✮ cw: brief mentions of being sick, like vomit etc. and a lot of sappy fluff, some smut but not very detailed and explicit. this is sooooooo cheesy ugh

it's hits him first when he surprises her with the tickets as a christmas present—tickets to japan for the coming spring. tickets to see the cherry blossoms that she's been dying to see ever since george showed her a few photos of him and the band in japan, laughing under the cherry blossoms, surrounded by pink petals.

her eyes go round at the sight of the tickets, lingering on the destination again and again until her brain catches up with exactly what's happening. then she grins so wide that she can't quite keep her eyes open and tackles george into a hug until he's on the floor and she's on top of him, kissing his whole face and mumbling thank you over and over again.

george hugs her tightly and laughs at her excitement.

it hits him then—he should buy a ring.

for weeks he pesters matty about it, then ross, then adam. adam, naturally, seems to have the most credibility on this matter, he's the only one of them who's ever made it to the marriage stage. george has a million and one questions about it, and a million and one anxious thoughts that just won't seem to go away.

"what if she hates the ring!"

"she loves you, she'll love the ring you get her."

"yeah but what if i blow it and say all the wrong things?!"

"have you ever done that in the past?"

"uh... no."

and this is where adam's patience runs thin.

ultimately, george is told to calm down, breathe, and pick a ring he thinks she'll like. george knows her like the back of his own hand—knows her likes and dislikes and pet peeves, knows the weird ribena flavours she prefers. he even knows that she is a little superstitious about broken mirrors and spilt salt but gets huffy when it's brought up (mostly by george in a fond, teasing way)

suffice it to say, george knows her. inside and out.

and so decides to get his shit together, and get her the most perfect ring he's ever seen.
