-He bites his lip and squeezes his hand in return- I love you too.
-Charlie looks up as people begin to leave- We better go back to class… Meet me by my car when class ends and we’ll go. -He stands and moves to Justin’s side of the table, leaning down and kissing him warmly, his hand cupping his cheek.-
-His cheeks turn a deeper red and he looks down with a small giggle- How can my best mate be the one person I want to spend the rest of my life with?
-He feels his heart speed up a little and he squeezes Justin’s hand- Because we took the chance and ended up falling for each other. -he sighs softly- I love you.
-He smiles- How could one person mean so much to me?
-He grins, looking down at the table and blushing, still holding Justin’s hand. He looks up after a moment- How is it possible to be this in love with someone?
-He blushes- I kept thinking about you, what it’ll be like to be married… To wake up every morning next to you, and to go to work, to walk around with a constant symbol of what we mean to each other… -He plays with his thumb ring again, shifting it over to his left hand-
-Charlie slides his hand across the table, picking up Justin’s left hand. His fingers toy with the ring as he smiles again- Who knew something so little could show so much?
-He laughs, nudging Charlie’s leg under the table with his foot- Why were you distracted?
-He hits his foot back softly- Just kept thinking about our future. Our wedding, our house, London, spending my life with you… -a light blush spreads over his cheeks- What about you?
-Justin blushes and kisses him back- Distracting, but good. I paid attention in most of my classes.
-Charlie takes a few small bites- Oh good, so I wasn’t the only one that was distracted. -He smiles to himself and sits back in his seat-
-Justin keeps getting distracted and playing with his one ring through class. He normally wears a silver ring on his thumb, a sort of family thing-the men all have thumb rings, the women normal rings on their ring fingers-and toying with it. He slides it onto his left ring finger, biting back a smile at the idea. When class lets out, he makes his way to the cafeteria-
-Charlie and Justin arrive within seconds of each other. He kisses him softly and they both grab food before sitting down- How was your morning, love?
-Justin runs into Danny as he heads to his next class, and they talk along the way. “So you and Charlie-Can’t say we didn’t see it coming, but hey, congrats.” It makes him blush- Thanks. Really. He…. He makes me really happy…
-Charlie struggles a little bit more to figure out what is going on in his math class, trying as hard as possible not to subconsciously think about him and plan the wedding. The class drags on, finally ending. He heads to the cafeteria to meet up with Justin-
-It takes a good amount of concentration, but Justin manages to stay on task for his entire class. He sighs, glancing down at his old doodles and chuckling a little. He adds in another small heart in the margin before closing it and packing up his things-
-Charlie walks out of the classroom, headed to his second class. He bumps into Kurt, who stops him for a minute. “How are things with you and Justin going?” He can’t help but smile as he replies- Really, really good. -His smile doesn’t fade as he enters his next class and sits down-
-Justin blushes but walks with their hands intertwined without a second thought. He pouts and steals a quick kiss before Charlie lets him go- Love you too. See you at lunch?
-Charlie kisses him back and smiles- As always. See you then. -Charlie turns and walks toward his class, catching up with Blaine, who was headed the same direction. He sits down at his desk and pulls out his notebook. He knew he’d have to concentrate if he was going to keep up his grades, especially with how often he got distracted nowadays… -
-He blushes brighter and kisses him back softly before Charlie moves away. He smiles and gets dressed for himself, moving to the door to wait for Charlie to finish up. He adjusts the bag on his shoulder and sighs softly-
-He buttons his blazer and grabs his things, walking over to Justin. They lace their fingers together and begin walking to class. The two walk to Justin’s class first, Charlie kissing his cheek before letting him go- I love you.
-Justin blushes and leans into his gentle touch, curling closer. He hums softly before he’s spun, then kisses Charlie back with slow lips. His cheeks are tinted pink and his eyes flicker to the floor when they pull apart- Love you…
-Charlie places one finger on the underside of Justin’s chin, pushing up on it until he’s looking at him. He smiles- I love you too. -They stay like that a moment before Charlie pecks him on the lips and moves to finish getting dressed-
-He chuckles and walks out after Charlie, fixing his own hair as he walks- It’ll definitely be worth it, though. They’ll be something special, a reminder and a promise to each other. -He sighs softly and smiles a little as he finds a clean pair of boxers- So that even when we’re not technically together, we will always have something to remind us of each other.
-Charlie slips on his boxers, walks up behind Justin and wraps his arms tightly around his middle.- A reminder of how I’m in love with you? I’m not quite sure I need it. But to symbolize our marriage, a object to connect us when we’re apart… that’s different. -He spins Justin around and kisses him softly-
-Justin takes the towel with a small smile and quiet thanks, drying himself off and ruffling his hair- I don’t know much about rings, either, except that some are very pretty and others look rather odd on my fingers. As for wearing them… It’ll take some getting used to. -He wraps his towel loosely around his waist and steals a soft peck-
-Charlie smiles and kisses him back- We’ll find the perfect ones, don’t worry. But they’ll all take getting used to. -He wraps his towel around his hips and walks out to the room to get dressed-
-He blushes and smiles, kissing him deeply- Sounds perfect.
-Charlie kisses him back, smiling into it. His hand trails down Justin’s arm and his fingers tangle with the others- We could head downtown and see what they have… I don’t know much about rings, but that’s okay. -He turns off the water and steps out, handing Justin a towel as he dries himself off-
-Justin raises a hand and runs his fingers through his hair to get the shampoo out and wash off- So class today? Then what else shall we accomplish?
-Charlie rinses off his hair and smiles- I was hoping we could go pick out wedding rings at some point…
-The Brit blushes and turns his head to capture Charlie’s lips- London it is. I love you.
-He smiles into the kiss, wrapping his arms around him. He steps back, pulling Justin with him to get him under the water. He smiles at him sweetly- I love you too.
-He shivers, making a small sound of approval- Any of them…. Maybe London… -murmurs- Mmm, feels so good…
-Charlie laughs softly, kissing at his jaw, avoiding the soap- London sounds wonderful, love.
-He smiles and kisses him back sweetly- The city it is. -He shifted on his feet a little, loving the warm touches of the other-
-He drags his hands up his back, over his neck and down his arms, making slow circles- Which one?
So let’s stay around people. If we’re in an off mood, we can just stay inside. -He chuckles-
-He leans over and kisses him softly- The city then? -he takes the Axe and squeezes some out, rubbing it over Justin’s chest and down his back-
-He shrugs- I like people for the most part… Would you?
-Charlie smiles- Depends on my mood, but generally, I like having people around me. -He switches places with him again, this time rinsing the shampoo from his own head-
-He nuzzles into the touch. He grabs the shampoo from Chaz and lathers some in his hands before running his fingers through the others hair, massaging it clean- ‘M not sure where I want to live, though. I’d be happy anywhere with you.
-He switches spots with Justin so he’s under the water instead and begins to wash out the shampoo- Well, would you want to be around a lot of people?
-He blushes and kisses him back gently- When we get older, will we live on the coast? Or in the city? -His voice was soft and thoughtful-
-Charlie hums, thinking. He grabs the shampoo and rubs a little on Justin’s head, smiling- Whatever makes you happy, love.
-Justin giggles and slips off his sweatpants. He climbs in after Charlie, his arms snaking around his waist from behind- Love you.
-Charlie turns around and cups Justin’s face with both hands. He kisses him softly underneath the water- I love you too.
-He hums and snuggles into Charlie’s hold, smiling- Yeah, it seems to have worked a bit of magic. -He agrees, his accent a bit stronger than normal in the mornings. He kisses Chaz sweetly-
-Charlie kisses him back and smiles, pulling off his boxers and stepping into the shower.-
-That catches his attention and Justin drags himself from bed. He yawns, running his hand through his hair and looking rather sleepy with his sweatpants hanging off his hips, dipping a bit lower on one side-
-He turns on the water and waits for Justin to enter the bathroom. He wraps his arms around his waist and trails small kisses up the back of his neck- I was hoping that would get you up…
-He shakes his head, his eyes still squeezed shut- ‘M not waking up today.
-He kisses his forehead as he sits up slowly, tugging on his hand- I know you don’t want to, but we skipped classes yesterday… -Charlie gets out of the bed and walks to the bathroom, turning around as he reaches the doorframe- But, it’s up to you. I mean, if you don’t want to come shower with me, that’s your decision. -He smirks as he turns around-
-Justin whimpers and curls into Charlie, holding tight to him-
-Charlie chuckles softly, pushing a piece of hair out of Justin’s face- Morning, love.
-Charlie opens his eyes slowly at the sound of the alarm, and he leans over Justin to turn it off. He pulls him further into his arms and nuzzles his neck-
-He nuzzles into him, still smiling- Love you…
-He kisses his forehead and nuzzles him back- I love you too. -He yawns quietly and slips his eyes closed- Goodnight, J.
-He giggles- But I wouldn’t mind doing this for the rest of my days…
-He leans over and kisses him softly- Soon enough, love.
-Justin snuggles closer, smiling- Mm-hmm… I’d say we should do it again, but we ought to go to class tomorrow…
-Charlie groans softly- Another day then, I suppose. Can’t make it a habit, but…
-He giggles and kisses Charlie’s nose again- Me too.
-He scrunches up his nose and chuckles, tightening his hold on Justin-Today was amazing, love.
-He nudges his nose behind Charlie’s ear- I love you too, and thanks. She needed to hear it from me, instead of our mum or someone.
-He turns his head to the side, kissing his cheek- I’m glad she did. I doubt she would have been as excited getting it from one of them.
-Justin blushes and nuzzles into him- You’re just saying that because you love me…
-He nuzzles him back- Well, I can’t deny the fact that I love you.
-He can’t help his grin- I-It didn’t even matter when I said I was gay. All she cared about what that I was getting married. She asked if Mum & Da’ knew, and said that Da’ loves me, he always will, and that Mum will get over it, and it was just… -He hugs Charlie tightly, curling into him- It was brilliant and I love her.
-He grins back, pulling him further into his arms- Love, that’s because being gay doesn’t change who you are. Her brother. And I’m sure your parents will come around. It’s pretty impossible to not love you.
-Justin laughs- Alright, get some sleep. Sorry for calling so late, sis. Love you, and thank you. Really.
-“I love you too. Goodnight!” She hangs up and Charlie takes the phone from Justin and puts it on the bedside table.- That didn’t go so badly, did it?
Sort of. Now he’ll just be more like a brother. A very, very attractive brother that your real brother is married to. -He smirks-
-Charlie covers his mouth as he laughs and blushes bright red. He mouths ‘shut up’ to Justin. “You can say that again… well, I really ought to go back to bed. Congratulations, Justin. Seriously.”-
-He cuddles closer to Charlie and nuzzles into the crook between his neck and shoulder- Thanks, love. I owe you. Charlie says hi, by the way. -He chuckles, looking at Charlie & kissing his nose-
-He nips at his ear and giggles. “Oh… so I guess this sort of gets rid of all my chances with him, doesn’t it?” Laura laughs on the other end-
-He pauses again, looking at Charlie- Uh-Uhm, y-yeah. Mum does, at least. ‘M not sure if Da’ does or not. If you haven’t ‘eard them yelling, he probably doesn’t. Try an’ keep it on the down-low, then, would you? I really don’ need Da’ trying to kill me from across the pond.
-He tightens his arms around Justin. “Oh, Justin, he’ll be okay eventually. I’m sure mum’s okay with it, and I am… he’s alone on this one. He’ll always love you.”-
-Tears spring to his eyes and his smile is huge before he bites his lip, covering his mouth with his hand. The sheer unimportance of his sexuality to her is overwhelming. He can’t help smiling as he moves his hand and lets out a laugh- Y-Yeah, we are. After Graduation. I was actually kind of hoping… that you could help with the wedding? I want to have it at home, in London, at that old Cathedral not far from our house.
-Charlie glances at Justin and kisses his cheek as he watches his reaction. “Oh god, of course, I’d love to! I had no idea… that is so cute! Do mum and da’ know?”-
-He chuckles- It’s a bit more than that now, sis. -He hesitates, looking to Charlie and swallowing- He’s kind of my-I mean, I-I’m… I’m gay, Laura, and Charlie… Charlie’s my love, the love of my life, actually, and I asked him to marry me.
-Laura is silent for a moment. “Wait, seriously? You’re… you’re gay? And he’s… and you asked him to marry you?” She pauses again. “Oh my god! Justin! You’re getting married?!”-
-Justin blushes- Sorry, love, but… I’ve got some big news for you. You remember Charlie, don’t you?
-“Of course I remember Charlie. He’s your mate.” Charlie wraps his arms back around Justin-
-Justin whimpers at the sudden lack of his fiance close to him, but he keeps his hand on Charlie’s side to help him not fall off the bed. He thanks him with a soft kiss and dials Laura’s number-
-The phone rings 3 times before a groggy Laura picks up. “Justin? Why are you calling so late?” She yawns-
-He kisses him back- I can’t wait, either. Part of me wants to call Laura now, I mean, how mad can she be if I wake her up in the middle of the night because I’m getting married?
-He smiles- Not very. At least she’ll go back to sleep happily. -He glances around the room for Justin’s cell phone, and spots it falling out of his jeans on the floor. He reaches down and after struggling not to fall out of the bed, grabs it and gives it to Justin- We’ll see, I guess.
-He blushes and turns his hand to cup Charlie’s cheek, still smiling-
-He smiles and kisses him warmly- I honestly can’t wait for the day where I can call you my husband.
-He smiles and steals a gentle peck- Same here. I love you.
-He brings Justin’s hand up and kisses the back of it softly- I love you too.
-He nuzzles him- She’ll get over it and just start planning our wedding.
-He kisses him softly- I hope so. Because I’d rather be doing this with you then worrying about little details.
-Justin smirks- She might actually be mad that you’re gay, and in love with me, instead of in love with her. She adores you.
-Charlie chuckles, snuggling closer to Justin- Now, that would be weird. At least I’m in love with one of the Bancroft’s.
-He nods slightly- Yeah, she won’t be expecting it, but she ought to be happy about it.
-Charlie smiles- She’s always loved you anyways. -he pauses, his smile turning into a grin- And me, for that matter.
