Despite every paranoid muscle in his body telling him otherwise, It was clear to Maddox that Cyrus liked the way that one word sounded if the way he repeated it was anything to go off of. One simple word that shouldn't have carried so much meaning, but did.

Of course, nothing was ever simple between them and this was more than just a word. It was a string that attached them in defiance to their initial rule being "no-strings-attached". It was a one-word confirmation that reminded them that their attempts to remain nothing more than "fuck buddies" had been in vain. And maybe at some point during their journey that brought them to this moment, Maddox would have minded, but the way Cyrus smiled as he nervously set his wine glass down told him maybe he had no reason to mind at all.

There was a pause during which Maddox, eyebrow raised in question, examined Cyrus' every feature. A face that months ago would have been nothing more than another cute stranger in the sea of many. A face that, according to the Greek hierarchy, was destined to be his enemy. The kind of guy the Beta president always warned not to make friends with in order to protect their precious reputation. The guy Maddox had so easily fallen in love with.

The thought came just as smoothly as the previous words had, driving the Beta to gulp down whatever was left of the red liquid in his cup. There were very few days on which Maddox acted on nothing but instinct, and today had been one of them. From the vocal confirmation of his more than just sexual feelings for Cyrus to the first time, he'd been able to admit to himself that he was not jumping to conclusions but he was in fact in love with Cyrus James. It was real. As real as the feelings of a man who had never been given love and had never been in love could be. Granted, it was just as terrifying now as it had been when it was nothing more than a possibility. The difference between then and now was that sitting here across from Cyrus, a smile on his face and baby blues filled with surprise as he scrambled for what to respond made it clear to Maddox that this had never been a one-sided battle.

”You know, considering you’re a Beta, I thought you’d have a better way of asking me to be your boyfriend. What if I said no?” a soft chuckle left Maddox, his dark browns more sincere than they had ever been, even during his drunken confessions from just a few nights ago. "Who said I'm asking?" though it may have sounded like a statement of confidence, in reality, Maddox hadn't asked because he wasn't prepared for the possible rejection. However, after seeing Cyrus' reaction, any and all worries vanished into the smoke coming from their table's candles. "Besides, even if I had. You would have said yes." he stated as he picked up the almost emptied wine bottle and poured himself another glass. "I just figured I'd save us bot the time."

His smirked mixed in with the red wine between his fingers carefully hid the fact that this was the most vernous, but also the happiest he'd felt in a very long time.
