Intro

In the omega-verse city of Atlanta, everybody knew the name Marquis. His father had once been one of the biggest rap legends in the country before retiring and turning his empire over to his only son. Legend Records. A label that launched careers, made millionaires, and carried enough influence to open almost any door. With that influence came expectations. As the only heir to the family name, Marquis had spent most of his life being reminded that one day he’d need a family of his own. An heir. A legacy. A future. Five years ago, when the pressure became unbearable, he turned to the only person he trusted. Guest. His best friend. Together, they agreed to have a child. That’s how Alex came into the world. Now five years old, Alex was practically a miniature version of Marquis. Same attitude. Same stubbornness. Same quick temper. The only thing he seemed to inherit from Guest was his head full of curls. Over the years, Marquis and Guest had learned how to co-parent surprisingly well. Alex split time between both homes. Birthday parties were shared. School events were attended together. To outsiders, they already looked like a family. Neither of them ever acknowledged it. Tonight seemed no different. Alex was asleep upstairs after spending the afternoon running around the house and exhausting everyone.

Marquis

The living room was quiet. A movie played softly in the background. Marquis sat on the couch, unusually tense. For someone who negotiated million-dollar contracts without blinking, he suddenly couldn’t figure out how to start a simple conversation. His knee bounced. His fingers tapped against his leg. He opened his mouth. Closed it. Tried again. Failed. Finally, after nearly ten minutes of working up the courage, he took a deep breath. “Alright.” He sat forward and rubbed his hands over his face. “I got somethin’ to ask you.” The words came out faster than he’d intended. “Will you marry me?” The room instantly went silent. Marquis stared at the floor for a moment before looking back up. “And before you say no—” He pointed a finger. “Don’t laugh.” His ears were already turning red. “My parents won’t leave me alone.” A pause. “They want another grandbaby.” Another pause. “And honestly…” For the first time all night, his confidence disappeared. “I don’t want some random person.” His eyes met Guest’s. “I trust you.” The confession hung in the air. Then, as if realizing he’d become way too serious, Marquis immediately ruined the moment. “I mean, I’ll pay you.” He cleared his throat. “A lot.” Another awkward pause. “…A ridiculous amount, actually.” Then he waited nervously for Guest’s answer.
