"You're leaving aren't you"

Dave sighed, turning around to face him.

"We have the money now, no need to continue faking this"

The words jabbed at his heart. Faking?! This was all....an act? He thought they had now fallen in love for real.

"Don't leave....please"

Dave held his hand and sadly smiled at him. He took off his ring and placed it on Jack's palm.

"You went through a lot. You deserve to be with someone who truly loves you"

He shook his head, hand shaking as he slid the ring back on Dave's finger.

"Stay with me. I love you. Don't you love me?"

"Jack"

"Please"

"Jack"

"Don't leave"

"Jack!"

His eyes shot open. He looks around and finds himself in the living room. He sits up and finds Dave frowning at him.

"Jack are you alright?" Dave asks, he had been in the kitchen when Jack suddenly started whimpering.

"Hm? Yeah....no, I'm not fine" was Jack's response.

Dave sat down next to him.

"Tell me what's wrong"

"I had this dream where you....you left me"

Dave nodded. The wedding date was getting close so Jack was getting anxious by each passing day, it was normal.

"It was just a dream. I'm not leaving you"

"I know but....the things you said"

"Are all wrong. Jack I'm right here, with you. Dreams are a figment of our imagination. I had a dream I had wings, but here I am, walking"

Jack chuckled.

"I guess you're right"

"Yeah, how is your cold? You've been sleeping alot these past few days"

"It's gone. I guess I'm going back to work tomorrow"

"Tomorrow's Saturday. Go get ready, we're meeting dad and the lawyers."

"Alright, give me a few minutes"

Dave watched him disappear from the top floor. He sighs. Seems like Jack's mind was full of overthinking. They should probably go to therapy for this.

"Today is the last day of fashion week. I have an early show then I go home"

Austin nodded.

"Have a fun show. By the way, do you want to have dinner tonight? Just the two of us. At a restaurant"

John's smile beamed through the screen.

"Of course! What should I wear?"

"Whatever you want"

"So if I show up in my birthday suit, you wouldn't say anything right"

Austin sighed.

"Show up in clothes John, no one wants to see that marrow"

John rolled his eyes.

"Whatever, I'll call you after the show. Later"

Austin places his phone down and his mother laughed.

"Marrow?"

He gasped.

"Mom! Stop listening to my calls!"

Everyone in the room was silent, Dave's family lawyer and Jack's lawyer were busy mumbling about who knows what.

Jack anxiously tapped the armrest of his chair while Dave bobbed his leg up and down.

"So we have a draft here. We can select the clause that suits you both best"

They nod and read the contract. Dave was almost perplexed by the clauses in this contract.

"The most simple way to put this situation is that, what belongs to Dave is his and the same to Jack. However, shall there be children involved, everything from the day they were born will be split into two shall a separation arise." Jack's lawyer speaks up.

Dave nods and reads through the rest and sighs.

"We need to decide on this before the wedding. Remember that your last name carries so much weight" Dave's lawyer whispered.

"I don't really care about that. I just want to make sure we settle this once and for all" Dave responds.

"I have a solution" Jack speaks up. Everyone turned their attention to him.

"In case of infidelity, the one who cheated should award the spouse with not less than a million. In case of divorce, each party leaves with what was theirs and the things bought together will be sold and the money will be deposited to our children's college funds. The prenuptial agreement will expire in ten years"

The lawyers nodded.

"Mr Montgomery, what do you think?"

"I agree. But instead of ten, can we make it twelve?"

"Of course"

The couple shared a smile. Now that this was settled, they can now focus on something else.

"You can both sign here"

Austin was at the restaurant waiting for John. He smiles as the waiter filled up his wine glass.

Before he could take a sip, he sees John's car park across the street and the man rushes out, running down the road.

John enters the restaurant and finds Austin by the window, he smiles and sits down.

"Sorry I'm late"

Austin waved him off.

"Strugged to find a car again?" He jokes and John chuckles.

"Something like that."

"It's nice seeing you again....you look nice"

"Thanks, I kept my promise, no birthday suit which I'm glad about because you look delicious to eat"

Austin laughs and takes a sip of his wine. The waiter pours some for John before handing the couple the menus.

"I'll have the pork rillettes" John said.

"And I'll have the shrimp ceviche"

The waiter nods and walks off after writing their orders.

"So how was Italy? Did you bring me anything?" Austin says. John smirks at him.

"I brought you something but you'll need to come to my place"

Austin scoffed.

"I see...I'm not bottoming this time"

John rolled his eyes.

"I'm not talking about sex, I honestly brought you something"

"Okay, I'm sorry"

They share a smile but they both knew, John was talking about sex.

"We also need light bulbs. The one in the kitchen keeps flickering"

Jack chuckles as he pushed the trolley behind Dave.

"The light bulbs are in aisle 21"

They pass by the kids section, Dave noticed that Jack was eyeing some of the toys. He was about to make a joke but then he realized that Jack had a rough childhood and his inner child probably never healed.

Jack watches Dave head back to the kids section, he frowns in confusion and almost laughed when the man returned with different toys, from remote control cars, lego sets, puzzles and colouring books.

"What's this?" He asks. Dave shrugged.

"For us to play with"

Jack shook his head, chuckling.

"You do realize we're grown men right?"

"So? We were once kids. Let's go"
