Beautiful

Chapter 20

Phil's POV

I could hardly take what was happening to me. Dan was being so sweet to me, opening up to me, and I was acting distant. I took in every word he was saying with intensity, but it was hard to not be preoccupied with how horrible I felt. I tried to stop him.

"Dan, I-"

"Hold on just a moment."

I squirmed internally as he proceeded. He kept talking in a manner that was so meaningful. I could tell he put a lot of thought into this speech, but why was he saying all this? That was when he completely shocked me.

"Philip Michael Lester, will you marry me?"

He was kneeled on the ground. He was proposing. It was what I craved this whole time!It's like he read my mind! I couldn't stop the tears from falling down my face.

"Dan...you really mean it?"

"Absolutely. You complete me, Phil. Please make me the happiest man in all of England."

"Yes Dan, yes, a thousand times yes! I'll marry you!" I exclaimed.

He gracefully slipped the ring on my finger. I wrapped my arms around his shoulders as he stood up and wrapped his arms around my waist.

"I love you, Daniel James Howell. I love you so much."

"Me too, Phil."

"I've been meaning to tell you," I said, still in his embrace, "The reason I've been sad lately is because I've been wanting you to marry me. I even thought it was too early, but I've been wanting you to ask me like crazy. I want you in my life forever. I'm so glad you did this today. Thank you. Thank you so much."

Thankfully he wasn't mad at all. He actually started laughing.

"Only you would thank someone asking to marry you," he said.

"Not just anyone. You, my Danny spawn," I giggled.


"Why are we such weebs?"

"Doesn't matter," I smiled matter of factly. "We're weebs in love."
