trust me, I KNOW THAT." Witold said, looking me in the eyes almost like he has been through hell itself.

"Yeah, but what if he-"

"What if he, what? Rejects you? Buddy he could not survive a day without you. There is absolutely no way he says no." Witold responded, practically scuffing at my question.

"I know, I know. It's just.. am I good enough for him?" I said.

I knew Leaf wouldn't say no. Hell, he was practically waiting for me to propose to him, but I just kept on wondering if I am good enough to be his husband. Shit.. I can barely keep a conversation going and if we got married I would have to figure out how to be a good father and a good husband. How is an idiot like me supposed to be a father? Being someone's husband means that you have to care for the other person and do everything that you can to be by their side, and even though I was doing that already.. Am I doing enough? What if I-

Suddenly I am thrown out of my dark thoughts as a hand suddenly slaps me in the face.

"Agh! What was that for!?" I yelled in protest, the slap although not that painful was enough to scare me a bit.

"Oh, shut up!" Witold responded, "Do you know how fucking shitty his other boyfriends were?"

"Not really..?" I slowly said, keeping my hand where I was slapped to ease the pain.
