“Tony called Eric our mate and broke him,” Beck stated.
Freddie took a seat next to us and squeezed my calf. “That’s ok, right? Can we think of you as our mate?”
“I…” I blew out a long breath. “I’ve thought of you as my mates for a couple of weeks, but I was scared to say it.”
Beck kissed my hair. “Why were you scared?”
“I don’t know.”
Freddie chuckled. “I get it. Sometimes it’s scary to put a label on things. But… is it ok? Can we call you our mate, or are you not ready for that?”
“I want that,” I whispered.
“So do we,” Beck replied as he rested his cheek against my hair. “Our gorgeous mate.”
“Are we allowed to call Eric our mate?” Tony called from where he stood on the counters.
“We can,” Ian shot back, “you have to finish cleaning the cabinets first.”
Tony laughed. “I can live with that.”
Ian walked over, leaned in, and kissed my hair. “Our mate.”
“It feels… forever,” I murmured.
“And moving in with us doesn’t?” Ian asked.
“That’s true.”
“Forever is ok, isn’t it?” Freddie asked.
I nodded. “It sounds nice… wonderful really.”
“It does,” Beck agreed.
“How did I fall for you guys so fast?” I asked softly.
Ian plopped onto the floor beside us. “Are you trying to say something?” he teased.
My face heated as I realized what I’d said. “I love you guys.”
“I think it’s safe to say we all love you too,” Freddie replied.
“No argument here,” Tony called from the kitchen.
I chuckled. “It feels so fast, but right.”
“There’s no right or wrong speed,” Freddie said. “It happens as it happens.”
I hummed in response.
“Anybody got a pen and paper?” Tony called.
“Why?” Ian asked.
“I’m going to leave a note up here with today’s date noting when it was cleaned.”
“That’s evil,” Beck laughed. “Are you trying to get somebody in trouble in the future for not cleaning good enough?”
