"You can't give that to me!" Anike tugged at the ring, surprised when it didn't move. It had gone on easily enough—
Reni laughed, leaning forward and pulling his hands apart. "Whether you decide to keep us or not, our hearts belong to you."
"But—" The word of protest slipped out of Anike's mouth before his brain caught up to what Reni had said. "You're insane," Anike declared, sniffling. Glancing up, he smiled shyly before ducking his head to stare at the ring again. "I thought you didn't want to keep me."
Calo let out a disbelieving noise, drawing Anike's attention from the ring. Reni pinched him, and Anike glared at him before getting distracted again.
"You want to take me home with you?" Anike asked, trying to not sound hesitant and probably failing miserably.
"More than anything," Calo declared, tangling his fingers with Anike's.
"Except possibly staying here with you," Reni said before lunging for him. Anike managed a brief laugh before Reni's mouth sealed over his, hot and demanding and Anike kissed back desperately. Two days, it had been only two days, but Anike felt like it had been forever.
Reni pulled back too quickly, but Anike barely had time to draw in a quick gasp of air before Calo replaced him, kissing him slow and sure and Anike just threw an arm around his neck and tangled his fingers in Reni's shirt and believed in it for real.
