Prince Gumball and Flame Prince wake up next eachother in PG's bed. "Good morning." Flame Prince smiles. PG wakes up, eyes still foggy with sleep. "Good morning, prince." he glances at FP's bright flame. They both get up and look for clothes strewn on the floor. Prince Gumball starts walking out the door, gently whispering "I love you." in FP's ear.
"I love you too." He whispers in response, a little louder, smiling back. Flame Prince was never really outgoing, he's always been shy, keeping to himself, but that doens't lessen his love for PG.
He follows Gumball out of his room and the maze of hallways, down the stairs.
"So where exactly are we going today?" The Prince of Flames asks, voice chirping with curiosity since his boyfriend walked right past the kitchen, where savory breakfast was already being cooked and served.
"Oh, somewhere..." He says coyly, winking back.
"Hmmph." He mutters, blushing a little, letting his mind wander in the possibilties. They continue out of the Candy Kingdom, past the bulky gates. Prince Gumball quickly grabs Flame Prince's hands, slowing down and pulling him along the imaginary trail in his mind. "Seriously, are you going to tell me where we're walking or am I being kidnapped?" Flame Prince laughed after 30 minutes of silence. The silence wasn't uncomfortable, it was the type of silence like PG had a huge secret, he was grinning and biting his lip trying not to make it too obvious.
"Just trust me, you won't regret it." Is all he replied back to FP. They walk for another half hour, long enough for Gumball to get slightly annoyed at Flame Prince's silence, which was no longer comforting. He holds it in, hoping for the endless walking to cease. A few moments later, the green fields halt, more trees cluster together as they wal, having the 2 of them dodging past trees. Soon trees are all around, the grass is gon and dirt covers the ground with large roots sticking out like veins. "Here we are." states Gumball as he holds his hands out to the clearing in the trees.
A pond. No, bigger, and the water moved, a river. Slow moving, peaceful. It seemed endless on both sides, like the water went on forever. There were rocks and boulders creating paths to the other side of all shapes and sizes. Flame Prince loved the sight. Despite fire and water being total opposites and water hurting fire, he found it calming, to look at something like that, something that looks so wonderful, which can also destroy him in a second. The thought stays in his mind a few moments before he says anything to PG.
"It's wonderful... But why'd you bring me here?" Flame Prince asks suspiciously. It's one thing to come here with a things to do, but to lead him here right after getting out of bed, skipping breakfast, not saying anything on the way, that's another thing.
"I figured the scenery would fit.." PG spoke slow and nervously as he glance down, fishing something out of his pocket.
"Fit what?" FP asked, the suspense of walking for more than an hour without any answers killing him. Just after he finishes his question, Gumball kneels before him.
"My Prince, you make me complete, you make me whole, I'd be nothing without you. You showed me how wonderful the world is, you've had me discover what a blessing you are in my life. I hope you can stay in my life.. Forever." PG holds out a tiny black box, he opens it with a glistening gold ring inside, reflecting the clear, warm sunlight. "Will you marry me?" Flame Prince tears up at the moment he shall remember forever, the smell of oak trees and fresh water, the beaming sunlight, the flowing water against the rocks.
"Gumball... Yes! Yes, I'll marry you!" He shouts jovially as he pulls his prince up from his knees, giving him a powerful kiss. He releases as tears flow down his cheeks. Gumball Takes his hand and puts on the ring. A perfect fit
