"Your eyes take my breath away every time I look at them."
Chris blushed, "Shut up Dare."
Darren smiled, "They do Chris. You take my breath away."
Chris blushed again and looked down.
"You're so cute when you blush." Darren smiled and ran his fingers through Chris's hair.
Chris sighed. How did everything turn out like this? So perfectly?
"I love you, Chris. So much."
"I love you too, Darren. You know I do."
Darren kissed the top of Chris's head, "No matter what Chris, I'm here for forever. This is real. You and me. I don't care what people say about us. I love you, Chris. You are my world. I will always be here for you. To pick you up when you fall, to wipe away the tears, to remind you how beautiful you are every day, because you are Chris. So beautiful. I can't even begin to say how thankful I am for you Chris, you saved me in ways I didn't think I could be saved. I can't even begin to describe how amazing you are. Everything you do. I will be here every day, supporting you, loving you, making you laugh, I'll get better day by day. This won't be perfect, but I promise you one thing Chris that I never want you to forget, is that I love you. You, Chris. My heart is yours. Every inch of me belongs to you. I'm giving you all of me. Every wall that I had built up when I first met you is down. It's me and you Chris. Until you don't want me or until I die. I'm yours. I love you. I love you so much."
Darren was sobbing into Chris while he was telling him all of this. Chris was crying just as hard as Chris. He couldn't believe the words coming from Darren's mouth. God, he loved Darren. So much.
Chris evened out his breath and began, "Me and you, Darren. That's all it will be from this point out. I'm not scared anymore because of you. You showed me what it's like to be loved. I feel like I can do anything, as long as you are right by my side. You are everything to me, Dare. Everything. You make me laugh with your child-like attitude, you make me cry when you say things like you just said to me, you make me want to scream to the world that I'm in love and that nothing else matters to me anymore. You are beautiful Darren. Every part of you. I will never send you away. I love you so much. You are stuck with me for forever. Thank you for everything you have showed me, have done for me and will do for me. I will be here for you Darren, no matter what. Anything that life throws at us, we can take it because we belong together. I'm yours. My heart, my body, my everything. It's yours. It's us until the very end. God, Darren, I love you so much. More than anything."
They were both leaning into each other, sobbing. Hearts swelling with love.
This was them. Darren and Chris.
Nothing could take that away from them, anyone could try and it wouldn't work because they were meant to be.
"Chris… I want to marry you. I want to be with you in every possible way I can. I want to have the ring on my finger so you know that I'm yours. And so that you know that there is no one on this Earth than can make me feel the way that you do."
Chris chocked out a sob, "God, yes, Darren. Yes. It was never a question. I'm yours. I want the whole world to know."
Darren pulled Chris onto their bed and they laid together, just staring into each others eyes for hours. Not saying anything, not needing to say anything.
Because they knew.
They loved each other with all of their heart.
"I'll be the greatest fan of your life." Darren whispered into Chris's ear before sleep crept into him.
