"WHAT! WHERE?" Percy snapped out of his earlier thoughts, "NO! THIS CANNOT BE HAPPENING! THIS IS NOT PART OF THE PLAN!!" Percy yelled out in fear while spinning, trying to find the direction of the stage.
"Plan?" Said a raspy voice, "What plan?" Percy looked over to where the statement came from. That's when he noticed his boyfriend, walking over with his hands in his pockets with an eyebrow raised. "If you're planning on ruining graduation, at least let me help." Finn joked.
"What? Plan? I...I didn't say plan, I um...I...I said....plant."
"Plant?" Finn had a challenging grin on his face as he draped his arms around his flustered boyfriend's neck, clasping his fingers together in the back.
"Yes, plant," Percy said with the slightest bit of confidence this time. "Amber asked if dirt was part of the plant over there, and I told her it wasn't." Finn chuckled knowing that Percy was a bad liar.
"Well, you can continue your plant conversation later, the ceremony is starting," Finn said, making air quotes around the word plant. He placed a light peck on Percy's lips before grasping his hand and leading him to their seats.
Throughout the entire ceremony, Finn noticed that Percy looked anxious, but he just passed it off as the stress of graduating.
After the ceremony had ended, Finn looked over to find that Percy had already run off. He was about to get up and call his lover when a small sheet of paper laying across the others' seat caught his eye. The rectangular piece of paper had bold blue lettering that read, "Meet me where we shared our first kiss." Finn processed the words on the paper, "The park" he whispered as he grabbed his coat and ran to where the note implied.
"Oh, no," Percy said as he frantically searched his pockets.
"What is it, Percy?" Amber questioned.
"I...I must have left the ring in my car," Percy said as he sank to the ground with his face in his palms.
"Percy, calm down..." Amber got cut off.
"I CAN'T CALM DOWN!" Percy shot up looking at his sister. "FINN WILL BE HERE ANY MINUTE, AND I DON'T HAVE A RING!" At this point, Percy was having a full-blown panic attack which meant his sister had to come up with something...fast.
Finn was taking a little longer than he anticipated because he kept getting stopped by people saying congratulations and asking about his plans for the future, to which he responded that he didn't know what his future had in store for him.
