After being dragged into the bathroom by his father, Matthew's now being bathed like a two-year-old child. Michael was scrubbing his son vigorously since hasn't showered for the past few days. His mother, on the other hand, has offered nothing for comfort, thus sending Matthew deeper into depression.

"You can visit the babies today if you want," Michael said and it seemed to finally get Matthew's attention.

"How about Drake?" he asked, the first few words to be spoken by him after a few days.

"I'm not sure. Maybe he'll be there today too," he replied as he washed down his son's hair.

Luckily, Matthew took it upon himself to dry off and get dressed.

"I should've told him that earlier," Michale muttered under his breath.

He almost spent the whole morning dragging his more than two-hundred-pound son into the pond. That is equivalent to a week worth's of workouts. Michael just changed into some fresh clothes and bid goodbye to Lorraine before driving back to the hospital with Matthew. He

    Matthew later woke up with a pounding headache. Luckily a nurse was already there to assist him. The nurse handed him a glass of water before asking him how he was. He complained about a headache so the nurse handed him some pain relief. His thoughts quickly went back to Ambrose and he started to panic once again."H-how's Ambrose?" he worriedly asked the nurse."He's stable now. We don't exactly know what caused his seizures but it was the first activity we've seen ever since he went into a coma. It could be a good or bad thing," the nurse replied."So he's still unconscious?" Matthew asked as dread filled his stomach."Unfortunately, no, but I suggest you visit him more often and talk to him. Do you need anything else?" he asked."N-no. Can I see him?" Matt asked."Sure. I'll escort you just in case you feel something odd again," the nurse replied.Matthew carefully got off the bed and followed the nurse as they walked to the elevator. Matthew was placed in the rooms a few floors un

    A few more months have passed and Ambrose still hasn't woken up despite being much more responsive than before. Matthew was slowly losing hope and he was starting to accept that Amrbsoe may no longer be part of their life. He was getting overwhelmed with taking care of two infants as well. Melanie, Lucas, and Michael have come over a few times to offer help whenever he had to be present at work.Melanie suggested hiring a nanny but Matthew was scared that he might end up being too complacent with the nanny and slowly neglect his duties as a father. As his work and children became more demanding, he finally caved and hired two after rigorous background checks. Matthew still felt guilty for not being there for his children when he was at work and his coming home when his children are asleep is definitely not helping.On his way home, Matthew decided to quickly visit Ambrose. The drive to the hospital became less dreadful the more Matthew started to accept that Ambrose may never wake up

    The next day came and Matthew decided to take a week off so he sent the nannies on a week-long break after today. He wanted to go with their parents to go and visit Ambrose now that he was awake. Melanie also voiced her worries about how they were going to tell Ambrose that his sister is gone. Matthew feels guilt about Alana's death. He kept thinking that maybe Alana was just carrying one child, she may have survived. He's scared that once Ambrose gets caught up with everything, he'll hate him. He already lost him once, he's scared that he'll lose him again once he's fully recovered. Matthew met with Lorraine and Michael in the lobby while Lucas and Melanie already went ahead to Ambrose's room. Ambrose was transferred to a lower floor since he was already awake. Matthew felt some kind of a relief seeing that Ambrose is no longer connected to a ton of wires and tubes.Their eyes met as Matthew entered the room and Ambrose hurriedly looked away with faint blush painting his cheeks.

    Ambrose stared at the ceiling, waiting for sleep to come upon him. Ever since he woke up, he felt something different about Matthew. He even felt different when he heard that the children were already born. Whatever doubts he had before have vanished. However, there is the nagging feeling that they aren't telling the truth about Alana. He knew just by looking at Matthew's face but he didn't want to dwell on it. Mostly because he still felt too tired. Ambrose is excited to see the babies, it distracts him from the fact that he can't move the lower half of his body. There is a possibility that he may never be able to walk again. Ambrose closed his eyes for the nth time in an attempt to finally fall asleep. When he opened his eyes, he was already surrounded by nurses checking on his vitals. He looked out the window and saw the sun has already risen. He let out a sigh of relief upon realizing that he actually fell asleep. One of the nurses brought up a cup of water to his lip and assist

    "Hey, son," Lucas greeted as Matthew opened the door for him.It's been almost a month since the last incident with Ambrose and Ambrose no longer wanted to see him. Lucas and Melanie visit him now and again, updating him on how Ambrose was doing. They also learned the truth about how the two decided to get married and everything else under the sun. They were shocked, of course. They always thought the two married out of love seeing how they are with each other. Ambrose was also remembering bits and pieces from his memory but he won't share which. Their parents felt bad about forcing marriage onto them. They thought wrong when they thought the two were in love. They loved each other, just not the way people thought, not until almost a year ago anyway. Maybe things would've turned out much differently than they did. "Hey," Matthew replied as he moved aside to let him in. "How is he?""He's doing great. Doing much better than the past few days. The doctor said is recovering much faster

    "I want an annulment because I want a do-over," Ambrose whispered.Matthew's head snapped toward him in confusion. "What do you mean a do-over?" he asked warily."Show me if it's worth it to marry you a second time," Ambrose said. "Fuck, Matthew. I'm supposed to be mad at you," he chuckled. "I guess it's because I know Alana wouldn't be happy if I was and I'm too old and tired to hold so much anger.""You're in your late thirties. That's not old Ambrose," Matthew chuckled.The two settled into a comfortable silence once again. Ambrose moved a bit to the side of his bed, leaving enough space for Matthew to sit beside him. Matthew didn't hesitate to take the space and Ambrose almost immediately pulled him into a kiss. It took Matthew by surprise but he didn't fight it. The two kissed until Ambrose needed to pull away to catch his breath. "Can you come back tomorrow? I have physical therapy and I want you there," Ambrose asked while his arms are still wrapped around Matthew's neck. "S

    "Ah fuck, Ambrose. Harder.""Shit, Matt. You feel so good, fuck.""Harder, please. I'm going to cum."The sounds of pounding and moaning echoed in the room, filling the air of the empty night. It didn't take long for Matthew to cum all over his chest and-*ring* *ring* *ring*Matthew groaned in annoyance and blindly grabbed his phone before answering it. "Hello?" He groggily answered."Hi, Matthew," Ambrose's voice came through the other side of the line.Matthew bolted up from his bed. "H-hey, Ambrose. You called. How are you doing? You settling at home okay?" Matthew asked as he fixed his hair as if Ambrose could see him through the phone call."Yeah, I'm doing good. It's nice being back in my childhood room," Ambrose replied.Matthew didn't know what to feel about that statement. A part of him felt happy for Ambrose and a part of him felt disappointed."That's good to hear. Can I come to visit sometime?" Matthew hesitantly asked."Ah yeah, that's why I called. Mom and dad want you

    "Why did you come home with me?" Matthew asked as he helped Ambrose settle down in his bed. "If I'm being honest, I was scared for the kids. They were in so much distress from earlier and I just had to see if they were going to be okay," Ambrose said as he laid his head down on the pillow."I'm sorry about that. I should've stayed calm knowing I had both the kids with me," Matthew apologized."You don't have to apologize. You reacted the same way any other parent would," Ambrose said as he took Matthew's hand in his. "Drake shouldn't have done what he did. I know he's grieving just like the rest of us but that doesn't really justify what he had done."Ambrose was gently caressing Matthew's hand."What do you plan to do now?" Ambrose asked."I-I don't know yet. I'll contact my lawyer tomorrow and maybe we could talk this through," Matthew said, his voice on the verge of breaking.Ambrose gently pulled Matthew on top of and that's all it took for him to break down in Ambrose's chest.

    "God, you're getting slower every year," Ambrose teased as Matthew finally was able to swim to the shore. "Fuck you," he breathed out. Ambrose chuckled and kicked sand toward Matthew who was lying down on the shore. He was too tired to even react. This is the first time in a few months that it's just the two of them and fatigue hit him like a truck just after one lap. Matthew stood up and retaliated by kicking and toward Ambrose before running back to the beach house. Ambrose only scoffed since the sand barely reached him so Matthew ran for nothing. Ambrose walked back to the beach house and found Matthew already in the shower. He carefully took off his trunks before sneaking in behind his husband and wrapping his arms around his waist. "Hi." "Hi," Matthew chuckled. Ambrose grabbed the washcloth and started washing Matthew. Matthew was enjoying it more than he liked to admit. Ambrose looked into his eyes as he dragged the washcloth around his crotch. Matthew was teasing him and

    25 years ago..."Boo!""Maty?! What the fuck? How did you get here?" Ambrose asked as he pulled Matthew inside his room."Hey, just because we're in a boarding school it doesn't mean I'll stop sneaking out," Matthew shrugged."We can both get in trouble for this, you know?" Ambrose sighed."I know.""You're the older one. You should know better," Ambrose pointed out."Yeah, well, I don't know any better so let's go," Matthew said before going out through the window again."Where are we going this time?" Ambrose asked."There's a lake nearby. I saw it on our way here," Matthew replied.The two carefully climbed out of the window, holding onto the brick walls for their dear lives. Ambrose's room was on the third floor so they carefully went down one of the columns. Matthew went ahead of him, looking around for any guards before running across the yard with Ambrose following behind him. Matthew motioned for Ambrose to climb up the wired fence before following right after him.Ambrose lan

  • Rings MxM   Epilogue

    "Happy Birthday to youuuuu~~~!!!" Everybody sang as the two little girls tried their best to blow out the candles in front of them. Everybody cheered as the flames were successfully extinguished by Nika and Naoki. After everything that they went through, they were finally able to celebrate Nika and Naoki's first birthday. Matthew removed both the candles before letting the kids go ham on the cake. Everyone was awed as the two devoured the cake, the icing smeared all over their little bodies. Matthew's eyes landed on Ambrose's face. Suddenly it felt like the first time that he realized that he was in love with his best friend. Everything seemed to be in slow motion. Seeing Ambrose's smile made his heart skyrocket out of his chest. "You're so beautiful," Matthew muttered under his breath."Huh, what was that?" Ambrose asked, leaning his ear toward Matthew. His attention was still focused on their twins enjoying their cake. Matthew's face flushed. He didn't realize that he said that

    A week passed and Matthew was finally discharged from the hospital. In the week that passed, the police found out that both the nannies were involved in the kidnapping. They were sending Drake the family's schedule and were paid a hefty amount to help them go into hiding once the crime was done. Fortunately enough, the two were quickly found. They weren't exactly doing a good job of hiding. It was also the day of the first hearing. Ambrose insisted on coming with them but Matthew refused. Now Ambrose is left at home with the kids and with his mother. Melanie has never seen Ambrose this distraught before. Despite their lawyer telling them that they have a strong case against Drake, Ambrose couldn't help but fear that Drake could still walk away from all of this scathe free. The only thing giving him strength right now is how the children are doing. It seemed that they were well taken care of under Drake's "care" and they've observed no abnormalities in their behavior so far. It seeme

    A few days had passed since the incident and the police had yet to update them on anything about the case. Matthew was looking worse for wear with each day that passes. He barely eats and this time, Ambrose was the one who was using all his strength to power both of them through. The doctors had to resort to tube feeding at one point because Matthew refused to eat or even drink. Ambrose thought that after their last conversation, Matthew would at least be talking to them but after that day, no words ever came out of his mouth again no matter how many times they tried to make him talk. They even tried getting a psychiatrist and a psychologist for him but he was still unresponsive. It also made it difficult for his wound to heal properly since his body was depleted of nutrients that he needed to recover. As Ambrose was getting ready to leave for the hospital, Lucas handed him a letter from the lab where Matthew and the kids had submitted their DNA samples. Ambrose decided that it woul

    "Mom, can you try calling Matt? He's not answering his phone," Ambrose said as his nth attempt at calling Matthew didn't work."Sure, sweetie," Melanie replied.They're returning to Matthew's house after Ambrose's therapy session. He tried to call Matthew multiple times to ask him if he was already home but all of the calls went unanswered. Ambrose could hear the ringing from his mother's phone as she tries to call Matthew. Lucas was checking him through the rearview mirror as he drove. Ambrose's face fell with disappointment and worry when Matthew did not answer Melanie's phone. Matthew's car was missing when they reached the driveway. Lucas parked the car and as soon as he did, Ambrose's phone started ringing. Ambrose saw Matthew's name on the caller's ID and answered the phone and heard an unfamiliar voice coming through the other line. "Is this Mr. Ambrose?" the voice asked."Y-yes. That's me. May I ask how you've come into possession of my husband's phone?" Ambrose asked, tryi

    Ambrose and his parents got back home and found Matthew still sleeping in the living room with the children also sleeping beside him. Another presence entered the house and it was Mr. Willow. "Sorry for showing up unannounced. I was going to talk to Matthew but I didn't want to wake him up so I'm glad you're here," he said to Ambrose. "I think it's best we have Matthew here. We can wake him up, he'll be fine," Ambrose said before asking his mom to wake Matthew up.A few minutes later, a half-asleep Matthew walked into the dining room. He plopped down onto the seat, barely conscious as to what was going on."We'll stay in the living room with the kids. Just call us if you need anything," Melanie said before leaving the dining area. "Matt, you good?" Ambrose asked."Y-yeah, huh, what?" Matthew mumbled as Ambrose slowly came into his view. "Oh, you're home." he pointed out."Yas, Matt. I'm right in front of you. Now Mr. Willow is here and we're going to talk to him," Ambrose said as h

    "I could post your bail tomorrow so you'll have to stay here for just one night. Luckily Ambrose's parents have cameras in their home that would help your case. If he cooperates well and doesn't pull any more stunts then this will be over sooner than you thought," Mr. Willow said."Am I a bad person for not wanting my daughter to be with her real father?" Matthew asked and Mr. Willow looked at him with pity."No, Matthew. You're not a bad person or a bad father. You've sacrificed so much more than any other father would. He abandoned his daughter. Blood doesn't matter here anymore. I'll try my best to keep your family together. Don't worry," he said, tapping Matthew on the shoulder.Mr. Willow was escorted out of the room and Matthew was sent back to the holding cell. He was left all alone with nothing but silence surrounding him. He was missing Ambrose terribly. Sleep didn't come to Matthew that night. Every time his eyes would close, he would just be hounded by thoughts of losing Am

    A few more days passed and they heard nothing from Drake or his lawyer. They have no way of contacting him so Matthew was just hoping that the man just gave up. Ambrose had another physical therapy session scheduled so Matthew is driving him back to his parent's home. Melanie was relieved to hear that the two patched up and had no problems with Ambrose staying over at Matthew's. It is his home anyway. Ambrose just has to do his therapy sessions over at his old home, not wanting to waste all the effort his parents made in rearranging the gym. Ambrose already noticed the scowl on Matthew's face. He knew it wasn't because of the situation with Drake, it was because of Jake coming over again. "Matt, are you making that face because Jake has to do his job," Ambrose asked with a slightly teasing tone. Matthew didn't answer but his eye twitched and that was all the answer AMbrose needed. He knew he had to make Matthew jealous again but for a different reason this time. He just wanted to m
