Husband! Akutagawa who uses the wedding ring as a necklace (putting it on a chain), especially on missions, because according to him seeing his wedding ring "stained" by impure blood makes him feel a horrible feeling (of betrayal and injury)

Alex never thought that he'd be doing this, even at 2AM, this is the most random thing he's ever done. If he thinks about it right now, he never thought that he'll be living together with his high school roommate turned lover. Sure, he never expected Nigel to come to his life like a wrecking ball, but did he even have a life before him? Sure, he had decent friends, he was rich, he ate three meals a day; but there was something missing. He couldn't quite put his finger on it. Everything that had happened — Susan Mueller, the bible, the night at the Colbie's, and the night in the rain. Everything seemed catastrophic, yet Alex felt like it was right, everything felt like it was falling into place. And what made it better is that when he kissed Nigel in the rain, touched his skin, the acres of porcelain. It felt just. So, as he sits alone in their shared bedroom, his deceased Mother's ring at hand, he can't help but feel nervous, like a ticking time bomb, about to explode into smoking pieces of him. He gazes at the time, fiddling with the ring with such contemplation only for his train of thought to be wrecked by the ruffling of sheets.
Nigel looks snug in Alex's shirt that is a size bigger on him, the led light of their bedroom makes his skin glow bright, and the blue irises of his eyes are as enigmatic as the night in the rain. Alex gulps as he feels sweat beginning to prickle his nape. He stares at Nigel tuck himself into bed only for Alex to call him, soft.
Nigel looks behind him, eyebrow cocked in a curious expression. He can sense Alex's troubled heart, because a part of Nigel is a part of Alex. They're two conjoined souls that will never part. Nigel is the first to ask what's wrong only for Alex to thrust the ring into Nigel's face with such determination etched into his face.
His eyes widened in surprise, so much so that he sits up in bed, mouth agape as he looks down at what looks to be a golden band and a Blue Sapphire ring attached to it as its center piece.
"What's this, Alex?" Nigel asks as his gaze travels from the ring to Alex's still determined face.
Alex's breathing comes in rhythmically as he stares deep into Nigel's eyes. He wants to stares at them forever. Hold him close and pepper him with kisses.
Alex sighs and brings his hand down to grasp Nigel's soft hands, so tender and void of labor. It reminds him of a new born baby's skin, supple and unblemished. Alex caresses tenderly as he stares down at Nigel's hand, specifically his ring finger, imagining him wearing the ring.
"I want you to have and to hold, forever, Nigel." It's not a response, rather it's a statement from Alex. An omen to forever. And from Nigel's widened eyes and rapidly beating heart — that is unusual for him — he can't help but chuckle at Alex's expression.
"H-hey! What's so funny?" Alex asks abruptly as he lets go of Nigel hand, hiding it in his lap. Alex's troubled face suddenly turns into a pout as Nigel's laughter simmers down.
Silence permeated the room, the ticking of a distant clock echoes.
"I do, too, Alex. Forever." Nigel calmly says before he grabs Alex's hand and wears the band, it glides in smoothly, just the right size. And he can't help but chuckle some more before Nigel disappears underneath the covers leaving Alex dumbfounded.
They got married the next week, it was a simple formality for the both of them to conceal their love, forever.
HERE IS THE RING! AND YES! Before Alex's mother died (as a headcanon) she left something, a part of her, that will forever remind Alex that he will always be loved.

Two days ago my husband said "...and he was pissed" and I said "don't say that around the kids!" so he corrected himself to "and he was liquid angry" and I've been laughing since

Me: I shouldn't disturb Neil Gaiman. I shouldn't send an ask unless I really have no way of getting the information otherwise. I'll check old interviews and all the articles that vaguely mention the subject. Of course it goes without saying that I'll read though the FAQ in its entirety. Only then, will I send an ask. However, I'd be very polite and praise his work, as anyone would. I'd also keep it short, because I don't want to waste his time. But I'd keep it very very respectful. I'd be sending a message to a very talented, amazing author that deals with god knows how many like me. Or I'd just stay in the dark and not send him an ask. Yeah, I'll do that.
