I just realized how long it's been since I updated this fanfic.. Because of the break, there will be a bit of a time skip.

Warning! Rated M!

5 Months Later

The last five months have brought Ross and Ratliff even closer together, if that were even possible. But recently, something has been different about Ratliff. He was becoming a bit distant from Ross.

Ross tried not to think that Ratliff could be slowly trying to break it off, but he couldn't help but think of the fact that that he could be trying to find a way to break up with him.

Ross sat in his bed with the movie "Romeo & Juliet" with all of the lights off and the shades closed.

Rydel opened Ross's door without knocking. "Ross, what's been up with you?" Rydel asked concerned as she flipped the light switch on. "I think Ratliff is trying to break up with me," Ross admitted after turning off the TV.

"Why would you think that?" Rydel asked. "Because I haven't seen him in two weeks, he won't answer my texts and tomorrow's our one year anniversary," Ross explained.

Rydel's eyes widened. "Ross. I'll go talk to him la-" "NO! I don't want him to know that I thought of that if he's not going to break up with me," Ross cut off. "Fine, I won't say anything," Rydel sighed. "Thanks, Delly," Ross smiled. "No problem," Rydel smiled.

Rydel left Ross's bedroom and closed the door behind her. As she was walking back to her bedroom, her phone chimed. She fished it out of the pocket of her jeans.

It was a text from Ratliff.

Can you get Rocky, Ryland and Laura and come to my apartment?

Rydel sighed before saying she would. She then texted the others to join her.

"Sorry about the short notice," Ratliff apologized. "It's fine, Ratliff," Laura assured. Rydel was honestly kind of upset. Maybe he was trying to break up with Ross.

"Why are we here?" Rocky asked. "I was getting to that," Ratliff said. Rocky nodded.

"So, if you don't already know, Ross and I's one year anniversary is tomorrow," Ratliff smiled. The others all nodded.

Ratliff looked like he was nervous. "And.. Well.. Um," Ratliff stuttered. He fished something out of his sweatshirt pocket. He held the small object in his right hand.

"Tomorrow night, I'm going to ask Ross to marry me."

The group's eyes widened as Ratliff opened the ring box. "Oh my God!" Rydel and Laura screamed as they admired the golden ring.

"Rocky, may I have your blessing to ask Ross to marry me?" Ratliff asked. "Of course," Rocky smiled. Ratliff had tears of joy in his eyes. "Oh no, here come the water works," Rocky sighed. Ratliff chuckled before hugging Rocky. "Thank you," Ratliff sniffled. "In return of my blessing, can you please not get snot on my shirt?" Rocky asked sarcastically. Ratliff chuckled again as he pulled away and wiped his eyes and sniffled.

"Just please don't tell Ross. I don't want him to know until I ask," Ratliff pleaded. "You're secret's safe with us," Ryland assured.

Ross was adjusting the red tie he was wearing. He then fixed his suit jacket. He wanted to look perfect for the perfect man in his life.

Rydel opened Ross and Ryland's bedroom door and saw Ross nervously fixing his clothes. "Hey, you almost done? Ratliff will be here any minute," Rydel asked. "Does this look okay?" Ross asked nervously.

Rydel knew that Ross was nervous. This was the first time in two weeks that he's seen Ratliff, but in Ratliff's defense, he was thinking of his big plan to propose to Ross, and it's also been one year since the two of them shared their first kiss and became a couple.

"Ross, you look fine," Rydel assured. "Sorry, I'm just a little nervous," Ross said nervously. "Ross.. Don't be nervous. Ratliff WILL NOT break up with you," Rydel assured. "Promise?" Ross asked. "Promise," Rydel smiled.

Ratliff walked into the bedroom quietly. "Hi, honey," Ratliff greeted. "Hey," Ross smiled before slowly connecting their lips together. Rydel smirked at the couple before leaving the room, shutting the door behind her.

Their kiss slowly grew into a make out session. If it weren't for the dinner reservation in fourty five minutes and the fact that he was going to propose afterward, Ratliff would be wanting to take their love higher.

Also, he knew that they would be intimate by the time morning comes.

Ross slowly began to suck down Ratliff's neck. Ratliff had to contain himself before he ended up getting hard. He didn't want to go down on one knee and ask Ross to marry him with excitement in his pants.

"R-Ross.." Ratliff moaned. "Mhm?" Ross moaned. Ross's warm breath against the saliva on Ratliff's neck made Ratliff shiver. "Ugh, you're really making it hard for me," Ratliff mumbled.

"Mmm.. I'll get you hard," Ross moaned inro Ratliff's ear. Now he was just teasing Ratliff. "Ross.. Please don't make me have to take care of that myself," Ratliff pleaded. Ross sighed before pulling away.

"C'mon, we're going to be late," Ratliff chuckled. They gently intertwined their hands and walked out to Ratliff's car.

After dinner, Ratliff guided Ross to the forest behind his apartment building. "Whoa, how come you haven't taken me here before?" Ross asked in awe as he looked around.

"Because I wanted the first time to be special," Ratliff smiled. "Wait, what do you mean?" Ross asked as he furrowed his eyebrows in confusion.

"Ross.. Do you remember back in 2008 when we met at that dance studio?" Ratliff asked. Ross nodded his head. "Yeah, what about it?" Ross asked, now even more confused than before.

"Well, I remember that there was something about you that just.. Intrested me. Ross, you were the first person that I felt that it was okay to be completely myself. Now that I think back to that now, I can say in confidence that it was the first time I felt.. Loved by someone. I also remember that one year ago today, we shared the kiss that started this relationship in your dressing room. It was then when I knew that I was happy. Knowing that you were mine and that I was yours. And I want it to stay like this forever and ever and ever. What I'm trying to say is.. Ross Shor Lynch..."

Ratliff pulled something out of his pocket and went down on one knee.

"Will you marry me?" Ratliff asked with a sparkle in his eyes.

Ratliff opened the red velvet box to reveal a shiny golden ring.

Ross gasped and placed his hands over his mouth. Tears of happiness filled in his eyes. Once he could gain control of his emotions, he took his hands away from his mouth and sniffled.

"Yes," Ross nodded as his voice cracked.

Ratliff gasped of happiness as he stood up and took the ring out of the box. Ratliff slid the box back into his suit pocket as Ross spread out his fingers.

Ratliff slid the ring on Ross's left ring finger as tears of joy slid down his cheeks. Ross gently cupped Ratliff's face and leaned into the most passionate kiss that they have shared so far.

Ross gently unbuttoned Ratliff's suit jacket before sliding it off of Ratliff, letting it fall to the floor. This may not have been the first time that they have had sex, but this was the first time that the love was this strong.

"I love you so much, Ratliff," Ross whispered. "I love you too," Ratliff spoke before unbuttoning the last button on Ross's suit jacket.

Ross and Ratliff slipped off their socks and dress shoes as they continued to kiss passionately. Ratliff began to fumble with the red tie that was around Ross's neck.

"I mean it, baby, I'll always love you," Ross panted before unbuttoning the final button on Ratliff's shirt and taking it off. "I know you mean it. I'll always love you too," Ratliff moaned as he felt Ross begin to fumble with the belt buckle around his waist.

Once the sound of the metal belt buckle hitting the floor echoed throughout Ratliff's bedroom, Ratliff unbuttoned Ross's shirt and let it fall to the ground. He then unhooked Ross's belt buckle and it fell with ease.

Ross pulled down Ratliff's pants and boxers, leaving Ratliff naked. Lastly, Ratliff pulled Ross's pants and boxers down. The two slowly collapsed onto the bed. Ratliff grabbed a condom off of his end table and applied the condom.

Ratliff slowly began to stick his index and middle fingers inside of Ross's opening. Ross's breath was shaky. Ratliff pressed his lips to Ross's roughly as he continued to repeatedly stick his two fingers farther into Ross's opening. "Mmm.." Ross moaned.

Ratliff took his fingers out and then positioned himself. He pulled away from the kiss and began to thrust slowly. Ross's breathing was shakier as he rolled his eyes back in pleasure. After each thrust, Ratliff would whisper "I love you," into Ross's ear.

"Ratliff! I-I'm.. I'm so close," Ross moaned loudly as he felt Ratliff thrust deeper and deeper, getting closer to the spot he needed to hit. "It's okay," Ratliff moaned as he began to suck on Ross's neck.

Ross's body jerked as Ratliff gave one more deep thrust. Ratliff got out just in time because when Ross landed back on the bed, everything came out like a hose.

Ross flipped Ratliff over as Ratliff removed the condom, only to find out he flowed too. Ross was going to get a condom, but he was too tired to return the favor.

"R-Ratliff.. I don't think I can do it.." Ross panted. "It's fine. Just go to sleep," Ratliff mumbled. Ratliff looked over to find Ross already asleep in his arms.

"Goodnight, Ross," Ratliff whispered before sinking into a deep sleep.

How do you feel that they're engaged? Am I moving this story too fast? I hope I'm not.

Please review! :)
