I did a thing.

Step 1: meet a fellow Les Mis nerd on Tumblr.com

come live with me and be my love

You were up early in the morning, earlier than usual, but you had to be.

It was Jason’s birthday today, and you were to give him the best gift ever.

You were picking some small but colorful flowers from the garden that stood just outside the house he made. The house you two lived in, together. You were saving them in the front pocket of your yellow overalls, a perfect peice matched with a white short-sleeved buttonup, a pair of your favorite rose-embroidered Doc Martens, and your big, circular glasses. With the last flower picked, you returned back to the house to make the morning tea.

——————————————————————————

“Wake up, Jason! Do you know what day it is?” you said, loud enough to wake him but quiet enough not to startle him. You always hated it when he got scared. He may be a fearsome killer, but he truly still had the soul of that young boy who drowned all those years ago.

“No... I don’t... know... what day.... it is...” he sleepily signed.

“It’s your birthday, silly!”

His eyes went wide, his left a beautiful lapis, the right a perfect pearl. He made to get out of bed but you stopped him. “Uh-uh-uh! It’s your birthday, so that means you are not getting out of bed.”

“But trespassers!”

“But cake!”

He sighed. You had a good point.

“Now, here’s your morning tea with your two sugar cubes, as always requested...”

Jason let out a few breaths that resembled a chuckle.

“...drink up while I make breakfast.”

You wached him drink from the tea set, the entire set being frog-themed.

——————————————————————————

While baking the cake, you looked around at the knick-knacks you two have collected over the years. It was where you first introduced Jason to polaroids, and became obsessed with capturing everything you did, as if he was afraid to lose you. But you weren’t going anywhere. There were records on the wall, too. Mostly Hozier and Fleetwood Mac, but there was some by The Oh Hellos and The Lumineers, along with Jason’s favorite, Dodie.

During your reminiscing you nearly whisked the eggs right out of the bowl. You fumbled with it for a bit, but managed to keep it together.

——————————————————————————

At the end of the day, the cake was done. It was a simple honey cake, with a bit of sugar on top and a garnish of basil, for decoration. You put in thirteen candles and wrote “Happy B-Day Jason” in pale blue frosting. Jason loved it. He blew out the candles a lot easier than he would have if he still had the mask. But nowadays he was wearing it less and less, he felt so much more comfortable with you around. You hoped that one day, you two would finally settle down, and he would put the mask away forever. He was just so handsome.

Blinking back to reality, he had already cut two slices—one for you, one for him—and it was time to give him your gifts.

“Ok Jason, close your eyes.”

He did, and you gingerly placed the pair woven flowers on both your heads. You gave him the okay to open his eyes. Your crown was adorned with a white ring of dandelions, while his was colorful carnations. He picked it up and examined it, smiled, and placed it back on his head. Now was the time for the real gift.

“Now for this one, you’re going to have to stand up.”

You both slowly got to your feet and you took a deep breath. You had asked him about it before, and he said he would, but you never had the courage to fully ask, until now. Last week, you went to Pamela for her blessing, and she accepted.

Getting down on one knee, you took out the small box from your pocket. Jason’s eyes widened.

“Jason Voorhees, you are the greatest person I’ve ever met. I love you with all I am.”

You opened it. It was a resin-topped wooden ring, with a recreation of how beautiful the camp was at night.

“Will you marry me?”

His eyes swelled with tears as he nodded. He picked you up in a hug and swung you around in the way you always loved. You put the ring on his finger.

Hey Love That’s the name we’ve long held back From the core of truth
