For the next few weeks, Arny became more comfortable with me being out on my own. Pete had been gone ever since the day after the fair. Danny came over every other night for TV shows, games, and/or dinner. Trixx and Apollo actually ended up not being a concern- He might think she is too big to be prey. I mean, she is as big if not bigger than him.
I got a new job at the bike shop, and visited the pet store frequently to just see if I could help out free of charge. There were a few times that they had me accompany them to pick up kittens from the local animal shelter so that they could put them up for adoption in the store- which made more room in the shelter for more.
Currently, I was sitting in the grassy part of the culdesac with the bunny, just watching her nibble away at the greenery. I usually bought her cilantro, bags of hay, and other healthy greens that she needed, but the grass needed trimming anyways.
After I put her in the house, I decided it was a nice enough day to wash the vehicles. I put some soap into a bucket, and grabbed scrubbies and sponges. I washed my bike first since it's smaller, and then Arny's car. I also vacuumed his seats, floorboards, and trunk out. I checked our oil, coolant, and washer fluid levels. I also checked the tire pressure since the heat causes things to expand.
I was finishing wrapping up the extension cord for the vacuum when Arny's strong arms wrapped around my waist. He picked me up and carried me inside.
" Arny! Put me down! I wasn't done!" I complained, but he paid no attention. He carried me into the bedroom, and threw me onto the bed. I laughed and sat up, wondering what shenanigans he was up to this time.
" I want to talk about something serious, and I honestly don't know how you will react." I sat up more seriously now. Is this a bad conversation?
He must've read my mind because he quickly assured me it was nothing bad. Just very different and very new territory.
" I want to know... if you want to spend the rest of your life with me. Kids, marriage, moving into a bigger, better home, the whole sha-bang." He anxiously stared at me, waiting for a response.
" I- of course I do! Absolutely I do! Why is that even a question?" I held his hands, and he pulled them away. I was really confused now. He walked into the hallway, and opened the cupboard in the wall. He came back, and just stood there.
I got up and sat at the edge of the bed. " What is it, Arny?" I was tired of this bullshit waiting game.
He kneeled down to 1 knee, and I knew immediately. My heart stopped. No fucking way...
" Taelor, you've made me the happiest fucking person on Earth. We've gone through some hard shit, but we GOT THROUGH IT! And ever since we have, I've known I wanted to marry you. I knew we were perfect, and that we could get through anything. So I am asking you, right here in our own bedroom because I'm lame, if you will marry me? And have children with me, and grow old with me, and-" I jumped onto him, knocking him flat to the ground.
" I wouldn't care if you proposed to me while I was taking a shit- Yes! YES A THOUSAND TIMES YES!!!" I kissed him, tearing up. I suddenly heard party noise makers, and Danny and Pete emerged from our closet. Pete of course was videoing.
" Yes! My best friends most wholesome moment caught on camera! Hell yea!" I laughed, and kissed my fiance.
I was about to ask how long they'd been hiding in there,

.... But I woke up to the sound of a trucking beeping, like it was backing up. Wild ass fucking dream, Goddamn- I looked outside, and it was a moving truck. It was shut off, and a boy with pale white skin and black curly hair came around to the back of the truck to open it up. HOLY FUCKING SHIT! It's HIM, it's ARNY from my dream! Holy mother of-

Author's Note: Yes it was all a dream- and a horrifying nightmar. But a dream because we can relate to Taelor the most- we all dream of being Arny's forever love. Please remember that this is fiction and probably not accurate to how any of the boys would act in reality. I hope you enjoyed. This is my first time writing a story after 2 years of being on a haitus, so it might be iffy!

Arny, if you're reading this- and I'm not expecting you to- I hope you liked the story, and also never figure out who I am because I'd be super embarrassed.

Also- someone else made that collage I used for the photo above. They are in the birlap_ discord and you can find their username and this photo under the fan art section!
