Expect the unexpected had become something of a life motto for Steve with everything he went through over the past few years and he foolishly believed not much could surprise him any longer. How incredibly wrong he had been because with wide eyes he listened to both Sam and Tony talk. The ring box almost paling everything else around them. What. They were proposing to him? On his birthday? With a ring that looked beautiful.

Okay, it couldn't be technically legal being there were three of them but this made it official for them. To think no one ever wanted or looked twice at him growing up but now he had two people who wanted to be with him. Fully and completely.

Lump rising in his throat, he gave a nod of his head as he tried to compose himself. "Yes, I want - yes." He needed another moment. "I love both of you so much. Yes. I want this." The ultimate in commitment. "The ring is - wow."
