Walk with me
Lukas was tired and Mathias had noticed. He tried to talk his husband into going to bed and tell Emil and Ethan to visit tomorrow instead. Though Lukas refused, he wanted to meet them too much, and hear Emils voice again.
So Mathias set up the table outside and carried Lukas outside, placing him carefully on his seat.
Emil and Ethan greeted them when they came, and under the dinner Lukas couldn't help but to ask questions about them, sometimes asking if they could describe it.
As they finished Mathias stroked Lukas hair before he got up, and Lukas heard him ask Emil if he could help him clean up. Lukas turned his face towards the sun as he heard Emil and Mathias disappear inside. "Ethan... could you walk with me?" He asked.
"Yes" Came the reply and some movement before Lukas felt Ethan take his hand and helped him up. "Where do you want to go?"
Lukas smiled "Just a bit around the garden"
Ethan walked with Lukas around the garden as the others cleaned. He asked a bit about Emil as they walked, and Lukas replied and even told him some secrets about Emil.
But it didn't take long for Lukas to get tired. Ethan noticed and stopped walking.
Lukas smiled "Sorry."
"Don't worry, its fine" came Ethans reply. Lukas nodded and reached a hand out "Could I please?" He asked hopefully.
Ethan nodded, but took the hand and led it to his face "Yeah" He replied vocally.
Lukas trailed his fingers over Ethans face and even stroked his hand through Ethans hair. "I know it's very early to ask this… But I just... have to. Ethan; if you and Emil last, like I hope you will... Would you... Would you marry?" He asked the other man.
There was silent. And Lukas knew the other was thinking before he felt the other lean in.
Emil watched his lover lean in and whisper in his brothers' ear, and Lukas smile in response. He crossed his arms and looked at Mathias "What are they doing?!" He asked
Mathias shrugged and grinned "Nothing 'supose" He said before walking over to them
"Lukas" He said and placed a hand on Lukas' shoulder.
Lukas hummed a bit, clearly tired now "Mathias" He smiled and lent against him.
Mathias stroked Lukas' hair and picked him up, wrapping his arms around him.
Lukas snuggled his nose to Mathias' neck and drifted off to sleep.
Mathias smiled and excused himself as he put Lukas to bed.
