Rafe Cameron Imagines

the future

Rafe knew you were the one for him.

He had felt that very early into your relationship, he could just tell there was nobody else more perfect for him than you.

You felt the exact same way about him.

There was no other person who could ever understand and love you the way Rafe does. So intensely, so passionately it made your head spin sometimes.

When Rafe thought about the future, all kinds of possibilities swirled around in his mind, but one thing always remained the same.

You with him.

Even after 4 years, there was not even a single doubt in his mind that you were the only person he could ever think about spending the rest of his life with.

Which is exactly why he decided that it was finally time to make sure you would be with him forever, on a more official note from now on.

He was going to propose.

And he was freaking the fuck out.

He had planned everything out to a T, but now he was second guessing everything he had had in mind and stressing over everything to be perfect.

"I'm losing my shit" he had said when he burst into Wheezie's room, pacing around and breathing rapidly.

"Why?" the girl asked, looking confusedly at her older brother.

"I'm proposing to Y/N today and I'm so fucking stressed. I just want everything to be perfect for her but what if something happens? What if the dinner is a disaster? What if she doesn't like the ring? Oh my God, what if she says no?" 

"Rafe, calm down. We both know how much Y/N loves you, there is no way in hell she's going to say no. Just stay calm and do everything from your heart and it's all going to be okay" Wheezie said and rubbed a hand down Rafe's back, slowly but surely helping him calm down.

"You're right. I can do this, I've got this" he nodded and thanked his sister, planting a quick kiss on her temple before skipping down the hall to his room.

You were sitting there, having just woken up and were scrolling through your phone.

Upon hearing the door open, your eyes snapped to your boyfriend and a smile instantly made its way to your face. A smile that could have killed Rafe right then and there.

"Hey baby" you spoke, holding out your arms towards him in signal for a hug.

He smiled and came over, enveloping you in his arms after he pecked your lips.

"How'd you sleep?" he asked, his voice muffled because of your hair.

"Good, kinda sad you weren't here when I woke up. Where were you?" your voice was gentle, and Rafe's heart started beating faster because of how cute you were.

"Wheezie called me because she needed help with something. I just got back" he said, hoping you wouldn't see right through his lie like you usually did.

You nodded, too tired to overthink it or feel his heartbeat speed up.

"That's nice of you. I'm glad you two get along now" your voice was becoming more and more drowsy by the minute, the warmth from his body slowly lulling you to sleep.

"I have plans for us today, so we're gonna have to get ready soon" he rubbed his hand over your back, smiling once he saw how quick you straightened up and how brightly your eyes were sparkling.

"Yay!" you squealed and jumped up from the bed, instantly going into your shared closet to pick something cute to wear.

Rafe smiled at that and shook his head, the thought of the small velvet box resting safely in the pocked of his jacket dawning upon him.

He was really going to do it.

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3

After a whole day spent shopping, Rafe buying you everything that you had laid eyes on and liked, he took you to the beach where a cute little picnic had been waiting.

"Baby, you didn't have to do all of this" you wrapped your arms around his bicep, looking down at the little picnic your boyfriend had prepared.

"I know, but I wanted to spoil you for the day more than I usually do" he kissed your forehead and then helped you sit down before taking a seat next to you.

You watched Rafe as he started taking out each of your favorite meals out of a picnic basket and lining them all between the two of you, your body warming at the thought of how long it had taken him to set everything up and how much effort he had put into every little detail.

Lastly, he took out an old bottle of wine from his family's wine cellar and poured some of it in two glasses, clinking them and toasting for your love and relationship.

As the night slowly started settling in, after hours of eating little bites, having small conversations and just enjoying each other's company, Rafe took out some candles and started lighting them up, setting them in the shape of a heart all around you.

"You're awfully romantic today. Are you sure you're okay?" you chuckled and eyed him suspiciously, knowing from previous experiences that he always tended to be more affectionate after he would do something bad or stupid.

He laughed, shaking his head and taking your hand in his.

"I'm fine. I actually wanted to ask you something" you could feel some nervousness in his voice, but decided not to mention it.

"What is it?"

Rafe looked at you and took a deep breath before putting his hand inside of his jacket, slowly pulling out the velvet box he had been guarding with his life for the past weeks.

Your free hand immediately went to your mouth, your eyes darting between the box and your boyfriend.

"I know I'm not the perfect boyfriend, I'm far from it. We've had our shares of ups and downs these past 4 years but we came back stronger every single time. I cannot put into words how much I love you and how much better my life is with you in it. You're perfect for me, you put up with me even when you shouldn't and you love me despite of my flaws. I can't imagine living a life without you in it, every single time I think about my future, you are right there beside me, with our kids and pets and a big house with a pool just like you want. Y/N, my love, will you make me the happiest guy in the whole of OBX and marry me?" by the end of his speech, the both of you had tears streaming down your faces, emotions running high and all over the place.

You couldn't find the words to speak, instead opting to nod your head rapidly.

Rafe chuckled through his tears and took out the ring, slipping it on your ring finger. While the both of you stared at it, you felt as if it was made just for you, fitting perfectly on your finger.

"I love you so fucking much" you blabbered out before jumping in his arms, both of your bodies falling on the sand.

Rafe started laughing as he wrapped his arms around your body, the nerves finally leaving his body after so much time living stressed.

"I love you so much" he replied back, closing his eyes and savoring the feeling of holding you, his fiancé in his arms.

His fiancé.
