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.
