Chapter 15: Proposal

Hunter's POV:

It's been a few weeks and we are in Chicago and I am onstage for my concert. I am sitting on the piano that I requested for a few of my songs. "Well We are here in CHICAGO!" I smile and hold the mic away as I laugh. "So I want to call Nova out on the stage for my performance tonight before I have MCR come out for you guys."

I smile and look backstage as she shakes her head as a guard lead her out here. I hop off of the Piano and walk to her holding her hand, "Make some noise for my amazing girlfriend Nova!" I smile as the crowd screams and I lead her to center stage.

She hides behind me, "Why are you doing this? I thought you loved me."

I smile and pull her in front of me hugging her, ""Just look at me okay and forget they are there I wanna sing for you tonight."

"Oh geez Hunter," She mumbles and squeezes my hands.

I smile and let the music start as she blushes trying to not look at the crowd. I smile before I start singing, "I'm booking myself a one way flight I gotta see the color in your eyes I'm telling myself I'm gonna be alright Without you baby is a waste of time"

She smiles and looks up at me as I continue, "Yeah, our first date, girl, the seasons changed Got washed away in a summer rain You can't undo a fall like this 'Cause love don't know what distance is Yeah, I know it's crazy," I smile and spin her as I move in place to the music.

She laughs and moves with me clutching onto my hand and I wink at her and kiss her cheek. "But I don't want good and I don't want good enough I want can't sleep, can't breathe without your love Front porch and one more kiss, it doesn't make sense to anybody else Who cares if you're all I think about, I've searched the world and I know now, It ain't right if you ain't lost your mind Yea I don't want easy, I want crazy Are you with me baby? Let's be crazy, yeah"

"I wanna be scared, don't wanna know why Wanna feel good, don't have to be right The world makes all kinds of rules for love I say you gotta let it do what it does," I run my fingers through your hair, "I don't want just another hug and a kiss goodnight Catchin' up calls and a date sometimes I love that we're rebels, and we still believe We're the kind of crazy people wish that they could be, yeah!"

She hugs me as we move and she hides her face in my chest. "Oh, and I know we're crazy, yeah But I don't want "good" and I don't want "good enough" I want "can't sleep, can't breathe without your love" Front porch and one more kiss, it doesn't make sense to anybody else Who cares if you're all I think about, I've searched the world and I know now, It ain't right if you ain't lost your mind Yeah, I don't want easy, I want crazy You with me baby? Let's be crazy"

"Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na" I sway in place with her. "No, I don't want "good" and I don't want "good enough" I want "can't sleep, can't breathe without your love" Front porch and one more kiss, it doesn't make sense to anybody else Who cares if you're all I think about, I've searched the world and I know now, It ain't right if you ain't lost your mind Yeah, I don't want easy, I want crazy."

"Yeah, look at us baby, tonight the midnight rules are breaking There's no such thing as wild enough, And maybe we just think too much Who needs to play it safe in love? Let's be crazy!" I smile and pull back to look at you, "Who cares if we're crazy? We gotta be crazy! I know that we're crazy, so let's be crazy! Yeah-ah-ah..."

I finish the song with a smile and she laughs, "That was great."

I smile and laugh a little nervous, "Now darlin, I have been planning this the last few weeks.."

She giggles not knowing what's coming. "Oh have you?"

I take a step back and check my pocket as I get on one knee opening the ring box. "Well Nova, I have been thinking since that night at the tattoo parlor and well I love you, I know for a fact you are the only girl for me even if you enjoy trying to annoy me. Just like the first day we met and we both ended up falling in the river because someone pushed me in," I smirk. "Anyways what I am trying to say is Nova, will you make me to happiest guy on earth and marry me?"

She laughs and blushes covering her mouth, "Oh I don't know I may need to think about it," she teases before jumping to wrap herself around me, "Yes I will marry you."

I stand and spin us around before setting her down and offering to slide my grandmother's ring on her finger. I slide it on her finger, "God I love you SuperNova."

She smiles, "This is nerve racking."

"You get to request the next song before the band comes out." I laugh a little and move to grab my guitar.

"Why not let the fans do that," she offers. "I am already dying," she gestures to her redden cheeks.

I laugh, "What is your favorite song Nova?"

"Uhhhh..I don't know that hard hunter can I please go backstage again I'm making a total fool of myself" She whispers and hugs me.

I smile and turn to the crowd, "Okay one more song before My Chemical Romance comes out!" I hear the crowd roar and turn to see Frank come out with Pansy and winks at Nova.

"Oh fuck off Iero." she mutters and I watch Patrick walk out.

"How about a duet Hayes?"

I nod and watch as Nova heads backstage before Frank yells, "You don't wanna stay?! This is going to be epic!"

Patrick comes and stands by me, "I think we do an FOB song but I may be biased."

I laugh and nod and Patrick turns to Frank and I see Josh Dun sneak onto the drums. "Hit it Frank!"

Frank starts the opening of a familiar song and Patrick starts off, "Ooh oh oh oh, ooh oh oh oh Be careful making wishes in the dark Can't be sure when they've hit their mark And besides in the meantime I'm just dreaming of tearing you apart I'm in the details with the devil"

I smile and start playing picking up, "So now the world can never get me on my level I just got to get you out of the cage I'm a young lovers rage Gonna need a spark to ignite My songs know what you did in the dark."

Mikey and Pete both join us adding to the sound. Gerard and Brendon run out with mics but sit on the stage in front of us singing back up. Frank moves and starts to move like he is known for. "So light em up up up, light em up up up, light em up up up, I'm on fire So light em up up up, light em up up up, light em up up up, I'm on fire Ooh oh oh oh (In the dark, in the dark) Ooh oh oh oh (In the dark, in the dark)."

Gerard stands up as Frank approaches before grabbing his hair pulling him into a hot kiss. The rest of the song flies by and we all leave the stage in the end everyone offering Nova and I a congratulations.

As My Chemical Romance starts the concert I notice Nova sitting on the sofa staring into space. I walk up to her and she snaps out of it with a bright smile, "Hey there." I set my guitar down beside the couch and kiss her forehead. She hugs me tight and laughs a little, "I hate you, I hope you know that. Proposing to me in front of all those people how dare you!"

I sigh and grab a water from the fridge and lean against the wall, "I thought it was romantic, I just wanted it to be special."

"Hey I was joking," she smiles and tugs me back to the couch with her. "I told you I don't care where and when, as long as it happens. And it did."

I smile and kiss her. "Now the only challenge is meeting my family.. and planning a wedding of course. We will have to plan it well since we are both somewhat famous."

"Well I was thinking maybe wait awhile for the wedding? I mean we're still young and fairly busy" she shrugs and holds my hands.

I nod a bit, "Yeah we should wait for the tour to be over, and for your mom to be better."

I settle back onto the sofa in time for Nova to find a pillow and smack me with it. I laugh and block it, "Plus I hear that Frank and Gee are planning on getting married on tour."

She smiles, "Eh enough about weddings, square up bitch." She laughs before hitting me again.

"Not the hair," I say trying to stop the pillow.

"Oh not the hair?" I watch as she smirks before reaching up to mess up my hair. I try to push her hands back knowing I have to make an appearance tonight. "Nova Please."

She giggles before she taunts, "Make me." I smile and move my hands to her sides starting to tickle her. "No!" she shouts squirming but continues to mess with my hair. She laughs louder as I continue my assault and moves to start smacking my hands pushing me back onto the sofa.

I laugh and kiss her, "Sorry for tickling you Nova."

"No you aren't," she giggles.

I shrug, "Well you did make my hair look like we just had sex."

"Oh my god" She laughs and blushes, shoving me off the Couch. "I will do worse things than mess up your hair hunter, I will hide all your boots."

"Why me?!"

"Because you suck," she laughs while she straddles my waist and moves to mess up my hair more.

I hear footsteps and notice that the concert is over as Nova messes up my hair. Frank walks in, "Uhh, sorry for interrupting." He takes his guitar and slowly backs up.

"Oh my god" I laugh and she rolls off of me. "THIS ALWAYS HAPPENS GOD DAMMIT FRANK LEARN TO KNOCK!"

"You are backstage! there is no door!" He covers his eyes, "I am just gonna go."

"It's not what it looks like!" She groans, "He was tickling me because I was screwing up his hair! That's it" She blushes and throws a pillow at Frank.

He laughs dodging the pillow, "Jeez calm down you are engaged! No big deal sex is sex."

"Yeah but you're a gossip girl." Nova chuckles.

Frank gasps, "I am not!"

"You soooo are!" Nova smirks. "You're the biggest gossip girl I know. Gerard agrees."

Frank shakes his head, "No! Gee would never!"

"Then you should go ask him." Nova suggest and Frank turns to go find Gerard.

I shake my head as I get up off the floor, "I need sleep or coffee."

"Coffee!" Nova smiles.

I groan a bit, "I have coffee on the bus."

"Okay," she walks to me and pats my chest. I yawn and stretch before she pokes my side, "That's what you get for tickling me."

I yawn again, "Ready to head back to the bus dear?"

"Mhm." she smiles wrapping her arms around me.

I pick her up and start walking to the bus before she yells my name. "What?" I ask worried.

"You have to warn me before picking me up!"

"You should have known by now," I respond as she sticks out her tongue. I sit her down before walking the last few yards to the bus.

"Heyy." she whines and I turn once I reach the bus to see her pouting.

I open the door, "Come on."

"Fine," she pouts and walks inside.

"Well you didn't seem to like me picking you up so I set you down." She rolls her eyes in response. "Are you mad at me Nova?"

"No." she says as I sit down before pulling her down onto the couch. "Then what is wrong dear?"

"Nothing," she says stubbornly.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes," she snaps at me and I jump in shock before apologizing. She looks at me and I watch as tears build up in her eyes. "I am sorry." she mumbles before nuzzling her face into my neck.

I rub her back as she cries a bit, "It's okay darlin'."

"I'm a bitch." she mumbles.

"No you are not." I sigh, "You just are extremely independent and sometimes that is bad because you need help but don't want it, and you get kinda grumpy."

She sighs and nods, "I am not grumpy, now I am just sad."

"Talk to me.." I smile a little. "I am going to be your husband.. you can talk to me."

"I feel bad I snapped at you. I feel like a horrible person." She pulls back to look me in the eyes.

"Just tell me why you snapped.. then we are even."

She shrugs, "I don't know why I snapped, I just did."

"Is there something else like stress or depression?" I look down. "The only people to do that to me was Frank without his meds and my sister when she was pregnant."

"It's a girl thing I guess" she frowns. "I'm tired"

"Let's get you to bed then baby," I say as I stand and offer her my hand.

"Nooo." she groans.

"Why not?"

"Will you be there too?" she asks.

"Nova, we have been sharing a bed since we started the tour. I am not gonna change that now."

She nods, "Good."

I smile a little, "Alright then let's get to bed."

"Will you carry me?" She asks and I just pick her up and she cuddles into my chest as I carry her to bed. I set her on the bed, "Hey I need a shower. So I will be in bed soon."

She pouts but nods and I rush through my shower. I finish drying my hair with a towel as I walk back to her. "I am not gonna bother with a hair dryer or a brush for that matter so, hope you don't mind." I crawl in bed after tossing the towel to the hamper.

She nods and smiles, "You smell nice." She giggles before curling up into my side.

I pull a blanket over us, "I love you Nova."

"Love you too," she mutters half asleep.

*The Next Morning.*

`I am walking back from a sound check when my phone alerts me to a new tweet. I check and see that Taylor Swift tagged me in something.

What is with all the engagements on this tour?! Just teasing guys! Congrats to Hunter and Nova! Happy for you two

I smile and was in the process of a reply when I bump into someone. I look up to see Taylor, "Oh hey I just saw your tweet. Thanks Taylor, and yeah I don't think anyone planned to have so many engagements this tour." We laugh, "So who is next do you think?"

"I have no clue."

I smile, "Probably Mikey and Ray. or maybe Pete and Patrick will finally man up and get together. "

"Imma say Ray and Mikey, THEN FoB mans up and gets together."

"What about who is finally gonna have kids?"

"Oh easy, Frank and Gerard will adopt first then Mikey and Ray then you and Nova."

I shake my head, "I don't see Nova and I having kids anytime soon. Though hopefully Sarah can talk Brendon into it she really wants kids."

She nods, "Yeah they will have kids before you and Nova."

I shiver. "I swear the words kids, Nova and me all in one sentence is kinda scary."

"At least you know you loved her. I'm still so worried that Dylan's going to leave me like my other boyfriend."

I smile a little, "Well I have only talked to him a few times but he loves you. He talks about you all the time! I feel like he talks about you more than I talk about Nova."

"Not possible. You can't go three minutes without saying her name." She laughs a little.

"I can go the rest of this conversation without saying it."

"Try it then,"

"I shall."

"So what has been your favorite part of the tour?" She asks.

I cover my face and laugh because my answer is Nova. "Performing." She grins a bit, "Well then what is yours?"

"You will think I am pathetic if I tell you."

"Seriously I have no room to judge you Taylor."

"Meeting Dylan.." she admits.

I nod, "Yeah I guessed as much."

She punches my arm, "Hey!"

I hold up both hands in surrender, "I told you I can't judge!"

She giggles a bit and nods as I laugh. We talk for a little while longer before she has to head to wardrobe for her concert tomorrow.
