Tell me about it. If you'd told me back home I'd have a ring on my finger, I would have laughed.
[ if someone had told him that it would have been oliver that would end up proposing to him he straight up wouldn't have believed a word, so there's that too.
the simple silver ring sits snug on his finger but nick still thumbs at it until it spins a little around his finger, before he holds a hand out to kyle. ]
It's not, y'know. monogamous. I mean obviously. [ nick's always made a big point about not ranking lovers, not choosing between one and the other, this is no different. but it's probably worth saying, what with the term marriage having a pretty specific connotation, for most people. ] You gave me a contract, he gave me a ring.
[ It's weird to even think about. Oli or otherwise. Hell, he wouldn't have ever even thought about trying but maybe that's the difference in their relationships.
He's not sure he'll know, or even sure what to think. He hadn't ever thought they'd have a permanent contract either, so there's that. He takes Nick's hand and curls his fingers against his, giving them a small squeeze. ]
I would say I can't imagine you being that way, but you have to do what's right for you, Nick. Said still worrying about you bringing brought home bloody and not wanting to give you blood again so remember that.
[ It's an attempt at a joke, even if he really does worry about Nick. A lot. ]
I'm always going to be glad if you're happy though, you know that.
