Kai sat in the soft white sand. A gentle sea breeze played with his dual colored hair. Humming to himself, he let his toes sink into the sand as he gazed out over the beautiful crystal blue waters of the ocean before him.
He has always loved the ocean.
He and Miguel are staying in a remote little islandthat was apart of theFraiser Islandsjust off the shores of Australia. And so far, he was loving it. He's loving every moment he's spending with Miguel and knows that this little island has no telephones or television sets. Which means Tala has absolutely no way to contact him.
Yes!
Biting back a smirk, Kai looked at the endless, cloudless blue sky and the beautiful water below. It was a picturesque scene, but unfortunately inspiration to get it down on ink and paint eludes him. As irritating as that was to him, Kai was far too relaxed and peaceful to care at the moment.
He has never been on a holiday before, not that he can remember anyway. Just wait until he gets his hands on his inheritance. He and Miguel are going to every part of the world. Just the two of them.
He was almost giddy with excitement.
"Hey,"
Kai smiled, instantly recognizing the voice. "You're up, then?"
"It seems to me you still have a few things to learn about taking holidays," Miguel said as he sat down behind Kai and pulled him back into his arms. "When you're on holiday, you're suppose to sleep in. It's expected of you."
"I'll learn eventually," Kai purred, rubbing his cheek against Miguel's.
Miguel kissed the said cheek then rested his chin on Kai's shoulder and looked out over the ocean as well.
Inspiration can go to hell. Kai's more than content just to stay locked in Miguel's embrace.
Mentally Kai rolled his eyes. When has he turned into such a sap?
The rest of the day was spend lounging around on the sand, still in each others arms, may it be added. And whenever they did move about, they weren't more than arms reach from each other.
They walked around the island, took small bush treks through the island's small rainforest, went swimming in the gorgeous pools and lounged by the water's edge. For the first time in his life, Kai spend the whole day doing very little.
And he couldn't have been happier.
Sunset was just about upon them when they decided to have a quick shower and head into the restaurant to have a hearty meal. Who knew lounging around all day could work up an appetite?
They were sitting at a cozy two-seater table out on the large balcony, overlooking the ocean. The sunset was spectacular. The best Kai has ever seen. As the sun slowly left the sky, the full moon appeared, taking it's place, surrounded by stars. The moon's soft glow bathed the water and island in a silver light, making everything look absolutely enchanting.
Kai's attention was pulled away from his beautiful surroundings when he felt Miguel gently squeezed his hand.
"It's beautiful, isn't it?"
"Yes, it is," Kai replied, looking into Miguel's blue eyes. It was at that moment Kai realized that Miguel's eyes were the same color as the crystal clear ocean that surrounds them.
"You enjoying yourself?"
Kai smiled and placed his free hand on Miguel's who held his other hand so tenderly. "The best."
Miguel returned the smile but there was a hint of nervousness and uncertainty underneath it.
So, his perfect, can do-no-wrong boyfriend can get nervous after all.
"I have a little confession to make," Miguel said.
"Oh?" Kai said, slightly surprised.
"There was another reason why I brought you here," He then placed his hand in his pocket. "We've been together for seven months now, well seven months and two weeks."
Kai smiled softly, but an unknown feeling, like a hundred butterflies, settled into his chest.
"I've always known that I've had feelings for you and since we got together, those feelings grew into something incredibly strong."
There were two hundred butterflies now.
"And, I was wondering, if you," Miguel removed his hand from his pocket. He brought the balled hand in front on him and uncurled his fingers. He looked down at the upturned palm, smiled nervously and then presented it to Kai. "Would do me the honor of marrying me."
Kai's eyes widen, a fierce blush racing to his cheeks. He looked down at Miguel's tanned palm to see a silver ring with a small blue stone. His eyes instantly soften, a feeling of warmth and happiness rushing through him.
Silly boy. Did he really have to ask? Of course he'll would marry him. He didn't have to whisk him away to a tropical island.
Kai nodded and let Miguel slip the ring onto his finger. He then leaned across the table and kissed Miguel on the lips.
"Of course I'll marry you."
My first marriage proposal, well written one anyway. How was it? I'm kinda proud of this little chappy. But…I want to go on a tropical holiday! (cries)
