angel was pretty used to serving people, especially those on dates and so, he didn't pay any mind to the male couple sitting in front of him at the bar as he poured them drinks and everyone else that approached. it wasn't too busy, which was typical for a monday night but even so, he always managed to bring home a decent amount of tips. he assumed that was because he was good at what he did.

eventually, one half of the pair was sitting alone. he assumed, and maybe he shouldn't have, that they were together because they came in together but the longer the stranger sat on their own, the more he began to put the pieces together on what it was that was happening. "ready for a refill or did you want to wait for your other half?" he asked, trying to get some information out of him without seeming too nosey. after all, what they were was none of his business but they seemed nice enough and he was beginning to think he'd been ditched for the night. "you two been together long?" he was used to making small talk. he just hoped that he could distract him enough from what seemed to be happening.

falling in love had been easy for the two of them to do. telling their parents had been something completely different. they were invited to a dinner out with connor's parents and angel was taking this as an opportunity to show the man's parents how much he loved him. before connor had made his way into their shared room to get dressed, his buried the ring in the pocket of his pants. he wanted it to be a surprise for everyone and despite how nervous he was, excitement coated his features. he slowly approached his boyfriend, his hands shifting to fix the collar of his shirt. "have i ever told you how handsome you are?" he asked, grinning at the man in front of him, "if i haven't, i'll start now."
