Chapter Text
It was a lovely day and Joseph knew exactly what he was going to do today, it’s been about three years sense the pillar men fight.
Caesar and Joseph have been dating for about a year and a half now, today was the day Joseph was going to propose to the man he’s loved for two years.
He walks through the doorway and out of his bedroom and into the hallway, before taking a deep breath. And making his way to find Caesar.
He’s checked room after room looking for him before he finds Caesar in the living room.. fast asleep, a blanket draped over his lithe frame, noticing the bit of drool on his chin and lips.
Joseph makes his way over to the couch, plopping down next to Caesar’s socked feet.
He takes one more deep breath and begins to shake Caesar just enough to wake him from his light slumber. Caesar pulls himself up into a sitting position.. letting his chin rest on his hand, rubbing his eyes with the other.
“JoJo?” He slurs sleepily, looking around in slight confusion. “Erm.. Caesar would you like to go on a date tonight?” Joseph asks sheepishly, rubbing the back of his head in nervousness, a slight gasp spills from Caesars drool covered lips.
“Yes! I would! I’d love to!” He says all the sleepiness disappearing from his voice almost immediately, “I’ve got to go get ready!” He says excitedly a wild smile on his face.
Jumping up from the couch and dashing out of the room. “Okay, I guess I’ll see you later tonight, my love.” Joseph says with a soft smile on his face before going to get ready himself.

Later as Joseph was getting ready for the date. He decided he was going to take Caesar to the very same restaurant that they first met at.
He fixed his thin red tie, and then he reaches over to pick up the small box laying on the bedside table, after clicking open the navy blue box to look at the quite expensive diamond ring that he had custom made.. ‘Hopefully it’s perfect for Caesar.’ He thinks to himself.
He takes a long deep breath before putting it in his pocket. ‘I can do this, I’m going to propose to him and then we’re going to get married.’ He reassured himself, exiting the door.
He met with Caesar, who was waiting outside the building, taking a breath of the cool air.
He swallows the lump in his throat.. a thick blush covers his face, Caesar looks absolutely gorgeous. He’s wearing a white button up covered by a pale blue sleeveless sweater vest, matched with a white pair of slacks and then just a pair of his old sneakers. And his hair is free of his usual headband.
“Are you ready to go JoJo?” Caesar asked, Joseph nodded and both of the men got into the car. And proceed to make their way to the restaurant, they blasted the radio on the ride there.
After arriving at the restaurant.. and parking the car.
Joseph was still a little worried about the proposal, he pushed the feeling of worry away and swallowed the lump in his throat.
He got out of the car and stepped over to Caesar’s side and pulls open the door for him. He grabs ahold of Caesar’s hand, Smiling at the thin blush covering his high cheekbones.
They made their way into the doors of the restaurant, “Seat yourself.” The hostess says quickly before jogging away. They quickly find a seat and slid into the chairs. “Im so happy you took me out JoJo!” Caesar said happily, opening the menu and seeking out the choices and as did Joseph.
The waiter asks what they want and after finally making choices, they ordered their food, waiting for it to come. “What was the reason you wanted to go out?” Caesar asks, chin resting in his hands.
“I-..Uhm.. No reason really, I just wanted to take my boyfriend out to dinner.” Joseph said eyes jolting to the side and a little laugh comes from Caesar. “Are you sure?” He questioned once more, “Yes. One-hundred percent.” Joseph lied through his teeth.
‘He couldn’t know right?’ Joseph thought a drop of sweat sliding down his chin, a few moments later, came their food and drinks. Caesar order the Pasta alla Carbonara and Joseph order the Abbacchio allo Scottadito, “Mmm!” Caesar and Joseph hummed together as they took a bite of their food.
——————
About an hour passed by, eating, chatting and overall just having a good time. It was around the time they should probably head home, Caesar stood up and Joseph stood up right in front of him.
“You ready to go?” Caesar asks with a smile.
“One thing before we leave…”
“hm, What?” Caesar asked tilting his head in confusion.
Joseph takes a long deep breath, Sliding his hand into his pocket and getting onto one knee. A light gasp coming from Caesar, “Caesar Zeppeli, Will you make me the happiest man in the world and marry me?” Joseph asks, as he pulls open the navy box, exposing the Dimond ring.
Tears hitting the corner of Caesar’s eyes and he clasped a hand over his mouth.. tears start streaming down his beautiful face. Joseph looked up worried he was gonna say no.
“..Yes! Yes please. I’ll marry you!” Caesar cries out, trying hard to wipe his tears away. Placing a hand at the tip of the box, Joseph pulls the ring out and slides it on to his slim, yet muscular finger.
Joseph set the box on the floor and stood up, pulling in Caesar and kissing him hard but romantic.
They pulled apart resting their foreheads onto each other, tears spilling from their eyes and claps come from around the room, making them giggle like little kids.
