I'm pacing back and forth in the bedroom, struggling and literally frying my brain. What the hell is wrong with me? What can't I come up with something!? This is gonna eat me alive!

In case you're wondering, I'm trying to come up with a way to propose to Marco. Yes, I want to marry the little cute bastard. But I want it to be special, I want it to be awesome, but I have absolutely no clue as to how I can do that. I can't ask anyone, cause they'll probably ruin it or tell Marco.

Freckles is out grocery shopping so he left me home alone, leaving my frustration eat me alive. I feel like when he comes home he'll find my body on the floor all tight in a ball, and me just groaning to myself cause my brain has been burned. Holy shit how come this is so hard!

"Okay Jean. Calm down. Just sit and think."

I go sit on the bed and then realize what I just did. Jesus Christ all this thinking is making me go crazy. I sigh and try to figure out what I can do to propose. I don't want it to be over the top, because Marco is a really simple guy. Wait a second...

"That's it!"

I got it! I come up with a plan and go over it in my head again and again, making sure I don't forget what to do. Marco is a simple guy, and just the smallest of things can make him happy. As I think over my plan again, it seems so fool proof and perfect! I'm a genius!

I'll propose in the most un obvious way possible. He won't even see it coming!

"Jean, I'm back!"

"Welcome home~!"

I rush up to the door like a dog rushing to its master. I smile at Marco and lean up to kiss his cheek, making him chuckle and blush slightly. I help him carry bags to the kitchen.

"Hey Freckles, wanna play a video game today? I got that new one, Octodad."

"Really?! No way! Heck yeah! Hurry up I wanna play!"

Marco smiles happily and starts putting the groceries away a little faster. I laugh and decide to help him out. After all the food is put away and the bags are gone, me and Marco walk into the living room and I set up the game.

"Marco, be right back. Just gonna take a quick pee break."

"Thank you for the info Jean..."

"You're quite welcome!"

He laughs and shoos me away. I walk into the bathroom and lean over the sink taking deep breaths. I'm feeling a little bit nervous. I know he'll say yes, but I still feel a little bit scared. I look in the mirror and sigh, soon flushing the toilet so Marco doesn't think I'm actually starting to go insane.

Before I go back into the living room I go in the bedroom and grab a velvet box on top of the drawer and shove it in my pocket, walking out.

"Alright, time for some Octodad!"

"WHOO!"

I laugh and sit next to Marco and begin playing. He let me go first, and chose the wedding part. Jeez really now that is making me feel all sorts of emotions. I try to move the stupid characters, but it's really confusing.

I struggle a bit, Marco chuckling beside me, and I finally manage to do the task.

"Find the bow-tie?! Hell no Marco you go hurry."

"Haha! Alright! Gladly!"

Marco takes the controller and begins to play. I watch as he plays the game, looking seriously at the tv screen as he try's to move around. He's so distracted right now.

Perfect.

I wait until he gives up, and before he looks at me I pull out the box and open it, waiting for his eyes to spot the ring. As he turns his head, the controller drops on the couch and his hand goes to cover his mouth.

"...J-Jean?"

"Marco...i've been planning this for a while now, I would've done this a lot sooner, but I wanted to make it special. But then I remembered that it's just so easy to make you happy. I know this May not be the proposal of your dreams and such...but..."

I blush at him but smile. He has tears brimming his eyes as he stares at me. I can tell he's smiling even with his hand covering it.

"Marco Bodt...will you please marry me?"

My breathing stops as I wait anxiously for his reply. Before I know it he practically jumps into my arms, crying and hugging me tight. My eyes widened a bit, not expecting that to happen. He looks up and kisses me passionately.

"Jean...yes. Yes, of course. Absolutely!"

"Really?! Great!!!"

My heart starts beating wildly as I grab Marco's left hand and slide the ring on his ring finger with shaking hands. I intertwine our fingers and smile at him, Marco smiling back as tears still stream down his face.

"I love you Freckles. Forever and ever."

"...I love to too Jean."
