"Then, tell me. What do you think about love?"
"I do not know what to think of it. It is indescribable. I have only experienced paternal and maternal love. I can not give you a complete answer."
Jack's heart beats faster. He has never been in love? If he, perchance, fell in love with Jack, they would be each other's first loves. Is it not beautiful? To long, to teach and to learn how to love?
"Romantic love is beautiful." Jack smiles. "You go to extraordinary lengths for the one you love." His eyes focus on his glass.
Zach then dares to ask: "Are you in love, Jack?" Christ, he will never get over the fact that his name rolls out of his lips so effortlessly. It is refreshing hearing his call him. It is like a gentle breeze on a hot summer day.
The Viscount looks at him, his dark brown eyes piercing his sweet honey ones. His smile fades to a deep expression of seriousness. It is you I am utterly in love with. I love you.
"Madly in love, Zachary." He admits. "Utterly, deeply, devastatingly, obsessively, ardently in love." with you.
The gardener smiles fondly. His voice is quiet."Your eyes hold so much emotion. It is beautiful, indeed, to see someone in love."

I wanted to make a promise."
He looks at him the eyes.
"I promise to make you feel more than enough...to make you feel worthy, to make you the happiest..."
Zach grabs the ring from his pocket and shows it to him.
"And most importantly, I promise to let you be yourself when you're next to me...i-i know it's not a gold ring...but i-"
Jack crashes their lips together.
"But its perfect...and I love it and I'm gonna wear it every damn day." He smiles widely against his lips.

"It doesn't matter the cost, what matters is that you're happy."
"I am Jacky...seeing you happy makes me happy."
"Again, I wouldn't be like this, if it weren't for you..."
The curly head sets the box on the nightstand and turns off the light.
"...i wouldn't be...so free and i wouldn't feel enough."
The brunet pouts adorably and wipes a tear than fell from his eyes.
"Just kiss me already." He says cutely.
