"Shay?" Troian asked after work one day.
"Yeah, babe?" The tanned woman asked, looking over at her fiancée before turning back to the road.
"We should get a horse, don't you think?" The brunette said, seriously pondering the idea.
Shay rolled her eyes happily as she thought back to their day with Spanky, the horse that was on set, and how much Troian loved working with him. The brunette was constantly trying to pet him or feed him carrots and peppermints throughout the day.
"What are we going to do with a horse, honey?" The raven-haired girl asked with a laugh.
"Ride it and love it." Troian answered easily with a shrug.
"Uh huh, with what time on our hands? We barely get to see each other sometimes and we are constantly traveling. I don't know if we'd be good horse owners at this exact time. How about we revisit this topic in a few years?" Shay said softly, not wanting to completely shoot down Troian's idea.
"Yeah, you're probably really right." The brunette said, thinking it all over.
"I know that Spanky was super cute today, but you just have to fight that urge to look for horses for sale, okay?" Shay said with a smile as Troian winked at her.
"Yeah, you're right. Sometimes our own schedules barely let us see each other, and a horse would be more time away from you sometimes."
"You should start taking riding lessons or something though, T. Get back into it a bit, you know?" Shay suggested as she turned onto Troian's street.
"Yeah, maybe. That could be a lot of fun!"
"Definitely. You could make your own riding schedule and not have to worry about your own horse." Shay pointed out as Troian squeezed their linked hands that were resting in Shay's lap.
"You're so smart. Yes, that sounds incredible. You should take lessons, too!" Troian said happily as her fiancée looked at her skeptically.
"I don't know, babe. I'm not sure how I am with horses."
"Well you can learn!"
"I'll see. Maybe I'll watch a few of your lessons and decide then."
"Alright, sounds good with me." Troian said happily as Shay parked her car in front of Troian's house and they both went to get out of the car.
"Do you ever feel like we're too comfortable?" Troian asked as she and Shay were curled up on the couch later that night.
"What do you mean, babe?" Shay asked, leaning back slightly so she could see Troian's face.
"Like we're too boring and we don't go out enough, and we don't really fight…" Troian trailed off as Shay frowned slightly.
"I don't think we're boring. We explore the world when we have free time and I love staying with you, just the two of us. If you go to parties, I love going, but if you're not there, they're so boring. And the fighting thing is a good thing, babe. We're able to talk things out reasonably. Yes, we can get a little pissy with each other, but it's rarely a big issue, or we're just taking out our anger on each other."
"I guess-" Troian started out before Shay interrupted her again.
"Plus, we have definitively had a few blowouts. When we fight, we both really fight, so it's good that we don't fight that much." She finished off with a grin.
"I just really love you, and want to make sure that you're happy always."
"I love you, too. And I'm so comfortable at the moment, both like physically, but also with our relationship. You make me so happy, Miss Bellisario, and I can't wait to marry you." The tanned girl said as she leaned in strongly for a hug that was quickly returned.
"Alright, everyone! The party for our 100th episode will be a week from tomorrow." Marlene King said as she stood up before the start of a table read.
Everyone cheered loudly as the woman smiled.
"Everyone is invited as well as a plus one, so it should be a good time! Someone will be coming around throughout the week to ask how many people to expect, that way we can get enough food and dessert. Sound good?" She asked with a smirk as everyone smiled and nodded happily.
"Who do you think I should bring as my plus one?" Shay whispered to Troian with a smile.
"Maybe that guy from the store the other day who was trying to flirt with you." The brunette said dryly and jokingly as Shay just rolled her eyes and smiled brightly, reaching down to squeeze Troian's thigh.
"Alright, looks like Lucy is starting us off today." Marlene said once everyone settled down, allowing Lucy to come in with her first line.
An hour passed and they were successfully done with another table read, allowing everyone to leave to go home for the day.
"Can you believe it?" Shay asked once she and Troian got into Shay's car, getting ready to spend the rest of the day at the beach.
"Believe what?"
"That we've known each other for five years now." The tanned girl asked with a huge grin.
"It's pretty surreal. I can't believe it took us as long as it did to get together." Troian said with a chuckle as Shay shrugged.
"I'm glad it did, though. I don't know if the timing would have been right, even a year or two earlier. I'm glad we got together when we did, everything just fell into place."
"Yeah, it really did." Troian agreed with a smile as she squeezed Shay's hand happily.
"I can't wait to just lay out on the beach with you in your bikini." Shay said as she glanced over at her fiancée.
"What a perv you are, Miss Mitchell." Troian said with a wink as Shay laughed.
"Why do you think I suggested a beach day?" Shay said with a laugh as Troian smiled happily.
"I'm glad you did. Because you're pretty easy on the eyes yourself." Troian said as she looked out the window.
"Hey, so I was thinking that maybe we could start house hunting?" Troian asked gently as she and Shay were laid out at the beach.
"Oh really, Miss Bellisario?" Shay asked with a grin.
"Yeah, I want to start our lives together in a new house. One that we pick out and decorate together."
"Are you sure, baby?"
"Definitely. I want it to both seem like home to us, you know?"
"Well home is whenever I'm with you." Shay said with a smirk as Troian looked at her with a growing smile.
"Are you gonna break out into song now, Edward Sharpe?" Troian said as she leaned over and kissed Shay sweetly.
"Maybe. Anything for my baby." She answered cheekily as she lay back down on her towel.
"Well I really want the first night we spend together in our new place to be on the night of our wedding. You know? Get married, have a reception, come to our new home and spend our first night there, and then leave for a honeymoon in the morning?" Shay said, pondering the idea.
"That sounds great, Mitchell. Absolutely perfect." The brunette agreed as she ran her hand along Shay's arm.
"It's a plan then…I honestly cannot wait to be married to you."
"Same. It'll be incredible for sure." The brunette agreed as she grabbed one of Shay's hands and kissed it happily.
