one more thing - SETH

[EVERETT LEONARDO JEFFERSON.]

There was nothing wrong with living in California. The hot days made summer seem to last longer, and the night breeze was just the perfect temperature they could leave all of the windows open and just smell the ocean air. They were living in paradise. Ignoring the fact that school was going to start soon - which meant exams and tests and anxiety on Ev's part - and working in a small business made things really easygoing and lenient which made everything that much more relaxing. Not to mention, Ev was really never more than out of Seth's sight really ever. He was the only person Ev could spend twenty four hours with without getting irritated or tired of him. Ev wished he could speak his feelings without tearing up or stuttering, or if he could just show Seth how dear to him he was. In a way he did, with a ring and all. But, Ev pondered and thought about what he could have done different. Something a little more genuine, more sentimental. As he slowly twisted his own ring around his finger, Ev decided maybe he could redo it.

The only problem would be getting Seth's ring from him. He quietly watched Seth the few days after deciding to redo his proposal, taking note when Seth took his ring off. Showering, cooking, or washing dishes were the main times the ring came off. Even then, it was within sight. There would be no way Ev could take the ring, even if Seth looked away for just a few seconds because as soon as his tasks were done the ring would immediately return to Seth's finger. It was almost frustrating, because Ev wanted to surprise Seth. At the same time, he didn't want Seth to have a heart attack and be broken hearted over thinking he lost his ring. Ev had fallen into his usual too-much-thinking behavior. Less eating, less talking, more staring at nothing in particular. Even the dogs got the cold shoulder when Ev was busy thinking. And when it finally struck him, in the shower of all places, Ev nearly broke his neck stumbling out of the shower to grab his towel and run to tell Seth his idea (without every detail, of course).

"seTH!" He was still fixing the towel around his waist when he ungracefully entered the room. "We haven't gone camping yet!" The tone of his voice was somewhat frantic and surprised. His dampened blonde hair looked a golden color as it drooped over one of his eyebrows at an awkward angle from the weight of the water on it. "We should go. Before, you know. School starts and before it gets too cold." The concern in his eyes added to the seriousness of his voice, though he was actually thinking about how he could still get that ring off of Seth. He hoped his idea would work. Because if it didn't, Ev would be out of ideas.

Seth had always found that the best thing to do when Ev got into one of his deep thought modes was to let him be, let him mull over whatever he was mulling over and not be too invasive. Because eventually, the smaller boy would figure out whatever he was trying to figure out, and there was really no point in meddling (even if Seth was exceptionally good at it). He just carried on as usual, reading his way through the 'travel' section of the library (he was in Greece, now, tasting the sea and crispy calamari), cooking eggs for breakfast, running Windsor along the sandy beach, climbing to curl around Ev whenever he started to feel a bit too cold or lonely.

The thing about their relationship, he'd realized, was that they could say as much through silence as they could aloud, and so even though things had certainly been quieter lately, he didn't feel like an especial amount of conversation was being missed out on. He was happy, and Ev was happy, and any time he started to feel like maybe that happiness was slipping a little bit he would reach over and twist the ring on his finger and smile. No matter what, this was forever; that ring was his most prized possession - he rarely took it off and, when he did, he never let it out of his sight for very long. Seth was good at losing things, but this ring was not going to fall victim to that trait.

It was another, languid in sunny California when Ev finally popped out of his little bubble, and Seth went sprawling off the sofa when a sharp, unexpected shout rang through the house, followed quickly by the appearance of a soaking wet, towel-clad Ev. Seth blinked a couple times, slowly lifting his head to stare wide-eyed at his fiancée. "What?" he rasped. He swallowed thickly, pushing himself unceremoniously up off the carpet and looking around to see where his book had gone, "camping?"

He finally located the travel guide on the other side of the coffee table, and went to pick it up, shoving his hair off his face when it fell over his eyes. Having had a moment to collect himself, now, he turned to Ev and grinned. "Hey, that's not a bad idea! We haven't been camping in a while, have we?" He dropped the book onto the coffee table, starting to pace excitedly around the room."We haven't even explored that much! Wow, you know, California must have great camping, too, with the beach and all the views... we should go tomorrow!"

It wasn't uncommon for Ev to stop everything he was doing because of a thought. Most of those times he'd instantly run to wherever he assumed Seth would be, busting into the room shouting his name. Every time was about the same reaction. Whatever was in Seth's hand would go flying and, in special cases, hit one of the dogs even. Ev went back to the times he'd do that. It wasn't really on purpose, just reaction. He wouldn't want to forget what he was thinking and therefore had to tell Seth (that meant really getting his attention) before the thought was gone. Seth's reactions never really hit Ev until later on, where he'd have to hold back laughter since usually it was late past bedtime and he'd be the only one still awake.

There he was, standing au naturel (or mostly), his hair dripping on his nose and his heart pumping excitement running through his veins. He stared as Seth gathered himself. As the realization of camping sank in, Ev watched the excitement grow. Like giving water to a seed and watching it grow in fast motion. And just like that, Ev's plan was... planted.

The mere grin on Seth's face was all it took to snatch any doubt in Ev's mind away. This was going to work. They were going to go camping. Ev quickly continued behind Seth as he paced, nodding and leaning to the side a little to try and get a look at his face. "Yeah! I mean... School is starting soon, and... With work, we won't be able to - you know - go anywhere for long. We should plan a couple of nights." With one hand holding a bunched up bit of his towel to hold it up, Ev lifted his other hand. "Oh, but somewhere nice! Like really nice. Like look in your travel books, " He glanced over at the shelf of books Seth had collected over a seemingly short time as he spoke, "And find your favorite place in California. And we'll go there. Somewhere really relaxing where it could just be us two, you know?" Ev did his best to lock eyes with Seth, but didn't want to stare for too long. Sometimes there was a disadvantage to know so much about one another, Ev wasn't sure if Seth would catch on to Ev having to hide something so precious from him. He looked down at his towel, which was starting to unravel again, and as he busied his hands pulling it back together around his waist, he spoke. "Somewhere maybe we can take the surf boards or maybe catch starfishes or maybe somewhere we can take the hammock and sleep outside if it's nice tomorrow night." Ev slowly made his way back into the bedroom to get dressed. "Go ahead and start looking!"
