“Today we have America's favorite couples!” Ellen grinned, looking at the four men piled together on a sofa. “But I hear you have something you wanted to tell us.”

“Yes. We do… All four of us are in a relationship.” Bucky had been chosen between the four to announce it. His voice did not waver and he sounded confident. There was a stunned silence in the studio as everyone processed.

“Well let me be the first of us to congratulate you.” Ellen just rolled with it, smiling still. “Do your families know?”

“Oh definitely. All of them support us… Except Chris’ mom.” Sebastian nodded, putting on his sad puppy face. “She's been nothing but disapproving and angry since Thanksgiving.”

“It's been terrible.” Steve added, letting Chris worm his way into his lap. He kissed Chris’ cheek, ignoring the shouting from the audience.

“Oh no. I'm so sorry.” Ellen reached out and touched Chris’ knee.

“The rest of our families are very supportive. My sisters said they saw it coming though.” Chris made himself smile. “And Mama Stan as always is treating me like her son.”

“Chris, you are her son. She's loved you since we met.” Sebastian laughed, leaning over and kissing Chris’ lips gently. He got a bunch of aww's from the audience at that.

“I'd be lost without my boyfriends. And I won't let anyone take away our happiness. What we do and how we love is up to us. We're just like any couple. We fight, we love, we have fun but we always are there for each other.” Chris smiled directly at the camera closest.

“Bucky and I have waited for them before we even knew it. We needed them to make us complete. It just took a long time. We started as separate couples but a series of events brought us together and now here we are. Happy and well loved.” Steve cuddled Chris close, letting the smaller man hide his face in his neck. “No one can break us up. We're a team.”

“We're out of time. But I hope to see you guys again soon.” Ellen was happy that they had chosen her show to come out on. She had adored them for years.

The four made their way to the car and off to the retreat that Tony had arranged for them.
