'Will you marry me?'
Those four simple words.
Those same four words that I oh so desperately want to say, although I know I probably would just chicken out anyways.
Why would Kendall even want to marry me?
He's too... insane for me.
Insanely perfect, that is.
Maybe I should just go and face the goddamn music.
"Hey, Kendall," I try to say as casually as I can, even though I'm shaky as hell and my voice is most likely ten times worse than normal.
I sit down beside him on the couch, silently cursing myself in the process. He turns to me, his face illuminated by the crappy three foot tree in the corner of the room, the lights on it almost on the verge of falling off.
"Yeah?"
Did I mention that is it Christmas Eve?
Oh, yeah, that's pretty important.
I spent all my money on this ring, and he better take it.
Or else.
Just kidding, I just really want him to say yes.
If he doesn't... I'm not so sure as to what I would do.
A world without him is a world incomplete.
I must have fallen into a trance again, because the next thing I know, Kendall is shaking my shoulders and yelling my name.
"Oh, sorry."
He rolls his eyes and scoots closer to me, smiling up at me through a curtain of bangs. "I have something to tell you, too," he whispers, squeezing my hand.
"Oh, okay. Do you want to go first?"
He contemplates this for a moment and then shakes his head. "No, actually, why don't we say it at the same time? Make it easier on both of us."
I shrug uneasily and wonder what's the worst that would happen.
Maybe he wouldn't even understand what I would shout out.
That happens, right?
"You ready?" I hear myself stutter.
He gulps and nods excitedly. "One, two, three," I nervously mumble, looking away from his lovely face.
And suddenly everything is running through my head, and I'm trying to get out the correct words.
And he's trying too, it looks like he's having as much trouble as I am.
Our words come out at the same time and I feel a rush of happiness and sadness and especially the feeling of giddiness come through my system.
"Will you marry me, Kendall?"
Intertwined with a certain loved one's voice, "Yes, I'll marry you."
He looks at me wide-eyed, almost as if that's not what he meant to say.
"That's... not what was supposed to come out. I actually... was going to ask you.. The same thing. And I guess emotions took over."
He reaches into his pocket and I'm still in shock, but even more so when I see what he pulls out.
A ring.
A ring with a single diamond in the middle.
He shakily puts it on my finger and I look up at him.
"Hey, wait, I don't get all the attention. Here, it's not as amazing as yours, but it's a start."
I reach into my own pocket for his ring and slip it onto his finger, making him blush.
"I can't wait to be married to you, Logie."
"Same here, Kendall."
And our giggles could probably be heard from downtown, but I don't care.
And it looks like Kendall doesn't either.
Best day ever, am I right?
