This chapter will be set about a year from the last chapter and the last chapter. Thank you guys for reading!!
"Jim." "Dwight" Jim responded, smiling at his boyfriend. "You're staring at me again" Dwight told him, a resigned expression on his face. "Hmm are you sure about that Dwight?" Jim asked Dwight, pursing his lips to not let his smile show. Dwight let out a sigh, "yes i'm sure. I can feel your eyes on me and I cannot concentrate when you do that" Dwight told him, a serious expression on his face. This time Jim actually smiled and let out a good natured huff. "Can't help it Dwight, you're just so cute" he said, leaning back into his chair. Dwight rolled his eyes and returned to making calls to his clients, he did not have time for his immature boyfriend. Jim smiled at the camera and went back to work too.
Pam gave the camera a look of suffering. She had to deal with the two's banter that just increased with them dating. The worst part was she had to deal with Jim flirting with Dwight constantly and Dwight pretending he didn't care. She loved them and thought they were the cutest couple, but honestly it had been almost a year now, could they just tone it down?
A couple hours went by and Jim was out of work to occupy himself with for the rest of the day, so he decided he would look at restaurant menus. Him and Dwight hadn't gone out on a proper date in a while, so why not look for a good place for both of them to enjoy tonight. "Dwight? How do you feel about Italian?" Jim asked, shifting in his seat back and fourth. "I'm on a sales call" Dwight muttered, pointing to the phone that was visibly in his hand and against his ear. "Sorry" Jim whispered back. After 5 minutes went by and Dwight still hadn't gotten off the phone, Jim became bored again. Jim grabbed the menu he was looking at and made his way over to Dwight's desk. He rested himself against it and made it so that he was facing Dwight. "Dwight" he whispered, "does this look good?" he whisper-shouted. Dwight crumpled a piece of paper in his hand and grabbed his head in frustration. He couldn't yell at Jim because he was on an important business call, so he pinched Jim's leg, pushing him away. "Hey" Jim yelped. Dwight looked at him unimpressed, flashing his eyes at Jim. "I'll be quite" Jim said, still sitting on top of Dwight's desk. Dwight scribbled down some notes, telling the client about what new items had come in that he could purchase. Jim tapped his fingers against the desk, Dwight reached up, putting his hand over Jim's fingers. "Don't" Dwight mouthed to Jim, his face looked like he was being tortured. Jim pursed his lips and nodded. He took one of Dwight's hands and traced Dwight's palm. He moved Dwight's hand up so he could lay a kiss on it. Dwight squeezed his eyes shut, before looking up at Jim. He mouthed "that place looks good" pointing at the menu that was still in Jim's hand, hoping that by agreeing to what Jim wanted he would leave him alone and let him finish his sales call.
"Yeah?" Jim asked, a wide smile on his face. "Yeah" Dwight mouthed, painting a smile on his face. Jim leaned down to plant a kiss on Dwight's cheek and made his way back to his desk. Pam looked up and rolled her eyes at Jim. "Stop bothering him" she said. "I can't do that, you know I can't" Jim said, with a grin. Pam chuckled and mouthed a "sorry, I tried" to Dwight with an apologetic look on her face.
Dwight finally finished his call, hanging up with a good night and thanks to his client. He out his head in his hands and stayed there for a minute. "Dwight, everything okay?" Jim asked, moving his chair to poke Dwight's back. "Yes" Dwight grumbled from the sanctuary in his arms. Jim moved his chair even closer to Dwight, wrapping his arms around Dwight. "Did you not get the sale?" Jim asked, his voice gentle. "No I got it" Dwight responded, finally lifting his head up to face Jim. "Then what's wrong?" Jim asked, worry etched on his features. "You're annoying" Dwight replied, a smile on his face, reaching over to hold Jim's hand. Jim chuckled, bashfully looking up. "Me?", "Yeah" Dwight replied, twisting his body to kiss Jim on the lips. "Love you" he mumbled against Jim's lips.
"Ohhh, Jim and Dwight kissing in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-G-G-N-G" Michael said, mumbling towards the end of the sentence. Dwight started to correct him, but Michael shooed him away. "Dwight don't ruin it" Michael said. Jim patted Dwight on the back, shaking his head, "don't worry about it" he said to Dwight.
The decision to tell the office about their relationship was made about 4 months into their relationship. Dwight and Michael were close friends, so Dwight wanted to tell Michael first, which inevitably led to the whole office finding out before the day was even over. Everyone seemed pretty cool about it. Kevin laughed his creepy laugh, Angela glared at them, and Stanley looked up at them and returned back to his crossword puzzle, so all in all not too bad. They tried not to show too much pda around the office, but Jim couldn't help himself from always teasing Dwight in the office and getting him flustered. Sometimes though it was Dwight who would be the one who'd fluster Jim with a surprise kiss or him bringing Jim a snack from the break room with Jim not even asking for one and then giving him a kiss on the forehead.
Jim was hopelessly in love and Pam could attest to this. He would constantly be caught by both Pam and Dwight, just staring at Dwight with a look of adoration. Anytime Dwight would talk, Jim would stop doing anything and look up to listen to Dwight. He definitely still pranked Dwight and riled him up, constantly touching Dwight's in weird places like his elbow during meetings or moving his desk so that it was in the break room etc... But for every prank he did he would also do sweet things like leave little notes on Dwight's desk, wishing him luck for a sales call or sometimes he would pack Dwight's lunch at home so that he would have more time to get ready in the morning.
While Jim was definitely the more affectionate of the two, Dwight also had his moments. When they got home from work and have showered and changed into their night clothes, Dwight loved to just snuggle up next to Jim, cuddling as close as he could. He would rub his feet against Jim's and intertwine their legs together as they lay on the couch, his head on Jim's shoulder. Occasionally he would reach up to plant a small kiss on Jim's neck or cheek. Jim would always laugh and turn his head to fully kiss Dwight. Dwight always wanted to appear strong, but with Jim as his boyfriend he allowed himself to surrender sometimes to the temptation of being taken care of and not always being in control.
When Jim had hinted at officially moving into Dwight's farmhouse, Dwight had planned a huge surprise to invite Jim to live with him. He had roses scattered against the yard that all led to a candle lit dinner, where Dwight nervously asked Jim if he wanted to move in.
They fought all the time, like about who's socks Jim was wearing or about more serious things like when Dwight didn't listen to Jim and they lost out on a client. No matter what though they always went back to each other. Jim hated leaving things not addressed so he tended to be the one to reach out and ask Dwight to talk with him and get over whatever they were fighting about. Sometimes it would be Dwight though who would write down his feelings to Jim on a piece of paper and express everything he couldn't say in words and tell Jim how he felt. They loved each other and both were grateful for what they had.
The proposal came to no one's surprise. Dwight recruited the entire office to help him propose to Jim. What Dwight didn't know was that Jim was also planning on proposing the same day. They all had enjoyed an outdoor party to celebrate the start of summer. The music was upbeat and romantic. It was not too hot and the sun had just began to set. "Hey Jim," "Hey Dwight" they both said at the same time. Jim chuckled, "you can go first" he told Dwight, "no you can" Dwight responded, he was nervous and trying to delay. "Okay well-um, I love you and I've had the best year with you and Dwight Schrute I wanted to know if you would-." "Dammit Jim. No! I'm proposing to you first. I was going to do it tonight. "What?" Jim said, "I'm proposing to you now so." "No. Take it back I'm proposing" Dwight replied. The two argued about who would propose first. "Just do it already" Meredith yelled, taking a swig from her cup. The two paused from their fighting. Jim was the first to laugh. "This is crazy Dwight. We both decided to propose on the same night and now we're arguing about who will propose first." Dwight huffed,"well it'll be me fir-." He was cut off by Jim grabbing his shoulders and kissing him. "I love you" Jim said, "I cannot wait to fight with you for the rest of my life" Jim finished, pressing his forehead against Dwight's. "I love you too and I can't wait as well" Dwight said smiling at Jim, "but we're telling everyone I proposed first".
The two got married the next month at Schrute farms, with the entire office there to celebrate the union of Jim "James" Halpert and Dwight K. Schrute.
