~ A Few Weeks Later~
The five of them were settling into a comfortable routine. The gang would alternate on spending their weekends at either Michael or William's houses. The men also got some private time in between theses weekends. Granted that it was not always at restaurants or out doing something, sometimes it was just some quiet time after the boys would go to sleep. They tried keeping their budding relationship a secret but it was getting harder and harder, the more serious they got.
-Michael's POV-
O: So I see that Jake's birthday party is going to be a William's house this Saturday.
Mi: Yes.
O: Mike. (She said questioning)
Mi: What?
O: You have your own house, your sister has her own house but you decide on your friend's house.
Mi: William has a swimming pool and Jake wanted it there.
O: Is he the only one? (She asked with a smile)
Mi: Where are you going with this?
O: Do you remember the question that I asked you after I first met William?
Mi: No?
O: You totally do but I'll ask again. Is there something going on between the two of you?
Mi: Olivia.
O: Mom's on her way and I promise that we'll gang up on you if you don't tell me the truth.
Mi: Please don't, she already wants to meet William.
O: Why does she want to meet William?
Mi: Beats me.
O: Now tell me the truth, you know that I just want you to be happy, big brother.
Mi: Okay fine, we're... we're together but we're keeping it quiet for now. We don't want the boys to get false hope in case this doesn't work out.
O: I'm so happy for you. (She says giving him a big hug) And you two are idiots if you think that the boys don't know.
Mi: We've been careful around them.
O: Those boys have wanted the two of you together even before you two slow pokes finally caught on.
Mi: William and I always do say that we've raised pretty smart boys.
O: That you have.

~Friday~
-William and Michael's POV-
They just came home a settled for a brief lunch because the boys wanted all the decorations up today. The boys were eating their lunch in front of the TV and Michael and William were in the kitchen, sitting across from each other at the kitchen counter.
Mi: Don't forget that my mother is coming tomorrow morning.
W: How can I, you've been driving yourself mad this whole week about it.
Mi: Oh. So another thing... I told Olivia about us, I hope that's okay.
W: Hey, you're a part of this too and I don't have a problem with you telling Olivia. If I had any siblings I'd be running to them with the news. (He said caressing Michael's face with a small smile on his lips)
Mi: Stop it. The boys could walk in at any moment. (He says without even attempting to pull away)
W: Do you think we should tell them? I just feel bad keeping it from them.
