that's my only wish this year

25.12.18

i really hope that you're on your way

jisung holds his breath, not sure if he should be anxious for minho to open his present or not. everyone's opened all of their presents, this present being the last present minho opens. everyone else knows what the present is and thinks it's the cutest present yet (and they all support his decision), but he's still worried about how minho is going to react.

he hands minho the present anyway, telling him it's the last thing he has to open before he gets up (in his cute little christmas dress mind you). he jokes with jisung and asks why it wasn't under the tree, wiggling his eye brows suggestively (only if he knew what the gift was).

'i had to make sure that's the one you opened last.'

'oh, well okay. here i go'

minho carefully takes the wrapping off of the present to reveal a small, black box. he looks at it puzzled, trying to figure out what could lay inside the box, but becoming more and more puzzled as the time passes.

'baby, open the box instead of just staring at it'

minho blinks a couple of times, huffing and telling jisung that opening presents takes time and effort and that he shouldn't be rushed or else he'd get up and leave without finishing. jisung laughed and put his hands up in fake surrender before quietly nibbling on his finger nails and waiting for minho to open the box.

he knew the box was empty and he knew minho's face was going to screw up in confusion, he was already well aware of what was going to happen, but he was still so nervous because he didn't know what was going to come after that, he was kind of winging it and he needed help but his father refused to look at him.

fuck, i guess i gotta do this alone.

minho finally opens the box slowly and very carefully. he looks inside and jisung can see the confusion on his face when he opens it to find nothing, and he has to hold back the urge to kiss his pout away.

(here goes)

with something special for me in your sleigh

he pulls the black box out of his pocket, his parents and minho's mom scooting closer almost instinctively (his mother pulling out a camera and recording).

he slides to the floor on one knee, opening the box and waiting for minho to look at him. he watches as minho looks to the spot he used to be in, face twisting in confusion when he sees him missing so he looks around the room. his heart is hammering so loudly that he thinks it's going to fall out, waiting for minho to finally look at him.

minho finally makes eye contact with him and gasps, eyes immediately welling up with tears when he finds jisung on the floor (on one knee to be exact). jisung takes one last breath before he dives right in.

'minho-'

he can hear minho trying to calm his breathing, but failing to do so and responding with a shaky 'yes'.

'i know this is quite sudden, but i've come to the conclusion that yeah i may be only 18, you being only 20 and maybe we are really young.'

he takes a breather. trying to form his next thought into a coherent sentence.

'and i know that we've only been together for a year, but honestly if you count all that we've been through together over the past ten years i think this is long overdue because you make me the happiest i've ever been and the happiest i'll ever be.'

minho wipes his tears and scoots closer.

'i've bought you a snow cone when you were eleven, lent you my house when you were thirteen, broke some assholes arm for harassing you when you were fifteen, pulled you out of a mall with a shooter when you were sixteen, and then got really jealous of your asshole boyfriend when you were seventeen who ended up being the asshole who harassed you when you were fifteen-'

he can hear minho's giggle loud and clear, tears swiftly running down the side of his cheeks rapidly.

'we've been through more in the past ten years than most couples our age will go through in their life time and i'm lucky to have gone through it with you. i'm in love with you minho and if my goddamn emotions would've let me figure that out sooner i promise i wouldn't have made you wait as long as you did-'

minho laughs loudly at that one, wiping his tears and smiling widely at jisung.

'and i want to spend everyday waking up next to you for the rest of my life. i want us to move out of this house and get one together, adopt cats and dogs and maybe kids some day in the distant future if you want to.'

jisung sees minho wiping at his tears excessively.

'but, i guess what i'm trying to say is-'

he sees minho slide off the couch and land in his lap, wrapping his legs around his waist and pulling him in for a salty kiss.

'finish your question ji'

'will you marry me minho?'

minho breaks into sobs, the loud ugly sob (but like minho could never be ugly).

'of course ji.'

jisung slips the ring on minhos finger and pulls him in for another heavily loaded kiss.
