(A year after Bow moved in with him)(Ray's POV)
It's been a year since Bow moved in with me, and I still haven't proposed to her yet... I really want to, but I'm too shy to ask her... What if she says no? Does she truly love me? Because I truly love her... I would do anything to keep her happy, and safe... I would risk my own life just to protect her... I already know my plans for my future with Bow. But, that's if she says yes if I ever propose to her. I already have the ring I need... I just don't have the confidence to ask. "Why am I so shy?" I asked myself out loud. "Because that's part of your personality." I heard Bow say. She over herd me. I looked up at her, and I was starting to feel nervous. "Ray... Is something wrong? Ya seem nervous..." Bow asked. That just made me even more nervous. "Uhh... I-I'm just g-gonna t-take a walk a-alone..." I said as I left the house. I had to calm myself down. I've never felt THIS nervous around her before... I was deeply in love with her when our relationship started, now I'm more than beyond deeply in love, and my feelings for her just keep getting stronger and stronger the more I think about her... And she's ALWAYS on my mind... Why can't ask her? It's only 4 words I have to say... Soon, I was at the spot where we first kissed. I had a flashback about that day. How was I confident to kiss her for the first time, but not this? I sat down on the ground, and looked at the ring I got to propose to Bow. She actually doesn't remember this, because she doesn't remember her childhood. But Bow was my first real friend that I ever had... I've known her ever scene I can remember. And honestly, I was often bullied because of my tail not matching my hair color... I know... It's crazy to judge someone just because of someone's tail not matching their hair color. I was the only one to have a different color tail. That's why I barley had any friends when I was in school. Plus, I'm really shy. But Bow was different from everyone else. She didn't mind that my tail didn't match. She actually gave me the idea for my outfit style so I started wearing white, black, and blue. Then when I was a teenager, I realized the truth that I had a massive crush on her... Plus her personality is what matters the most to me, not just how she looks. Bow is really kind, funny, caring... Well... Basically every good personality trait. The list could go on forever. I truly love Bow with all of my life. And it's true that she's the only one who's truly keeping me alive. There's some things that she doesn't know about me, but I don't want her to know because I don't want her to worry about me... The only thing she knows that would count as one of those things, is that I'm suicidal. Luckily, she gives me a reason to live. If I never met her, I wouldn't be who I am today, I wouldn't be alive... Bow saved my life... That's why I love her with all of my life... All because of who she is. I can't imagine my life without her... Later, I looked up a bit, and I saw Bow coming...! Panicking, I quickly closed the box the ring was in, and ended up pinching my paw on it. I quickly put it away so she wouldn't know that I had it. "Dang it...! That kinda hurt..." I whispered quietly while shaking my paw. I turned around and saw Bow. She looked worried... "Ray... You alright?" She asked. "Y-yea... I'm just nervous to ask you so-" I said as I stood up. I realized what I was saying, so I stopped myself. Bow looked really confused. "Ask me... What...?" Bow asked. I had no other choice... I had no other questions that I would ask her that would make me nervous, besides that one. I sighed, calming myself down. I'm finally going to ask her. I got down on one knee, and got out the box with the ring inside. "Bow... W-will y-you... M-m-marry m-me...?" I asked as I opened the box with the ring in it, and stuttering the whole question. Bow gasped and she put her paws on her chest. "YES!!! YES I WILL!!!" Bow yelled in excitement. I smiled as I stood up. I put the ring on her left paw. We looked at each other. Bow quickly got closer to me, and we kissed. Once we stopped kissing, I saw how happy she looked. I'm so glad that she said yes.
(Bow's POV)
I can't believe it! Ray finally asked me to marry him! "Do you recognize this spot?" Ray asked with a romantic tone in his voice. I looked around and saw it's the exact spot where we first kissed. I looked back at him. "This is the spot where we first kissed..." Then I realized something... He just proposed to me where we first kissed, and that kiss is how our relationship started. "Oh my gosh... You're way too sweet!" I added as I hugged him. "Nah... You're the one who's way too sweet..." Ray whispered into my ear. Once I looked into his eyes, he smiled. I want to stay next to Ray forever... Soon Ray sat down on the ground, and I sat next to him. I leaned on his shoulder. I wonder what our future will be like together... However it may be, I know our future will be more than good. I looked at the ring on my left paw, then I looked at Ray. He looked at me and we kissed again. Once we stopped, we star gazed like we usually do. I truly feel safe when I'm with him. Soon, I fell asleep while still leaning on his shoulder.
(Ray's POV)
I looked at Bow once she fell asleep. I picked her up as I stood up. She's not that heavy. I started to walk home. As I walked with Bow in my arms, I hummed a song called After Midnight. We both like to sing that song together. I guess I could say that's our love song... Plus one of the lyrics is true about myself. "I'll keep saving myself for you." That's the lyric... Now that it's official that Bow and I are getting married, I can start those plans I had in mind to make our future better. I want us to have a perfect life together. My first plan is up to Bow to decide. Cause I can imagine Bow as a mother, so pretty much it's for us to start our own family together. But I don't want to do it if she isn't ready. That's why it's up to her. I want her to be ready. My second plan is to protect her, and if we do end up having kids, then I'll protect our kids along with her. I'd do anything to keep her safe... For her, I'd win it all, or loose everything... Bow is everything to me... And like I mentioned, if we have kids, Bow and our possible future kids would be everything to me. My third plan is the one I'm mostly focused on. The third one is to truly make her feel happy, safe and loved. And of course, I would do that for our kids... If she's ever ready for that... Now when I think about it, I really hope we do start a family together. I'll do anything for her...
Once I got her back home, I still had her in my arms, and she was still asleep. I walked into the room and put her down on the bed, and put the blanket around her. I laid down next to her. I turned to her and I gently put my paw around her. I fell asleep. I will always love Bow no matter what. What would I have done without her? What if I never met her...? She's the one... Bow is my true love... Well... I hope she is. I never want to leave her side. I want her to be safe, happy, and most of all, loved. Bow's voice relaxes me... The way her accent is, and when she's relaxed, and if she talks... Her voice is super relaxing to listen to... I still have a massive crush on Bow... But now that I know how she feels about me, I'm not shy around her. My love for her never ends. I'm so happy when I'm with her... I love everything about her... Besides one thing... She tends to blame herself when she feels like something was her fault... She lost two of her best friends... They're still alive, but they're not really friends with her anymore. I don't know much what truly happened. I tried to ask her, but she always gets quiet whenever I ask about how. But all I know that this leaves her mentally in pain... I wish she didn't blame herself... It really hurts me when I see her in any kind of pain, I really hope that I make her happy... It's worth it just to see her smile... Every time I say that I love her, the more I mean it. I have no idea how to describe how much I love Bow...
"Bow, I truly love you with all of my life... The Midnight Starlight shines the brightest when you're around..."
