Of Delayed Engagements and Messy Proposals

So, basically, the following prompt with Malec, but turned Angst with a Happy Ending.Prompt: My brother to his boyfriend: where are you going?Boyfriend: well, I'M going SHOPPING. I'm gonna go buy MYSELF something for my birthday since YOU didn'tBrother: I told you, I got you a gift but it won't be ready till FridayBoyfriend: mhm, okay, sureMe, knowing full well my brother got him an engagement ring and it's getting sized and will be ready on Friday.___He hates that’s he’s feeling this way. Alexander shows him he loves him every day, in so many different ways. He is one of the best partners he’s had in his long life. So why does it hurt when by the time his birthday comes, he gets nothing? Maybe he should dial it back, he has gotten too used to something that couldn’t stay good forever, he’s gotten too greedy. He already has been given more than enough, way more than what he got when he was with Camille anyways.
