When Luke and I get back to the house I have him pressed against the door as I try to unlock it. We finally make it inside and Luke pulls me to the bedroom, leaving a trail of clothes behind us.

"I love you." I mumble into Luke's mouth.

"God, I love you, too." He says back.

When I wake up the next morning, Luke is in the kitchen making pancakes.

"Morning." I say, my voice still groggy.

"Morning, baby. Sleep well?" He asks, kissing my temple.

"Yea, I did. I had this weird dream though." I say, digging into my pancakes, "You and I were coming home from our date and when we got inside Michael and Calum killed us. It was really bad." Luke comes over and kisses me gently.

"They can't hurt us anymore." He whispers. I nod and we eat our breakfast together.

"Ashton, where are we going?" Luke giggles.

"Almost there." I smile, leading him further into the woods. When we get to our destination I pull Luke's blind fold off and he gasps.

"Wh- what are we doing here?" He asks. I take both of his hands in mine and begin the speech I recited.

"I've known you since I was a baby. We grew up together. And we played here all the time. Half of our live memories are here. It's where we came out to each other. It's where you asked me to be your boyfriend. This is the place where we shared our first kiss. This is the place where I made love to you for the first time. This is our place, Luke. We have tons of memories here, and I want to make more." I get down on one knee and open the ring box that's been in my hand.

"Luke, will you marry me so we can make more memories?" I say. Luke begins crying as he nods his head yes. I smile and stand to put the simple silver band on his finger before kissing him passionately.

As time went on, Luke and Ashton got married. They had a small ceremony at their lake before jetting off on a British honeymoon.

Two years into the marriage the boys adopted their first child, Lucia Francine Irwin. When Lucia was around five they adopted their second child, Finn James Irwin.

Luke and Ashton grow old together, always being proud of who they are. Because why would they be ashamed of who they fell in love with?
