A/N: FLOOF

SteamPunk Wilson: Almost done? Well, it's been a great story!

And Thomas did get the day off at least, even if it was real

Reply: I'm sad it's almost over too, but, FLUFF

Also, sorry for the huge fucking time skip that's coming.

8 Months Later

Thomas gripped the box in his suit jacket pocket. He'd asked Washington for the day off, who proceeded to hug him and cry, "my son's all grown up!"

And the next person he'd told reacted similarly. "You are!? Thomas! This is 'uge! I'm so proud of you!" Lafayette had encased him in a bone crushing bear hug.a

His palms were sweaty and he brushed his hair back, humming nervously. This was an important day. In fact, this day should've happened five days ago, but, 1. He'd only just worked up the courage to ask Washington for a day off work and 2. He was nervousa! This could be one of the most important days of his and James' life!

"Teddy Bear!" James called, staring at himself in the mirror. He knew this was a big day, he knew Thomas was planning something, but he wasn't sure what. A holiday? A fun adventure? Was he promoted?

"Yes, Kitten?" Thomas exited the bathroom, stuffing the ring box deep into his pocket. He knocked on the bedroom door before entering.

"What's the occasion?" James grinned, swinging his arms around Thomas' neck, pulling the man down lightly to brush their lips together.

"Oh, nothing." Thomas grinned, "I just wanted to go out." James went to reach for his hand, frowning sadly when Thomas kept it stuffed in his pocket.

"What's the matter?" James asked dejectedly, placing his own hand in his pocket, reaching up to fix his tie with his other hand.

"Nothing!" Jefferson wiped the sweat away, reaching out for James. He graciously accepted the gesture, gripping it tightly.

"Right," James pulled out (What used to be) Thomas' car key, "Be proud of me, I learned how to drive."

"Jemmy," Thomas bent down, kissing his forehead, "you've known for six months now."

"I know but still!" He giggled, opening the apartment door. Thomas held the handle of his cane, releasing James' hand. He pushed his glasses up his nose, the ones Madison had bought him at the fair. Black with magenta tints.

James stepped out, locking the door behind him. And the two left, walking to the car.

"Teddy Bear?" James kept his gaze on the road, the radio quietly playing Panic! At The Disco.

"Yes?" Thomas hummed along to the song.

"Aren't these directions to..." Thomas just nodded.

"Club A Steakhouse? Oui."

"Where we had our first date..." James gushed in a low tone, his smile bright.

"Yup."

"There must be some sort of occasion!" James insisted, stopping a the red light.

Thomas hummed as a response, smiling to himself. If this went well, the only couple that wouldn't be married would be Lafayette and Hercules, but from Herc's reaction to Thomas announcing his proposal, he was planning something too. "Hey, James."

"Yeah?" He started up again, turning a corner quickly.

"I think Hercules is planning to propose to Lafayette."

James took a huge gasp, and the car jolted. "Sorry." He giggled. "Really? How do you know?"

"Well, I was talking to them recently, and..." Thomas realized he had no excuse. "We were talking about Alexander and Laurens' wedding, and Herc seemed like he was planning something."

"Aww!" James stopped at another red light. "That's so cute!" He started up again, turning left.

"I know!" Thomas placed his hand in his pocket, turning the ring box around.

They stopped on the street, turning off the ignition. "And we are here." James smiled to his side, beaming at Thomas.

"Great." He opened his door, placing his cane on the ground. The cane was a dark purple, almost black, with a ball handle. He pushed down, standing and closing the car door. James linked their arms, walking into the restraunt.

Thomas took a deep breath, moving the pasta that was on his plate around nervously. "Are you okay, Tommy?" James asked, slicing through the chicken he was eating.

"Yeah! Yeah, I'm fine..." Thomas smiled widely, star struck. "You're gorgeous you know?"

James blushed, looking down. "T-thanks." Thomas grinned, taking a mouthful of pasta. His hand was shaking slightly, so he placed it under the table, on his thigh.

The waiter walked over, "'Ello, if everything okay?" He smiled.

"Yeah, we're fine! It's great!" James spoke, cheeks still tinged pink.

"Great."

"Is something wrong, Thomas? You've been acting weird all week!" James took a bite of chicken, moving around the vegetables.

"I'm fine, just, thinking..." Thomas grinned. "Thinking about how much I love you."

James blushed yet again, "I love you too. You're the one."

This made Thomas feel more confident about his plan. Please work.

James looked down in slight disappointment, he thought that Thomas was, maybe, possibly going to propose, yet nothing. They'd just gone out for dinner.

"Maddy? Turn right." Thomas grinned.

"What?" James looked to his right, "but to go home we need to turn left!"

"I know, just do it."

James knit his eyebrows in suspicion, but followed Thomas' instructions until they reached a familiar place.

"Is this..." James looked at Thomas, shocked and happy and a million other emotions. In front of them was a lighthouse, the stars shone above their heads, and the sounds of the tides crashing against the ocean walls.

Thomas nodded vigorously, smiling. "Come on!" He opened the car door, leaping out. Thomas outstretched his hand, and James grabbed hold. They raced towards the do familiar spot. They sat by the lighthouse, their legs dangling above the ocean.

"How did you even remember the directions here!" James gushed, shifting to kiss Thomas.

"I come here a lot, especially recently. It calms the nerves..." He hummed, kissing James back sweetly.

"Why've you been so jittery recently?" James asked, pulling away and setting his head on his boyfriends shoulder.

"I've just been planning something." He smiled, turning the ring box in his pocket.

"What?"

"Nothing much, it's not important." Thomas grinned, swinging his legs, feeling the water wash over the tips of his shoes.

"Oh..."

A couple of minutes pasted, and the two were chatting. "Thomas, I love you so much. I think you're the one I want to spend my life with."

This was it, the perfect moment.

"That's good." He shifted, staying on one knee. He pulled the ring box from his pocket, watching James' expression morph into joy.

"Oh my god!"

"James Madison. Jr, you are perfect. My best friend, my roommate and my boyfriend. Now, I want to take this to the next level. You make me happy when I'm sad, excited when I'm bored and alive. You mean the world to me." He opened the box, revealing a gold ring. "Will you make me happiest man in the world, and marry me?"

"Yes yes! Oh my god! A million times yes!" James enveloped Thomas in a hug, crying tears of joy. He pressed their lips together, smiling and crying. Thomas broke the kiss, sliding the gold ring onto James' left hand, kissing it afterwards.

"From best friends, to boyfriends, to husbands to be." Thomas grinned, placing kisses all over the smaller man's face lovingly.

"I can't believe this!" James was still crying. "I love you so so so much!"

"My god I love you too."
