Chapter 32
“Syd, you here?” Michael called when he arrived home that evening.
“Yeah.” She called from their bedroom. Michael walked back and found her changing into her sweats.
“Hey, can we talk?” Michael asked. A panicked look crossed her face. “It’s not bad I swear.”
“Oh ok, what’s up?” She asked.
He pulled her into the bed where they sat down. “Nathan told me what he said to you.”
“Oh...,” She sighed. “I never thought you’d dump me though.”
“What? He told you I was going to dump you?!” Michael gasped.
“Yeah... what did he tell you that he told me?”
“About my college... missteps,” Michael said quietly.
“Oh, yeah, he said that too.” She sighed.
“I just wanted to say I was sorry.”
“Sorry for what?”
“Being... a player...,” he said quietly.
Sydney laughed. “You don’t have to apologize for that. It’s in the past. You were just a young stupid kid.”
“Thanks.” He rolled his eyes slightly.
“It’s fine, really, I swear.” Sydney assured him.
“Good, I love you.” He smiled.
“I love you too.” She said as she leaned in and kissed him. Michael rolled back on the bed and pulled her down with him. She giggled. “Michael it’s like five in the afternoon.”
“And?”
“Nothing.” She smiled.

“Hey Nate, what’s up?” Michael asked when he called the Bristow residence and Nathan answered the phone.
“Bored out of my mind.” Nathan groaned.
“And you’ve only been here six days, imagine that.” Michael laughed. “You wanna come out with me?”
“Yeah sure.” Nathan said.
“Great I’ll be there to pick you up in like fifteen minutes ok?”
“Ok...,” Nathan said.
~*~
“So, how’d you manage to get free of Syd for the afternoon?” Nathan smirked as he got into Michael’s car.
“Excuse me, I don’t need her permission to go out...”
“Yet,” Nathan interjected.
“...and she’s with Nadia...,” Michael said.
“Who’s Nadia?”
“Syd’s best friend... or one of her good friends anyway. From college.” Michael told him.
“Ah ok, so where are we going anyway?” Nathan asked.
“Ring shopping.” Michael smiled.
“Seriously?!” Nathan asked excitedly.
“Yeah... I mean if you wanna come...”
“Oh yeah, I gotta make sure you don’t pick out something ugly for my sister,” Nathan said.
“Excuse me, I have taste.” Michael defended.
“Yeah...”
“But I am on a budget.” Michael said.
“Budget? You’re a freakin doctor!” Nathan exclaimed.
“Six months out of medical school with more tuition loans than I care to count.” He groaned.
“Oh... right. Forgot bout that. Didn’t your parents help you?” Nathan asked.
“They paid for everything before medical school.” Michael told him.
“Ah.”
“Yeah my dad was of the mind that since he paid for his I paid for mind. Something about a hard earned dollar... I dunno I stopped listening once he told me he wasn’t going to give me any money.” Michael laughed.
“Nice.” Nathan laughed.
“Yeah... So do you know how long you’ll have before you can come back again?”
“No, not really.” Nathan sighed. “Maybe not THAT long though, because some of the guys are getting released from duty.”
“Oh that would be nice.” Michael said.
“Yeah... but I don’t know what I’d do if I came back.” He laughed.
“You could always go back to school. I’m sure the credits you have are still valid. And doesn’t the army like pay you for school?” Michael asked.
“Yeah... I could do that. I dunno. I’ll cross that bridge when I get to it.” Nathan shrugged.
“Ok good, first stop.” Michael said as he pulled into the parking lot of a jewelry store.
“Do you even know what you’re looking for?”
“No, but I’ll know it when I see it.” Michael said.
“Great we’re going to be here forever.” Nathan groaned.
“Oh I’m sorry, am I interfering with your pressing social calendar?”
“Yeah, yeah shut up.” Nathan said as he got out of the car.
Michael didn’t find anything he liked at that jewelry store or the next one or the one after that. Soon, he and Nathan were both growing frustrated and bored.
“Mike, seriously, these rings ALL look the same.” Nathan groaned. “Please pick one.”
“No... they don’t look the same. I haven’t found the perfect one yet.” Michael said as he glanced over at Nathan who looked weary and a little angry. “Ok, ok this is the LAST place I swear.”
“Good.” Nathan said.
“Can I help you sir?” The clerk behind the counter asked.
“Yes, I’m looking for an engagement ring.” Michael said.
“Oh wonderful. This is our selection of yellow gold engagement rings. Over here we have white gold and platinum. What were you interested in?”
“White gold, definitely.” Michael smiled. Michael looked down to where the clerk was pointing and looked closely at all the rings. There, in the center of the case, he saw it. “Can I see that one?” He pointed down through the glass.
The clerk showed him the ring. Michael glanced over his shoulder to Nathan who smiled and nodded in approval. The ring was slightly out of his price range but it was definitely worth it. The ring was perfect.
“So when are you gonna do it?” Nathan asked excitedly as they left the jewelry store.
“I dunno yet.” Michael smiled. “The perfect moment. But I gotta ask your dad permission first.”
“Oh can I be there? Please? I need a really good laugh before I go back.”
“Yeah... ok fine, if that will make you feel better.” Michael rolled his eyes.
“Excellent.” Nathan grinned. “Plus if Dad starts to turn on you I’ll be there to back you up.”
“Good, I could actually use that.” Michael laughed. “Oh, right, Syd wanted me to ask. Do you want to come have dinner with me, Syd and Nadia some time?”
“Is this like a set up?” Nathan asked suspiciously.
“I don’t think so. I think she just wants to save you from one night of your mother’s smothering,” Michael said.
“Oh... that could actually be really nice,” Nathan said.
~*~
The next day was the double date but not date for Nathan, Sydney, Nadia and Michael. Nadia giggled a lot and Nathan seemed to have a good time. As a matter of fact Nathan and Nadia made a date for the following day and the day after that.
“Nadia, you do realize he’s going back to Afghanistan in a week, right?” Sydney warned her overzealous friend.
“Yeah, so?” Nadia shrugged. “Doesn’t mean he can’t have fun while he’s here.”
“Well if you’re having ‘fun’ with my brother please, keep the details to a minimum,” Sydney said.

Woot! He got a ring! Can't wait until he asks Jack for permission (because that'll be halarius) and until he pops the question, beacuse that'll be incredibly fluffy -- and I love fluff!
Nadia and Nathan! interesting
And a future proposal, I cannot wait!
How's the ring? We know it's white gold (which I adore excellent choice ) and... ? or just simplicity: a ring and nothing more (which I love ^_^)
Good chap Janet, now you have to answer my questions!
