yall live in america in this one lol

and you are going into your senior year of high school.

"(y/n), I said no and that is my final answer." my mother explained once more. "come on mom please! finn and I haven't seen each other since school ended! he's finally available today and he won't be for the rest of the month! please mom, I'm begging you." I plead, knees on the ground as if I'm confessing all of my sins on the day of reckoning.

"we have too many things to do today, we have too much to do today and many of your family members are visiting from out of state. your aunt may and cousin peter are coming in all the way from queens for christ's sake! you're not missing out on today for your boyfriend, and that is the end of it." her face turned red from the outburst. I groaned dramatically and walked off to my room.

my boyfriend, finn, had surprised me this morning by FaceTiming me and screaming that he had a free day to hang out with me. the only problem with that is: it's the 4th of july, only the most important holiday in my family. apparently we're related to some dude that signed the declaration of independence or something? I'm not sure, but it was extremely inconvenient. finn didn't have anything to do today because his family is from canada, and since it was a national holiday nothing was going on for him.

I flopped down onto my bed and picked up my phone to call finn. he immediately answers, "so what did she say?" he asks impatiently. I sigh, "she said no, apparently there's too much shit to do." I can just feel finn's face drop, he groans in disappointment. "well, we tried." he exhales in defeat. "don't worry, we'll see each other soon enough." I assure him. "maybe not on a national holiday next time." I giggle, trying to lighten the mood.

we talk for a few more minutes before my dad barges in and tells me that we have to go. I groan and reluctantly drag myself into the car for even more fourth of july festivities.

~~~~~~~~~

it's 10:00pm now, and I had just gotten home about a half hour ago. I was completely drained from all of the events of the day. sure, it was fun hanging out with my cousins, especially peter who I get to see hardly ever, but I really missed finn.

I lied on my bed, just dreaming of the day we'll be by each other's side again, when I heard a quiet knock on my window. I jolt up to see a darkish figure.

finn?!

I practically sprint to the window and open it impatiently. I was right!

"oh my god! finn! I can't believe you're here!" I whisper shout, wrapping my arms around him in almost a strangling fashion. "fuck I missed you, love." he whispers into my neck. we break apart in the slightest just to reunite our connection once again, this time with our lips. god did I miss these kisses. he was always passionate, but gentle, as if I were a delicate china cup. his lips always tasted like fresh fruit, with a hint of salt, which balanced out the sweetness.

finn pulled his lips away from mine, a small whimper exiting my throat from the lack of contact. he pressed his soft forehead to mine. "hey, why don't we blow this place and go somewhere more exciting?" he smiled. I felt his warm breath brush against my skin, like a summer breeze. "yeah, I would like that." I answer, a goofy smile plastered on my face.

as soon as I finish my sentence, I'm whisked out of the window and being carried down an empty street. I giggle uncontrollably as I bounce in his arms. being carried was always a lot more fun than other modes of transportation.

about five blocks later, finn puts me down to catch his breath. "ah fuck, you're a lot heavier that you look. I'm an actor not john cena." he jokes. I laugh and punch him the arm playfully. "hey! fuckhead, that was mean!" I laugh. he perks his head up and brings his face close to mine. "you love me." he states, elongating the words. "yes, yes I do." I confirm, pecking his soft cheek.

we walk for a while more, and I begin to conclude where we're going. I remember taking these same streets to a specific hill I went to all the time with finn. we would go up there after long days of school, talk and joke and mess around. it was fun. I have so many amazing memories of that place, in fact that's where finn asked me to be his girlfriend. in the summer of 8th grade. he was about to leave for filming the hit series "stranger things", and he reasoned that because he was going to be gone, he wanted to make sure I wouldn't move on or loose any feelings he thought I had. it was super sweet and cringy but I still think about it every day.

we come to the bottom of the hill, it's a lot smaller then I remember. finn grabbed my hand and held it all the way to the top of the hill. my mouth dropped at the sight.

a white blanket draped over the ground, candles framing the scene. flowers and other assortments of cute knick-knacks sprinkled around the creamy white covering. and, to top it all off, a beautifully placed picnic set in the middle.

"finn, this is so beautiful. you didn't have to do all of this." I say, mouth agape. "but I wanted to, I love surprising you." he smiles, planting a small kiss on my nose.

we sit down and begin to eat. he brought all of my favorite food, I couldn't help but smile through the whole thing.

I hear loud kabooms out in the distance. I perk up slightly to see individual bursts of lights coming from the city.

fireworks.

I stare in awe of these magnificent creations. to think, it all started with simple gun powder.

I feel finn's arm sling around my shoulders, his other taking my hand in his. I can feel his warm smile, gently burning into my head.

"hey, (y/n)." he initiates, almost nervously.
"yes finn?" I question.

"we've been dating since about 8th grade right?"
"yeah, you should know this."
"yeah, well I know I'm not around a lot, and I know we're still really young. but, ever since I met you I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you. I knew I wanted to be the only one you thought of. I wanted to be the last thought before you drifted off to sleep, and I wanted to the first when you woke up. I want to be your everything because you mean that and so much more to me."

I look over to him in shock, he wasn't usually romantic, at least not like this. my eyes nearly bleed with tears.

he let's go of my hand and reaches into his pocket.

"so, I was wondering if you would make me the happiest bastard in the world and let me make you my wife." he popped open a small box he retrieved at revealed a beautifully sparkling ring. I let the tears fall and hugged finn as tight as I could, pushing us to the ground.

"yes! of course! a million times yes!" I shouted.

after a while of hugging, kissing and, all around celebrating our engagement, I start to question the little things. "what about school? and our parents? what would they think about all of this?" I asked my future husband. "don't worry about all of that. I talked to your parents. they said we could get married any day after graduation, and as long as I make sure you go to college I can keep you."

"god I fucking love you." I exhale.
"I love you more." finn replies, connecting our lips, as if they were cut wires that needed to be entertained together in order to keep the energy flowing. nothing else mattered except for us in this moment.

I felt fireworks in my system.
