"Where do you wanna go?"
The smaller man pondered for a few seconds. "Can we get a new bed? It's getting y'know... dirty."
"You're dirty."
"Shut up Harry."
"Okay, we'll get a new bed," Harry said, opening the door for Dougie and stepping out. "But we have to lie on them and jump on them... like we do at home. To erm, check that they're safe."
Dougie looked over at his boyfriend. "You're one horny devil Mr. Judd. Just don't go jumping on me in there dude."
"Of course not."
After the new bed had been ordered, Harry squeezed his boyfriend's hand. "This is going to be a day you'll never forget Dougs. Now, it's my choice of places to go, and for this you're gonna need a blindfold. It's a surprise! Sorry mate."
Dougie looked amused mixed with a hint of excitement as Harry produced a black piece of cloth from his back pocket and tied it around his boyfriend's head, making sure that he couldn't see anything through it.
"Let me help you in the car."
The ride there was in silence, but it was in no way an uneasy one. Dougie smiled to himself as he realized that the car was parked.
"We're here," Harry said happily.
"Cool. But can you take my blindfold off? I wanna know where we are dude."
"Say please," Harry answered back with a wink, forgetting no one could see it.
"Pleeeeeeease," Dougie stressed.
"Then why of course I can my love." And with that, folding it up and placing it in the back seat.
Dougie gasped. "Harry, he said slowly, making sure he'd understood right. "We're at the local ring shop. You… buying something?"
"I already have," Harry said, getting out of the car and beckoning the younger man to do the same. "Wait here." Harry walked into the shop, said a few inaudible words to a lady working there, and reappeared, a little red box on his palm.
Dougie's stomach did flips as he realized what it meant. In fact, he'd only just got over the surprise and was ready to start talking when Harry lowered his legs- so that he was on one knee.
"Babe… I know things have been strained lately, but please let this offering be a promise that everything's going to be okay, from today. We're going to be okay." He opened the box to show a silver ring. Harry took it out of the box, showing it, and offering it to Dougie, who looked like he was about to cry with happiness.
"It's got 'Pudd' engraved on the inside. Marry me Doug. Please. Make me the luckiest man on the planet."
Harry had expected his lover and best friend to be surprised and not be able to say anything- however what he wasn't anticipating was to be thrown to the floor- a hysterical boyfriend on top of him. And he certainly wasn't expected being showered in loving kisses- including some extremely hard love bites on his neck. But, some of what he was expecting happened, although he was never fully sure that it would. Dougie grabbed the ring that Harry was holding, and slid it down his wedding finger, with a quiet whisper of "I love you." It was a perfect fir, and it looked stunning. It was as if the ring glowed, glowed for the two boys. For their love. 3
After that, the boys made their way to the cinemas, but it's safe to say that they weren't as interested as they film as they were in each other.
I thought I'd give you all this one as a kind of mini-chapter, as I'm just typing up the next one. It might be a good idea to read chapters 7 and 8, because otherwise chapter 10 might be a bit confusing! I'm really sorry I haven't updated lately, but anyway I saw McFly on the 20th at rah and it was my best night ever! so you're all probably gonna get some chapters soon! Also, make the most of this happy chapter, because let's just say you're not going to get much more happiness for a while! Oops! Love you all, El xx
