Ray looked back, honest and open, and when he saw the ring go on Asher's finger, everything else he'd felt that day paled in comparison to the swell of emotion right then. Nothing could explain why they both realised their feelings for each other today but Ray was definitely of the opinion that it was better late than never.

He carded his fingers through Asher's hair, held him there as he returned the kiss, slowing it down, deepening it into something meaningful and memorable. There were a million and one things he wanted to do with Asher but all of that could wait until tomorrow. Ray knew he was right where he was meant to be tonight.

It took him several attempts to break the kiss and when he did, his voice as low and languid. "This was some day, huh?" Exhilirating. Exhausting. Exceptional. Ray hoped it was the first of many to come.
