the totality of his colossal heart once resided within the walls of a beach house nothing more than a few feet from his most memorable shore. but that's changed, so much has changed, and his heart now carries new tenants. that same oversized heart that once called cousins home, still does so, but it's not the only place that love and magic coexist. for some time now he'd come to long accept that the magic of cousins was coursing through their veins, pulsating up and through their system with the beats of their unified hearts, through all of them, because of susannah. susannah fisher, paragon of hope and ideals and happy endings, a woman far from faultless yet still perfect in his eyes, scattered her magic within them all. he imparts it on the new additions, her magic envelops them warmly. the magic thrives when they're all together, it's a curative thing, he's warmer, conscious that her soul will linger as long as they do.
though he knew since the day they'd fatefully collided in the crowded streets of soho that he wanted @prophecey to be a forever type of deal, it still amazes him to no end that he would want the same with jeremiah. jeremiah's often a carefree spirit, thoroughly pleased conveying his charm offensive on others. he's had various partners, not as many long-term relationships, but he's consistently had an abundance of love to give, and he hadn't been quite willing to place it all in one person, not until him. not until the man standing before him concordant to spending the rest of his life with him.
❛ yes? you'll— you're saying yes. ❜ unlikely for him to stumble over his words, but the bliss is ricocheting through him at blinding speeds, leaving him in disarray. i was going to propose to you in cousins next week, meaning they would've rather coincidentally proposed at the same time if it weren't for him refusing this spur of the moment escape them. jeremiah's grin couldn't have blown any wider across his jaw, it's dilated from ear to ear, generating fine creases at the corners of his eyes and utterly encapsulating the sun setting like a halo behind him. lips are pulled over a row of bright ivories and a laugh erupts from his chest, his everything descending to a kneel before him and taking his face in his hands, ring trapped between their chests.
their foreheads are resting against each others and tears pool in his eyes, infinity taking shape of his very favorite person in the entire world. that partiality was once reserved for susannah, but with her gone, andrés had swept in and occupied the spot. well, if they weren't counting on four-legged family members. releasing a shuddering yet steadying breath, jeremiah's hands shift between them and he leans back where he kneels, one hand reaching for andrés left hand and slipping the metal band onto his ring finger. he admires it for a moment, the ring no longer heavy in his pocket, and bright eyes flicker up to see the most beautiful ocean mirrored in his fiancé's eyes. ❛ we're getting married. ❜
