"What?" Ira most drops the milk.

I walk through the aisle.

"Yeah. We moved in together. " I smirk, "well, he moved to my place since it's bigger."

"That's serious, Dion."

"I'm taking it seriously."

"Yes. I know. But you've moved in before and thought it will be forever."

"Well, it wouldn't have been. But the person got really toxic.

Relationships end, Ira. It's normal.

If Caspian gets toxic ...well. then I'll deal with it.

But he really feels so different. I feel very secure with him."

"Maybe cause he's a lawyer. And he can get you out of prison."

I laugh. "Sure. At least I know I have a specialist in the house.

Listen, we've talked about it.

Just the usual boring talk. Yeah, i like. I think i know you.

Do you want to take the next step? I said yes.

Because how else do you test a good relationship then living together? "

"No. You are right.

It's different to see each other three times a week and then everyday, morning, evening.

Good days, depressing days."

"Exactly."

"Sure. let me know how it is."

"Yeah, I'll give you the info."

"Won't you mind sharing your space?"

"Not at all.

At least it will stop being so lonely."

"Your place is huge. I would he scared to live there."

"I know. It gets scary.

Now I will have a company.

And if it goes well, we can get a pet."

"I thought you'll say a baby."

I smile. "Sure. Why not.

If we get to the stage ... I wouldn't mind having kids. "

"I thought you don't want them."

"Why does everyone think that?

I just didn't want kids because I was young and felt unprepared.

Now I'm ...slowly getting ready.

I think, i could be a father.

If Caspian is the right one, we could make it work."

"No. You can't have kids sooner then me.

Don't be like your mother." Ira cries out.

I laugh. "sorry. Then you'll have to marry Orson sooner and get a kid.

But i would say you have max year and half.

If me and Caspian work out,I doubt it will take us both longer."

"Year and half to get him a ring and a baby.

Oh my.

I don't even know if he wants these things "

"Do you?"

"It's not my priority." He smiles. "But ...it's sort of expected "

"Doesn't mean you need to do it "

"Hm ... You will probably get a child sooner than me "

I go to the cashier. "You'll be a Grand.... uncle?"

"At like thirty six( he's 34 now , plus those two years, 36😛) ? Sounds like a nightmare.

Why don't I already go dig up my grave. "

"Yeah, well. You get what you get." I shrug. "At least you'll be the coolest uncle."

"True." He smiles proudly.

---

I get home to Caspian cooking. It's strange coming to a house that's unlocked, with music playing and delicious smell in the hall.

It feels like true home.

"Hey." I kiss him on the next, "what is it?"

"The guy I saw the court today?" He jokes.

I laugh. "Oh no. What did he do?"

"Don't even ask. I hate those people."

"Am I next on list"

He smirks. "I can eat you."

"Mr. Gray. Please, this is a family house." I bring his hips to mine, "behave or I'll have to escort you from the room."

"Wait. I'll get it burned."

He goes to the stove.

"Let me taste it." He holds out a spoon. "Mmm, delicious."

" Am I a good boyfriend?"

"God wife. Yes." I nod at him satisfied.
