"Come on, Taylor! It'll be fun! I promise." I grip onto his arm as we pull into the hotel parking lot.
It was the All-Star break weekend, so I thought Taylor might want to spend a few days at Disney World with me. I may have thought wrong because by the look on his face, he didn't look like he was going to be having any fun.
"Just so you know, I'm only here because of you." He unbuckles his seatbelt and gets out of the car. Once he grabs our suitcases, we go into the hotel lobby to check-in.
While on the way to find our hotel room, I try to get him at least a little excited about our next few days here.
"Which park should we go to first? There's Animal Kingdom, Epcot, Magic Kingdom, or Hollywood Studios." I push the keycard into the slot, and it clicks open.
I glance back at Taylor and it seems like he couldn't care less about this trip.
I wanted him to have fun, and to get a break from the stressful season he's been having. All he ever does is worry, especially since the end of the regular season is coming up.
"Taylor." I say, trying to get his attention.
"What?" He glances up from his phone.
"Will you at least act like you care about this vacation? I did this for you, you know?" I cross my arms as I stand about four feet in front of him.
"I'm sorry, (Y/N). I'm just pretty stressed, still." He puts his phone down and stands up to pull me into a hug. "Which park is your favorite? We can go there." He says.
"Magic Kingdom."

"Aren't you having a great time?" I ask.
Taylor got a pair of Mickey Mouse ears, while I got a pair of Minnie Mouse ears. I made him take about a thousand photos, which he wasn't too happy about, be he survived.
"Yeah, I actually am." He smiled his adorable smile. "Thank you, (Y/N)." He pulls me in front of the castle. The lights are twinkling, like diamonds.
"You're welcome, Taylor." He pulls me into a hug and places his lips on mine. "You look extra adorable in your ears." I smile and straighten the headband on his head.
"If my teammates see me in this, you're dead." I laugh and give him a kiss on the cheek.
We stand in front of the castle, Taylor's arms around me from behind. A few people start to gather around the castle to wait for the fireworks.
"Hey, (Y/N)." Taylor says in my ear.
"Hm?" I say. He doesn't respond so I turn around to see a serious faced Taylor. "What's wrong, babe?"
"Oh, I just have something I need to do." He says.
"What is it?"
"Come here, first." He drags me over to the very center of the pavement, right in front of the castle.
"You're scaring me." I admit while laughter escapes my lips.
"Don't be scared." He softly places his lips on my forehead and steps back. "Thank you for dragging me on this trip. I honestly didn't think that I was going to have as much fun as I'm having right now." He smiles. "But I should have known you would've taken me somewhere that you know I would love. You know me better than anyone else."
He gets down on one knee in front of me as I gasp and put my hand over my mouth. "You're my best friend, (Y/N). The last two years I've spent with you have been the best two years of my entire life. I want more years with you. I want a forever with you. I hope you want one with me, too." He pulls out a ring from his jean pocket and presents it to me. "Will you marry me, (Y/N)?"
A crowd has formed around us, but I'm too distracted to notice.
"Yes, Taylor! Yes!"
He slips the ring on my finger and pulls me into a hug. I kiss him hard, letting him know how much he means to me.
"I love you so much." He says against my lips.
"I love you too." I smile into our kiss.
Applause erupts from all around us, surprising us just as the fireworks go off.
"Did you plan this?" I ask him.
"Maybe." He smirks. "You're really easy to surprise, (Y/N)." He laughs.
"Sometimes I hate you." I smile up at him.
"No, you don't." He states.
I laugh, "I know."
"Come on. Let's go on Space Mountain again." He grabs my hand and leads me towards Tomorrowland.

A year later we say our vows in front of the same castle. All of our family and friends are there to watch us as we begin our forever together.
