PRIVATE

jensen
so, we've been together for a moderate amount of time

marissa
beautiful, never start out a conversation like that pls and thanks

jensen
okay, well, we've been dating for a little bit

marissa
are you practicing the speech you're going to use to propose to me?

jensen
um... no?
I wasn't aware that five-ish months was when you're supposed to propose

marissa
my ex-girlfriend proposed at three

jensen
huh
so not what I wanted to talk about

marissa
I had to turn her down, didn't feel right

jensen
well, I'm glad
anyway, not what this whole conversation was about, mari

marissa
oh, right, you were being a total dork

jensen
you know, you're a lot like jared??

marissa
I'm pretty sure that's a compliment
if it's not, I'm telling jared

jensen
you're unbelievable

marissa
unbelievably amazing

jensen
you know, there is a point to this

marissa
really, because I dont see one?

jensen
move in with me?

marissa
what?

jensen
it occurred to me that the week after you left in january, sure, spending time with jj and icarus and oscar was great
but it's not the same without you
and I know this is a conversation we should not be having through text but you worked your way into my life with the memes and the stupid humor and your smile and your laugh and now that I've gotten a taste for you I don't think I can stop.
so, please, mari, honey, move in with me

marissa

jensen
I don't know why I expected differently
I'll take that as a yes

marissa

jensen
I love you, mari

marissa

NOTE: jensen broke marissa (next chapter is the epilogue!!)
