------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3rd Person POV:
Once the boxes were revealed, both men were overwhelmed with emotion, Charlie more than Nick. He still struggled to believe that he deserved Nick, he wanted to be the first to propose but he thumbled over his words and kept crying.
Nick's POV:
Charlie tried to start talking but he was balling his eyes out so badly, "How about I start?" I say finally, I'm crying to but am trying to hold myself together. Charlie just nods, I take his hands in mine. "Char, 5 years ago you walked into our form and our eyes met across the room. It was quite literally like our own teen romance. Months later, we came to this spot and I told you I was ready to come out." I said, "You gave me all the time I needed to feel comfortable with who I was, and I know both of us have had our struggles, separately and as a couple but we've pushed through together. And I know how you feel about yourself and you think you ruin my life but you've made it so much better and if you'll have me I'll spend everyday of our lives making you feel the way that you've made me feel because a life without you in it, is one not worth living. So.." I get down on one knee holding the ring in one hand and Charlie's hand with the other, tears are falling down both our faces, "Charlie Francis Spring, will you make me the happiest man alive and marry me?"
Charlie's POV:
I'm so overwhelmed, but I know relief has also washed over me knowing that Nick was in the same position as me. I get down on my knee, to be at his level, "Nick, I.." I start I'm getting overwhelmed again Nick rubs my hand "It's ok, I can do this." I say reassuring him "I always thought that all I did was ruin people's lives and that everyone's lives would be better if I didn't exist. Until you showed up in my life, you make me happier than I ever thought I'd be. I want to spend the rest of my life loving you and being you, you are the kindest and most loving person I've ever met. You were there for me at my lowest with the bullying, my relapses, my attempts and every challenge we've gone through. So Nick Luke Nelson, will you marry me?"
We exchange rings and hold each other in our arms before sharing the most amazing kiss, our friends and my siblings come out and congratulate us "You guys set this up?" I say, "Yeah we knew you both wanted to propose and set up a double proposal." Tao said, "We are such meddlers." Darcy said.
Nick's POV:
I couldn't help staring at my soulmate, my fiancee, my Charlie. He was so perfect, how did I get so lucky? He caught me staring, he smiled at me his dimples standing out, "What?" he asks "I wanna do something?" I tell him, he stares at me confused so did everyone else. "Okay, what is it? Is everything okay?" I smiled wider "Yeah I just, I love you." "I love you too." I picked him up and ran us into the water ,"Not again, don't drop me!" he said "I'm your fiancee! You're my fiancee! We're engaged!" I whopped, spinning us around until I lost my balance and we fell in. Our friends laughed at us and we laughed at each other.
We all went out for drinks with the gang and our parents when they found out we were engaged, before me and Charlie went home and spent the night together. "I love you, Mr Nelson." I say to Charlie, he smiles and responds "I love you too Mr Spring."
A/N so sorry it took so long for this part to come out and I hope it was worth the wait.
