Glee One Shot

Graduation had been the happiest and most terrifying moment of your life. You couldn't believe that you had finally gotten through high school, one of the biggest challenges you'd even had to go through. It was beyond exciting to think that your future waited for you, you were going to college on the other side of the country and hopefully make something of yourself. It was a daunting prospect, but you couldn't wait for what the future held. However, you were terrified of what you were leaving behind. You didn't care about Lima and you would always stay in contact with your family, but you were scared that without the consistency of high school, you wouldn't ever see your friends again. A lot of them were staying in Lima but many were off to face similar adventures to you. Not only your friends worried you but your boyfriend.

The two of you had been together for most of high school but you were heading to different' colleges. He was heading to Joffrey Ballet Academy of Dance in Chicago whilst you were off to the University of Washington. It was over 2000 miles apart and you doubted you'd be able to visit each other often. All you knew was you were going to make the most of the time the two of you had together before summer ended and you were both off to next step of your futures.

Mike had arranged for the two of you to go to a fancy restaurant that was just outside of Lima and you had wanted to go to for a while. The two of you had dressed up in your best clothing and headed there for dinner. Once you arrived, you were escorted to a private table on a balcony leaving the two of you alone. The two of you made your way through the meal, talking and having a good time until your desserts had been cleared from your plates.

He cleared his voice to get your attention.

"Yes?" You smiled, placing your spoon down on the plate.

"I need to ask you something," he said softly. "Something important."

Your expression dropped. Mike was generally confident, especially if it were only the two of you; it unnerved you that he seemed nervous over whatever was on his mind.

"You know that you can ask me anything," you smiled warmly, trying to hide how unsettled you were.

He let out a gentle sigh as he stood from his seat at the table, walking to the side so that he could hold your hand.

"I love you Y/N, and I have done for the longest time. I know we're young and we have the future at our fingertips, but I am certain that what I am about to say is what I want. We are about to go across the country to different cities and I don't know when we're going to be able to see each other again, but I know we can survive the distance however I don't want to be apart for so long without saying this. Not because of trust or loyalty but because I don't want to wait any longer without asking you this," he smiled warmly at you, getting down onto one knee, holding out a ring box to you. "I love you Y/N, will you marry me?"

You couldn't help the cheesy grin that curled onto your face.

"Of course, I want to marry you, you idiot," you grinned, leaning down to press your lips to his.

"Thank God, I thought you'd say no."
