Change was natural after all.

Nothing stayed the same forever.

He strode down the hall and into the small kitchenette of his tiny apartment.

Frogs laid eggs. Which turned into tadpoles. Tadpoles turned into froglets, and froglets into frogs and thus the cycle continued. 

He poured himself a cup of coffee. 

Though in a way, the cycle itself never changed. He supposed that was comforting, in and of itself.

Change was constant. ‘Normal’.

He moved to his small balcony, sliding the door open and stepping out into the crisp cool air, just as the sun began to rise, painting the sky with splashes of purple and orange. 

He watched as it inched higher, checking his watch to make sure he had plenty of time before he left for the day.

He’d collect his keys… Normal.

Drive to work… Normal.

Have his ‘normal’ lunch, in his ‘normal’ spot. 

Everything about his day would be ‘normal’. 

Except for when it wasn’t. 

Except when he pulled out the very expensive ring from his very inexpensive pocket and asked his very extraordinary boyfriend to marry him. 

He took another steadying breath as he checked his watch once more. 

He supposed it wouldn’t hurt to get to work a bit earlier than usual. 

He moved back into his apartment, set his mug in the sink and collected his keys.

Yes… Today would be quite normal… until it wasn’t.
