"Are you okay? You're awfully nervous," Jeff asked, worried about his boyfriend. They didn't often eat in such fancy restaurants. "We can go home if you want to."
"No, no, I'm fine," Nick assured him, fidgeting with his hands underneath the table.
"Nick." Jeff set his hand on Nick's arm, speaking softly. "If your anxiety's acting up, we can go home. We don't have to stay."
Nick chuckled, raising a hand to wipe tears from his eyes before they fell. "You're so sweet. You're so sweet. I don't know what I did to deserve you. I'm here trying to propose and you're telling me that it my anxiety's bad we can just go."
Jeff's eyes widened. "You what?"
Since he already knew, Nick got out of his chair, kneeling beside Jeff. He took the box out of his pocket. "I'm going to try to keep this short before I start bawling like a baby and ruin my eyeliner. I love you. I love you so much, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I want to spend my afterlife with you. I never want to be without you. You're my favorite person in the world.
"So... Jeffrey Sterling, will you marry me?"
Jeff covered his mouth and nose with his hands. He and Nick were both crying. He nodded.
"Is that a yes?"
"Yeah. Yes, yes, it's a yes," he managed to say.
Nick grinned, kissing him and sliding the ring on his finger with shaking hands. "I love you."
"I love you too. So much."
