Chapter Seventeen- The End
(Of the Beginning)

Johns hands shook nervously as he slipped on his ice skates. His nerves made him very aware of his surroundings. His boyfriend next to him - who smiled wide at the whole scene - patted his own knee and stood up next to him.

"Coming Johnny?" Paul asked, holding out a pale hand. John took Paul's hand and stood, leading him toward the ice. Paul made to let go of Johns hand, but John held tighter.

"John, what are you doing? Someone's going to see us!" Paul exclaimed in a whisper. He tried once more to free his hand, but again, Johns tightened. John leaned down to Paul and whispered,

"After tonight, no one will care that we ever held hands. Trust me," and he gave Paul's ear a small kiss and continued to lead him onto the ice where George and Ringo were waiting.

"Always knew you two were secretly sleepin' with each other!" George called when he spotted the couple, grinning from ear to ear and laughing. Beside him, Ringo swatted his arm playfully and smiled a bit.

"Shut up Georgie! You and Ringo are next!" John said as he and Paul reached the two. He didn't deny it, because he wouldn't lie to his friends, but he didn't embrace it either. But he was very sure that George and Ringo were together.

You could tell by the way that they always insisted to stay in their own room, and the way that Ringo just playfully hit George a moment ago. Or even the way they stand so close together, sharing glanced toward each other.

But tonight was their own night. He and Paul would be the highlight of the night. John wasn't sure, though, that he was going to like the attention.

John and Paul followed Ringo and George around the rink many times, barely getting noticed by anyone due to all of their snow gear.

Paul noticed Johns jumpy demeanor, but he was later distracted by the fat snow flakes that fell and melted against his cheeks. He constantly had to rub them out of his eyelashes, but it was all worth it. He glanced over at John, who turned and smiled back at him, though shakily.

"Johnny, do you think we'll ever get approved to get married?" Paul asked quietly, looking up at John.

"Certainly, I know we will," John said. He was certain. Because he already planned it out. That's what today was all about.

John suddenly wrapped his arm around Paul's waist and led him to the very center of the ice. The Christmas Tree's lights shone down brightly, giving the ice and them a golden glow. John stared at the gold reflected in Paul's eyes, just for a second.

"James Paul McCartney," John started loudly. People turned their heads and George and Ringo started to come towards them, though staying at a distance. John took both of Paul's hands and staring into his eyes, he continued, "I've known you since we were teenagers. We' be been bandmates ever since and I hope to stay like that forever. I soon came to fall in love with you." Paul looked around worriedly as John kept going. "We have had hard times, and that was hell for both of us. But now, it's all sorted out, and I know that what I'm about to do will bring more hell to us, but I know we can deal with it. Because we have power. That power is love."

John reached into his pocket and pulled out a small velvet box. He sank to one knee and presented Paul with a ring. Not an ordinary ring. This ring was made of not gold, but silver, and the stone was not diamond, but it was jade. It was unique. Just like their love. John took a deep breath and gave Paul a smile despite the gasps from around him.

"Macca, will you marry me?"

Shocked gasps echoed around him, but John could see from the corner of his eye Ringo hugging George and smiling. Paul stared wide eyed at John, and suddenly, arms wrapped around his neck.

"Yes, Johnny. Oh my god, yes!"
