I was gonna wait to post this one, but I got too excited so here you go :)


'Tell me why

I don't like Mondays

I want to shoot

The whole day down'

Jasper's warbling voice carried across the camp. Monty gave you a look, and you both stood up and followed the voice. The shower in the middle of camp was running, and Jasper stood inside, singing.

'The Telex machine is kept so clean

As it types to a waiting world

And mother feels so shocked

Father's world is rocked'

Monty looked at you, eyebrows raised.

'Can you do something about this?'

'Monty, I've tried. Nothing works'

'Well, try harder. You're his girlfriend. I'm not getting in a shower with him'

'What makes you think I have?'

'You two aren't exactly quiet'

Heat rushed to your cheeks as Jasper turned and looked at Monty. You giggled at the clear shower cap perched on his head

'Nice cap'

Monty rolled his eyes 'You know you're wasting our drinking water right?'

Jasper mocked his tone 'You know we're all going to die in 6 months right?'

Monty gave you the look again. It broke both of your hearts to see Jasper like this, broken. You knew it was terrible, but it was worse for you to know he was still mourning the death of the girl he loved before you. You thought you might never really have his heart, not with the ghost of Maya hovering over everything. You sighed, steeling yourself before stepping into the shower. Jasper jumped

'Watch it! I'm not wearing clothes'

'Yeah, I can tell. Monty you can go now'

'Wait!' Monty turned, and Jasper grinned at him, lifting his hand

'Don't leave me hanging man'

Monty hesitated a moment before joining Jasper on their signature handshake, the thing that always brought a smile to your face. Jasper grinned

'Yes! Music to my ears! Hey, you want a hug?'

'Give your girlfriend a hug'

He turned to me, smirking

'You're naked. Please don't'

'Hasn't stopped us before'

You flushed a bright crimson. 'So Jasper, what are you doing?'

'Taking a shower. What does it look like I'm doing?'

'Self destructing'

That gave him pause, and he looked at you, eyebrows raised. You pressed on

'Jasper, it's been months. You're drunk all the time, you disappear constantly and get hurt. It's like you don't care if you live or die'

'We're all going to die anyway (y/n)'

'No, we're not. All you have to do is stay'

His voice broke 'I can't'

'You can! You need to. We need you'

'No one needs me'

'I do! So does Monty, and Harper, and Bellamy, and even Clarke, even though she broke your heart'

Suddenly you felt angry, heat flaring in your chest like some wild thing rearing its head.

'The only person who doesn't need you is Maya, because she's gone. She's gone, and there's nothing we can do about it, so you need to move on. I'm here, if you want me, but you need to move on'

You regretted it the moment it was out of your mouth. His hands curled into fists, and you were seriously considering running before you got clocked in the face.

'Jasper I'm so sorry I-'

His hands uncurled and tears started streaming down his face

'I don't want to die (y/n)'

'You're not going to die. No matter how hard you push me away, I'm not leaving. I'm never letting you go'

He looked at you, tears still rolling down his cheeks. He pulled you closer, pressing you to his bare body. Even with everything, he still felt the same, even if a little shaky, lean and strong against your own.

'I love you (y/n)'

'I love you too Jasper' you whispered into his shoulder, tears prickling in your eyes.

He pulled back and bit his lip, slowly getting down on one knee in front of you

'Uhm' you laughed nervously, heart racing. He is NOT doing what you think he's doing. Right?

'Jasper what are you doing?'

'Marry me'

Your heart leapt into your throat

'What?'

'You said it yourself, you're never leaving. And you're right, Maya's gone. But you're not. And I can do anything with you by my side. So, will you marry me?'

'Yes' it escaped your lips without permission. You tried again, grinning down at the only person on Earth you love.

'Yes!'

He crowed with joy, picking you up and swinging you around. You laughed, pulling him closer as he beamed at you with tears in his eyes. He stepped backwards and slipped on the mud, sending you both toppling down, his lips colliding with yours. The kiss was full of mud and hair, but more than that, hope. You giggled, entire body charged with electricity, pressing your forehead to his.

'Someday we'll be able to tell out kids the story of how you proposed to me naked in a shower cap'

He laughed 'And then slipped and fell afterward. Should we try it again?'

'No!' you cried, leaning down to kiss him again. You giggled into his lips

'Best. Proposal. Ever'

He kissed you back, a kiss full of love and happiness. And in that moment, you knew for sure.

'Jasper?'

'Yes, future wife?'

'We're gonna make it.'
