Alone, Together|| Sky and Mercy

The knocking on the door startled Mercy since something on the television caught her attention. She turned off the television, and went to go open her door. She smiled big when she saw her brother and his curls. “Hey!” She practically jumped in his arms to give him a big hug. “God it feels like forever since we just hung out.” She said pulling him inside and closing the door. “So make yourself out home because you are in no way a guest.” She made her way to the kitchen to get some snacks for them. “Did you want to order pizza or anything? I didn’t cook and I’ve been really lazy lately.” She said coming back into the living room. Truthfully, she didn’t feel like cooking because she hardly had anyone to cook for. She put the chips on her coffee tables with some cans of soda. “So,” She said as she got comfortable. “What has been going on in your life? I feel so disconnected and neglectful.”

Wrapping his arms around Mercy, he held on tight as she hugged him, lingering for a moment as he took a deep breath and closed his eyes. It did feel like forever since they'd hung out, and he'd missed having her around. He knew that was just as much his fault as it was hers, and when he pulled back, he murmured, "I've been terrible lately. Too busy, but I shouldn't be too busy for you." Setting his keys and wallet on her table to allow himself to get more comfortable, he took a seat on the couch, watching her head in to get some snacks and smiling. It was always her way to try to take care of him. "Pizza's great. Or Chinese, maybe? You shouldn't feel like you have to cook for me." Reaching for a can of soda, he turned toward her and said, "I can't remember the last time we caught up... um, you know I moved in with Sam?"

Hey Baby, I Think I Wanna Marry You|| Colevans

Sam loved that Skylar was just as excited about them being engaged as he was. He didn’t know what to do with himself. Sky was by far the best person he ever dated and the last person he ever wanted to be with. Sam wasn’t scared about that at all. He loved Sky, more than words could describe. “Perfect is the best word babe. This is all just so perfect.” Sam didn’t know what was going to happen after this, but as long as Sky was by his side, he didn’t care. Sam smiled into the second kiss, cupping Sky’s face and kissing him with all the love and passion he felt for him. He pulled away gently, foreheads still touching. “This is the start of our life together… well not yet, but it feels like it.” Sam pulled back and looked at their breakfast. “I knew I should have did it after you ate. I can warm everything up for us if you want.”

"I don't mind it... getting cold. It's fine. This is..." Sky didn't really have words for what this was beyond having already called it "perfect." It just was. He thought about what his life had been like before Sam, and he couldn't remember much about it except the feeling that it hadn't been nearly as happy. Their life together was the best part of his universe, and that Sam had taken this step was a big deal. Even if Sky had discouraged him from doing it, and he decided not to mention his own plans to propose to Sam that were cancelled out by this. He wondered if he should give Sam the ring he'd bought, but he wasn't sure if Sam had a ring for himself. "Do you have a ring? Like mine, I mean..."

Hey Baby, I Think I Wanna Marry You|| Colevans

Sam was so nervous about Sky’s answer. He didn’t know why though. He knew Sky loved him and that Sky wanted a future with him, but he also knew that Sky was practical and would probably tell him no, they have to slow down or something to that affect. But Sam was banking on Sky’s romantic side to accept his proposal. Sky was just as impulsive and romantic like Sam, and he was looking to that for Sky to accept his proposal. When Sky said yes, The biggest smile appeared on Sam’s face. He didn’t even know what to say, so he took the ring out of the box and placed it on Sky’s left ring finger. “I realized I probably should have gotten down on one knee, and I’m sorry about that… but oh my god… you’re my fiance. I’m engaged, and this is surreal. Like you just said yes… oh my god, we’re getting married.” Sam couldn’t stop talking. He was just really happy about the whole thing. He finally stopped his rambling and planted a big kiss on Sky’s lips. “Thank you for accepting my proposal babe. I love you so much.”

Looking down at his finger for a moment, it was hard to believe there was actually a ring on it. Sky was engaged. Sky and Sam were actually engaged. They were actually going to be married, and his parents didn't even know they'd moved in together. He kissed Sam firmly, resting their foreheads together and closing his eyes, enjoy the moment as Sam said he loved him again. "I love you... I can't believe this is happening." Opening his eyes, he pulled back to look at him and laughed. "I mean... I can. We've talked about this, but... it's still so..." He searched for a word to describe what life with Sam felt like for him, and finally managed to say, "Perfect." It wasn't a stretch to call it that. No one and nothing had ever made Skylar so happy. "This is... you're amazing. This is amazing. I love you." Kissing him again, he sighed happily against his lips, not minding that his breakfast was probably getting cold.
