✓ | NOTHING TO REGRET ↺ MATTHEW GRAY GUBLER

epilogue.

"Bold of you to assume we need wine glasses to be romantic. Just pop open the bottle and we can drink it straight from there." Margo looked over her shoulder and gave him a look accompanied by a sly smirk.

"To think we were going to be more sophisticated after we moved into our first home together." But nevertheless, Matthew followed Margo's instructions and opened the bottle.

After Margo discarded the broken glass, she put aside another box from the countertop and pushed herself on top of the counter. A soft smile broke onto Matthew's lips as he watched her climb onto the countertop before handing her the wine bottle. "You get the first sip."

"Why thank you." she grinned, greedily taking the bottle into her grasp before taking a small sip and then handing it back to her boyfriend. "We have to go furniture shopping soon."

"Ah, let's not talk about that." Matthew laughed, shaking his head after sipping from the bottle. "I'm just glad we have our essentials right now."

"A proper bed is essential, so are a few couches and a table... some paintings would be nice too." Margo retorted, causing Matthew to roll his eyes and point the wine bottle at her.

"Margo, I'm too tired to even think about what we need to decorate the house with. Let's not forget I want to redo the fireplace to make it look like a drunk gnome made it." he hummed as his girlfriend took the bottle from him.

She took a long sip before rolling her eyes and giggled softly as she looked at the man in front of her. "Oh fine, you're not fun." Then she placed the wine bottle on the counter next to her before getting off of the counter and looking up at him with a small smile.

Matthew raised a brow at the woman's smile. "What are ya thinking, babe?" he slowly snaked an arm around her waist, and pushing up the edge of her shirt slightly to rub circles into her skin.

"I dunno." Margo shrugged before closing the space between them and rested her head on his chest and wrapped her arms around his torso, while his other arm curled around her small frame. "I guess I'm just really happy because I have nothing to regret leading up to this point in my life."

"Good," he hummed and rested his chin against the top of her head. "As long as you're happy, I'm happy." he smiled softly before planting a soft kiss to her hairline and resuming his position.

Her mind wandered back to the time when herself and Matthew were sitting around one day and ended up talking about the future ahead of them. Margo and Matthew already decided on how they were going to name their kids since they knew they were eventually going to marry. (They'd name their kids by either Month Color Faye-Gubler or Color Month Faye-Gubler) As the memory left her mind, she hummed in response and dug her head deeper into his chest. Her smile broadening as she caught his familiar scent filling her lungs. Old books, vanilla, lavender. "Can we sway?" she mumbled into his chest, almost incoherently.

"Excuse me?" Matthew looked down at her with a soft chuckle.

"Sway," Margo lifted her head from his chest and looked up at him with her wide smile. "As you know," she started to move side-to-side.

Matthew let out a soft laugh at his girlfriend's movements before nodding and softly tightening his grip around her waist. "Of course we can sway."

"Good," she grinned before pecking his chin and resting her head against his chest once more as they started to sway in sync to whatever tune she started to hum.

The couple swayed with Margo's humming in the background, before slowly deciding to try their hand at slow dancing. Matthew's hand gently took Margo's small one as his other hand rested above her lower back. They did their best to move away or past the brown boxes that took over 75% of the floors in the house, but nevertheless, they had an amazing time doing so. They laughed when one stepped on the other's foot or knocked into a stack of boxes.

Once they made it towards the hallway, Margo stopped moving and gave her boyfriend a look he's seen a handful of times from her. "I love you, Matthew."

Matthew's lips quirked into a lop-sided smile. "And I love you, Margo." he dipped his head to meet her lips and gave her a loving kiss, one that she quickly returned.

She moved her arms around his neck as she smiled against his lips, repeating over and over again those three little words that made both of their hearts flutter. His arms advanced around her waist as his hands moved up and down her back, as he repeated back those three little words he knew she loved to hear.

It was a wonderful thing for Margo Faye and Matthew Gray Gubler to find one another, and even better that they pursued a relationship and then later falling in love. Anyone that knew them was completely and utterly happy for the couple. The most simple of glances thrown across the room, or the slightest of touches, anyone could tell that they were deeply in love with one another.

If there was one thing everyone could agree on for what they wanted from their favorite couple, was to always remain happy and endearing with one another, and with luck towards their upcoming future, it would just be that.
