Alex's POV

I had hoped that after the power came back on that Jack would of dropped the fact I was being off with him during the night of Christmas, but no. I guess if he was about to propose to me and chickened out, I would of done the same. But now we hadn't even spoken for days. I checked my phone 4pm and he was still asleep? Not for much longer. I pounced onto his bed, well our bed but hey I'd been in the spare room for god knows how long now, causing him to stir in his sleep. "I've missed you." He clung to me as if he were my mother and I was a child who had been lost in some sort of storm. "Woah, dude. I didn't go anywhere. It's okay." I shh'ed him and smoothed down his bed head that was prickling me in the face. "Don't leave me. Ever." He cried into my chest, completey ruining my fresh shirt but whatever I couldn't exactly yell at him. "It's new years eve Jay. Zack and Ri's party!" I tried to sound enthusiastic even though I knew that we both would rather count hairs on our bodies and trust me, that would be impossible.

"Do we have to?" He mumbled whilst breaking free from my grasp to rumage through our wardrobe. "What on earth is this.." I smirked up at him realising I'd thrown everything at him and I couldn't even see his face. A freakin vibrator, seriously how did I not know. "HEY NO!" He yelled as I hid it behind my back causing him to topple over me, "What else you got, Mr.Kink?" I chuckled devilishly watching him become flustered as I delved deeper into the draw. "Maybe you'll find out." He sat himself in my lap before slamming the chest closed. "Well maybe if you put your clothes on then maybe we can get going?" He grunted under his breath before obliging and dropping his pants to put his new ones on. I took one last glimpse before heading down stairs to get my shoes on. Shortly Jack tumbled down and dived onto me causing an outburst of laughter and swearing. His hands snaked up my shirt as he began to tickle my sides and had me wriggling underneath him trying to escape his grasp, "Jay! J-St-op!" I gasped for air between chuckling.

Jack's POV

Alex was in motion of locking the door when I squeezed him with both arms around his waist, lightly kissing any bare skin that was showing. "What is it with you today?" He swatted me away with his hand as I jumped onto his back, "Jack wants a piggyback." I hummed in his ear, securing myself with my legs. "Want doesn't get." He jumped, causing me to become more safe. "Well you just can't resist me." I chuckled to myself, throwing my arms around his neck and resting my head on his shoulder. "Don't go to sleep up there J, we gotta party hard tonight." Alex said whilst knocking on the door, attempting to get me down but hell, I was not moving. "Ayeee! Lex!" Rian grinned, going in for a hug but shortly realising he couldn't due to the fact I was there. "My Alex." I grinned to myself before hoping down and pulling him into the main room where I was blinded and deafened by the lights and music but hey, Alex was already getting into the swing of things, grinding down on me.

Party mode enabled. Ri and Zack made their way to the floor, hands entwined. Although when they were drunk it was a whole other story so it was our mission to keep the alcohol away from them..maybe by having it ourselves..but whatever. We hadn't been drunk since we were teenagers so really there was no harm. "Hey, Jack?" I realised I'd been zoned out at Alex's crotch for ages, "I-uh-need drink?" I questioned myself which I regretted because Alex knew the truth. Just how horny I was. Dammit I'm Jack frigging Barakat of course I'm horny, when aren't I? "Jay, you're okay. We're fine now. Don't worry. I'll never leave you." He said out of the blue before handing me another drink. What did he even mean? Okay. I'd been with him for over ten years, through thick and thin, (kinky) dammit Jack be serious for once. I couldn't picture myself being with anyone but him, I couldn't picture myself being happy with anyone but him, fuck. Alex. It had always been Alex and it always will be. Maybe just maybe I'd propose sooner or later. I thought Alex would of been the one to ask but maybe I should grow some balls for once and ask.

"Come here beautiful." Alex grasped my hand into his, leading us into the back garden, sitting on the patio. "Listen. Jack Bassam Barakat. Will you-" "Come back and party guy's! It's nowhere near over yet!" Zack pulled us back inside into a crowd full of people I didn't even know, cheers. Alex was being serious with me and now look what happened, cock block of the century.

Alex's POV

Before I knew it I was being carried over someone's shoulder and wherever we were it was cold, "J-jay?" I called out until the music blasted again. "Ready?" He smiled, dropping me down. I forgot they'd had a pool fitted, I slipped down into my boxers and nodded. There were people around us we didn't even know but whatever, aslong as I had Jack. Who was now canon-balling me into the water with him following. He signalled his head to the shallow side, I followed after checking no one else was going too. "You completely blacked out back there and then Rian moved everyone to the pool so, here we are." I couldn't help but grin to myself that here we were floating around a pool on our own seen as everyone else had gone inside due to the fact I was passed out for a good two hours which meant- "3, 2, 1." We both counted down slowly before kissing. We'd done it every year since we'd been together so why would it change now? Making our way into Rian's he decided to run ahead a little, what was he doing. By the time I got there Jack was changed, knealing down. Had he dropped something? I decided to join him, "What've you lost now?" I moaned until I realised a whole crowd of people appeared. I started to panic and shake, I couldn't help it anymore, "Alexander," I sighed at that, I hated my full name. "William Gaskarth. Marry me you fool?" At this point I was bawling with tears and decided just nodding my head would be the best idea. Rian was the first one to start clapping and cheering as I jumped into Jack's arms and wrapped my legs around him.

"Let's go home." He softly whispered into my hair. This year was going to be ours and we were going to be official after all these years.

SO I FINALLY DID IT. THEY'RE ENGAGED IT'S RUBBISH BUT THIS UPDATE IS LONG OVER DUE SO HERE. IT'S SOMETHING. ^.^
