Reid was sitting on the couch waiting for Alex to get home from...wherever he was. No one was home when Reid got there which was kinda unusual. He was normally greeted with a huge hug and a kiss from his boyfriend, something he actually liked and looked forward to. He would just get it when Alex got home, whenever that was.
While he waited he thought about the interesting bit of news he heard recently. Brent and Chase were getting married. It wasn't too surprising but it was sooner than he thought it would be. He saw how much they loved each other and he was really happy for his best friends. He would be there no doubt and celebrate the day his two best friends tied the knot after so many years.
It made him think about his own relationship with Alex. He loved him more than he thought possible. He wanted nothing more to spend the rest of his life with the man. He had always intended on marrying Alex. Brent and Chase getting married put him in a tough spot though. It would leave him and Alex as the only ones in the band not married. Now Reid had to think about how that would effect his relationship. Should he propose to Alex now? Should he wait? Is he even ready for marriage? He wasn't sure? And he wasn't sure whether or not to bring it up with Alex.
He sighed. He would just wait until Alex got home and see where the discussion went tonight.

 Today had been a pretty long day at work for Alex - there hadn't been any cases that could be considered out of the ordinary but it had just been one of those days that seemed like it'd never end. But at least he had had alot to think about - he'd recently found out about his best friends getting engaged. It was something pretty big. But incredibly sweet too. It was one of those things that you knew would eventually happen but it still came as a pleasant surprise when it did.
A couple of colleagues had suggested going out for a drink afterwards to celebrate the monotonous shift they had just ploughed through. Alex had gotten ready but had changed his mind at the last moment. It was late. And what if Reid was there waiting for him?
The possibility of finding his boyfriend in his flat cheered him up greatly. Alex apparated directly into the broom cupboard in his building and attacked the stairs two by two with a silly smile on his face. When he reached his floor though, Alex stopped himself and sucked in a long breath to calm himself. He couldn't get his hopes up too much. But Alex just couldn't help himself. He had been like this most nights now.
Alex swallowed once he stood before his door and pushed open his door. His face lit up on spotting Reid and didn't bother trying to hide his smile. The Spaniard let the door close behind him with a loud thunk and shrugged off his bag which fell with a muffled thud to the floor.
"Nene!" Alex said, slightly breathy and his cheeks stained pink from the sharp cold outside. A few strides later, Alex was throwing himself onto the sofa, nestling into Reid with a content sigh. "I was hoping I'd find you here tonight."

Reid smiled as Alex threw himself into his chest. He held him close and closed his eyes. Life was good now. He kissed the top of Alex's head and tucked it under his chin. "You doubt that I would be here? I love spending my nights with you. What else could I possibly do with my night?" He relaxed into the couch more. He wanted to just do this all night.
He wondered if Alex had heard about the wedding yet. He didn't want to spoil Brent/Chase's surprise if they hadn't yet. "Guess who dropped by my office tonight?"

This definitely beat bonding with his colleagues. Alex smiled and let his eyes drift to a close, letting Reid nestle his head under his chin. His boyfriend was so warm and alive. Alex could hear the faint thudding of life pulsing in his body. It was hard to believe that this was all real.
"Yeah.. you'd be bored alone." Alex chuckled softly, mindlessly toying with a lock of Reid's hair. "The highlight of your night would probably be jerking off in the shower." His snicker deepened into a devious, teasing one. But Alex angled his head upwards to give Reid's neck a quick peck to show that he wasn't honestly serious. Just playing, nothing else.
"Well, it definitely wasn't me. I'm guessing either Chase or Brent. Or someone else? Tell, tell." Alex smiled, toeing off his shoes to curl his legs up onto the sofa and snuggle properly. There was no Tootie mithering him for food tonight - she was probably out hunting or something. It was probably for the best, Alex knew how Reid didn't get along with his fat cuddly cat. "Chase came around mine while I was sunbathing. He had some pretty interesting news."

Reid smirked at his boyfriend's reaction. Sometimes he was a little, okay real, full of himself. Reid did do things when he wasn't spending time with Alex...well sometimes. And he didn't jerk off in the shower...it was usually his bed, it was easier to picture Alex there. That wasn't the point. His boyfriend was silly.
He snuggled closer as Alex got more comfortable. He got so happy about the littlest things sometimes. He was funny. It brought some entertainment to him sometimes.
"It was Brent. He came around to tell me some interesting news. My guess is that it was the same news that Chase came to tell you. I'm excited for it, for them." He kissed the top of Alex's head. He leaned his head back and relaxed. That is until he registered what Alex had said. "Wait, you were sunbathing? You were sunbathing WITH clothes on, right?"

Alex shifted around so he could look up at Reid, a merry grin stretching his pink lips. So Brent had gone and told Reid? That was good then because it meant that Alex wasn't holding onto anything his partner didn't already know. The young man nestled his face back into Reid's neck, pressing his smile into just where his beard ended.
"Yeah... me too, isn't it great?" Alexander chuckled lightly. "I'm so glad for them, nene. I can't wait for the wedding. Its going to be so... just so..." Alex exhaled heavily. This wedding was going to be a mix of things. His two best friends were finally tying the knot. It was going to be a happy thing to witness, but then sad, too. Everyone was growing up and settling down already. Even his bestest friends.
"With clothes on?" Alex made a scoffing noise and folded down the waistband to his trousers so to show Reid a strip of paler skin.. "What's the point of that if I want to get rid of my white bits? My butt is milk bottle white, Rutherford." He tried to stay serious for as long as he could but, soon, Alex caved and gave way to a bout of titters. He had only been lying.
"Course I had clothes on, nene. I don't think my neighbours would appreciate a naked Spaniard in the courtyard." He grinned widely and smoothed his waistband back into place. Done that, Alex stretched upwards and peppered Reid's cheek with a couple of light, affectionate kisses."I don't think Chase would've been too pleased. He doesn't tolerate nudism very well, I don't think... Oh, he's made me his best man, sabes?"

Reid smiled. Alex was really happy for their best friends. Reid was too. He wanted to make Alex that happy one day. He would make Alex happy forever if he could.
Reid tried not to show his jealousy all the time, but this was one of those times that it just came out. He had his reasons for asking the question he did. "You better have clothes on. No one is allowed to see you without them but me."
He sighed."You know I'm a little possessive of what's mine. You are mine." He pulled something out of his pocket and looked at it. He held the box in front of Alex's face. "Jay, I'd like to make you mine completely. Alexander Jay Garcia Torres, will you be mine forever? Will you marry me?"

It took a couple of moments for Alex to register the little box that Reid had produced from his pocket. He stared at it with his slender eyebrows slowly rising into his messy fringe.
"Will you marry me?"
Alex's throat went dry all of a sudden and words escaped him. Was his boyfriend honestly asking for his hand in marriage? The young man looked up from the box and up at Reid. His jaw was slightly ajar in understandable surprise and white ringed fully his honey brown eyes. So many thoughts flooded through Alex's head that it was almost dizzying. Fuck, this whole situation was dizzying.
The Spaniard exhaled slowly and shakily, glancing back down at the box and back up at Reid. When he did, his eyes were shining. This was just... unreal. But he knew what he wanted to say:
"Yes, Reid Rutherford, I'll marry you."

Reid watched closely to Alex's reaction. He knew they both loved each other like crazy. He knew marriage was inevitable but he had hoped it wasn't too soon.
He watched Alex's eyes in particular. They told him everything he needed to know. He saw the shock, surprise and finally the love the shone in Alex's eyes. His love's eyes were shining with unshed tears, of happiness he assumed.
He then heard the words he hoped for. Alex had agreed to marry him. He probably looked really goofy with the huge grin that was now on his face. He opened the box showing the white gold engagement ring he bought. The ring held a 1/2 ct. (I think that's what I mean) Citrine stone in the middle with a 1/4 ct. diamond on either side. It wasn't flashy but it was something he thought Alex would like. He took the ring out of the box and placed it on Alex's finger. "There." He leaned in and snogged the hell out of Alex.

Hearing the box pop open with a small click, Alex held his breath in suspense. He couldn't believe this. He honestly couldn't. In that box was a ring. A ring that Alex'd wear as proof of the promise he'd now made to marry Reid. When he saw the piece of jewellery... Alex fell in love. It had his birthstone in it, a beautiful citrine gem nestled between two, smaller diamonds.
The young man almost choked on his own breath when Reid slipped it on. It fit snugly on his ring finger. The cool metal soon warmed up on his skin, melting into his finger as if it were now part of him. Alex wanted it to be forever a part of him like Reid.
Alex closed his eyes and kissed Reid passionately, mindlessly toying with the engagement ring with his thumb. The more he touched it, the more he felt something bubble up in his chest. It took a while to realize that it was pure happiness. It was so strong that he felt like he was drowning in Reid's kiss. Alex hiccuped into his fiancé's mouth. This was all too much. Emotions were high.
"I-I love it. I love y-you. I love this. I just..." Alex stammered between kisses. He was maybe crying a bit. Just a bit. But only because this was, hands down, the best thing that had ever happened to him. Emphasis on Ever. "I-I'm sorry." Alex chuckled weakly, rubbing his eyes with a grin that stretched so wide that it threatened to split his bottom lip.
"I just... never thought this could actually happen. But... it has... and I just... I love you."

Reid loved this man so much. He listened to the words of love coming from his fiance and his heart filled even more. "There's no need to apologize my love. These are happy tears. Those you never need to apologize for, ever!"
He kissed Alex one more time before snuggling back up with him. He held him close with one arm while playing with the ring on Alex's hand with the other. It made him so happy finally seeing it where it belonged.
"I was thinking love about asking Brent and Chase if they wanted to do a double wedding. If it were anyone else I wouldn't even think of the idea but they are our best friends. I think they would enjoy it just as much as we would. Well, I'm assuming you would. Would that be something that would interest you? Would it make you happy? I want our wedding to be a day we will remember for the rest of our lives."

Alex rubbed his eyes again while chuckling at mainly himself. It had been pretty silly to apologize for getting all teary-eyed because he was just so damn happy. But he couldn't help it. This was all so new to him. Rewind the clock back a year and who would've guessed that he'd end up engaged to one of his best friends?
With a content, airy sigh, Alex nestled into Reid when the man snuggled back into the sofa. This was just perfect. Nothing could ruin this. The idea of a joint wedding appealed to Alex greatly but... he had his doubts. Chase would, undoubtedly, be paying for his wedding with Brent and, well, he had money. If it were to be a joint thing, wouldn't they have to go halves? What if Chase wanted somewhere lavish for the wedding to be held? And Alex, under no circumstances, was going to accept that his best friend paid a single knut or penny towards his wedding with Reid. But then... he really wanted to share his big day with his friends'. It'd just make everything even better.
"I'd really like that, nene." Alex smiled, rubbing his thumb on the strip of white gold on his ring. How much had Reid paid for this? Alex hoped that he hadn't paid too much... "I think we could even get married under a bridge and it'd still be
the best day of my life." Top points went to Alex for corniness.
"I can't wait to tell the other two." Alex smiled, eyeing his ring once again. He didn't seem to be able to stop himself from gazing at either the engagement ring or Reid. "When did you get the ring? Have you been thinking about this for a while?"

Reid was glad that Alex liked the idea. He wanted to share the day with those closest to him and that meant Brent and Chase. He also knew Alex was worried about some things involving the wedding. He wanted Alex to have the wedding of his life, as Reid would make sure it was the only one he had, but he wasn't sure that Alex's dreams were those of their friends. "Babe are you sure? We both know that there may be things about the wedding that those two want that we don't. It will make a lot of work to get it done. Well, that is if they even want to do a double wedding. When do you want to tell them about this?"
He thought about what to tell Alex. He had thought about it for a while but the ring, well it was what he did after work. "Well I had been thinking about proposing for a while but the ring I got today. After Brent came around I really started to think about it more. After he left I went to a little shop I had heard about and just intended on looking but I found that ring and knew you would like it so I got it."

To be honest, if they were to have a joint wedding Alex knew it would only be great. He didn't mind where or how it would be held, as long as he ended the day bound to Reid by vows, that would be all that mattered.
"It'll be up to those two if we have a double wedding or not because I'm perfecto with it." Alex shifted around in his seat so he could press his lips against Reid's cheek. "I want to tell them as soon as they can... they'll be so glad."
So... would the stag night that Alex was planning for the four of them actually end up being just one big stag night for four grooms? Most probably. And a honeymoon? Did they get a honeymoon? Just thinking about it made Alex feel all fuzzy. This was all so romantic that he felt as though his brain wasn't going to be able to digest so much "cute".
"Well, you definitely picked out the right ring." Alex said, peering down at the ring once again with a merry smile. "I just love it so much.... thank you, Reid. You've made me so happy. I thought you'd think I'd be too.... immature for this. Let me hug and kiss the life out of you."
Alex wrapped his arms tightly around his fiancé and brought his legs up and onto the sofa. He was never getting rid of this couch. He'd keep it even when it was old and musty because "Reid proposed to him on it". The young man found Reid's lips and began to kiss him tenderly, murmuring a quiet yet audible "I love you."

Reid pulled Alex into his lap as they kissed. He wrapped his arms around Alex's waist, pulling him as close as possible. "I love you too." He said over and over again. He knew this would need to be move to the bedroom. He wanted to show his love to Alex all night long.
"We can tell them tomorrow. For now, I want to ravish my fiancé all night long." He smiled as he picked his love up and carried him to the bedroom. "We have a bit more to talk about anyways. Like what kind of wedding you want and where you want to go on our honeymoon. We ARE going on a honeymoon. A couple of weeks just you and me, sounds amazing to me, don't you think?"
