Henry's POV
I paced around the room in concern of my future choices. Today was the day I was going to propose to the love of my life. I had been married before but the love and connection I have with him was different. I felt cared for and in love. I was nothing but unsure of the date I set up for us. Merely convincing him to go out on Christmas Eve was a challenge in itself. William was outside, waiting for me so stalling was all I could do.

Deciding to prevent my meltdown, I looked out the window. Snow was failing at a fast pace and the weather forecast said it should be dimmer by evening. Evening ever so happens to be when I would propose. The kids were with Charlie's mom for the day so there was nothing in the way. Well, besides my anxiety of course. My need for everything to be perfect is definitely backfiring right now. 'God, what if everything goes wrong? What if I forgot something he wanted? What if he doesn't like the ring? What if he doesn't want me anymore? What if....'The "What ifs" were swirling in my head giving me a headache. Then, I thought of the worst one yet....

What if he says no?

William's POV
The icy cold snow fell down as I looked out the window. Today was the day. No more holding back. This feeling has been going on for some time. I have to finally face it. My hands met the cold and ice-like temperature of the ring. Nothing more than a small gem but the meaning behind it means so much more. I couldn't wait to give this. Today was the day I would propose.

I was waiting for Henry to finish getting ready so we could go out. He hadn't told me where we were going but I knew we we're going to have dinner at a fancy restaurant. I would love to propose there but it feels cheesy and awkward with basically everyone and their mother watching.

—————————————————————
After 10 mins, Henry was done and we hopped in the car to get to the restaurant in time for our reservation. Once we arrived and got to our table, I could see something was off with Henry.

I knew he was an anxious man but this was different. The way his eyes scanned the menu was frantic and anytime I asked him something, he was a red mess. The waiter came over to get our orders and he seemed perfectly fine.

"Are you okay my love?" I asked him as I grabbed his hand once the waiter left. He looked at my with his glasses slightly down. Pushing them back into place, caressed his face lightly since he loved it. "I'm fine but I just worried about something but it's more of something no worth worrying about." He said while smiling at me and leaning into my touch. I hummed an okay and the dinner went lovely.

—————————————————————
I could see why Henry was a bit off. After our dinner, we went to a roller skating rink that was surprisingly open. It was just us yet felt like a movie. A comedy movie instead of romance due to how horrible Henry was at skating. I helped him but felt like a professional since my brothers and I used to skate all the time.

Once we felt we should stop (and felt like throwing up but luckily we didn't), the two of us went to a park that had many different sections for didn't actives. We walked around for a bit before I knew it was time. Pulling him from the walkway and near a place with beautiful scenery (that I loved), I mentally prepared myself one last time.

Henry's POV
The night was nothing less than perfect. Dinner was amazing, I sucked ass at roller skating and now we walked together looking at the greenery. All of a sudden, William pulled me aside and got down on one knee. And in that moment, three main things were going through my mind.

1: 'Holy shit, he's pretty. Those eyes could be cut out and put in a container. They're that pretty.'

2: 'Wait- Is he about to propose!?'

3: 'fuck.'

I could barely comprehend what was happening for a moment while spacing out until he grabbed my hand.

"I love you with everything I have. I can't even begin to explain how much you've saved me from myself. Even saving others from me. I could tell the moment I saw you, I wanted you by my side through everything. So, Henry Andrew Emily..."

As I looked at him, I could see his eyes filled with nothing but love. They sparked in the last of the sun's light as it went down.

"Will you marry me?"

Shitty Titty. This is a tough one.

"Um, Liam.... I think this might be awkward to say.." I started while pulling out the box that held the emerald and violet ring from my pocket. His face went from fearful to surprised. "I was going to do this too. Like, it's the only reason I wanted to take you out" I told him with a little laugh.

"Oh shit."

William's POV
Well, this is awkward. Damn. Henry laughed a little again then got down on one knee too. "How about we just do it together?" He asked with a smile I love to see. I nodded as he opened up his box to reveal a sparkling ring. In the middle were my (soon to be) initials, "W.E". Looking up at him he had a tears in his eyes as he looked at what I had gotten him. It was a golden ring with his name but my last name. We have similar tastes.

Looking at each other, I repeated my little speech while he told me his. In sync, we popped the question and said yes.

Timeskip: They're in a (private) park area (idk)

"Hey Liam, should we get married this year or next year?" Henry asked as we laid down in the grass while stargazing. I thought about it for a second.

"After this, we would have Christmas while tell the kids of our engagement, then have our little New Years party, and maybe wait until after March to get married." I said then quickly adding, "As long as you want to do it too though."

Henry hummed in what I think was agreement and then turned to face me. We looked into each other's eyes and it felt as if time slowed down. He lightly grabbed my face and brought it to him. The kiss we shared was long, filled with love and passion.

"I love you William."

"I love you too Henry."

This was one of the best times of our lives.

With many more to come.
