Ivan's beautiful blue eyes sparkled in great happiness after he heard Dino's declaration. Then he said, "Either my name or 'my darling' is fine, whichever you're most comfortable using."
"Okay then. Thanks, Ivan," Dino answered with an innocent smile. "I'll be calling you by your name then."
"Great!" Ivan exclaimed joyfully. "Hearing my name, especially coming from you, is like music to my ears, you know."
"Yeah, I know," Dino replied with a nod and a smile. "But 'my darling' is a different kind of music for you, isn't it? I mean, it's something that you're not used to listening to."
"Yes, it's different, but it still sounds lovely," Ivan responded with a smirk.
Dino's eyes dilated upon hearing what his boyfriend just said before saying, "That's...quite unbelievable."
"It is?" Ivan asked in a tone as if he was trying to tease Dino.
"I mean...Well...Never mind," Dino responded before letting out a laugh.
