the boys were in hawaii.

it took two years of saving up for, but they made it.

they did it.

they were married, they were in-love, they were in paradise.

the boys headed down to the beach, standing where the water met the sand as the held hands and faced one another as the sun went down.

"who should go first?" tyler asked.

"i will, if that's ok."

tyler smiled widely and nodded.

"tyler, i honestly don't know where to begin. i am infatuated with you. obsessed with you, really. everything i do alone, i sit there and think 'this would be so much better if tyler was here,' that way i could hold your hand and hug and kiss you. you make me so happy, tyler. i wasn't a happy person before you, baby, and you know that. i would never smile or laugh or really even go out. tyler, i never told you this, but i was on my way to the bridge downtown when i crashed into you. you saved my life, tyler joseph. and i can't believe how lucky i am to be able to wake up next to you every day and call you mine. i promise you i'm never going to stop being madly in love with you, tyler. and i'm never going to stop trying to make you believe how lovely you truly are. and i promise you i'll always be yours and only yours, for you to kiss and hug and hold hands with and just love on, because you know how much i love when you do that. i promise you i'm always going to cuddle with you and hold your hand under the table at dinner and kiss you before we go into the grocery store and just... everything, tyler. i promise to do everything i can to provide you with what you deserve. which is everything, being honest, but sadly, i can't give you everything, but i can give you me, and i truly do hope that's enough for you."

tyler smiled widely and sniffled, having been crying the entire time. he looked down at their conjoined hands and smiled, looking back up into josh's eyes.

"joshua william, i never thought i would get married, let alone to the most amazing boy in the world, but here i am. i never thought love was for me until you came around, josh, and you proved me wrong. love is for me, and i couldn't be happier about it. i'm just... i'm so in love with you, joshua. sometimes i wonder if i'm too in love with you, but i don't think that's possible. i can't wait to cook you dinner and make love with you and become a dad with you, josh. it's all just so surreal, and i honestly still can't believe you're all mine. out of 7 billion people, you're the one for me, joshua. the only one for me, at that. and i'm never going to let you go. literally. the next time you have to go on a trip for work, i'm coming. i didn't even think i would make it past 18. actually, i wasn't planning on making it past 18, but you came around and saved me, joshua william. here i am, 22 and married to the boy i fell in love with six years ago, and i can't say thank you enough for everything he's done for me. he's made me a better person, he's made me joyful, he's made me stay alive, he's given me a purpose. and i love him more than anything, joshua. i love you more than anything."

both boys were crying messes, dropping their hands and hugging each other tightly.

"i love you, tyler robert jospeh-dun."

"i love you more, joshua william joseph-dun."

"that, my love, is impossible."
