Brian walked into the living room of his and nick's house. He saw nick sitting on the couch watching TV. He walked over to nick.
"Get up, baby. We gotta go." Brian said pulling nick to his feet.
"What?! I was watching something." Nick whined.
"No, baby. We've got to go." Brian said pulling nick outside and over to his blue BMW.
"Where are we going?" Nick asked, confused.
"You'll see." Brian helped nick into the passenger seat of the car and went around to the side and got into the driver’s seat.
Brian leaned toward nick and kissed him, passionately.
After a long moment, Brian pulled away.
"What was that for?" Nick asked confused.
"Do I have to have a reason to kiss the love of my life?" Brian asked innocently.
"With that look on your face, yeah you do. You're up to something, aren't you?" Nick asked.
Brian shrugged and reached for something behind nick's seat.
"Close your eyes, baby." Brian said softly.
"Why?" Nick asked.
"Because I told you. Eyes closed." Brian said.
Nick crossed his arms over his chest and pouted.
"Oh, please, baby. Don't pout." Brian pleaded.
Nick just continued pouting.
Brian leaned toward nick and started placing soft kisses on his neck.
Nick moaned and moved one of his hands to the back of Brian’s head and ran his fingers through Brian’s soft curls.
"Oh Brian." Nick moaned.
Brian pulled away and pulled out a blindfold.
"What's that for?" Nick asked in confusion.
"It’s for you, baby." Brian said softly and put the blindfold over nick's eyes.
"Hey! I can't see with this damn thing on!" Nick whined.
"That's the whole point, baby." Brian leaned over and placed a quick kiss on nick's lips.
The ride was silent except for the radio playing softly.
During the ride, Brian held nick's hand.
"Bri, are we almost there?" Nick asked.
"Yeah, baby. We are." Brian said softly.
Nick felt the car stop and heard Brian turn the car off.
Brian let go of nick's hand and got out of the car and ran to the passenger side. He opened the door and unbuckled nick's seat belt.
"Okay, baby. I'm going to help you get out of the car." Brian moved nick's legs out of the car.
"Here, baby. I need you to stand up now." Brian said.
Nick stood up.
"Now what?" Nick asked.
"I'm going to need you to trust me with your walking because I am going to help you, okay?" Brian said.
Nick nodded. He could hear water somewhere around him. He felt Brian take his hand and with his other hand holding his arm.
"Baby, I need you to go up a couple of steps." Brian said.
"How many steps?" Nick asked.
"Five. I'll help you, baby." Brian said.
Brian helped nick up the steps.
"Now, baby, I'm going to take off your blindfold, okay?" Brian said.
Brian took the blindfold off of nick.
Nick looked around and gasped.
They were on this big boat. In the middle of the front deck of the boat, there was this small table for 2 that had 2 candles and this vase with 3 white roses.
"Oh, Brian." Nick felt tears fill his eyes.
Suddenly AJ came toward them in a tux.
"You're in for a wonderful and romantic night, Nicky." AJ said smiling. "Follow me."
Brian took nick's hand and they followed AJ over to the table.
Brian pulled out a chair for nick to sit down.
"Thank you, Bri." Nick said softly, sitting down in the chair.
Brian walked around to the other side of the table and sat down himself.
"What's going on, Bri?" Nick asked confused.
"I wanted this to be your night, baby. I want this night to be special." Brian said, softly, taking both of nick's hands in his.
Howie then appeared with 2 drinks in his hands.
"Here's your drink, nick." Howie set the drink in front of nick.
"What is it?" Nick asked Howie.
"A coke. And here's your iced tea, Brian." Howie set down Brian’s drink.
"Your food will be out soon." AJ said before him and Howie walked away from them, below deck.
"This is so amazing, Bri. I can't believe you did all of this." Nick said.
"Well, baby, I needed a little help pulling this together for you." Brian said softly.
Suddenly, Kevin, Howie and AJ appeared, Kevin holding a silver platter with this silver dome on it and set it in front of nick.
Nick looked at Brian confused.
"Open it, Nicky." Brian said with a little bit of nervousness in his voice.
Hick shrugged. He reached his hand up to the handle of the silver dome and pulled it up and handed it to Howie. He looked at the plate.
On the plate was a single white rose. Inside of the petals of the rose was this gold ring with diamonds around it.
Nick gasped. He felt tears fill his eyes.
Brian got up and walked over to where nick was sitting. He took the ring into his hand and got down on one knee in front of nick. He took nick's left hand in both of his. He looked into Nick's bright blue eyes.
"Nick, we have been through a lot in our wonderful relationship. I have loved you ever since I first saw you in 1993 at the Orlando airport. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Nickolas gene carter, will you marry me?" Brian asked.
Nick felt tears fall down his cheeks. He couldn't find his voice so he nodded.
Brian grinned. He slipped the ring on the ring finger on nick's left hand. He stood up and pulled nick up and wrapped his arms around nick's waist.
Nick wrapped his arms around Brian’s neck and held him as he cried.
"I love you, Brian. Yes, I'll marry you. I have always wanted to marry you." Nick said happily.
"I love you too, nick." Brian said before kissing the love of his life.
