such a sap after writing this, lol. enjoy :)
glances at your fingers as he admires the way they look laced through his as you both sway in the kitchen, swallowing the lump in his throat as you giggle when he spins you because he never quite expected the feeling to hit him - you’re wearing his old sweatshirt and pajama bottoms that match his but the smile on your face and the laugh that rings through the air at 9:34 pm still warms his heart like it always did because it’s still you. he hopes you don’t notice the way his cheeks flush as he bites down on his bottom lip because he realizes that every time he thought of his future, it always involved you - dream realizes that the time was right as he twirled you again in his dimly lit kitchen in florida, the quiet hum of a love song playing on the radio and love in his heart because home really was this, so when a shakey hand holds up the ring that he’d kept close for months, he smiles because the world truly had a funny way of letting you know when some things are it, he glances at your fingers again as they intertwined with his, a gold band around your fourth finger this time, as he thought about what home truly was - he knows he’d always say it was you.
looked at you as you hummed; even just washing the dishes, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of familiarity warm his heart because this was exactly where he was meant to be. “you’re staring, honey.” he felt his heart bloom at the familiar nickname, warmth spreading to his cheeks because even in the midst of stumbled sentences and gruff protests, when he sees your eyes soften as they meet his, he realizes that love, really felt just like this. love, with you, was in the lazy mornings when he had to carry you out of bed because he knew you preferred waking up surrounded by him, the way you made his favorite food every day for a week until it was right because you knew it was his favorite and the way you never complained about watching the same anime for the fourth time in three days because you did it for him - so he doesn’t hesitate when his knee hits the floor of the kitchen as you gaze at him, bubbles on your hands and his high school jersey on your figure because when you see the softness in his eyes and tremble in his hand - you smile, and with that smile - sapnap feels the world settle into place.
he watched you as his usual bright grin rested on his face - your back pressed against his chest as you laughed at a random movie you both sat down to watch, but he knows the clamminess in his palms and the words that tumble out of his mouth are because of love “marry me?” he freezes up, the look of shock on your face probably mimics the one on his own as he fumbles over an apology even as he lets the question remain in the air. his inaudible whines cut off by your hands as they cup his cheeks as he softens when he realizes there’s no irritation in your gaze - only love, because george always taught you that life was best lived in the moment, so you whisper a “yes” as you press your lips to his, watching him stumble up the stairs as he pumps his fist before returning moments later as he almost drops the ring box that’s been hiding in his sock drawer for a few weeks with a shriek, giggling as he tries to slide it onto your finger, missing it a few times as he trembles from the adrenaline before scooping you into his arms - his own heart racing because although he always taught you to live in the moment, he couldn’t help but want to stay in this one for a little longer.
“you know i love you, right angel?” the tightening of your hand in his answering that you did, the weight of the ring box in his pocket felt heavier. still, he smiles because he knows if he closes his eyes, he’ll be taken back to tickle fights on the living room floor and playful kisses between giggles because even as the years come and go, love with you still felt like day one, it would always be you. so maybe that’s why he finds himself blinking with his words as one of his knees hit the cold, wooden floor in that same living room where he promised at the beginning of your relationship that he’d give you the world one day - a shaky hand holding the ring box that he dragged his best friend along to help him pick - just to be teased for being a sap, as he feels the first tear of the night trickle down his cheek he realizes he was right, because with you - vulnerability wasn’t so daunting. karl asks you to marry him in the living room of the house you both made a home, because although his career may just be beginning - he cries because he knows he already has life’s greatest achievement when a shakey “yes.” falls from your lips because at that moment he realized that the world, his world, was right in front of him.
sat with his chin propped against his palm on the dining table that sat in your living room, dirty dishes in the sink and you sitting across from him - a little giggly from the wine as a smile stretched from your lips as he feels his heart skip a few beats at the sight because he realises that maybe love was best felt just like this. he didn’t realise he’d been fiddling with the ring in his lap as he gazed at you, his mind too consumed with the thought that this must be the love that people fought wars for - this felt right, the realisation that he loved you seemed to slide into place rather than click as he thought back to how perfectly your hand fit in his as you both stood in the middle of his streaming room, as he felt himself become overwhelmed because in that moment although everything else was new - his hand in yours and “you made it alex” still felt familiar, as he now exhaled a shakey breath when that same voice sounded out “yeah.” he smiles as he thanks the world for allowing him to have this as his hand reaches for yours once again “we made it.”
