Calum stood in front of one of those toy dispenser machines, fiddling a quarter between his fingers. He was surprised the shop owner hadn't approached him yet for loitering. He was being a total cheapskate for even thinking about this. The machine had been eyeing for the last twenty minutes was unique.

Calum hadn't seen one before in his life. But Mr. Oskia's shop wasn't like any other shop in town. He had first seen this machine while on a walk to Luke's house. And the idea slowly grew in his head since then.

But what kind of guy gets his boyfriend of five years, a plastic toy ring from a quarter machine instead of actually spending money on a real gold ring. That guy was Calum Hood.

The tanned boy sighed, glancing down at the quarter that now rested on his open palm. The gift seemed liked a cute idea at first but the more Calum thought about it and how Luke might react to it, he was debating it over and over.

"Hey, are you going to get something?" Calum quickly turned back to find a twelve year old pushing past him. The kid went to the candy machine, popped in a quarter and received a gumball. Before returning back to his mother, the kid gave Calum a strange look.

The kid made it look so easy. Put the quarter in the slot, turn the knob and receive a prize. But would this prize be worth it. Squeezing the coin, Calum did just that. A little capsule with a little gold ring inside fell into the boy's hand. Calum popped it open, holding the ring in his hand.

He knew each ring had a little message written inside and Calum was curious on what he got.

Endlessly.

It was perfect. And a bright smile appeared on the boy's face when he knew he fell in love with this idea again. Calum stuffed his gift in his pocket and exited the store into the evening air. He looked down at himself. And he was a mess. His shirt still had stains from work and he probably reeked of oil. Working at the local auto shop plus working with his dad on construction projects; there was hardly any time to look presentable. But he knew Luke loved him either way. Even if some of his friends didn't often approve of Calum.

Luke had always hung around kids who shared this common thing while in high school, and that was money. That didn't change once Luke got into the local university. His roommates Michael and Ashton liked to comment on how the tanned boy looked dirty or a mess. Calum only thanked God that Luke didn't listen to any of those people because then they wouldn't have lasted this long.

He still had time to get home and freshen up a bit before his big surprise he had for his Luke. Today marked the two boy's five-year anniversary. Calum and Luke had been friends since they were in diapers, but it wasn't until their first year of high school that the two finally got together. It was that friends turned lovers thing and Calum couldn't have been more happier. All four years of high school and the summer after senior year were the best years Calum had ever had.

Luke was his best friend and he wanted to be with him forever.

The walk back his apartment was no more than ten minutes. Calum pulled out his phone to make the walk go by faster. He had one unread message from Luke.
