"I'm okay with waiting a little," said Chance, catching the relieved smile and laughing a little. The word husband made him feel that same rush of stupid happiness all over again, Chance pressing a kiss to Otto's warm cheek because it was sort of hard to stop now. "Fiances, then husbands."
He exhaled a breath, utterly content. "I like the sound of that."
It was no surprise that Otto didn't like parties, and Chance didn't really care for giant and fancy to-dos, either, for that matter.
"Nothing extravagant. Maybe just a drink at the bar or something," he said into Otto's hair. "Just something to commemorate the moment, unless you want to do it in private, in which case, I am open to all sorts of forms of private celebration too."
There was a grin in his voice, a bright tease.

On one hand, he wanted to world to know about his happiness. On the other, he quite liked his privacy.
"Could just make a scene on Twitter." He said with some humour. "And make reactions a drinking game."

Chance considered this, a slow grin spreading across his face.
"Do you know," he said, as he kissed Otto's neck, then pulled back, his expression devious. "I think that's an excellent idea, Otto Graves."

Otto smiled smugly, lifting his bottle of booze in a toast. "Cheers. To us, and to avoiding human contact."

Chance reached for his own bottle again and tapped it against Otto's, a grin spreading across his face.
"Cheers," he said with a wink, and took a swallow. After a moment, he said curiously, "Did you want to keep your name or what?"

He took a slow swig of his drink, letting the burn spread down his throat.
"I dunno." He answered honestly, "I thought a lot about it, since the name change is a big deal. Yanno, tradition or whatever. And I wanted to take this all seriously." He leaned closer to Chance, sliding a free hand on his, and making a point to test the feel of the new ring on his fiancé's finger.
"I kinda do cause it's you, but I kinda don't too. I like my name. So I just don't know, really.."

It was a big deal, for a lot of reasons, but Chance could understand the reluctance. Both of them had been who they were for a long time, now. He was Otto Graves, through and through; changing that wasn't something easily done.
His fingers twined with Otto's, Chance using his other hand to brush away some of Otto's hair.
"Well," he said thoughtfully, "I could always change my name. I mean...I like calling you Otto Graves. If you don't want to hyphenate and use both, I don't think I'd mind changing my last name to yours if you were okay with it."

Otto gave a smile, thinking over the options. "Hyphenating mine would be ridiculous once you toss my middle name into the mix." He snorted then. "Otto Austin Bones-Graves. What a mouthful." Still, he didn't hate it. And he felt they both needed their names changed to reflect the union, as opposed to just Chance, as if his lineage were being erased.
"We could hyphenate. Unless you wanna just take my name." He shrugged. "Bones and Graves. How metal is that?"

He let out a laugh. "Oh, and hyphenating mine wouldn't be a mouthful? Chance Victor Bones-Graves. But no one ever goes by their entire names," Chance added, grinning. He let his hand rest against Otto's cheek, fingers idly smoothing over his face.
"Hmm. Bones and Graves. We're pretty ******** badass."
He tapped a finger against Otto's temple.
"So. Hyphenated. I think that'll work gloriously."

Otto pressed his hand onto Chance's as he stroked his cheek, the other settling on his fiancé's knee. "Sounds good." Of course the name change wouldn't happen until they made it all official. He'd have to look up how to do that sort of thing later.
"It's better this way. Sounds more like a partnership and less like a corporate take over."

It felt surreal and real and alive and vibrant all at once. Chance hummed a sound of pleasure, his grin spreading across his face as he leaned in closer, nuzzling against Otto's jaw affectionately.
"No takeovers," he murmured. "Definitely no corporate takeovers."

"C'mere." Otto murmured, tilting his head to press his lips against Chance's. He didn't care about details anymore. He just wished to bask in this feeling he had. He'd won, in a way. He'd gotten past one of his greatest fears; commitment. With a ring on Chance's finger, and soon his own once he got around to it, he'd have a physical incarnation of loyalty and devotion. One he could look to whenever he felt doubt or uncertainty.
And besides frugal details like that, he knew now that Chance felt just as strongly about him as he did. Love. He felt love, and that's what he wished to stay in for the rest of the night.
