So…"
"Soooo…"
”You start."
"No you!"
"For fucks sake."
"I mean isn't that the goal here?"
"-Shut up!"
"So you'll start then?"
"I hate that you played me into that."
"You do that all the time to me, fair is fair Mr. CEO."
"Fine, so we're here to discuss our current situationship and the future."
"You mean the fact that we're fucking and that we were both too chickenshit to do anything about it until you almost died and I panicked?"
"Yes that."
"So what now?"
"So, we are once again at an impasse. We got two options, either we get together officially or we continue to pretend that neither of us want this."
Danny takes Tim's hand and squeezes it, "I want this, I want you and I want us."
"I want us too," Tim confesses.
"So why aren't we together?!?! We go to sleep together, I basically moved in," Danny whines.
"You did?"
"Star- My love, I haven't slept in my own place in weeks, why am I still paying rent?"
"Your love?" Tim fixates on instead of the other stuff.
"Yes, my love, my light, my heart," Danny confesses with a shy smile.
"My love, my darling, my sweetheart, my soul," Tim responds, pulling Danny's hand to his lips pressing a kiss to them softly.
Danny reddens and giggles, "you're distracting me! I basically moved in weeks ago, why am I paying rent?"
"I offered to pay your rent so many times, and now you complain that you have to pay it? What is this, slander Tim hours?" Tim argues playfully.
"No! I am perfectly capable of paying my own rent, but why do so when I'm living with you full time at this point?" Danny questions gesturing to the room.
"Did you want to?" Tim asks carefully.
"What?"
"Did you want to live with me all the time? I'm a lot, you'll never get privacy, my family and friends seem to think that I have an open door policy. It's not like I do per say but I'm never gonna turn away someone hurt. I'm also not used to living with people, I only stayed at the manor for a short time. I barely know how to be a person sometimes. I'm rude, I'm loud, I'm too quiet, I'm messy and I'm too self absorbed. I'm a nightmare, are you sure you want that?" Tim states looking down at the floor trying to prepare himself to see Danny walk out of that door for the last time.
"-look at me," Danny asks.
Tim shakes his head, not wanting the tears forming in his eyes to appear, trying to will them away.
Tim sees and then feels Danny's hand touch his chin, forcing him to raise his head and face to Danny's soft concerned face.
"Oh my love, if you're a mess, than I'm a disaster. I have ghosts haunting me all the time, kitchen appliances get overshadowed all the time. I have no sense of what is normal, I leave fight damage everywhere, there is ectoplasm everywhere, you're gonna be neon green in random places. I have large eyeballs flying in without my permission and passive aggressive sticky notes and scrolls scattered everywhere. If you're a nightmare then I'm a night terror, are you sure you wanna live with me full time?" Danny questions.
Tim nods his head furiously.
Danny grins and leans in to press a kiss to Tim's lips and Tim leans forward to match him. It's soft, it's a mere moment of the story of them, it speaks of a future. It's a glimpse of the devotion they have for the other, only beginning to bloom and flourish now that all the cards are starting to be revealed.
They pull back and Danny pulls Tim into his arms and they sit down, with Tim in his lap on the couch.
"We got distracted, we really need to discuss this. I need to see your face and not be touching you, you distract me too easily," Tim says while trying to pull himself out Danny's lap. Danny raises an eyebrow and does not let him go.
"No, you're more honest like this. Besides we're moving in the right direction, I'm already gonna move in, but we still need to clarify a few things," Danny rebukes.
"Fine."
"So, what's next?" Danny questions.
"…I love you and you love me, will you be mine?" Tim blurts out staring Danny in the eyes.
"I was yours from the day we met," Danny responds instantly.
"And I was yours but will you be my boyfriend?" Tim interrupts.
"I was hoping that would be husband but we'll get there."
"-husband?!? You wanna marry me?" Tim states in wonder.
"I already have a ring," Danny confesses.
"Where?" Tim questions.
"Here," Danny reaches into his pocket and pulls out a box.
"How?"
"Ghost powers," Danny shrugs and opens the box showing a beautiful ring, dainty, covered in diamonds like little stars.
Tim looks at the ring and then looks at Danny, he…wants he wants so bad. It's dumb, it's stupid and it literally makes no sense but…
"Yes."
"Yes?"
"Yes, put it on."
"What?
"I want to be your husband. I'll get you your ring and our wedding bands soon."
"You want to marry me?" Danny whispers astonished.
"Yes, I love you." Tim responds with a teary smile.
"I need to get on one knee, hold on!" Danny tries to get up and Tim forces him back down.
"No I like this, put my ring on me fiancé," Tim commands.
"I didn't even get to actually ask you!"
"Fine, I'll ask you because I don't have a ring, Danny will you marry me?" Tim asks, still sitting in Danny's lap.
"Yes my heart, my love, my soul my everything, I'll marry you!" Danny bursts out.
"We're really doing this backwards, but put my ring on me," Tim requests.
Danny looks in wonder as he takes the ring out of the box and puts it on Tim's waiting hand. They just look at this in wonder.
"So what now?"
"Let's go get married, but stop for the temporary rings first," Tim offers.
"Now?"
"City hall closes at 7, and the city clerk owes me a favour."
"They do?"
"They do, and I know a great jewelry store on the way."
"So we're doing this?"
"Yes."
They look at each other press another kiss to each other's lips and get up.
"Let's go get married."
"My family is gonna kill me."
"So will mine."
"You're already half dead, what's the worst that could happen?"
They look at each other and laugh, and then head towards the door, stepping out towards their new future, knowing the chaos will unfold but they will weather it together.
"Coming husband?" Tim questions.
"Always," Danny responds following him and closing the door behind them.
