Rane - Why Wait

"Let's get married."

Reed gaped openly, no trace of a smile or any form of amusement on his face- just sheer and utter shock. "What?"

Shane was the embodiment of calmness, what with that lazy smirk and those hazy eyes. He looked back at Reed with utmost assurance. "I believe you heard me the first time."

"Let me rephrase that then- Are you crazy?"

Shane grinned. "Crazy for you, yes."

Reed huffed, glaring frustratedly at his boyfriend and smacking his arm with as much force as he could. "I'm serious!"

"What, so am I!" Shane laughed, ignoring the dull ache on his arm.

"Don't joke about this, Shane Anderson." Reed warned.

Green eyes softened, settling themselves on Reed's face. A flash of emotion crossed his face. Shane leaned in, placed a chaste kiss on his soft lips and whispered. "Just say yes.."

Reed's breath hitched. Five years into dating, and still this dancer could reduce him into a mere puddle. "This is insane, you know.."

"Anything less would just be boring."

"We'd have to fly to Washington or Vermont or-"

"I have the twins on speed dial."

"Mom would be furious when she finds out, not to mention Kurt-"

"They could come with on the plane ride."

Shane waited for Reed to say anything. When he didn't, the dancer wrapped his arms around the painter and rubbed his back soothingly. "I really want to marry you, Reed. Right now, preferably. It was bound to happen anyway. I'm just.. speeding up the process."

Shane could feel Reed smiling. He smiled back.

"Well, if it was bound to happen.."
