Work Text:
Tommy was sitting on the couch in their shared flat, playing on his phone and anxiously waiting for Wilbur to get home. He’s been planning a surprise for his boyfriend for the past two months, a romantic getaway with just the two of them, without any prying eyes on them.
The door opened and Wilbur came inside calling for Tommy. “In the living room!” he yelled back. “Hi, darling,” cooed Wil and leaned over the couch to kiss his boyfriend. “Hi, Wilby, I missed you,” Tommy pouted. “I ordered pizza, it should be here soon,” Tommy said. “Good because I’m hungry as fuck,” Tommy rolled his eyes.
They were sitting at their dinner table, Wilbur humming between bites. “Will? I have an early birthday present for you, but it’s a surprise so I won’t tell you everything!” he quickly added. The brunette stopped eating, “I thought I told you that I don’t want anything!”
“Well, it’s kinda for the two of us if you think about it. I planned a little trip. Two weeks, just me and you baby,” Tommy giggled. “Where are we going?” Wilbur asked with a childish grin. Don’t tell anyone but Tommy melted at the sight. He knew how much his boyfriend loved travelling. “I’m not telling you. We are leaving next Tuesday. Just pack some clothes and prepare your passport and visa,” he sent him a wink. “Okay, I guess I can accept a gift like that,”
_______________________________
The days were dragging slower than ever. Wilbur streamed on Sunday, so the fans didn’t ask where he is and Tommy just wrote a tweet about taking a little break. They packed their bags on Sunday, both really excited to finally get some time for themselves. Don’t get them wrong, they both loved their job and adored their friends, but being in a secret relationship with one of your best friends was surprisingly hard. But Tommy was hoping that they could change that soon.
They couldn’t fall asleep on Monday, so they pulled an all-nighter filled with movies and cuddles. Then Tuesday finally came. They left their apartment early, calling a taxi to take them to the airport.
That’s where Wilbur finally found out where they were headed. ”San Diego?” he asked, checking the ticket again. “Happy birthday!” Tommy cheered, wishing he could just kiss Wilbur. So he settled for a short hug and a brush of their hands.
They both slept through most of the flight, the all-nighter taking a toll on them. “So, do you have any specific plans?” the older asked. Tommy just smirked, “You have to wait and see,” he gently squeezed Wil’s thigh under the blanket they were both in. Wilbur glared at him, taking his hand and intertwining their fingers. The blonde smiled softly, getting comfortable.
Wilbur was staring out of the window the entire taxi ride, slowly but surely recognising where they were the longer they sat in the car. He quickly turned to his boyfriend, beaming with happiness. “Is it what I think it is?” he squeezed Tommy’s hand. But the boy just shrugged. “Tommy. Darling, baby, the love of my life please tell me. Are we going to La Jolla?” he tugged on his hand. The younger boy blushed at all the pet names and nodded with a smile. “Let’s go!” Wil cheered and kissed him.
The car stopped in front of a nice-looking house. Wil just raised an eyebrow. He was expecting a hotel, but maybe Tommy just rented a house for more privacy. They got out of the car and Wilbur followed the blonde down the pathway to the door. Tommy stopped a few steps away from the front door and started rummaging through his backpack. Will just stood silently, watching him. Tommy let out a little sound and fished something out and hid it behind his back.
“I know I said that the present is this trip. But that was a little lie,” Wilbur frowned at his words. “I just know you really love it here and, well… Here you go!” he stuttered and shoved a little box into the hands of his boyfriend. It was a little black box, with a little ribbon on top. He looked at Tommy sceptically but decided to quickly open it after he saw how nervous his boyfriend became. He untied the ribbon, opened the box and peeked inside. There were a pair of keys, with a cute guitar keychain. He took the keys out, looking between them and Tommy.
“What…” he mumbled. Tommy pointed to the house with a little smile. “I wanted you to feel at home at your favourite place so I got you one!” Wilbur just stood there with a blank expression. “You got us a house?” he asked slowly and Tommy nodded. Wilbur rushed forward, pulling the younger into a bone crushing hug. “I fucking hate you,” he mumbled into the blonde locks, but his big bright smile said otherwise. “Wanna go inside? I decorated and everything! I hope you will like it!” Tommy yelled, jumping up and down.
Will was in awe when he opened the front door. The whole house looked cosy and warm and it was exactly what he would do with the place. His favourite part would be probably the wall in the living room that’s covered in windows with a door to the patio and a view of the ocean. And he was even more excited when he found out that the bedroom had the same view, with the bed positioned so you could watch the sunset. The brunette even teared up, thanking Tommy over and over.
“When did you do all of this?” Wilbur asked over dinner. They were sitting on the patio, enjoying the last bits of sunshine. “Well I bought the house like two months ago and then I found a lady that decorated everything,” Tommy said. “I love it so much love, thank you so much. You didn’t have to do this,” he hugged the blonde with one hand, pulling him closer and resting his cheek on the blonde locks. “I didn’t have to but I wanted to,” he giggled. “I just wanted a place that would be just for the two of us. I’m glad you like it,” he tilted his head up, pressing their lips together. Wilbur pulled him into his lap, food long forgotten on the table.
Tommy’s fingers scrambled into Wilbur’s hair, tiny whimpers leaving his mouth. T he brunette made a noise in the back of his throat, sliding his large palms down Tommy's soft thighs, gripping them tightly as he stood up, bringing him to the bedroom and throwing the younger onto the bed.
“You fucking prick!” Tommy squealed as he bounced slightly. Wilbur just smirked, taking his shirt off and getting on the bed, looking his boyfriend up and down. He leaned over and kissed the younger, their tongues sliding together. One of Wilbur’s hands slid into Tommy’s hair and he tugged roughly, tilting his head up to get access to Tommy’s neck. He was sucking harshly, leaving dark mulberry marks all the way down to the boy’s collarbones. Tommy was already a whimpering mess under him, grinding his still clothed cock against Wilbur’s thigh, desperate for more.
“Enjoying yourself, baby?” Wilbur asked, his voice rough, dripping in desperation. Blue glossy eyes looked up and he nodded. “Feels so good, Wilby,” Tommy whined. “Look at you, Toms. We just started and you already look fucked out, so good for me,” Wilbur whispered into Tommy’s ear. “You will look so pretty once I’m done with you,”
____________________________
The sky started turning pink by the time the boys fell next to each other, tired and satisfied. Tommy’s body was twitching and his legs were shaking and Wilbur couldn’t look more smug. “I love you,” Will whispered into the silence. “I love you too,” Tommy replied, cuddling into the other’s side. They both fell asleep smiling and happy.
It was way past noon when the brunette woke up, the other still asleep on top of him. He started combing his fingers through the blonde hair and Tommy slowly woke up. “Good morning, sunshine,” Wilbur mumbled. Tommy just whined and buried his face into Will’s chest. “Wake up! We’re going to shower and then eat,” Wilbur nudged him.
The younger had to be carried into the bathroom, his legs would buckle with every step he tried to take. “Fucking wanker!” Tommy yelled in Wilbur’s arms. He hated being carried. “Shut up, bitch,” Wilbur growled playfully, setting Tommy down. They quickly showered because Tommy realised that he was hungry and he needed food NOW!
They ate half-burnt pancakes on the patio, talking and laughing in between bites. They decided to cuddle while watching the waves, enjoying the moment. I could stay like this forever, Tommy thought.
__________________________
Tommy felt sick to his stomach, the little velvet box in his pocket felt heavy, his knees on the verge of buckling under him. If he didn’t do it tonight he might never work up the courage to do it.
They ordered expensive steak and wine for dinner. Will was outside at the patio, their favourite place, setting the table, yes they decided to be fancy. The blonde was watching him from the kitchen, his hands gripping the edge of the kitchen. The doorbell rang and Tommy ran to the door to pick up their food, joining Will outside.
“I have food!” Tommy exclaimed, shaking the take-out containers. He opened them and plated it. “It smells so good, what the fuck,” Wilbur borderline moaned. “Pour the wine I’m going to throw these away,” the younger giggled and ran inside. Once inside, he checked the box, opening it nervously to make sure the ring is still there.
They eat and they talk, laughing and enjoying each other. “I want to stay here, forever. I don’t want to leave,” sighs Will as they fall together on the couch, watching the sunset. “Just you, me and the sun and the beach,” he adds. Tommy turns his head to look at his boyfriend. “That sounds nice,” he gives Wilbur a little kiss and wrestles his way out of Wills hug, who whines in response.
Tommy stands up and takes a deep breath and gets down on his knees in front of Wilbur. He might’ve blushed at their position if the nerves wrecking his body weren’t so strong. “Wha-” the brunette wants to ask, but Tommy shuts him up when he takes the little velvet box from his pocket. “William Gold, you had me wrapped around your finger way before we met. I was fifteen and I developed this puppy love for you. You were literally my gay awakening,” Tommy giggles. “And then we became friends and then best friends and the crush developed into something bigger, stronger. The day we went on our first date, will be forever the best day of my life. We’ve come so far in such a short amount of time and maybe it should be scary, but it just makes sense. It’s always been us against the world,” Tommy looks at Wilbur, who looks frozen, with tears falling down his cheeks.
Tommy takes a deep breath and opens the box, revealing a simple gold band with polished green sapphire in the middle. “I love every single thing about you and I want you by my side for the rest of my life… so… Will you marry me?” the question comes muffled, by tears and nerves.
Wilbur starts nodding frantically, choking broken “Yes, yes, yes,” as Tommy stands up and slips the ring onto Wilbur’s ring finger. Then he takes the hand in his, lifting it up to leave a little kiss on the finger. The brunette yanks Tommy’s hand, pulling him into his lap. “I love you so much Toms. So much…” he presses his lips all over Tommy’s face, the younger giggling. “I hate you though. I wanted to pop the question,” Will whines.
“Too bad loser, I win,” Tommy laughed, but then quickly quieted down, “How the fuck are we going to tell everyone,”
___________________
They facetimed Tommy’s mom the next day.
“Mum! Mum! Wilby said yes! He is my fiance!” he was jumping up and down with the biggest smile, which the woman matched. “That’s amazing dearheart! I told you it would be okay! Now show me that son-in-law of mine,” she giggled, forcing Will to show her the ring as if she didn’t see it when Tommy bought it. They said their goodbyes soon after, promising Tommy’s mom that they would come to visit her when they come back.
“Let’s just get everyone into a call and reveal everything,” Tommy said a few days later after most of their giddiness calmed down a bit. “How the fuck do you expect to get everyone into one call at the same time?” Will asked, knowing that most of their friends were working non-stop and let’s not forget time zones. “I need like ten minutes, and I’ll just say that it’s an emergency or something,” Tommy waved his hand. “So you’re click baiting them,” laughed Wilbur. “You know you’re the one that’s doing the talking, right?” the older asked. “Why?” Tommy whined, he didn’t wanna do it. “Well, you’re the one that proposed. It’s on your shoulders now,” Wilbur smirked.
Tommy made a big group chat where he added his closest friends, feeling nervous when he realised that they will know soon. He spammed the group chat, asking people for a few minutes of their time for a discord call, saying that it’s very important. It only took big two fights and multiple people leaving and rejoining for them to settle a time, which is in an hour, which is too soon if you asked Tommy.
Wilbur and Tommy both agreed that they will join the call separated and then just get together once it’s out. Tommy was nervously counting down the minutes he had left, biting his nails and bouncing his leg.
Tommy was about to join the VC when he got a text from his fiance.
agents calling stall for a few minutes
Tommy took a deep breath and joined the empty VC, other people joining quickly after. He got a bunch of hi’s and are you okay’s. He turned on his camera, looking at himself for a second and hoping no one will notice the faint hickeys on his neck. It would be embarrassing to let them see right the moment they learned everything.
A few people turned on their cameras as well, like Tubbo, Jack, Karl, George, and Phil - who had Kristin sitting next to him. He unmuted once everyone joined the call (except Will). “Hi, guys! Thanks for making time for us- time for me. Uhh,” he stuttered. “Are you alright mate?” asked Phil, looking concerned. “Yeah yeah! Don’t worry. Nothing bad happened I promise. Just one thing. Could you please turn off your cameras?” he could hear a bunch of people asking why. “It’s not that I don’t want to be looking at your handsome faces lads, but I’m a nervous wreck and I just can’t look at you right now. If that makes sense?” he got a bunch of okays in response and he relaxed once he could see only profile pictures.
“We have to wait for Will, cause his agent called or something. Sorry for dragging this out,” he started looking around nervously when suddenly there was a loud gasp and Tubbo’s profile picture lighted up. “Are those fucking hickeys on your neck?” he screeched and the call exploded into loud laughs and OOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHH’s.
Tommy’s hand quickly snapped up, as if he could hide it. “So Tommy! Who’s the lucky lady huh? One of your many wives?” Dream laughed loudly. Tommy blushed all the way down to his collar bones and where the fuck is Wilbur?!
“Or one of your many husbands? We don’t judge!” Karl added and Quackity yelled, “Let’s go!” Tommy felt the blush spread further if that was even possible. He started playing with his fingers and mumbled, “I’m seeing a guy,” his head snapped up at the comforting words and a bunch of congratulations thrown his way.
“Do I know him?” Tubbo just couldn’t let it go. “Yes and shut the fuck up now. Will should join any minute and then I can tell you, okay?” Tommy snapped, he didn’t feel like playing Tubbo’s little mind games and he needed Wilbur here because he could feel the panic inside of him rising.
The call got quiet for a second and then some people started chatting. WILBUR WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU? The blonde wanted to yell but thankfully the sound of a new person joining interrupted him. “Hi, guys! Hi, Tommy! Sorry for being late. I had to take a call. Is everyone here?” Wilbur spoke and Tommy felt a wave of relief crash over him.
“Everyone is here so we can finally start-”
“Wilba! Wilba look! Loverboy’s neck is full of hickeys! Can you see?” Quackity interrupted. “I see, hmm. Welcome to the non-virgin club Tommyinnit!” Wilbur exclaimed and Tommy’s jaw dropped. He could imagine that smug smirk on that fucker’s face. “OI! WHAT THE FUCK YOU DICKHEAD! I TAKE BACK EVERYTHING I SAID YESTERDAY YOU PRICK!” and Wilbur started laughing again, few other people joining even if they had zero context. “You wouldn’t dare,” Will dragged out, but fell silent.
“Okay. Just bear with me, please. As I said I’m seeing someone right now and that someone is…is a guy. I’m gay, if you like, wanted to know…” Tommy felt lightheaded. These people were the closest friends he has and he knows he can trust them, but he is still scared. What if they start attacking Will for the age gap? Or the fact that he was still seventeen when they started dating! What if they decided to tell everyone?
“Fuck I feel sick,” Tommy laughed nervously. “You all know him, you know him really well. That’s why I’m scared, I guess. And that prick made me confess on my own!” he huffed and got a couple of chuckles in response. “Hey. It’s okay, dude. We won’t judge you or anything and if you feel like you don’t want to say, you don’t have to,” Jack spoke.
Tommy laughed, “I kinda need to tell you now. And right now is already late since we are already engaged and I know it’s fucked that we didn’t tell y-” he couldn’t even finish his sentence because all hell broke loose. There was screaming, yelling and screeching. Everyone talking and asking questions over each other. No one except Tommy and Wilbur noticed that the only person who wasn’t screaming was Will.
“SHUT UP!” Tommy screamed over all of them, waiting for them to quiet down. “Yes. I am engaged, I popped the question yesterday,” a fond smile appeared on the blonde’s face. He paused, waiting for people to finish congratulating him before continuing, “Thank you, guys. I know I kinda skipped a few chapters but… I know you want to know who it is and I have no idea why I can’t fucking say it!” he said and banged his head on the table. He could hear Wilbur snickering in the background.
“Hey, kid it’s okay. Just don’t think about it. Just say the name, nothing more nothing less. NOW!” said Schlatt.
“Wilbur Soot!” Tommy squeaked.
“WHAAT?”
“WHAT DO YOU MEAN WILBUR SOOT!”
“IS THIS A JOKE?”
“WHAT THE FUCK!”
“OH, MY GOD?”
“WILBUR FUCKING SOOT?”
“OUR WILBUR? WILLIAM GOLD? DON’T TELL ME YOU FOUND SOME DUDE ACTUALLY NAMED WILBUR SOOT!”
Tommy had his head in his hands, attempting to hide from everyone. “Wilbur? Fucking say something, mate!” Tommy could hear Phil yelling over everyone, successfully shutting up the others.
The door opened and Tommy sighed loudly. He looked up at Wilbur and melted when he noticed his fond expression. “Hi dear! I’m proud of you,” Wilbur said. He picked up Tommy as if he weighed nothing, sat down and sat him in his lap. “So? Thoughts?” Will asked, laughing.
“I cannot believe that you bagged the guy you were crushing on since you were a kid and didn’t fucking tell me!” Tubbo screamed. “You are engaged to William Gold, Tom. FUCKING WILBUR SOOT!” he kept screaming. Wilbur started laughing and Tommy tried to hide in his chest.
“This wasn’t on my 2022 bingo. What the actual fuck,” Ranboo mumbled but everyone could hear it clearly. “We have been together for years, it just never came up I guess,” Wilbur said.
Tommy nodded. “I hope you’re not angry,”
“We aren’t Toms, don’t worry. I am so happy for you guys. I know we all are,” Dream said, getting a bunch of encouragement from others. “How long have you guys been together?” Phil asked. Of course, fucking Philza Minecraft would ask this question.
Tommy flinched and Willbur whispered a quiet ‘fuck’. “It will be two and a half years this month,” the brunette said. “WILL!” Phil loudly exclaimed and the call fell silent. Fuck, fuck, fuck here we go. “Phil, please! Listen to us okay? Please dadza,” Tommy whined and then turned to look at Wilbur with pleading eyes.
“I know this sounds bad, just hear me out. This whole thing happened a lot quicker than I thought, believe me. We were… We were fucking dancing around it for a month and I seriously tried to push this fucker away but I just couldn’t, he practically bullied me into it and-”
“And you bullied me into telling my mother you prick!” Tommy interrupted with a whine. “Yes, I did that. Before we even became like official. I made him tell his parents because he was a minor, obviously and I just had to make sure they were okay with it. I would drop it if they said no. So I gave him a chance and this fucker wrapped me around his finger immediately,” Will chuckled.
“That’s why we didn’t tell anyone. We were scared. And before you ask Phil, because I know you will. Everything was consensual like he refused to do anything more than a few kisses here and there before I actually turned eighteen,” Tommy added.
“It’s okay boys. I shouldn’t even be surprised now I think about it. It’s always been Wilbur and Tommy, huh?” he laughed and the boys visibly relaxed. “Thank you!” Tommy started bouncing up and down until Wilbur gripped his waist tightly. Tommy looked up with a cheeky smile and wiggled his eyebrows and Will slapped him.
“Ewww,” someone whined and everyone started laughing. “Tell us about the proposal! Please I need to know!” Karl said. “Well we are on a holiday right now and we were just sitting outside watching the sunset like the love-sick bitches we are right? It was so romantic I’m telling you!” Tommy started gushing out. “And I just got down on one knee, as one does, and then I said the whole speech and Will cried!”
“I did not!”
“Yes, you did!”
“I don’t cry prick, it was the wind,”
“No, it wasn’t!”
“Yes, it was!”
“Just admit it you prick! You were fucking crying when I asked you to marry me!”
“Stop lying you asshole!”
“Bitch,”
“Dickhead,”
“Pussy,”
“Cunt,”
“Bastard!”
“Prick!”
“HA! I already called you that! You lose! You cried just admit it. I cried too,” Tommy said.
“I cried. But who the fuck wouldn’t?”
“They already act like a married couple, jesus fucking christ this is going to be hell,” Ranboo said. “As if they didn’t act like that before. We are so fucking blind,” someone else said. “Will! Show us the ring!” Karl yelled, so Wilbur rolled the chair they were sitting on closer and then showed everyone the hand.
“That’s so pretty! Tommy, did you pick it yourself?” Niki asked. “I had an idea of what I wanted and mother innit helped a lot,” Tommy grinned, holding Wilbur’s hand in his, playing with the ring.
“I’m so sorry guys but I have to go,” said Jack. “Congratulations dickheads! You look good together,” he added and then left the VC. “Yeah, so we will be going too. Thank you for making time for us and for being kind and all the nice words, really.” Will said. “If you have any more questions just shoot one of us a text! Bye guys, I love you!” Tommy added and disconnected them. It only took a few seconds before Tommy’s phone started blowing up.

_________________________
The wedding was beautiful and chaotic and just so them. Everyone was happy and had fun. People cried at their vows and laughed at Tubbo’s and Phil’s speeches. And they took countless polaroid pictures and had the time of their life.
A week later, Tommy sent the whole internet into shambles. He changed his twitter name and youtube channel name from Tom Simons to Tom Gold. All the fans were speculating. One half was convinced that it was just another family bit, while others were sure that they were together.
Three days later, they got their answers. Wilbur posted a picture on his instagram. The picture captured two men, looking at each other with the biggest smiles on their faces. They were holding their hands, their matching rings shining in the sunset behind them, the view from their patio in the background. The caption was ‘ Maybe one day I’ll live in La Jolla ’
Tommy and Wilbur were laughing over everyone’s reactions, excited that people were happy for them. And maybe one day, they would live here and drink cocktails over the water. Just the two of them, the sun and the waves.
