"Once upon a time, not so long ago...."

I sat alone at home, in my pyjamas, staring at the screen of my phone. Tears streamed down my face as the messages pooled into my inbox. I never understood why people could have so much hate towards an individual.

I put my phone on the coffee table, screen side down, before I leaned back to bring my hands to my face.

"Why?" I mumbled through my hands and between my sobs. I heard the bell ring and instantly wiped my tears from my face. A man should not be crying anyways.

I stood up and walked over to the door. Peering through the side window, I saw a familiar masculine face.

"Kelly!" I opened the door before embracing my boyfriend.

"Timothy!" He exclaimed as he dropped the bags he was carried to wrap his arms around me. His warm embrace soothed me. Being with him calmed me and reminded me that I was loved - regardless of who I was.

"You brought presents?" I questioned as I broke of the hug that would undoubtedly last a lifetime.

"Uh. Yeah." Kelly looked to the bags he had dropped before picking them back up. "I thought you might be hungry." He smiled bashfully as a pink tint appeared upon his rosy cheeks.

"You know me well!" I smirked before taking one of the two bags off of him and into the kitchen. "Let's see what is in here~?" I then proceeded to unveil what was in the bag I had carried over. Kelly brought the other bag to me, upon seeing me opening them like a child opening presents on their birthday, he decided to walk into the living room. The room that had my phone in it.

"Timmy?" He called and I ran to him like an excited little puppy. Though I stopped in my tracks when I saw him holding up my rose gold iPhone. The screen illuminated his face and my heart began to beat quickly as the messages reflected upon his glasses.

"I-I...." Tears pooled in my eyes before rushing down my cheeks like little convicts escaping the prison that were my eyes.

"Why didn't you tell me that you were being bullied?" He put down my phone and instantly came to me. He wrapped his muscular arms around me as I laid my head upon his chest. My tears soaked into his shirt.

"I don't know..." I wept, embarrassed that I - a man - was crying.

"Look at me." He lifted my head so our eyes met. "Ignore them. Ignore society. If they don't like who you are, then so be it. But they don't know what they're missing!" He smiled at me before pressing his thick warm lips upon my soft thin lips.

I wrapped my arms around his body and he tightened his embrace. I smiled through the kiss. Despite the tears that continued to run down my cheeks, I was happy to be with him.

"Society can't hold us down. Let's go do something that defies society and their expectations of a perfect human." He pulled back and smiled before outstretching his hand to me.

"Let's do this!" I wiped away my tears and laughed a bit as I failed at trying to be funny. I grabbed his hand, it was rough from all the construction work that he does. I'm glad he's mine.

Kelly smiled before whisking me off my feet and carrying me to his red mustang convertable. This was his second baby, after me of course.

"We're taking Ruby?" I looked at him with wide sparkly eyes.

"Yes. Only the best for my baby~." He nodded before placing my fragile body into the passenger side of the car. I watched as he then walked over to the other side of the car and sat down in the driver's side of the vehicle.

He then started the car before leaving the driveway. I was so excited, I had no idea what he meant by defying society, but as long as I'm with him. I'd do anything for him.

He parked on the outskirts of the park, next to the park was a canyon. It was smaller than the Grand Canyon, but it was still Grand to us. He smiled at me and held onto my hand.

I smiled back at him, I didn't know why being at the park defied society. He got out of the car and walked over onto my side. Opening the door like the gentleman he is, he held out his hand so that I could grab it. I took his hand and smiled. He then lead me over towards a small hill that over looked the town beyond the canyon. Just as the sun began to set, he took my hands and looked into my eyes. I - in turn - looked into his eyes and smiled, probably like an idiot.

"Timothy," my eyes widened as he got down onto one knee. "Will you, take me, Susan Kelly, to be your husband?" His voice echoed through my mind.

"Yes!" I exclaimed excitedly. "I do."

"Great," he pulled out a ring and slid it on my left hand's ring finger. "Because I do too, for you."

He then got up and pulled me closer. The warmth of his chest warmed my cold body. He wrapped his arms around me and leaned in closer.

"I love you Timothy, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you." His warm breath rush past my ear, sending tingly sensations throughout the system. "Do you trust me?" He asked, I pulled away and looked into his eyes.

"That's a stupid question." I uttered as my voice shook. "Of course I trust you." I then slammed my lips against his as I passionately kissed him, he kissed me back deeply as well. He broke the kiss and smiled down upon me.

"Take my hand and never let go." He looked at me as he held out his hand. I gripped it tightly and smiled.

"I will never let go." I smiled, words cannot describe how much I love this man.

Together, while still holding hands, we got into the convertible and stared out into the distance. It was just us, two gay men sitting in a car, staring at the beautiful colours of the sky as the sun made its descent. Kelly started the car and backed up slowly. He looked at me and smiled. I looked into his deep hazel brown eyes and smiled. He then floored it, leaping into the sky, and flying high into the sunset.

I held onto Kelly's hand as we floated through the air like two angels on our way to heaven. The air was fresh and clear. For a moment, all was silent and it was just the two of us. Kelly and me against the world.

We were two men in love, defying society's expectations on the perfect person. We were living on a prayer, halfway to a world where we would be accepted. To a world where we could live happily together forever.

This may be the end, but...

The end is only the beginning.
