Etho's Perspective-
Come on, Etho. You got this. You and Joel have been dating for what...five, six years? Joel loves you.
I smiled nervously as I looked at himself in the mirror.
I was just wearing my normal attire, except I took the mask off.
I didn't need it today as Joel going to pick me up for us to go on our sailboat together.
I then saw the black box on my dresser.
I picked it up and opened it.
Inside was a gold ring that I would (hopefully) be proposing to Joel with.
Just then, my mother knocked on the door, causing me to jump.
"Etho, dear, Joel's here!" She said, opening the door.
I quickly shut the box and stuffed it in my pocket, and she smiled softly.
"You can do it." She said, walking over and kissing my forehead.
I mumbled that I couldn't and sighed.
"Yes, you can dear. I know you can. Joel loves you more than you can ever imagine. I know he'd say yes." My mother said encouragingly, hugging me.
I smiled softly and hugged back.
She then patted my back and said,
"Now come on, Joel's waiting."
-
Joel was talking to me about his day as we walked onto the beach.
The sun was setting, and the beach was pretty much empty.
I smiled softly as I told myself to do it.
"Etho?"
I snapped back and saw Joel's concerned face.
"You alright?" Joel asked.
I nodded, "Yep!"
Joel didn't look convinced, and he held my hand as we walked to our sailboat.
"You can tell me when anything's wrong, you know that, right?" He asked and I nodded.
"I know, Joel."
He smiled and kissed my cheek.
"Good. Now come on, help me with the sails."
-
I smiled and leaned on Joel's shoulder as we started to sail at a stable pace.
"I love you." I said softly.
Joel smiled and held my hand, "I love you to."
"Now is there something wrong?" He asked after a second of silence.
"What do you mean?"
"You just...it seems like you've got something on my mind.
Do it.
"Well...yeah there is something that's been bothering me." I said, sitting up.
"What's that?" Joel asked, looking a bit concerned.
I put my hand in my pocket and my grip tightened on the box.
"I...well there's this question I need to ask you."
"You can ask me anything." Joel said, smiling the sweet and soft smile which made me blush.
"I..." I took a deep breath and looked at Joel.
Joel tilted his head to the side as he watched me stand up and get on one knee.
His eyes widened and I blushed.
"Joel, you've made me feel things I never really had felt before. Loved. Happiness. And most of all, a feeling that I wasn't lost anymore. I don't know what I would do with myself if you ever left me, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you."
I took a deep breath and took out the box, opening it.
"Will you, Joel Beans, marry me?"
Joel smiled as he leaned in and pulled me into a kiss.
I smiled and kissed back.
"Of course, I would marry you." Joel said as we broke apart.
I smiled and watched as Joel took the box.
I thought he was going to wear it, but he instead closed the box and placed it down next to him.
He then smirked as he pushed me into the water.
I gasped as I got soaked.
"JOEL!" I shouted and watched as Joel laughed.
I swam over to him and shot him a look.
Joel smiled and pulled me up.
"I love youuuu." He said, lightly bumping into me and I rolled my eyes.
"Yeah, whatever, dork." I said as I kissed his forehead.
Joel smiled and held my hand.
I love you.
