| F irst we had everyone thinking that we were together before we even realised that was what we wanted ourselves and now this
Ethan let out a chuckle upon remembering the fact that nobody looked surprised when they revealed that they were dating each other. "I still don't think we were that obvious," he teased with a soft smile resting on his lips. He definitely knew they were being obvious with their stolen glances and the way they talked about each other when the other person wasn't there. It was the little things that made their Captain realize that no, this wasn't just partnership. There was something more going on in there and while the man didn't obsess to find out, he knew that they would reveal what they were when they were ready. "Oh yeah, for sure." Ethan said with a chuckle falling from his lips when Antonio told him that it would be a funny story to tell the kids. They were both waiting for the right time and that's when they proposed right now. Everything was a lot calmer in comparison to how things were before. So now was definitely the right time for such a question and he was so glad they had finally asked one another. The hardest step was over and now, he was certain that everything else would sail smoothly for them. "I know you wouldn't." Ethan said in a soft voice, sounding sure of it. He knew that Toni would never make fun of him for it. He watched with a softened look as Antonio pressed a kiss on his knuckle above his ring. "You're so cute it's making my heart hurt." In a good way, of course. "It really will." Ethan agreed almost instantly as he nodded his head a few times. "Do you wanna start planning our wedding right away? I feel like it would be very fun if we did." Ethan said with a soft smile resting on his lips. He looked like he was excited to get married to Antonio and he was. There was just no denying it. "Or we could start looking at venues. Unless you wanna have the wedding here, which also works for me. I'm definitely talking a lot right now, aren't I?" |

“I think we were awful at hiding it from everyone apart from each other,” Antonio chuckled. He hadn’t seen any of the glances that Ethan had sent his way and he was pretty sure that Ethan hadn’t seen any of his either. They hadn’t changed the way that they were around each other, they had talked to each other the same way they always had done and they had both ended up talking about the other while he wasn’t around apparently but during the war no one had really paid too much notice to anything like that, they had all been too busy fighting for their lives. It had been so easy to fall back into old habits after Ethan got to Mystic Falls but this time they’d had people around them who had paid attention and had realised what was going on probably long before either of them had done. To begin with that had embarrassed Antonio but he knew now that it didn’t really matter and if anything it had made it that much easier knowing that they already had that support. “They’ll definitely be in for a surprise when they get back from the movies unless neither of us was subtle about this either,” Antonio grinned. The kids were incredibly perceptive and he and Ethan really hadn’t been good at hiding what was going on in the past so a part of him wouldn’t be surprised if they had realised that something was going on with them now but he knew that it would still be fun to tell them anyway. Antonio had waited so long for what he had hoped would be the perfect moment to ask Ethan and he knew now that he wasn’t the only one who had been doing that. The fact that they had both waited until exactly the same night really wasn’t something that he would have expected but he knew that he wouldn’t have it any other way. The certainty in Ethan’s voice when he said that he knew he wouldn’t make fun of him for crying was enough to bring a small smile to Antonio’s face. They knew each other so well and there were times when they teased each other but he knew that neither of them would do that over this. It had already been such a perfect night so far and he knew that he wanted that to continue. “I hope you mean that in a good way,” he said as his eyes met Ethan’s. Soon enough Ethan was asking if they should start making plans before asking if he was talking a lot right now and Antonio couldn’t help but smile as he nodded. “You are but it’s adorable,” he assured him as he gave Ethan’s hand a gentle squeeze. “I think we should start planning. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy, just our nearest and dearest would be fine with me,” he admitted. He hadn’t really thought about it too much before now but he really couldn’t wait to marry Ethan so the sooner the better as far as he was concerned. “Do you want to get married soon or would you rather have a long engagement?” he asked. He hoped that it wouldn’t be the latter but he knew that he wanted to make sure that they were both on the same page. ETHAN ALVAREZ

| I think we were awful at hiding it from everyone apart from each other,
Ethan chuckled at Antonio's words before he eventually relented and nodded his head in agreement. They had been too obvious to those around them but somehow, they weren't obvious to each other. It was funny, thinking about it now. But back then, it was something close to torture. He was just beyond relieved that he could have Toni like this. Not just as a partner at work, but as a boyfriend, fiance and soon enough, husband. It was surreal, just htinking about it. It made those weird butterflies awaken in the pit of his stomach. It made him happy just thinking about them getting married. They’ll definitely be in for a surprise when they get back from the movies unless neither of us was subtle about this either, "You know, Gabriela did mention something about me being suspicious today. She said I had the look of someone who had been struggling with constipation for exactly three centuries. So yeah, she definitely knows I was up to something. I was really nervous about it earlier." Ethan admitted with a soft chuckle falling from his lips, remembering how his heart kept jumping whenever he thought about proposing. How his breathing got a bit quicker, too. "You know I did, babe." Ethan said with a soft smile resting on his lips. He definitely meant it in a good way. "Aw. Thank you. Sometimes I try to be adorable and other times, it just comes naturally." He teased with a half-smile resting on his lips. "Yeah, I really don't care if it's fancy. Actually, we could have it right here and I would be very happy and very content." The younger said with a soft smile resting on his lips as he momentarily looked around them, visualizing how the house would look if they were to get married right here. "I wanna get married soon." He replied almost right away before he cleared his throat and composed himself again. "I mean, uh, I think we've waited enough, right? I want us to get married soon. Really soon preferably. Like tomorrow kinda soon. Actually wait no... That's too soon. In a month?" |

This still felt so surreal to Antonio. Ethan had been back in his life for less than a year but during the time that they had spent together Antonio had come to realise that he had found the person that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with. Ever since Ethan died he had struggled to move on with his life and even though he hadn’t known the true extent of his feelings for the other guy back then it just hadn’t felt right being with anyone else. Even after Ethan moved in with them it had taken Antonio a long time to accept how he felt about Ethan but now they were both finally being honest with each other he felt like he was able to truly be himself. Being around Ethan had always been so easy after they got passed the initial awkwardness and now Antonio was beyond proud to be able to call Ethan not just his partner while he was at work but also his fiancé. He had bought the ring months ago and had been searching for the perfect time to ask him ever since then and now he had finally asked the question and Ethan had said yes it felt like a weight had been lifted. “She almost caught me looking at the ring I bought you a few times as well, she’s far too perceptive for her own good,” Antonio chuckled. Ela had known how the two of them felt about each other before they had known it themselves and it really wouldn’t surprise him if she had at least had a suspicion that they were at this stage in their relationship already as well. They had adopted Elias together, they lived together and they worked together o all aspects of their lives were intertwined but the truth was that Antonio wouldn’t have it any other way. He was so proud of the life they had built together and he was looking forward to seeing what the next chapter of their life together was going to hold. He was so nervous about proposing but it turned out that even in that respect the two of them were on exactly the same page and he knew that he couldn’t ask for any more than that. “I’m glad,” Antonio said, a smile forming on his face as he brought his hand up and cupped Ethan’s cheek gently. “It’s always cutest when you do it without meaning to,” he chuckled. Even before they got together he had known that Ethan could be adorable but back then he had tried not to think about it too much because just thinking about it had been enough to make his heart ache. Now he knew that he didn’t have to worry about that any longer, though, and for that he was truly grateful. “Same here,” he admitted as Ethan said that they could get married in their home and be happy. Their home was always going to be special to him and he couldn’t think of a better place to start their lives together. Hearing Ethan say that he wanted to get married soon was enough to bring a smile to Antonio’s face and he nodded. “I think we’ve definitely waited long enough,” he agreed. “We’ve still got planning to do so tomorrow will be too soon but I don’t want to wait any longer than we have to,” he admitted gently. “A month sounds great, I’m sure the kids will be excited and I’ll have to make sure that mom, dad and Diego can make it. They know we’re together but hopefully this won’t blow their minds too much.” His parents were very traditional and he knew that they were doing their best to accept the fact that he and Ethan were in a relationship but getting married was something else entirely and he knew that he could only hope that they were going to be supportive.

Ethan let out a chuckle at Toni's words before he whispered a soft 'wow' under his breath. "Definitely a smart kid, just like her dad." He didn't clarify which dad on purpose, just because he wanted to tease Antonio a little bit. "But I'm really glad that we got the hardest step outta the way. Now, it should be all smooth from here." His smile lasted on his lips about three seconds before it dimmed as he held up his index finger. "I probably shouldn't have said that. I really hope I didn't just jinx us for an eternity. Please jinx Gods, forgive my rookie mistake." Ethan pressed his palms together in a faux praying gesture before he looked down with a disappointed sigh falling from his lips as if he was feeling disappointed in himself. I’m glad, It’s always cutest when you do it without meaning to, Same here, I think we’ve definitely waited long enough, We’ve still got planning to do so tomorrow will be too soon but I don’t want to wait any longer than we have to, A month sounds great, I’m sure the kids will be excited and I’ll have to make sure that mom, dad and Diego can make it. They know we’re together but hopefully this won’t blow their minds too much. "I knew I could always count on you to be my biggest supporter." Ethan said with a chuckle falling from his lips when Toni said that it was always the cutest when he did it without meaning to. "I'm pretty sure you're the only person who's ever praised and complimented me this much, if I'm being honest." Ethan said with a chuckle falling from his lips. "And I love it." "Yeah, we've definitely waited long enough." Ethan agreed with a soft chuckle falling from his lips as he scratched the back of his neck in a sheepish manner. Though he soon lowered his hand to look at the ring on it, his heart skipping a beat all over again. "Yeah, okay, tomorrow definitely sounds too soon. We probably wouldn't even be able to pick any suits. We'd just be getting married in our pajamas." Ethan teased with a chuckle falling from his lips. "So yeah, a month works fine with me. That way, we have time to do everything and to also wait for your parents and brother to get here." Ethan said with a gentle smile resting on his lips. "I'm sure they'll wrap their heads around it because they know that this will make you happy." By this he meant the marriage. "I still can't believe we're actually doing this. It feels like a dream, if I'm being honest." Ethan looked down at the ring on his finger with a gentle smile resting on his lips. "I love you, Toni. I love you so much." |

“I think you mean just like her dads,” Antonio corrected, a smile forming on his face as he looked over at Ethan. He had been so nervous about letting anyone into the girls’ lives after Samara died but with Ethan it had felt so natural. He had moved in with them rather than staying at the motel and Antonio didn’t regret that decision one bit. It had taken a while for anything to happen between them but after they admitted how they felt Antonio had known that there was no way that they could keep it from the girls. Thankfully they had been happy for them and even though he hadn’t talked to them about proposing to Ethan before he went ahead and did it, Antonio knew that they were going to be happy for them now as well and he hoped that Elias would be too. He had never thought that he would end up sharing the title of “dad” but with Ethan it felt right, everything did. “You’d better not have jinxed us, we’ve been through enough already,” he chuckled, knowing that the last thing they needed was for something else to happen now. “Always,” Antonio grinned. He’d always believed in Ethan and he knew that the guy often didn’t believe in himself so Antonio wasn’t afraid to encourage him when he needed it. The two of them had clashed at first but they’d soon worked through their differences and now there wasn’t anyone that he trusted more. As Ethan spoke again, Antonio couldn’t help but laugh. “Well, you’d better get used to it because it isn’t going to stop any time soon,” Antonio assured him. “Besides, you deserve every one,” he added. He knew that Ethan’s life while he was growing up hadn’t been particularly easy thanks to his parents but Ethan deserved so much better than that and Antonio had realised a while ago that he had wanted to show Ethan the way that things were meant to be. It had taken them a while to get to where they were now but soon they were going to be starting the next chapter of their lives together and he couldn’t wait. “Yeah, we’re definitely not doing that,” he chuckled as Ethan said that they would just be getting married in their pajamas. “I know we can renew our vows as often as we want to but I want our wedding day to be one to remember,” he added. They were lucky in that they weren’t just going to be able to spend just a mortal life together like so many in Mystic Falls, they were both immortal and Antonio knew that he couldn’t think of anything better than spending the rest of his long life with Ethan. His parents had been together for over a thousand years and Antonio had always wanted to find someone that he could see himself having that kind of future with as well and he had definitely found that in Ethan. “Diego will definitely be fine with it, it’s my parents I’m not so sure about,” Antonio admitted. He knew that they supported their relationship because Ethan made him happy but his parents were old fashioned and he knew that it would take them a minute to get their heads around the fact that he and Ethan were getting married and quite soon if they could manage it and he could only hope that they would come to terms with it and be there for them. “It feels that way to me too. I still can’t believe you planned on proposing today as well,” he said, knowing that that was something that it would take him a while to get his head around. He had been so nervous about asking Ethan to marry him but it turned out that he needn’t have felt that way after all. It was something that was very on point for them but it was still incredible. As Ethan said that he loved him, Antonio felt a smile form on his face and his hand found the back of his fiancé’s neck as he pulled Ethan in for a kiss. “I love you too,” he said, his forehead resting against Ethan’s as he couldn’t bring himself to pull away completely just yet. “Are you ready for dessert or shall we make the most of having the house to ourselves for a while longer?”ETHAN ALVAREZ
