^Since I suck at explaining, here's a picture.

Micah's pov

"You fucking what?" I let my head drop into my hands with a groan as I repeated myself.

"I fuckin' chickened out, Pops! How many times to I have to say it?" I heard him bark out a laugh and I reached across the Island to shove at him.

"Hey, hey, watch it. You had all day, and you chickened out?" I glanced to the stove clock and sighed at the time.

"Yes. It's nearly midnight, and I still haven't proposed to him yet. What am I gonna do about it?" I shrugged and looked down to the cup of hot chocolate in front of me.

"Just think about it and ask him another time." I nodded somberly and stared off as I chewed my lip.

Let me take you back to this morning.

"Baby. Time to wake up, my love." I leaned down to brush chocolate colored hair out of Titus' face so I could kiss his forehead. He slowly stirred and opened his eyes, squinting at the light. "Good morning."

"Morning." He closed his eyes and curled into my chest, nuzzling closer to me as I pet his hair gently.

"Do you know what today is?" I watched with a smile as he leaned back, yawning before squinting in thought.

"Mmm, Tuesday?" He looked to me tiredly and I snorted, shaking my head.

"No- well it is but that's not what I'm looking for. I'll let you wake up a bit." He continued to think as I carded my fingers through his hair, untangling it a bit. Suddenly he was leaning over me and grabbing his phone. He smiled brightly as he let out a small gasp and laid his phone down.

"Happy anniversary!" He laid down to hug me and I laughed as I cuddled him back eagerly.

"Happy anniversary, Mi hermoso chico." I kissed his head and he looked up at me, a smile on his face. We looked at either for a moment before his smile grew.

"I only know Japanese and English, but whatever you just said sounded either sweet or hot." I laughed before rolling him onto his back and leaning into his ear.

"I said, happy anniversary, My beautiful boy." I saw a blush rise to his cheeks and kissed over it, making my way to his lips. His hands tangled in my hair and I bit at his lip, only succeeding in getting my hair pulled harshly. "Oi! What was that for?" I pouted and rubbed the back of my head as he smiled evilly.

"Because I'm hungry. And I know what you're trying to do." I opened and closed my mouth. Dammit. He was onto me.

"I'm not doing anything! I'm simply kissing the love of my life!" I crossed my arms in protest, now sitting up and straddling Titus' thighs.

"No you're Fucking not. You're trying to get me riled up so I'll have morning sex with you. No. Breakfast. Keep it in your pants until tonight." He gestured for me to get off of him and I groaned in annoyance.

"Fine. One more kiss?" I smiled and bent down, watching as Titus rolled his eyes.

"No."

"Please?" I gave my best puppy dog eyes and he sighed, giving a small smile. After a moment he slid his hand over mine, sliding it down to his chest and moving his foot to rub at my leg. I leaned to kiss him with a smirk, when all of a sudden, I was being flipped onto my back.

"I said no, didn't I?" I laid, frozen as Titus hovered over me, a satisfied smile on his face. "That's what I thought." I looked at our positioning and saw he was now between my legs with his hands on either side of my head. How the hell did I get here?
