Bad Boys

21: Forever & Always

                              Forever & Always
                              (Jack's POV)
I could tell Arthur thought that I was mad at him, he was wrong, I could never be mad at him. I just wasn't myself and I couldn't be myself until I knew that 'the hooded man' was dead. My past ruined me forever with letting anyone take the reins on my life, it physically hurt me to know that I couldn't control everything and everyone in the world, that's why I was so assertive and stern with Arthur, I have to be the leader of this relationship or it just simply won't work out. As we were walking home I informed Arthur why I was 'mad at him' he of course understood but I could tell he was still very upset with the whole situation. Don't worry I'm going to make it up to him tonight, I'm going to give him the one and only night that will most certainly never leave his memory, and I would make damn sure of that! Arthur was and is my everything, I don't know how I ever lived without him.
(Arthur's POV)
Jack told me that he was mad because of everything that happened to him in his past and how it screwed him up. I didn't think that was a very good excuse for treating me so poorly but I brushed it off anyway. I wanted so badly for things to go back to normal between us but no matter how hard I tried I couldn't stop replaying in my mind how Jack actually dodged my kiss. Maybe he was starting to let go of his feeling for me, I wanted to cry but I couldn't let Jack see me in that state so I waited until we got home. As soon as we got home I darted for the bathroom and locked the door, as soon as I turned that lock my eyes filled with tears, I leaned my head on the back of the door as I slowly slid down. "Arthur? A-are you okay?" Jack said in a concerned tone. I couldn't Jack because then he would know I was crying and even if I could answer him I had no idea what I would even say. As Jack kept knocking on the door asking if I was okay I buried my head into my lap and kept saying "put on a happy face, put on a happy face." to myself, this was the only thing that seemed to calm me down. While I was in the bathroom for hours it gave a tons of time to think, I thought to myself that if Jack really was losing feeling for me then I might as well break things off with him before it crushes me even more. I don't think I could handle Jack saying "I think we should break up." I just couldn't, so I knew that I had too. I then opened the door..
                              (Jack's POV)
            Although Arthur didn't think I knew what he was doing, I did. By now I knew him better than my own hands, so I could tell when he was upset. I used this time to plan our evening, I knew he was going to be in there for awhile so I started to decorate for the occasion. I closed the curtains, replaced the lightbulbs with dim red lights, started a fire, got out two knifes, and a table. I sat down at the table and waited for Arthur to come out of the bathroom and face reality like the real man that I know he is.
                              (Arthur's POV)
            When I walked out of the bathroom to tell Jack what I was thinking, I saw our room decorated, everything was black and red, he was sitting at the table with his arms crossed by two black daggers, I was so confused to what was happening. "W-what the hell is this?" I said while laughing. Jack got up from the table and walked closer to me, he got right up to my body then grabbed my hands and knelt down, "Arthur, my dearest Arthur, I don't want to spend another second without you in my arms, I want you in my life and I want you in it forever. Will you do me the honors and let me be your forever and always?" Both my hands went up and over my mouth, I couldn't believe it, he does love me still, I don't have to break up with! After a few minutes of me being in complete and utter shock I answered him with, "Oh Jack, of course I will marry you!" Jack got up from his knee and kissed me, he grabbed my body and did a dip kiss. He then took my hand and walked me over to the table, "Now I don't believe in all the wedding shit, we gotta do this the right way, we gotta seal our love with what they call 'The Bloody Osculate' we must each cut one another's lips into the Glasgow Smile, spread the other ones blood to seal the wound and kiss. Now are you in for this?" I shook my head, "There's nothing that would ever stop me from wanting to marry you!" I said sweetly. We both grabbed a knife then slowly cut the Glasgow Smile into our faces as we shed a few tears. Although it was very painful we then sealed our love with 'The Bloody Osculate' "Come here you" Jack said as he gabbed me and started to unzip me, he then spat the blood from his lips into his hands and rubbed me down with it and I put my arms on the table as he pounded away. "Ah fuck I love you!" Jack said after we finished and laid down in our bed together. I moved closer to Jack as if I could get any closer and said "Jack, I love you!" I started to cry in his arms, I was so overwhelmed with love for him at that point I couldn't refrain from crying. As I was crying Jack whispered in my ear, "We've been a couple of bad boys you and I. And I fuckin love it!"
