Pt.1
Alan Humphries had always had a crush on his senior and partner, Eric Slingby ever since he trained her when he was just a new employee at the Reaper Dispatch Center, a Professional Gardening and Landscaping company.
While working on the Phantomhive's estate in England. Alan caught Eric stare at him, blushing, he continued trim the hedge. Without realizing it he accidentally turned the hedge into a heart. After they were done Alan felt a tap on the shoulder.
"Hey me and Ronald are meeting at the newest and latest Club in town since we don't have work tomorrow, would you like to join us?" Eric said as he lighted his cigarette."Sure. I don't drink though," Alan said.
Then they head off to the Undertaker's, a Gothic inspired Club, the interior was dark and the tables looked like coffins and the whole place looked more like a funeral parlor than anything else. Moving pass the bodies on the dance floor,they saw Ronald Knox at a booth in a hidden corner of the room, beside him was the red head secretary of their boss. Cringing, they were backing away to the doors when Ronald saw them and waved. Without any choice they decided to go ahead and sit opposite of Ronald and Grell. As soon as they were seated a guy with long-white hair went to their table to ask for their orders, he introduced himself as Undertaker, the owner of the club. After taking their orders,Thorns of Death for Alan and three glasses of souls, Undertaker left.
"Oh my! This looks like a double date!" Said Grell in a screeching manner, which made Alan blush, Ronald laugh and Eric snicker. Although Grell is a male he was wearing a short red dress that show's a long expanse of leg.
After they left the bar Alan had to escort Eric home, since their apartments was just beside each other. Ronald and Grell was taken home by an irate William since the two were staying at William's house.
As soon as they arrived, Alan placed Eric on the Sofa, then he started to remove his shoes and suit to make him comfortable. When he got ready to leave he felt Eric grab his hand and pull him. He landed on the sofa and now sitting on Eric's lap. All of a sudden Alan felt Eric's lips on his.
Alan pushed Eric away while blushing furiously. He tried to stand up but was being held by Eric's arms around him.
"Hey, Alan listen. I love you Alan." Eric slurred, then he kissed Alan again.
Pt. 2
After the incident in Eric's Apartment Alan and Eric had decided to tell everyone at the office. Grell was happy for them, Ronald said he'll support them as long as they are happy and Will said it was okay as long as their work was unaffected. Office life had continued normally after that except Alan and Eric were together more.
After work they headed towards their apartment. They decided that it was best to move to Eric's apartment to cut off their expenses and to be closer to each other. They turned on the television and watched Circus, a comedy show by some actors named Joker, Beast, Wendy, Peter, Dagger, Doll and Jumbo. As they we're set to turn off the TV a Newsflash suddenly came about the same gendered marriage of Ireland. After listening to it, they just looked at each other's eyes and turned off the Tv.
Later that night they've decided to talk about their relationship and the fact that they wanted to make everything official. One day Eric, on his way to the office, passed by a jewelry shop which sells the most beautiful jewelries, so he went inside.
Alan was just sitting in the office, doing paper work since there wasn't any field schedules today. He was also worried about Eric who was extremely late for work, since he's been hearing from William about Slackers should have more overtimes. Alan was about to call Eric when the door opened. Eric was holding a bouquet of roses and was smiling as he strode straight to Alan's desk. Eric then kneeled in front of Alan and presenting him the flowers.
"Alan will you marry me?" Eric asked as he took out the jewelry box from his coat pocket.
"Of course I will, Eric!" replied Alan who was now had tears on his eyes and blushing.
Will and Ronald who were now peering from their cubicles clapped. And Grell who was at the door were now taking pictures with his new phone.
Pt. 3
Alan was wearing a pure white tux while carrying Erica's, his favorite flower. They flew to Ireland for the week with everyone in the office and some of their friends so he and Eric could marry. The wedding was surprisingly sponsored by non-other than the cold Earl, CIel Phantomhive, who is also present at their wedding along with his butler and secretary, Sebastian Michaelis.
During the ceremony, Alan couldn't help but notice the way the earl longingly looks at his Butler.
Notes:
Supposedly this was just a short story of how Alan and Eric got married but it expanded so much.
