Ed and I arrived for my reservations on time, got seated, ordered our wine, received it, and then ordered our food. Now we are alone.

"So, you came back because of our fight?" I asked.

"Yes." Ed nodded. "I felt terrible about what we talked about. I knew I was being rude. I was just tired and stressed out. I haven't seen you or heard from you in so long. I haven't laughed with you or even touched you. Tour has been so hard. I missed you so freaking much Harry."

"You did?"

"Yes. I missed you so much. I think about you everyday and I miss your touch."

"Well." I sighed. "I didn't know that."

"Well, you do now. That's why I came home. I just needed a break and I needed you."

"Even though this is all sweet and everything-" I started. "-I'm still ticked Ed."

"I know you are."

"Yeah." I nodded. "I'm so ticked. You can apologize, and that's great, but, I still want to be married. I want to share a life forever with someone. I was really hoping that it would be with you, but it looks to me, not so much anymore. If you truly loved me, then you would ask for my hand."

"I know Harry, and I told you where I stood. Actually I've been thinking a lot about where I stand."

"Have you now?" I asked.

"Yes, I have been thinking. Before, when we were talking, I just- all I can think about is you with other men. Right now, it's fine. It's your job... but, when I'm married to you, I don't want to picture you with other people. I've dreamed about marriage since I was a little kid. Me and another man. Me and another man hugging, holding hands, kissing, loving, and fucking... but only within our union. I haven't dreamed about my husband doing those thing with someone else. I don't think anyone ever has... I mean, unless you're into that, which is cool, but that's not for me Harry. It never will be."

"So you want me to give up my job to make you happy?"

"It's selfish, but yes. I do."

"And if I give it up, you'll ask to marry me?"

"Actually, I was planning on doing it sooner than later."

"What?" I asked.

"Harry, I've been thinking long and hard about us. I want an endgame with you. I want kids with you. I want to grow old with you. I want to die with you. I want it all because I love you. I always have and I always will."

"Ed, what are you doing?"

Ed then got up and pulled out a ring as he dropped to one knee.

"Ed?" I asked looking around to see if anyone is seeing this, but, we are hidden behind a huge plant so no one has noticed.

"Harry, I want you in my life forever. I want to fully be able to call you mine. I know you want this and now I want it too. Hopefully this shows that I'm serious enough. Hopefully you can consider a life with me now. I'm serious about you Harry. So, this is me confessing my love and asking, will you marry me?"

I didn't speak.

Actually, I couldn't even move.

Ed grabbed my hands, his warm ones heating up my cold ones.

I looked into his eyes as he scooted closer to me.

This is it, this is what I've wanted for. I've been dreaming about this moment throughout my whole existence with him.

"Harry Edward Styles, will you marry me?"
