“Is mom staying for dinner?” Because that would be the perfect time to make the announcement. Gemma knew Connor had been planning on proposing but he didn’t know he’d already proposed with a twisty tie.

“Yeah. And since we didn’t do family thanksgiving, we’re having a thanksgiving menu.” Connor had made up an excuse to stay back in Philly. There had been too much going on and his family would probably know something was up.

Connor grinned at the mention of the dinner menu. Gemma was an amazing cook. When their father left, Connor became the man of the house and Gemma took on the role of housewife since their mom was way too depressed to do much for a while. The two raised each other, which explains how and why they’re so close.

“But yeah, two hours. That means you have two hours to settle in and freshen up.”

It was about one thirty in the afternoon which meant everyone would be at the house around three thirty or four and they’d make small talk before dinner. Gemma really thought this through.

“Guest room?” Asks Connor.

Gemma nods, “Same one as always.”

With his backpack over his shoulder, his suitcase handle in one hand and a capri sun in the other, Connor leads the way to the guest room.

Oliver remained silent as the two talked about whether their mother was going to be around for dinner and then discussed the dinner menu for the evening. He couldn’t help the hum of approval as he thought about mashed potatoes and stuffing. As much as he didn’t really like the holidays prior to Connor seeing as how he was alone most of them, he had grown to at the very least appreciate them.

“Two hours sounds like plenty of time,” he responded with a warm smile and turned to follow Connor into the room with his share of the bags in tow.

When they moved into the room, he set the bags down to the side on the floor. When both of them didn’t have bags, he moved to wrap his arms around Connor, pressing a tender kiss to the nape of his neck. “I love you,” he whispered adoringly, he joy he was feeling in the moment quite evident.

“The kids are fine. Excited to have their uncle and his boyfriend visit.” Gemma knew early on that she wasn’t going to hide Connor’s sexuality from her kids. If they were exposed it from a young age, they wouldn’t find it strange later on and that’s exactly how it played out. The kids were still in elementary school but they were very vocal about how they viewed homosexuality. Connor was thankful for that. That was one of the many things that made Gemma great.

“Is mom in town?” Their mother had a new boyfriend and was often traveling. Oliver hadn’t met her yet. “Where’s your husband, by the way? Work?” Probably. The guy was a surgeon and was gone most of the time. How Gemma handled raising two kids, keeping the house spotless and juggling her job was beyond Connor’s comprehension. His sister was his role model.

He doesn’t wait for an answer, waltzing his way into the kitchen to grab something to drink. This family always had a stocked fridge, anything from beer to Capri Sun. He grabs two Capri Suns, tossing one over to Oli.

Oliver couldn’t hide how excited he got from the fact that the kids were excited to see him almost as much as they were to see Connor. “Well, I’m excited to see them too. It’s been too long since we’ve visited. I think we’ll have to figure out how to see you all more often. I know Connor misses you,” he started to say, but shut himself up before he could potentially ramble into spoiling the surprise reason as to why they visited in the first place.

“Yes, she is, but I told her you two were coming an hour or two later than expected. I figured I’d give you both time to decompress from the trip before being bombarded with stories from her and her boyfriend’s recent trip to Cabo,” she responded. “As for the hubby, yes, he’s at work. Should be home around the same time as mom.”

Oliver caught the Capri Sun tossed at him and shook his head as he gazed at his partner. He was glad he had Connor in his life. He would never do anything whimsical like pick up a juice pouch just because he could.

“We’re so happy to get out of Pennsylvania.” Says Connor, stepping inside once his sister moves out of the way. The weather was crazier in Michigan than it was in Pennsylvania but the people were less crazy. There was no drama here, no lies, no murder. It was quiet and Connor needed that more than anyone following Wes’s death.

“Where are the kids?” Connor asked his sister but she was busy greeting Oliver.

“Did he drive you crazy the whole way here?” Gemma asked Oliver, offering to help him with his bags. “He drives me crazy.” At least once a week Gemma got a call from her brother. “What did you say Connor?”

Connor shakes his head. “It’s barely 1. School, right?”

Oliver followed Connor inside Gemma’s home, smiling a bit more as he looked around the entrance of the house. Despite how rarely he had been there, it had a homey feel to him. Maybe because it was Connor’s family and they treated him as if he were already a part of it.

He grinned and shook his head as he heard his future sister-in-law speak to him. “No, he didn’t. That’s reserved for when he needs a little extra help on a case or is just feeling needy in general,” he teased and lightly nudged his side.

“Oh, I’ve got the bags. Thank you, though,” he stated as he moved to hug her and give her a hello kiss on the cheek. “How have you been doing? How are the kids?”

If there was one person in this world that Connor Walsh was close to, it was his older sister. She’d been receiving daily calls from him about Oliver and how happy he was. Gemma knew Connor flunked out last semester before anyone else knew. She knew Connor wanted to propose, she just didn’t know Connor had already proposed.

Connor parks his SUV in the driveway. He gets out of the car and calls out to Oliver who is out of it. “Oliver!” He says again and raises a brow when Oliver snaps back into reality. “Hopefully thoughts about me. Naked.” He shoots his boyfriend a smile and closes the car door, walking around the back to get their bags.

Gemma had heard them pull up so she was standing at the door to greet her brother and his boyfriend. Connor tosses a backpack strap over his shoulder and grabs the handle of their shared suitcase, rolling it behind him as he walks up the driveway to the door. “I know, I know, you missed me.” Says Connor, wide grin on his lips. He lets go of the rolling suitcase so he can wrap his arms around his sister.

Oliver laughed awkwardly as he noticed his fiance’s expression, scratching the back of his head nervously. “Uh, yeah, definitely of you. And now I’m thinking of you naked and suddenly I’m perfectly fine again,” he chuckled before he got out of the car.

He walked back to help get the bags, grinning lovingly at Connor. Despite all of his nerves, he was excited to be spending the weekend with Connor and his family. He knew they at the very least liked him. Whether they approved or not was a different story, but he knew things would be okay.

He followed Connor on his way to the house, grinning affectionately as he watched Connor greet his sister. He stayed silent so they could have their moment.

Oliver drew in a deep breath as Connor pulled up to the home where Connor’s sister, Gemma, resided. They had gone out to visit her together to tell her about their engagement in person, and, while Oliver had met her several times and adored her, he was still nervous, especially given how Connor’s dad reacted to him. And if Gemma didn’t approve, he was scared Connor would have his doubts. Connor’s sister meant so much to him. If Oliver didn’t get her approval...

He was snapped out of his thoughts when Connor called his name again and he blinked himself back into reality. He turned to face his fiance and smiled. “Sorry, got lost in thought.”

Don’t let go.

                           I wont.

[jackson-falahee]

Of course I want to get married. You do? Yes! I want us to have kids and a house and a dog and grow old and die within a week of each other. But I want to say “yes” because we’re in a good place, not because you’re afraid that I’m going to jail or someone’s going to kill us, but because things are normal and good and we’re happy just being boring old us. For once, I want to do something the right way.

I should’ve broken up with you, Ollie…a long time ago. I should’ve rejected you or made you hate me, but instead I just needed you. I need you, too.

[thetjhammond-deactivated2021031]

“Have you told anyone?”

“I see.”

“You’re worried I’ll tell Connor.”

[thetjhammond-deactivated2021031]

“Right. Of course! How could I forget? I’m TJ Hammond. I’m all about casual sex and I could never be in a serious relationship.”

“Fuck you, Oliver!”

[xoliverxhamptonx]

“Then why the fuck would you still have all of those apps like Grindr and Humpr or whatever the fuck it is still!?”

“I just got out of a relationship! I’m sorry I’m at a difficult spot, but you’ve got to try too!”

[thetjhammond-deactivated2021031]

“Have you told anyone?”

“I see.”

“You’re worried I’ll tell Connor.”

[thetjhammond-deactivated2021031]

“So this is suddenly my fault?”

“How am I supposed to treat you when we’re not fucking you’re talking about some other guy? The only time I get you to shut up about Connor is when I’m balls deep in you.”

[xoliverxhamptonx]

“That’s not what I said.”

“Are you honestly looking for someone that’s more than a fuck buddy? Can you honestly say that you want to try for a serious relationship with me or anybody else?”

[thetjhammond-deactivated2021031]

“Have you told anyone?”

“I see.”

“You’re worried I’ll tell Connor.”

[thetjhammond-deactivated2021031]

“Well, what am I supposed to say? You talk more about Connor than you do about yourself.”

[xoliverxhamptonx]

“I’m sorry that he’s a huge part of my life. No matter what, he always will be.”

“And you’ve treated me as anything but a hook up, so...”

“I have. We’ve both been studying each other it seems like,” Connor mused, nodding. “I know that you wouldn’t keep me around this long if you didn’t want to. It doesn’t fit with any of your other patterns. You must have a soft spot for me,” he smirked. “Can’t get caught together. You leave first, I’ll be right behind you.” 

[xoliverxhamptonx]

“Mm, I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have a soft spot for you. I mean, you’re incredibly intelligent, cunning, very pretty,” he cooed with an easy grin on his lips. “Alright. I’ll let you know what room number to go to after I book it. See you soon, gorgeous.” He winked and playfully blew a kiss at him as he left the cafe.

[thetjhammond-deactivated2021031]

“Have you told anyone?”

“I see.”

“You’re worried I’ll tell Connor.”

[thetjhammond-deactivated2021031]

“You might as well have.”

“But it doesn’t matter. It’s not like we’re dating. He doesn’t have to know.”

[xoliverxhamptonx]

“I’ve only said there was someone I’m seeing. Whether it’s dating or hook ups, it doesn’t concern him.”

“Yeah, you’ve made me more than aware of that.”
