Epilogue
One year later.
"Did you lock the car?"
"Uhhh no..."
"Frank,"Gerard sighed and sat his food down before getting up carefully.
"Gerard?"I called.
"What?"
"You need the keys."
"Fuck,"He muttered and trudged back over to the edge of the cliff to grab the keys from me.
"Dork,"I giggled and took a bite of my salad. It was our anniversary. We had argued a lot over the past year, trying to decide when our anniversary should be. We had both settled on celebrating whatever the fuck we wanted. Which meant that every time one of us remembered when something had happened between us like the first time we had said 'I love you' to each other then we would be going out for dinner or to the movies.
"Right,"Gerard sat back down next to me, wrapping the blanket I had forgotten to grab out of the car around us,"To... uh... What are we celebrating?"
"Me realising how stupid I was and taking you back,"I smiled.
"Right. To you no longer being stupid,"Gerard winked at me and raised his cardboard cup of coke. Neither of us had wanted to go to an actual restaurant so we had settled for fastfood up on Suicide Point.
"To us,"I smiled at him and lightly knocked my drink against his. I went to take a sip but Gerard's lips beat the straw.
"I love you,"He mumbled against my lips.
"I love you too,"I smiled into the kiss.
"Let's not get carried away or we'll fall off,"Gerard giggled and ended the kiss.
"Yeah you might. I have perfect balance though,"I said as I took a bite of my disgusting salad.
"Oh really? So if I were to nudge you you'd stay perfectly straight and you wouldn't fall off.
"Damn straight. But, are you willing to risk it?"
"Fuck no,"Gerard giggled.
"We can test each other's balance back home if you want?"
"Yeah and I'll prove to you that I have better balance."
"Mmm hmmm. Keep talking,"I sighed happily and looked down at my engagement ring, glittering even in the faint light. As I stared I was reminded of the first proper date Gerard and I had been on. We'd cooked dinner together for the first time, with lots of bickering and even a food fight at one point, then we'd come up here to eat. Arguing about where to sit, whether we needed a blanket or not. It was horrible up until we actually sat down and were just together, keeping each other warm and feeding each other like a newly wed couple. He'd taken me here to propose as well. Reenacted the date but ending it with a proposal that shocked me to the bone. I had never been happier.
"What are you thinking about?"Gerard asked quietly.
"Our first night here and then you asking me to marry you,"I sighed and rested my head on his shouler.
"Same,"He kissed the top of my head and rested his head on mine as we ate silently.
It had taken a while for us to clear the air between us. Get used to being back around each other. The only immediate effect Gerard's presence had was I had stopped drinking straight away. It had been easy. Gerard was the only one who kept me sane. He was my everything. My only one.
The end motherfuckers.
