Stableboy Tom

-16-

"Tord can you just tell me where we're going already?" Tord smirked at Toms whining.

Tord had woken up Tom that morning telling him they were going somewhere. Somewhere special. So with that both boys proceeded to get breakfast saddle up Tords horse and went on their merry way.

They hadn't been travelling long, just along the path of the forest. Though Tom had a suspicion on where they were going, he wasn't too sure therefore keeping his mouth shut and keeping his voiced thoughts in his head.

After about 10 minutes of travelling, Tord stopped at a post. He jumped off Dee grabbing 2 items out of a bag he packed beforehand. A rope in which he tied Dee to the post and a piece of fabric to use as a blindfold "Trust me love, its a surprise"

So Tom hesitantly let Tord tie the fabric around his eyes. After a few minutes of stumbling and tripping, they came to a halt. The sound of rushing water sounded below and the rustling of clothes. "Tord?"

"You can take it off in a second"

"okay 1. Can I take it off now?" Tord chuckled a bit as did Tom.

"okay smart ass you can now"

Tom took of the blind fold being greeted by a nicely flowing stream and rickety old bridge. Tom smiled fondly at the familiar of the place. A very special place indeed. The place where his parents got married and where his Fathers ashes got scattered.

He turned around to ask Tord why they were there however the position Tord was in answered his questions. He kneeled on one leg his hands outstretched in frontof him holding the ring he brought a few days earlier. Tears immediately gathered in Toms eyes.

"Tom since the day I saw you, I knew you were the one. I Love every single part of you. Every sarcastic sentence to every sweet sentiment has brought a smile to my face. I want to be by your side every day for the rest of your life. So will you do the honours of staying by my side everyday for the rest of my life and marry me?"

Tom brought his hands up to his face nodding his head vigorously, the tears finally pouring down his cheeks. "Yes! Yes of course I will!"

Tord beamed in joy, walking forward and putting the ring on the right finger. He then brought him into an embrace kissing him oh so sweetly.

"I love you Tom."

"I love you too Tord."
