Jimmy paced on the floor, shoes making a noise with each step that was driving his friend insane.
“ Jimmy, Tim, Timmy, It’s gonna go fine. “
Grian tried to reassure, pausing the others' pacing by grabbing him by the shoulders.
“ But what if he- “
“ He’s not gonna say no. “ Grian interrupts, “ You should see the way he looks at you. It’s gonna go great. “
The taller swallowed and nodded, breathing deeply.
“ Yeah, you’re right, what could possibly go wrong ? Except like everything. “
“ Stop it. “
The smaller pointed a finger in his face, “ It’s gonna go great and then you’ll be engaged and sappy. And you might wanna start going, it’s nearly 5pm. “
The panic on the tallers face was almost laughable as he scrambled to grab his coat and slide the small velvet box into his pocket.
“ Good luck Tim ! “ Grian waved and he was out the door.

Jimmy was silently grateful Scott lived near, the trek not terribly long. He was surprised to see the cyanette already outside waiting for him, standing when he saw the blond.
“ Jimmy ! “ Scott greeted, pressing a chaste kiss to his lips.
“ Scott. “ Jimmy greets back, a fond smile on his face as he leaned in for another small kiss. “ Ready to go ? “ He asks, taking in the other’s appearance. Cyan hair was curled slightly at the ends, framing his face perfectly. A simple outfit of cuffed jeans and a peach patterned button up. He took away the blond’s breath as always.
Scott nods, smiling and taking his free hand as the other was carrying a picnic basket.
“ You’re sure you packed all of the food ? “
“ Yes Scott, I'm sure. “
The older chuckles and swings their hands a bit, “ Just making sure. “ He hums,
“ Where are we going anyway ? “
“ You’ll see. “ The blond grinned cheekily and led the cyanette along a dirt path, the trees they’d been walking through starting to clear up.
Jimmy smiled widely when they got to their destination, hearing a small gasp from Scott.
It was a poppy field.
The flowers stretching far and wide with few empty patches of grass.
The section Jimmy led the cyanette too , though, was the section of red poppies. The small flowers a vibrant red.
“ Oh Jimmy,, “ Scott’s voice trailed off as he let go of Jimmy’s hand to step forward to the flowers, taking the field in.
“ Do you like it ? “ He asks, setting the picnic basket down onto one of the grassy spots, pulling a quilt out and laying it on the grass.
“ It’s beautiful. “
“ I figured you’d like it, but I'll admit I was a tiny bit worried. “
Jimmy chuckles sheepishly, sitting on his knees to pull the food out.
The other sat down onto the quilt, watching the younger with a fond smile.
“ I wouldn’t mind anywhere as long as you’re there too. “
A soft pink touched the blond’s cheeks with a noise of surprise, blue eyes looking up from the food to meet teal ones.
The older one laughed at his expression and pulled the small lantern out of the basket for when it gets dark.
“ Is there any reason you wanted a picnic in particular ? “ Scott asked.
A nervous feeling in the blond’s gut slowly blossomed but he shook his head.
“ This place, it just reminded me of you. “ He admits, looking away a tiny bit embarrassed.
“ Awww Jimmy, “ The older cooed and popped a grape into his mouth, scooting closer to the blond to nuzzle his cheek gently.
“ Stooopp,, “ Jimmy whined and scrunched his nose up, moving his head away. His cheeks heating up from the affection.
Scott just laughed and picked up a sandwich square to eat.
“ I can’t believe you made all of this. “ He mentions after swallowing a bite.
“ Gosh Scott I'm not completely incapable. “ The blond rolled his eyes with a grin, grabbing a sandwich square to eat as well.
“ Grian helped, didn't he ? “
“ ..maybe just a little bit. “
The older giggled loudly, opening a water bottle.
“ I knew it. “
Jimmy huffed and crossed his arms, “ I did most of it on my own ! “
“ I know, I know. “ He hums, taking a sip of his water. “ Ohhh Jimmy look ! “ The cyanette pointed to the sky.
The sun had begun to set and the sky was a beautiful mix of purples, yellows, and pinks.
There were barely any clouds in the way and it was breathtaking.
“ Woah.. “
“ I know, right ? You can see the sunset really well from here. “ Scott mentioned with a smile, eyes focused on the sky as Jimmy flicked the lantern on, picking a poppy from the field.
“ Look at me really quick. “ It was an innocent request and the cyanette turned, a poppy getting tucked behind his ear.
Scott blinked and brushed the flower with his fingers, rolling his eyes with a grin.
“ Oh you sap. “
“ Only for you. “ The blond hums and presses their foreheads together, the light weight in his pocket slowly growing on his consciousness.
A gentle kiss is pressed to the younger's nose and the cyanette turns to look at the sky.
“ You can see the stars really well from here too. “
Jimmy nods in agreement and sticks a hand into his pocket, fidgeting with the box a little.
“ Actually, Scott, there is a reason I brought you out here specifically. “ His voice is a bit shaky from his nerves being high but he brings the box out, opening it and holding it up.
“ Oh really ? What is i— “ The older turned and cut himself off, eyes widening as he looked at the box and then Jimmy’s nervous expression.
“ I, um, “ He swallowed, “ brought you out here because I wanted to know if you'd marry me. “
“ I love you and I want you to know that because it’s true. And I don’t think I'd want to love anybody else. But it’s okay if you don’t I just— “
The blond is cut off by lips pressing against his and gentle hands cupping his cheeks. Scott pulls away and that’s when Jimmy fully registers the smile on his face and the tears streaming down his cheeks.
“ You idiot of course I will. “ He chuckles wetly, pressing their foreheads together.
The younger smiles wide and slips the ring onto his finger, kissing his fiancé lovingly.

And when Jimmy comes home hand in hand with his now fiancé, all Grian says is,
“ I told you. “
