Dean stopped in his tracks, looking disappointedly at the flat water.
"We can't ride that," he pouted. "May as well go."
But it was such a beautiful morning, the sky glowing a soft pink, and they had the beach all to themselves. Colby didn't want to leave.
He sat his board aside and settled down in the sand to enjoy it for a minute.
"Let's stay," he said, stretching his hand out for Dean. Dean looked down at him, so beautiful with that morning light playing across his face.
"Alright," he allowed, smiling with his eyes, settling down between Colby's legs, so his back was against Colby's chest.
Colby pressed a kiss to Dean's shoulder, wrapped his arms around him and just enjoyed the fact that they were here together.
It was such a peaceful place, and he was sharing it with the person he loved most, and Colby knew beyond a doubt that he wanted to do this every day for the rest of his life.
He leaned forward, resting his mouth by Dean's ear to ask a question.
"Marry me?"
He felt Dean still, then he turned, a soft smile playing at the corner of his mouth. He was everything Colby wanted, and he was right here.
"Yeah, alright."
Colby smiled back, leaned in and caught Dean's mouth in a slow kiss. There was no need to rush, they had forever to do this now.
Their mouths parted, but they stayed close. Dean leaned back against him, trusting Colby to be his support and protection, and that meant everything.
"Bet it's gonna be choppy out there tomorrow," Dean sulked, looking at the water again.
"You don't know that," Colby said, pressing a kiss to Dean's temple and tightening his arms around him. The future was uncertain, except for one thing. "Whatever happens though, we can handle it together."
AN: So, what do we all think? Did someone say threequel? No promises, but maybe keep checking back if you want more of these boys. Chances are, I'm not done with them yet…
