Craig Tucker had always loved movies. He was astounded by the work that was put into making them. From the production all the way to final product. He was able to tell people random facts about movies before they even released, he could tell you just how long it took them to make it, and so on and so on.
In fact, there was only one thing that Craig Tucker loved more than movies, and that was his long time boyfriend, Tweek Tweak.
The two of them had been together since they were 10. Something that started out as nothing more than a way to appease the people of their town turning into to a love so strong that they were able to overcome anything that came their way. It was like a cheesy romance movie.
At least, that's what Tweek thought at 13 when Craig had first kissed him.
It was that moment that Tweek knew that he was going to marry Craig, and it was at that moment that he knew exactly how he was going to do it.
"Okay guys," Tweek turned from the projector to face Jimmy, Token, and Clyde. "On this flash drive I have all the videos we have taken of Craig and I over the years." His normal nervousness was faded into nothingness. There were a lot of things in his life he was unsure of, but the love between him and Craig was the one thing he knew for sure. "I'm going to be hiding behind the curtains, and once the video is over I'm going to come out and ask Craig to marry me." Heat raced to his face and his cheeks changed to reflect the shift in temperature.
Clyde, still being as much of a crybaby as he was 14 years ago grabbed Tweek and wrapped him in husky arms. "Tweek! I can't believe you're going to ask Craig to marry you!" He cried loudly shoving his face in Tweek's wild blonde hair before Token pulled Clyde away.
As Token finally got Tweek free from Clyde's grasp he crossed his arms and looked over at his blonde friend. "I have to say man, I never pictured it being you. I always thought Craig was going to be the one to propose."
"Y-y-y-yeah Tweek. I always tho- I always thou-ough-ought- I always thought that Craig was more upfront about your guys's relationship." Jimmy shifted on his crutches with a smile and he looked at the projector that Tweek had just finished setting up. Tweek was lucky enough that Jimmy had some experience when it came to A.V. because he would not have been able to do it alone.
"What can I say man?" Tweek's eye twitched shut. "I'm full of surprises."
OoO
It was time. Clyde's loud voice filled up the theater as he lead Token, and Craig through the empty building. He was bragging about how great this moving was going to be but it was clear Craig was suspicious of something.
"If this movie is so great then why haven't I heard anything about it?" Craig asked as he took a seat in between Token and Clyde. "And why isn't anyone else here?"
"Maybe you just aren't as into the art of film as I am Craig." Clyde insisted loudly with his mouth full of popcorn. Craig didn't say anything in return he just thinned his eyes at the babbling boy next to him and slouched into his seat.
Token lifted his arms in a stretch to signal Jimmy, who was in the projector room that it was time. Tweek made sure to give Token the task of signaling Jimmy because as much as he loved Clyde there was no way he'd be able to trust him to do something like that when ti was time.
As the room darkened the screen lit up with short clips of the years Craig and Tweek had spent together. It opened with the two of them playing with Stripe # 4 the guinea pig that Tweek had bought him after Stripe # 3 passed away. Confusion flashed on Craig's face and as he looked on either side of him to only see smile his expression quickly made its way to match the others.
Videos of their innocent sleepovers, their first official slow dance, the time the two of them sang on stage in front of the school, all of their precious moments were flashing on the screen in front of Craig and as the video came to and end Tweek took a deep breath and stepped from behind the curtain.
"Craig Tucker, today I wanted to incorporate a few of your favorite things together. Your love for movies, and me." Tweek bit his lip as he walked to Craig's row to already find the taller man already pushing past Token to get to him. "I've known since I was 13 that you were the man I wanted to marry, 9 years later, I'm asking you if you would be willing to make that wish come true." Tweek dropped down to one knee and took out the golden circle from his pocket. "Craig Tucker? Will you marry me?"
Craig smiled down at him softly and kneeled down next to Tweek wrapping his arms around him. He didn't answer, instead a soft laughter was coming from him. Tweek could feel the panic start to bubble up in chest but the soft kiss against his temple stopped it in its tracks. "Want to hear something crazy?" Craig whispered just loud enough for Tweek to hear.
"I was going to ask you the same thing tomorrow night at dinner." Craig pulled free from their hug and smiled at the man he loved. "I have to say, you definitely won when it comes to proposals."
