Chapter 6 Building A Life Together

As the days turned into weeks, Ethan and Liam's relationship continued to blossom. They spent their days exploring the city, trying new restaurants, and just enjoying each other's company.

Ethan had never felt this way about anyone before. He was deeply in love with Liam, and he knew that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with him.

One day, as they were walking through the park, Liam turned to Ethan and said, "I've been thinking... maybe we should start building a life together."

Ethan's heart skipped a beat at Liam's words. He had been thinking the same thing, but he hadn't dared to hope that Liam felt the same way.

"What did you have in mind?" Ethan asked, trying to sound casual.

Liam smiled, his eyes shining with excitement. "I was thinking we could start by finding a new place to live," he said. "Something bigger, with a yard."

Ethan's heart soared at the thought of building a life with Liam. He knew that this was just the beginning of their journey together.

Over the next few weeks, Ethan and Liam spent their days house hunting. They looked at dozens of properties, but nothing seemed quite right.

One day, as they were driving through a quiet neighborhood, Liam pointed to a beautiful old house on the corner. "Look, Ethan," he said. "That one."

Ethan's heart skipped a beat as he looked at the house. It was perfect – big, beautiful, and with a stunning yard.

"Let's go take a look," Ethan said, his voice filled with excitement.

As they walked through the house, Ethan knew that this was it. This was the place where they would build their life together.

Liam seemed to sense Ethan's excitement, and he smiled as they walked through the house. "What do you think?" he asked.

Ethan turned to him, his eyes shining with tears. "I think this is it," he said. "This is our home."

Liam's face lit up with a smile, and he pulled Ethan into his arms. "I think you're right," he said.

As they stood there, wrapped in each other's arms, Ethan knew that he had found his forever home. He was home with Liam, and he knew that he would never be alone again.

Over the next few weeks, Ethan and Liam worked tirelessly to make their new house a home. They spent their days painting, decorating, and just enjoying each other's company.

As they worked, Ethan couldn't help but feel grateful for Liam. He was his rock, his partner, and his best friend.

One day, as they were working in the yard, Liam turned to Ethan and said, "I have something important to ask you."

Ethan looked up at him, curious. "What is it?" he asked.

Liam took a deep breath before responding. "I want to spend the rest of my life with you," he said. "Will you marry me?"

Ethan's heart soared at Liam's words. He had been hoping for this moment for months, and he couldn't believe that it was finally here.

"Yes, yes, a million times yes," Ethan said, tears of joy streaming down his face.

As Liam placed the ring on Ethan's finger, Ethan knew that he had found his soulmate. He was home with Liam, and he knew that he would never be alone again.
