Scott looks out at the crowd that's cheering for him.

It's exhilarating.

"How is everyone doing tonight?" Scott asks.

The crowd screams.

"I think they can do better than that," Mitch comments, and the crowd screams louder.

"Now that was more like it!" Matt says.

"This next one was a request," Kirstin says.

Scott furrows his eyebrows. Since when have they taken requests?

Kevin laughs at Scott's confusion. "This is Love You Long Time!"

Scott shrugs and starts to sing it with the group. He doesn't remember this being on the set list. He must have been in the bathroom or grabbing a snack when they discussed this, and who requested it.

At a certain point in the song, the crowd screams.

Scott looks around, confused.

Then he sees Mark, waving shyly with one hand, and holding a microphone in the other.

"Baby!" Scott runs to Mark, wrapping him in a hug.

Mark laughs, wondering why he didn't expect this from Scott.

imma love you a long time
imma love you a long time
imma love you a long time
imma love you a long time

As this part of the song continues, Scott takes Mark's hand and brings him closer to the band, even twirling him.

Finally, the song ends, and Scott hugs Mark again as the audience applauds.

When the hug ends, Scott speaks into his mic.

"For the record, this is my boyfriend, Mark, and I had no idea he would be here tonight," Scott says. "He said that his work just wouldn't let him off."

The audience awws, but all that Scott can really pay attention to is the way that Mark laughs at what he said.

Mark brings his microphone to his lips. "I actually have something to ask you, Scott," he says.

Scott tilts his head, curious.

All Mark has to do is get down on one knee, and Scott turns the other way, emotional. The audience starts screaming.

Mark laughs. "Scotty? Are you okay?"

Scott faces Mark again, tears in his eyes. "Yeah," he nods. "Just, wasn't expecting any of this," he laughs, a tear rolling down his face.

Mark pulls a ring out of his pocket, and the audience absolutely loses it.

"Scott Hoying, I love you more than life itself. Will you make me the happiest man alive and marry me?" Mark asks.

Scott puts a hand over his mouth, letting a sob out. Instead of answering verbally, he just nods furiously.

Mark places his microphone on the floor before standing back up. Scott bends down and sets his on the floor too, and Mark slips the ring onto Scott's finger. The audience is still screaming, but all they can see is each other.

Mark pulls Scott in for one more hug, and Scott cries into Mark's shoulder for a moment.

"Are you okay, honey?" Mark asks, knowing only Scott can hear him.

Scott takes a step back. "Yeah, I'm just really fucking happy," he says, composing himself. "I love you."

"I love you too," Mark says, and they lean in for a quick kiss.

They both pick their microphones back up, and Mark speaks first.

"Okay, enjoy the rest of the concert, guys!" He waves to the audience. "Bye!" He shouts before going offstage.

Scott is staring at his left hand in awe. "I'm sorry for ugly crying," he says into the mic, "I had no idea," he laughs.

"You're ugly crying?" Kirstin asks, "I'm a mess over here!"

"I second that," Mitch says, wiping the tears from under his eyes.

Now they're in the hotel room, cuddled up to one another.

"I cannot believe we're engaged," Scott says, admiring his ring once again.

Mark stops running his fingers through Scott's hair, so he can place a kiss on his forehead. "I love you, and I've known I want to marry you for a long time, baby."

"I felt the same," Scott says. "You really surprised me. I'm so happy. I can't believe I get to marry you."

Mark giggles at Scott's shock. "It's going to take some time to set in, I suppose," he says.

"Mhm," Scott nods, cuddling closer to Mark. "I love you, and I can't wait for our wedding day."

Mark kisses Scott's nose, forehead, and hair. "Baby, you're my everything. Our wedding day will be the best day of my life. I love you so much."

"I love you too," Scott says.
