A/N: I love all the guesses you guys are coming up with in the reviews, so keep 'em coming!
After the blowout from our anniversary, we took the time to find the balance we needed to make juggling our relationship and grad school work. It took a little time, and a lot of patience from the both of us, but we did it, and looking back now I think it made us stronger as a couple for being able to make it through that rough patch.
The rest of the school year went well and we were both advanced into our doctoral programs. We planned a dinner with our friends and family to celebrate. I was excited for tonight. It had been a while since our original group of six had gotten together, and even though we all kept in touch, we were all busy and hadn't hung out together as much lately. I think we all missed each other based off of how excitedly everyone accepted their invites for tonight.
The two of us make our way to the restaurant, excited both about moving forward in our programs, and for the upcoming vacation we had planned. We had agreed that after the stressful year we had, we had earned a vacation and planned a cruise to the Caribbean for next month.
All throughout dinner we're congratulated on our academic successes, spend time catching up with our friends, and more than once our parents pester us with talk of grandbabies and when we're planning to take the next step in our relationship. We both skillfully avoid answering those questions.
More quickly than any of us would like, our evening comes to a close, and the two of us make our way back to my apartment. Snuggling on the couch, we relax with a bottle of wine as we watch a movie. Shifting me in their arms, I see them dig into their pocket for something and watch as they pull a small box out as they turn to face me and start talking.
"Baby…I am so proud of you for all the hard work you did this year, and for getting advanced to the doctoral program. I know we're going to face some new challenges with our new course load and class requirements, but I know that we can handle them together. I have no doubt in my mind that I want you by my side always, and I don't want to spend another minute away from you if I don't have to. Will you move in with me?" They ask with a shaky voice as they open the box to reveal a key.
The key is attached to a keychain which has been custom engraved with both of our initials on it, and I can't deny that seeing that made my heart flutter.
"Well…what do you say babe?" They ask again, making me realize that I haven't answered them.
"Yes! I'd love to move in with you." I manage to say before pouncing on them and showering them with kisses and leading them to the bedroom for some much needed celebrating.
A/N: So yeah, they're gonna go sex it up and celebrate. I'm gonna go work on the next chapter…somehow I think our mystery couple is getting the better end of the deal. Any new ideas now that they're moving in together as to who the couple might be? Let me know!
