Zelos insisted on getting them matching rings and really, Lloyd didn't complain too much because it was actually pretty cute. They were simple, gold with a cliché half of a heart painted brown on top of it so that if you put the other ring next to it you would get a full heart. He didn't want to wear it too often though because Martel almighty, no matter how nice he thought it was it didn't make it any less embarrassing.
Of course Zelos tries to persuade him to wear it at least sometimes (and when Zelos tries to persuade Lloyd he pretty much nags him until either he gets his way or Lloyd just kicks him really hard—both with promised make-up make-outs later), asking Lloyd about it again when they've finally bothered to get out of bed and have some coffee Sebastian already made for them.
"Okay, I won't wear the ring unless you do," Zelos says as he swallows part of his bagel.
Lloyd's face goes a little red and he just kicks Zelos' knee at that which in turn makes the Chosen drop his bagel onto the floor. He can't help but laugh a bit at the offended look on Zelos' face as he says, "My bagel!"
"I'd love to wear it," Lloyd says as he leans over to check out the bagel on the floor. "I think it's nice, but it's way too embarrassing."
"When we're alone, then," the other says as he tries to move the bagel away from him with his foot as though to make it look like he wasn't the one who dropped it and there was just some bagel on the floor for no reason at all.
Lloyd can't argue at that. "Okay." He takes another sip of his milk. "Are you going to get another bagel?"
