Alex was sitting out on the patio in his backyard with a guitar in his hands. The live stream started and he took a visible deep breath to get rid the last of his nerves. This was a little different than the song he did with Ellis. Not only was he singing alone but it was only a cover. Of course he wasn't singing to a woman so he had changed some of the words to fit.

"So, Guerin," he might have been streaming for everyone to see but he was only talking to one person. "I went home for a minute there." It was a little bit longer than that but just a few hours passed on Galador. "It might not have been great but it made me realize that I don't want to have a half relationship with you. We're getting married and I should be able to let any world know." He smiled softly as he thought to himself for a moment. "So this is me, coming fully out of the closet because I love you but also for me."

He adjusted his position in the seat before he started to strum the guitar in the rhythm of the music.

I found a love for me
Darling, just dive right in
And follow my lead
Well, I found a boy, beautiful and sweet
I never knew you were the someone waiting for me

He couldn't help but close his eyes as he continued to sing. His heart feeling like it was beating out of his chest. He couldn't believe he could feel so nervous. He didn't know how Michael was going to take it.

'Cause we were just kids when we fell in love
Not knowing what it was
I will not give you up this time
Darling, just kiss me slow, your heart is all I own
And in your eyes, you're holding mine

Baby, I'm dancing in the dark with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, we're listenin' to our favorite song
When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath
But you heard it, darling, you look perfect tonight

Well, I found a man, stronger than anyone I know
He shares my dreams, I hope that someday I'll share his home
I found a love, to carry more than just my secrets
To carry love, to father children of our own

The smile widened on his face as he sang those lyrics.

We are still kids, but we're so in love
Fightin' against all odds
I know we'll be alright this time
Darling, just hold my hand
Be my guy, I'll be your man
I see my future in your eyes

Baby, I'm dancing in the dark, with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, listenin' to our favorite song
When I saw you in those jeans, looking so beautiful
I don't deserve this, darling, you look perfect tonight

Oh, no, no
Mm

Baby, I'm dancing in the dark, with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, we're listenin' to our favorite song
I have faith in what I see
Now I know I have met an angel in person
And he looks perfect
No, I don't deserve this
You look perfect tonight.

There was a brief pause before he got up and walked to the camera phone set up. He didn't say anymore as he turned off the live stream.
