Dylan O'Brien imagines

Christmas Special - Dylan O'Brien

About: continued from the Halloween special. You spend Christmas at Dylan's parents house.

Dylan smiles, eyes following his beautiful girlfriend as she walks into the kitchen. He takes out a small box from his pocket. He opens it to look at the diamond ring inside. "Just you wait. We'll be there soon darling."

2 months later

Dylan's P.O.V
It's been about three months now and I'm still not sure when to propose to Y/n. We talked about it at Halloween, starting a family. It was a dream.To be honest I've always pictured us with a family. If anyone asked me what wanted in the future my mind would immediately go to Y/n. Of course I didn't think anything of it before, she was my best friend and I thought what I felt was that kind of love. But it's so much more.

I've been thinking about how to ask Y/n to marry me for so long and none of the ways seem good enough for her. Everyone on set has been annoyed at me because my minds always somewhere else trying to come up with ideas. "Hey bro what's been up with you lately? Don't take this the wrong way but you've been off this week. Is everything ok?" Tyler asks coming into my trailer and sitting on the couch next to me. I let out a sigh, I'm exhausted trying to come up with ideas as well as remembering lines. "Well if I tell you this you can't tell Y/n." "You didn't do something stupid like cheat in her did you?!" Tyler stares wide eyed at me. "Of course not! I'd never even dream of hurting her like that." He relaxes and tells me to carry on. "Well I'm going to ask her to marry me." I can't hold back my smile at the thought. "Wow! Congrats Dyl I'm so happy your finally going to do it. I mean you've been together what almost 10 years now?" He pats me on the back and we talk about why I've been so distracted.

"So you don't know how to ask her?" I nod and put my head in my hands. "It has to be perfect for her. I need to pull out all the stops." "Well I can help." We brainstorm for a few minutes but nothing really seems like the right fit. Then we start talking about when I got the ring. "I got it in September and on Halloween after we put the kids to sleep we cuddled and talked about the future. She said that she would like to start a family with me. God you don't know how much I've been dreaming of hearing that! But she said she'd want a ring first. The next week when she was at work I went to see her dad."

*Flashback*
I walk up the path and fumble with my sweaty hands. Why am I so nervous, I know it's a situation were you would be nervous but I've known     Y/N's dad for years. I wipe my hands before knocking on the door. A couple of seconds later Y/n's mom opens the door. "Oh hello Dylan. I didn't know we were expecting you round today." "Hi Johann. You weren't expecting me but do you mind if I come in and talk to you and Chris?" "Of course not dear come in out the cold." She asks me if I want a drink but I politely decline and ask if we can go into the living room. When we get there Chris is reading the newspaper and drinking his morning coffee. "Oh hello Dyl I didn't know you were coming by today!" I smile at how similar they are and sit down across from them. The two of them sit down on the couch and hold hands. I always liked the way they looked at each other, like they were the only people in the room. That's what I want with Y/n in the future. "Well I came here to talk about something important and to ask you something." Chris nods for me to continue. "Well as you know Y/n and I have been together for 9 years now and they have been the happiest of my life. I love your daughter with all of my heart and soul and I came here today to ask for your blessing to ask Y/n to marry me." I was confident in what I was saying because it was true but the silence after it made me very anxious. In the moments of silence Chris looks at me with an unreadable face, I can't tell what's going to happen next. Then a wide smile stretched across his face and he laughs. "We were wondering how long it would take you to ask." Him and Johann laugh. "S-so do I have your blessing?" He laughs even more. "Of course!" I let out the breath I was holding and I finally relax. "I was so worried you wouldn't." I confess. "Oh dear we knew you were going to ask sooner or later. But I'm glad you did. We knew you would ever since we met you." Johann says coming to hug me. I hug her and move to Chris, I go to give him a handshake but he pushes my hand away. "No Dylan. I told you, your a part of our family. Have been for a long time." He pulls me into a tight hug and I chuckle. I love Y/n's family, they always have been so kind and welcoming to me. "So you really thought I would marry Y/n when we first met?" "Yep." Chris and I sit down but Johann goes to answer the phone ringing in the corridor. "How could you know that?" We continue the conversation. Chris smiles and I can see a glimmer of light in his eyes. "I knew you loved her the moment we met. It was the way you would look at her. Exactly how I looked at Johann. And she did the same back but you, you would look at her even when she turned away. You would steal glances at her and take interest when she talked. Not a lot of kids were like you, I knew you were special." I start to get a bit emotional with all this overwhelming news. "Oh kid." He says and comes over to sit by me. He pats my back and tells me it's ok to be emotional, it just means I care, which I do. I care so much about Y/n. I wipe my eyes and stand up. "I would love to stay but    Y/n'll be home from work soon and she'll be suspicious if I come home late." "Of course! Good luck. I know you'll take care of my little girl." "She doesn't need taking care of but I'll always be there for her." He smiles and says goodbye again before I rush to the car, shouting a quick goodbye to Johann as I pass her.
