"As We Were"

Proposal

The sun was setting, casting a warm golden glow over the city as Sebastian and Vesper strolled hand in hand through the bustling streets. Sebastian couldn't help but feel a flutter in his chest as he looked at his boyfriend, the love of his life. They had been dating for several months now, and every moment spent with Vesper felt like a precious gift.

Vesper, with his messy raven-black hair and stunning violet eyes, was the epitome of handsome. His sharp jawline and chiseled features made Sebastian's heart skip a beat every time he caught a glimpse of them. Sebastian, on the other hand, was more on the reserved side, with his sandy blond hair and warm hazel eyes that sparkled with excitement.

As they walked, Vesper stopped suddenly, causing Sebastian to bump into him. Sebastian looked up at Vesper, puzzled, but before he could ask what was wrong, Vesper pointed to a park nearby. "Look," Vesper said with a smile, "there's a beautiful gazebo over there. Let's go check it out."

Sebastian followed Vesper's gaze and saw a charming white gazebo adorned with fairy lights, nestled amidst a garden of blooming flowers. It was a magical sight, and Sebastian couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. Vesper took Sebastian's hand and led him towards the gazebo.

Once they reached the gazebo, Vesper pulled Sebastian closer, and they stood in the center, surrounded by twinkling lights and the sweet scent of flowers. The air was charged with anticipation, and Sebastian's heart started to race.

Vesper turned to Sebastian, his violet eyes locked on Sebastian's hazel ones, and he spoke softly. "Sebastian, I've been meaning to tell you something." Sebastian's curiosity piqued as he looked at Vesper intently.

With a nervous but determined expression, Vesper got down on one knee, and Sebastian's breath caught in his throat. "Sebastian, you mean the world to me. You're my best friend, my confidant, and my soulmate. I can't imagine my life without you."

Sebastian's heart swelled with emotion as he realized what was happening. He felt tears welling up in his eyes as Vesper pulled out a small velvet box and opened it, revealing a beautiful ring that glimmered in the fading light.

"Sebastian, will you do me the honor of becoming my husband?" Vesper asked, his voice filled with sincerity and love.

Sebastian was speechless, his heart bursting with joy. He looked into Vesper's eyes, seeing the vulnerability and love in them, and without hesitation, he threw his arms around Vesper, pulling him into a tight embrace.

"Yes!" Sebastian exclaimed, his voice choked with emotion. "Yes, Vesper, I will marry you!"

Vesper's face broke into a radiant smile, and he slipped the ring onto Sebastian's finger. Sebastian admired the ring, feeling overwhelmed with happiness. He couldn't believe that the love of his life had just proposed to him in such a romantic setting.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, Vesper cupped Sebastian's face in his hands and leaned in, their lips meeting in a tender, passionate kiss. The world around them faded away, and it was just the two of them, lost in the moment.

Their first kiss as an engaged couple was electrifying, filled with love and promises for a future together. Sebastian melted into the kiss, his heart soaring with bliss. He felt overwhelmed with gratitude for having Vesper in his life, and he knew without a doubt that he had found his soulmate.

As they pulled away, Sebastian's heart swelled with pure elation. Craving for his touch again, he threw his arms around Vesper, pulling him into a tight embrace. Vesper's strong arms encircled Sebastian, holding him close, and the two men stood there, lost in the moment, feeling the beating of each other's hearts against their chests.

Sebastian's mind was a whirlwind of emotions, his heart bursting with love for Vesper. They had been through so much together - overcoming challenges, celebrating successes, and building a life of shared memories. This proposal was a culmination of their love, a promise of a future together, and Sebastian couldn't have been happier.

As they pulled back from their embrace, Sebastian leaned in and kissed Vesper again passionately. Their lips met, and fireworks seemed to explode in Sebastian's chest. It was a kiss filled with love, passion, and a sense of sheer bliss. Sebastian felt Vesper's hands cupping his face gently, their lips moving in perfect sync, as if they were made for each other.

Breaking the kiss, Sebastian looked into Vesper's eyes, his heart still pounding in his chest. "I love you," he breathed, his voice filled with sincerity.

Vesper's eyes sparkled with joy, and he smiled warmly at Sebastian. "I love you too, Seb," he said, his voice thick with emotion. "I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you."

Sebastian felt a rush of emotions as he looked at Vesper. He was overwhelmed with gratitude, happiness, and a sense of deep connection. He knew in that moment that Vesper was his soulmate, and he couldn't wait to embark on this new chapter of their lives together.

They sat down on the wood of the gazebo, their fingers still intertwined, as they watched the last rays of sun disappear beneath the horizon, painting the sky a black-and-blue beauty. The world seemed to stand still as they talked about their future together - the wedding, their dreams, and the adventures they would embark on as a married couple.

As the stars began to twinkle above them, Sebastian leaned his head against Vesper's shoulder, feeling a sense of peace and contentment wash over him. Vesper's arm wrapped around him protectively, and they sat there in silence, listening to the sound of trees rustling around them.

In that moment, Sebastian knew that his life was about to change in the most beautiful way possible. He was going to marry the love of his life, his partner, his best friend. And he couldn't wait for the new adventures that awaited them as they embarked on this journey together, hand in hand, hearts entwined.

With a heart full of love and hope for the future, Sebastian leaned over and whispered in Vesper's ear, "Thank you for making me the happiest man alive."

Vesper smiled and kissed Sebastian's forehead. "Thank you for saying yes," he whispered back, his voice filled with tenderness.

But that was long ago.
