Sebastian sighed heavily, shaking his head a little bit. "Exactly. Can you honestly tell me, if I came up to you two years ago ... Told you that Jupiter promises that we'll get married one day, you would have just ... accepted it? Not fussed over anything? Been completely, undeniably, happy for me? I know we're older by centuries, but I'm not planning on doing anything rash. That's why I did not think it was that important for me to tell you. I am not getting even engaged to him until I'm heading for my Master's Degree. I won't marry him until I am a well-respected lawyer. I am NOT having a child with him unless he'll be popping the kid out, and since I doubt that's an option... We're not getting into any family matters like that for ... YEARS."
He groaned and looked over at Tanner once more. "You didn't know that two years ago. Even if I had said it, after you saw, or I told you, about the ring, would you have listened? Listened fully and not brushed me off like some little kid who only thinks that. Or thinks time is shorter than it is. I have forever and a half to be with that bastard, I'm not rushing anything. I just didn't want you guys to jump to the conclusion that the ring meant something more than just ... showing me how much Jupiter loves me. He kept forgetting about me and the ring was to just show that he loves me. Cares for me. Thinks about me. I was positive, still am a bit, that you two would not have seen it as that, but as Jupiter taking me away from you. I can't be taken away when you have a bloody plane to come see me when you want, a room already reserved in the house for you to sleep in, another one for mom to do his sewing in ... Trust me, he's not taking me away from you."
