A/N: Happy birthday to me! An itty bitty Chan scenario in celebration for me-day woohoo! (this was supposed to be a preluding vignette in the sunlight and daydreams universe but I figured that would be super evil of me so letโs pretend itโs not lmao)

โโ MASTERLIST
The ocean sings. Waves crashing loud against the rocks, the late afternoon brings forth a beautiful pinkening sky and cool, hair-fluttering breeze.
A little chilly, but you donโt mind. Not when Chanโs grip is warm, fingers cupping yours as your entwined hands swing between the both of you.
Your feet sink in the sand, wet and cold against your bare feet the closer you get to the shore, leaving behind footprints and clinging to your skin.
You really donโt mind, Chan hums a soothing tune as you walk, distracting you from the fact that youโve left all your belongings back there where you had spent the afternoon lounging under the sun and building sandcastles.
Though the walk is nice. Comforting, and soothing. The sun sinks lower by the minute, the kind that has both of you pause, facing the horizon to take in the glimmering sea that reflects the light like a painting. The kind of sight that has your breath hitch, has you stop, eyes shining as you take in the pink and purple sky, the bright orange sun ready to bid its farewell.
Chan seems to agree, your boyfriend squeezing your hand almost faintly before he mutters the words you would have missed between the sunset, the waves and the winds.
You donโt though, not when Chan looks as if you mean the word, the same shine in his eyes as they meet yours.
โโIt would be perfect to propose here.โ
You think you wouldโve laughed startled at such a random exclamation, would have agreed with such an romantic observation. Yet before you can even giggle at the idea, even agree with him with a hum and a nod, you only turn to find a sight that has you freezing.ย
Eyes widening and lips parting with shock because he doesnโt even wait for his words to settle, doesnโt tear his gaze away, already dropping down with a widening grin.
Chan kneels. Right there, right before your suddenly frozen form.
Heโs on one knee, pants planted over the wet sand, the seafoam left after retreating waves seeping through the material, yet even the dirt and water isnโt enough to keep him from doing what he decided to do.ย
Everything continues as it was. The sun still on its descent, the waves still crashing against the rocks, rising over sand, the winds still ruffle through his hair, tousling the strands.
Yet nothing remains the same for you, not when his gaze meets yours so warm, so fond. Locked onto you with a lingering softness that shows in the way he fishes out the small box from the depths of his pocket.ย
Where had he hidden it all day? Youโre clueless. Yet he holds it before you, opening with ease, the slight tremble in his hands going unnoticed amidst the sudden emotions that surge through you. Chan holds it out before you. Offering you something youโve only dreamt of, you canโt help but gasp, eyes flickering to whatโs inside.ย
Itโs a glimmering thing, dainty and elegant, the ring glints beautifully against the sunset. And he cradles it in his palms, inhaling deeply as he lets you react. Your hands fly to your mouth, pressing against your lips, as you once again gasp louder. The ocean waves are cold over your feet, wind biting at your skin, yet you feel as if you are burning up.
โIโโ Chan begins, clearing his throat, a twinge of nervousness crossing his gaze but the wide smile remains.
โI love you.โ He states, softly, loudly, those words coming out as easily as breathing.
His eyes dart over your shocked-still expression, at the misty haze in your own gaze as you finally grasp what is happening.
โโIs this love?โโ He whispered.
A repeat of a question youโve asked. Itโs a familiar question, one that has you break into a breathy and wet scoff-like giggle as you realize exactly what he is referring to, hands falling to your sides, shoulders relaxing as you let him continue.
Let him propose.
โThe night after our first date, after I spent the entire after of it distracted by thoughts of you, you sent me that question.โ His cheeks dimpled with the way he grinned, watching you exhale with a breathless laugh.
โโGranted, it was a message you accidentally texted to me instead of your friendโimmediately followed with ten other messages of you freaking out over it, before threatening me to forget how you just embarrassed yourself.โ He recalls with a chuckle, with a fondness and a grin that has you mimic the glee, though the tears now freely slide down your cheeks.
โBut how could I have ever forgotten such a question when that same night I decided that I had an answer for it. That seeing your adorable sputtering and your refusal to meet my eyes the next day made me realize that it was love. That you were it for me.โ Thereโs a waver in his voice, a shine in his own eyes as he takes in the beautiful sight that is you.
But he barrels on, as if he has so much to say but not enough timeโat least not currently. Not when he has a ring to put on your finger. The recollection of your most precious moments could wait a little.
โI knew I wanted to marry you then. I knew I wanted a full life with you.โ He swallows his nervousness, his emotions that threaten to crack in his voice.
You almost whimper shakily, happily, your expression soft and warm and oh-so-touched as his voice drops just a tad bit softer, just a tinge warmer.
โI want more late night adventures, more spontaneous trips, the slow strolls hand-in-hand. I want the growing birthdays to come, the wrinkles and white hair, all the way to the end. Till death do us apartโright after that first date. I want it all with you.โ
You swipe the back of your hand to wipe away the tears that pool at your jaw, shuddery breath escaping your lips with a soft sob.ย Chan kneels patiently, as he continues to make your heart flip, your stomach swoop, your eyes prick with more happy tears.
โIโm sure you know by now how painfully obsessed I am with you.โ He too chuckles wetly, his voice slightly shaky, yet dripping with something akin to adoration as he looks up at you, absolutely besotted.
โYou already know how deeply I love you, but Iโll say it again. I love you. And I will continue to do so for the rest of my remaining life. Will youโโ He stutters just the slightest as he swallows, taking in a nervous breath, his eyes locked onto yours.
โWill you please marry me?โ
The waves crash loud, your feet sink into the wet sand, the sunlight is moments away from disappearing, yet you only look at Chan, on his knees, his own teary eyes and that beautiful smile of his that youโre so fond of.ย
Your boyfriend awaits the answer he should know you would give him almost nervously. And even with the shock and the heart-touching words spoken, you canโt help but laugh almost helplessly. The tears continue to cloud your vision yet even with blurred sight you know exactly where to find your most special person, lunging forward you canโt help but wrap your arms around him, falling onto your own knees.
Chan wobbles just the slightest at the impact but he holds you firmly, pressed right against him.
โYes. Yesyesyes.โ Your voice is half-choked, half a whisper as you tug him closer into your embrace.
Chanโs own voice cracks as he laughs against you, arm wrapping tight around you as he inhales your scent.
โThank you. I love you so so much.โ He pulls away, just enough to gaze into your eyes, lashes wet from his tears, yet his smile remains.
โGive me your hand.โ He whispers.
You donโt wait another second, your hand trembling between the both of your kneeling bodies as Chan looks down to pluck the ring out, box forgotten over the sand.
It slips on easily, cool against your skin, yet even that doesnโt last long, not when his hands cup your fingers in his, engulfing you in his warmth.
โYou wonโt regret it, I swearโโ
As much as you want to hear more of his heartfelt promises, you canโt help but want to disappear in his embrace, melt into his arms. Squeeze into his chest, and make yourself home. You lean in to capture his lips, kissing him and swallowing his promises. And he easily allows you to do so.ย
Melt into his embrace, disappear in his arms.
Kissing you in that slow, careful kind of way. The one where his fingers sit just right below your jaw, cradling your face as if youโre the most delicate thing he has. And you canโt help the sigh that leaves you, the way you pull him close and allow the thought to settle.
So this is love.ย
He squeezes you a tinge bit tighter, kisses you just a tad bit harder, his mouth hot against yours.
And how sweet it was.
