his thumb rubbed over the velvet box in his pocket nervously. sweat rolled down the sides of his face, despite the chilled crisp in the air. lysander didn't know who he was trying to manipulate into thinking he was worthy of asking such a heavy question to another. himself or his girlfriend. he knew deep down he didn't deserve a single piece of her joyful embrace or benevolent heart, yet he couldn't help himself. he was too selfish to set her free. fluorescent streetlights flickered above him while he drove down the abandoned road. they twinkled above him like synthetic stars in bonafide darkness. lighting his way to the oblivion.

lysander pulled into their driveway, before taking hesitant steps out of the vehicle and into the snow. ivory glistened in the night. he took a deep breath, a puff of whispy air twirled through the breeze, as he attempted to calm his frantic nerves. "you can do this," he said to himself, "it's time for the big step, everyone's saying it. you and her have been together for 3 years now." he chewed on his lip nervously, now standing directly in front of the door to the house. he pulled out his keys and walked inside. "xavia?"

"i'm in the living room!" her melodic voice drifted over dense air. lysander made his way there, purposefully leaving his jacket on. when he entered she looked up at him with those majestic, topaz opticals. reminding him of a beach on a sunny summer day.

the plush leather couch sank in when he sat beside her. xavia immediatley curled up into his arms, wrapping her own around his waiste. "you look tired babe, another bad day at work?"

he shook his head. "no-ahh-actually it was pretty good. there was a lot of traffic on the way back though." lysander continued to swipe his thumb over the velvet box while kissing her forhead. wondering, how did he ever get the most intelligent and beautiful woman he had ever met? "its times like this where i...i think i'll never be enough for you."

"what?" her brows furrowed as she turned to look up at him. those shiny raven locks curled perfectly around her porcelian complexion. "how could you ever say something like that? y-" she paused when her voice cracked from pain and tears brimmed her eyes, "-you're the entire world to me. i need you, lysander."

he never knew how big of a weight would be heaved off his shoulders when he heard those words. to know she felt the same way as him, to hear it from those lips and in that lovley-toned voice. his clouded optics cleared from all the doubt and anxieties that had formed. "i never knew you needed me. i thought...i felt like a burden to you, as if i didn't deserve to have your love. but now i can see how it truly is. xavia-"

"-will you marry me?"
