"I... I love you, Luke." Calum says nervously for the first time, beginning to shake his head slowly. "And I know it's early and I get you might not love me back but I just needed to let you know before I exploded and-"

The blue-eyed boy interrupts Calum with only his gaze and a hand on his cheek. They stare at each other, Luke just now registering and realizing that this is real, not just a dream.
Then Luke smiles, because he's been trying to say those words for a long time now, but has never had the courage. "I love you, too," he whispers, leaning in slowly.

-

"I love you," Calum says, nuzzling his face into the crook of Luke's neck. He breathes in deeply, closing his eyes and just letting the warm feeling crash over him. Luke's arms are wrapped around him tightly, and everything is peaceful.

His lover's steady breaths lull Calum farther into sleep, sinking even more into Luke's side. The blond boy's fingers are rubbing a small circle on the tan boy's skin, and replies sleepily, "I love you, too, darling." Calum sighs contentedly, a small smile resting on his lips as they finally slip into a wonderful sleep.

-

"I love you!" Calum says, jumping onto Luke's back as soon as their guitar and bass are taken away by the crew members. The adrenaline is pumping through both of their veins, still hyperactive from the show.

"Mph!" Luke half laughs, half groans, yet smiles and wraps his arms under Calum's thighs to hold him up.
The raven-haired boy pumps his fist into the air, whooping and saying how great of a show it was. As they near an empty hallway, he climbs off of Luke and moves to pin him up against the wall. Luke grabs Calum by the waist, pulling him in until their noses are touching and their breaths are fanning over each other's faces. "I love you, Cal," and neither of them can resist when his lips are on Calum's in .05 seconds.

-

"I. Love. You." Calum whispers firmly in between kisses to Luke's face.

Luke giggles, scrunching up his face, squirming under Calum's grasp.

"You're such a sap."

"But I'm your sap, baby."

Luke rolls his eyes, slinging his arms around Calum's neck. "You're so beautiful," he whispers, slowly leaning up but not quite kissing him. "You'll never know how hard I've fallen in love with you."

-

"I-I love you."

"I know, Calum. I love you, too. But you should have told me you were gone so long because your mom is in the fucking hospital."

Calum moves his head in something between a shake and a nod, looking down and sniffling. "I know, Luke, and I'm sorry. I just...didn't know how to tell you, and it hurts really really bad. She was my best friend, you know? When I had no one."

Luke nods. "I know, darling. We'll get through this together. Just...if you trust me, then tell me what you're feeling and how you're doing, emotionally, physically, etcetera."

Calum nods, smiling small. "God, you always know what to say."

Luke chuckles lightly, "I'd beg to differ."

-

"I love you, Luke, and I know I could never live without you. And I know this is the end of some cheesy romance movie, but you've always said how you wanted something like that. That it was your childhood dream to have your partner propose to you in one of those super cute and cliché ways. So, even though this is super cheesy and I really have no idea what I'm saying right now, because goddamn, you're so beautiful, but... Luke Hemmings, will you do the honor of letting me sweep you off your feet for the rest of your life?"

Luke nods, repeating "ohmygod" again and again. This is truly his dream come true. And while he would've loved Calum proposing to him in any sort of way, this, right here, in Amsterdam, under the stars, with people cooing and holding their breath around them, he is so reassured that Calum will do anything for him. And he'd do anything in return. "Yes, of course, yes."

Calum smiles and stands up, slipping the ring into Luke's shaking hands. Luke hugs him hard, only hearing his love's breaths and sweet nothings in his ear and in his heart. "I love you with everything I have."

-

"I love you," Calum mouths, slipping the ring onto his soon-to-be-husband's finger and resuming the position of holding his hand.

"I love you," Luke mouths back and grins, tears running down his cheeks.

Calum can't believe how stunning Luke looks in his white tux, his blue eyes and blond hair contrasting perfectly against Calum's black tux and brown eyes and hair.

It's one thing to marry the love of your life.

It's another to marry the love of your life when you were just validated.

-

"I love you," Luke whispers to Calum as they watch their 2-year-old recently adopted twins explore their new house.
Calum looks up to Luke who is crying, obviously trying not to draw attention to himself. Calum smiles, reaching up to wipe the tears off of the boy's face.

"You know," Calum whispers. I think I do know how hard you've fallen for me." Luke raises his eyebrow, wrapping his arms around Calum's waist. "Because I've fallen for you in ways you'll never know."
