the proposal

I really want a wesper proposal, but if there's a six of crows 3, it's not gonna happen without someone dying or something. So here's one free of death! This takes place maybe 8 or 9ish months after crooked kingdom.

Every Tuesday, Jesper and Wylan went on a date night. 

The thing was, they always went somewhere different. Because they never payed for the whole meal. 

Wylan hadn't been super keen on the idea when Jesper had first suggested it, but eventually he realized it was kind of fun. The thrill of tricking people, but it not being too illigal was fun sometimes.

Every week, they went to a new restaurant and faked a proposal. They used the same ring every time, (one Jesper had made as fabrikator practice) and it had successfully gotten them free dessert each time since they had thought of it 2 months ago.

That day, they decided to get waffles for dinner. Jesper had been complaining about how much he wanted waffles for the past week and Wylan eventually gave in. They didn't have too many good restaurants left in Ketterdam anyway. 

"Which shirt should I wear, Jes?" Wylan asked him that evening while they were getting ready to go out.

"Well if we weren't going anywhere, I'd go with none, but I don't think they would let us into the restaurant if you showed up half naked. So the yellow one."

Jesper had recently convinced Wylan to add a bit more colour to his wardrobe, especially yellow since it suited his sunshine so well. 

Wylan rolled his eyes and blushed, taking the shirt off it's hanger. "You'd like that, wouldn't you?"

"Well of course! I could never pass up a chance to see my little merchling in all his half-naked glory."

Once they arrived at the restaurant, they sat down and ordered their waffles; chocolate waffles with chocolate whipped cream and strawberries for Jesper, and normal waffles topped with whipped cream, caramel sauce, and pecans for wylan.

Since they had moved into the Van Eck mansion, they'd both become much better at communicating their feelings to each other. Jesper was still working on getting over his gambling addiction, but he still had some problems with it. Wylan was getting a lot better at seeing that he wasn't worthless and that he had people who cared about him. They were helping each other.

"Are you ready?" Wylan whispered. Tonight was his turn to propose.

"Yep. Go ahead." 

Wylan stood up, and then got down on one knee next to Jesper's chair. 

"My dearest Jesper, will you marry me?" he asked. They'd been having more fun with what they said during the proposals recently, and sometimes included fake crying from Jesper. Tonight seemed to be one of those nights. 

Jesper slapped a hand over his mouth. "Of course Wylan! I love you so much!" he stuttered between very unrealistic tears of joy.

The waitress walking past their table seemed to believe it though, because she smiled and some of the other customers started clapping. Wylan had to restrain his laughter. They were scamming a restaurant to get free waffles. This seemed a lot like something Nina would do. 

Wylan stood up and slid the ring onto Jesper's finger and he stood up, both of them smiling widely. They sat back down, and a waiter brought them their food. 

"Congratulations on the engagement!" he said. "I really hope you enjoy your food!"

"Thank you so much!" Jesper replied. 

Jesper loved doing this. It was just enough of a thrill to keep him distracted from gambling or getting into fights. But he really wished one of these times the proposal would be real. 

I could do it next week, he thought to himself. I could surprise Wylan and actually propose to him. 

They ate their waffles, then when they asked their waiter for the bill, he said it was compliments of the restaurant. Just as they planned. When the waiter walked away, Jesper squeezed Wylan's hand under the table and winked at him. 

They walked out of the restaurant together hand in hand, and once they had rounded the corner, Jesper passed the ring back to Wylan to be put back in it's box.

When they arrived back to the Van Eck mansion, Wylan asked Jesper if they could go for a short walk in the garden before returning to the house. 

"Of course." Jesper replied. "Anything to make my sunshine happy." 

As they walked through the moonlight, Wylan prepared himself. He stepped behind Jesper, knelt down on one knee, and called Jesper's name.

Jesper turned around and his eyes widened as Wylan pulled out the ring again. 

"Ever since I saw you in the tannery I knew I wanted to get to know you. Ever since I first came to the crow club I knew I wanted to spend lots of time with you. Ever since that day at the ice court when you told me you didn't just like girls, I knew I loved you. Ever since I saw you kiss that ugly mess of a boy, I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you." Wylan began.

Jesper couldn't believe what he was seeing. He loved Wylan and he knew Wylan loved him, but he'd never thought of it like that. He never thought Wylan would be the one to propose either. 

"Jesper Fahey, will you marry me?"

This time, Jesper actually started crying. He didn't like to cry but he couldn't help it. He was too happy. 

"Oh Wylan, of course! I love you so much. For future reference though, please don't bring Kuwei up while you're proposing to me." He shuddered.

Wylan laughed quietly.

So far, this had been the best day of his entire life.

The next day, Wylan and Jesper went on a picnic in a field near their house. They ate an apple pie that Wylan had baked earlier that morning, and layed on a blanket in the grass. 

When they finished eating, Jesper stood and pulled Wylan up with him. Together, they ran through the flowers, holding each other's hands.

"I'M MARRYING WYLAN VAN ECK!"

"AND I'M MARRYING JESPER LLEWELLYN FAHEY"

"Why'd you have to bring my middle name into this?"

The end! I'm thinking of writing their wedding, also free of death, let me know what you think!
