It had been two years, two wonderful years of bonding, of growing together. Yes there had been fights, tears produced because the other said something that hurt their partner, laughter over stupid things, and love that survived the tests of time. Being together proved to be the best thing for Taemin and Minho, as if nothing could permanently separate them though several had tried and failed numerous times. One time Taemin had read that seven out of ten people married their high school sweetheart and he considered himself to become included in that prestigious seven.

Minho had insisted they go to prom of their senior year. Taemin had protested that it was completely stupid that they should go and it would just be a waste of money. But the elder teen would hear none of it. They were going to go and that was final. Taemin had finally caved after one day of pressure and in the middle of May they were arriving at a hotel that the school had rented a ballroom in for the event.

The last song of the night was playing, a slow dance for the remaining couples which was not many buy midnight. Minho had made Taemin stay until the end, even if he was bitching and threatening him with no sex for years on end. The soccer player only would laugh then give him a kiss on the cheek. The two boys were gently swaying to the side of the ballroom, talking softly over the music that streamed from the speakers.

"You know I'll love you forever right?"

Taemin only laughed and nodded before saying sweetly, "And you're not getting in my pants for five years."

Minho chortled and slowed down the pace of their dancing and pulled back to look down at the pale beauty. His thumb gently brushed over Taemin's knuckles before he completely stepped back from him. He had a soft smirk as he slowly knelt down, hiking up the pant leg of his trousers. A small blue velvet box was produced from his pocket and he snapped it open. "Forever?"

The male that was still standing felt tears spring in his eyes as he looked down at the boy stooped before him. His throat closed up with the overwhelming emotions and he struggled to find the ability to speak. After a few seconds passed he saw the fear that flashed in the depths of Minho's eyes and he knew he had to do something. He nodded enthusiastically and let out a strangled, "Yes…"

Minho placed the simple silver band on Taemin's proper finger and stood up, encasing him in a warm hug. It had completed them both to know that they were going to make it through everything together and there was nothing that could change that. Taemin had gone back on his word and did not make Minho wait five years to have at him again.

A few short weeks later the boys were graduating, cap and gowns adorning their bodies as they sat in the sweltering heat in the middle of the football field. Everyone they knew had come, from Donghae to some of Taemin's old dancing buddies Sunny and Yuri. The boys weren't valedictorian; they were never at the top of their classes. They were the ones who met through twists of fate and fell in love.

Though out the ceremony, Taemin would try to sneak peeks at Minho who sat a few rows in front of him. When ever their eyes met, they would smile and then shift in their seats content for the moment before they would begin to search for each other again.

"Choi Minho…"

The male stepped forward and gripped his diploma, shaking the hand of his principle. He heard a few shouts, mainly from those who had joined them for the festivities. Then he walked off and headed back toward his row. He sat down once he reached his seat and stared forward until Taemin's name was called.

"Lee Taemin…"

Minho clapped with those in the stands as he heard the distinct voice of Donghae call out, "That's my son! You made it! I knew you could do it!"

It had taken a few more minutes for everyone to file thorough and receive their certificate of graduation. Then the class president stepped forward and gave their closing speech.

"Live, love, and prosper. I believe all of us have great potential in our lives and we will make this world a better place. Never forget where you began, but don't let it hold you back. Reach for the stars and obtain them. It has been my great pleasure getting to know most of you and so many of you have a great future ahead of you. Congratulations class of 2010, we've finally made it!"

With those last words the caps flew into the air and slowly fluttered down to the ground. Taemin and Minho had both began to migrate towards one another and hugged each other before they were surrounded by their friends and family. Their beaming faces encircled the couple and gave them shouts of congratulations.

Taemin turned to Minho and smiled brightly. They had made it to the end of one chapter of their lives and so many more awaited them in the future. Their souls had become infused as one and no amount of time could ever break the bond that only grew stronger between them everyday. They had made it through the storms, the turmoil, and the strife. They stood together stronger then they ever did apart. Their lives had finally become complete in and to think it all happened through letters shoved in lockers.

ITS FINISHED :(

Thank you for sticking with me!
