Work Text:

 

When you say that you love me
Feels like I’m walking across the sky

Tell me about forever, just one more time

 

whenever pat told pran he loved him; it surged a feeling like no other, it made pran feel like he was floating, like he could do anything and he never wanted it to end. pran didn't want to brag but their love was one for the ages, starting from strangers, going to friends, then back to strangers to somewhat enemies and finally to lovers, it took a long time for them to be where they are right now; cuddled up to one another in their shared bed, staring at each other with something that can only be described as electric, and pran couldn't be happier. 

 

"what are you thinking about dimples?" pat asked, gently running his hand down pran's cheeks. 

 

"just thinking of how far we've come pup." pran smiled, causing pat to move his hand to the indentation and poked it. "tell me about our future again." 

 

pat nestled himself deeper into pran's arms and recounted every single detail of what he wanted their future to consist of, and pran was hooked on every word, he knew it all by heart but he wanted to hear it over and over until it came true. 

 

"i want all of that too." pran whispered, pat looking at him with the upmost happiness. "with you and only you."

 

"then i'll do everything in my power to make it happen, we deserve this." pat whispered back, putting their foreheads together gently. 

 

pran teared up, and soon after smashed his lips onto pat's, putting all of the passion he could muster into it, which pat ferciously returned. 

 

So take my hand right now
I can’t believe myself

Words I said thousands of times only to myself
Don’t leave me

 

pran could remember the day he and pat officially admitted their feelings for one another as if it had just happened, it was during college when the two were going through 'upping one another' phase and after an accidental kiss, instead of talking it out, both stupidly decided to start a bet on who could make the other fall first. pran never thought it was a good idea and kicked himself over and over again for even suggesting it, even now, he still shakes his head in annoyance at his younger self. 

 

"what do you think would've happened if korn and wai hadn't pushed us here?" pran asked out loud, not really meaning too. 

 

"honestly? i don't know, back then we were two stupid kids who couldn't work out their true feelings." pat sighed, wrapping his around pran's waist.

 

the two were currently celebrating their six year anniversary on the rooftop where their little bet came to a screeching halt, and pran couldn't stop thinking of how it happened. they were pushed onto the roof by korn and wai, who had been fed up with their games and were told to work it out, naturally it led to an arguement which then led to pran breaking down and coming clean about his true feelings. 

 

"you know, i've never said those words to anyone before." pran said, a few minutes of silence later. "yeah i've said them to myself over and over in my head but i never said them to another person, and god, i'm so fucking happy that it was you." 

 

pat's heart swelled at that, pran had rarely opened up about that night, not wanting to bring up how much they argued and spewed angry words at each other before finally confessing; but being there, he was reliving it and he realized he never really gave pat the reassurance he'd needed.

 

"i'm so happy it was me too, you have no idea." pat broke the silence, kissing the boys forehead in absolute glee.

 

pran smiled and snuggled in closer to pat, never wanting his current feeling to end. 

 

But all unhappiness stopped
You brought heaven to me

Don’t speak so easily
Because without you, there’s no me

 

before pat, pran never prided himself on being a happy person. he never had anything to be happy about; as a child he was told to be the best and succeed at everything, he wasn't allowed to be free and have fun. as a teenager, he was told the same thing; be the best, excel, study, study, no friends, no after school activites. then as an adult, it was the world bringing him down, his life was heading on a path downwards and he was completely fine with not being happy, until pat, who showed him that happiness is what you make it to be, and everyone deserves happiness. 

 

"you ready for this?" ink asked, fixing pran's outfit. 

 

"i've been ready since the day we met." pran laughed as his cheesiness. 

 

ink giggled and finished last looks. "alright you're all set, i'm going to go fine pa and see how their doing okay? wai said he'd be back in a few minutes, just breath, okay?"

 

pran chuckled and nodded, looking in the mirror at his apperance. six and a half years later and it was finally happening. he was so happy he could burst. 

 

You’re my salvation, you’re my shield
I just need you

You got the best of me I need you

So please just don’t leave me
You got the best of me

 

"gentlemen? it's time." the man spoke, a teasing tone slipping out. 

 

"pat, when we first met, and you said one day that we'd be standing here vowing to one another, i would've laughed and spit in your face." the crowd and pat himself chuckled. "i was a bitter and resentful person who thought everything and everyone were out to get me and i would never be able to find happiness. and then you came barreling into my life full force and made me open my eyes and realize i was the obsticle standing in my way. you changed me in so many wonderful ways and i'm forever grateful you did. you saw the best in me when i didn't think there was any left, you're my everything, literally, every good thing in my life happened because of you and i'll never be able to thank you enough, i love you."

 

"you had to go and upstage me huh?" pat mumbled out after a few minutes, wiping his face of the tears that were streaming down his face. "pran, i love you, i loved you since the day we met and i'll love you until the day we die. i might've shown you a better world, but you showed me my future. you showed me that i want it to be you i turn old and grey with, i want it to be you i adopt a child with, i want it to be you i die next to when it's finally time, you're my whole damn world and i will always be by your side. always."

 

pran didn't wait for the official words, he dove right in and pressed a deep, passionate kiss on pat that showed everything he was feeling, the tears melting into it, turning a bit salty, which pat didn't seem to mind as he pulled pran even closer.

 

he'd said it before, but he'd never stop, pat was his everything. 

 

his moon.

 

his sky. 

 

his stars. 

 

his home. 

 

his heart. 

 

his shield. 

 

his euphoria.

 

the best thing pran had; and would remain to have for the rest of his life.

 

Notes:

so i struggled with this a little, best of me is such a good song but it has a lot of repeating words and it was more difficult to come up with scenarios, but alas, here you go! this is NOT beta read so there will be spelling mistakes, i apologize for that!

kudos and comments are always appreciated!

till next time!
