John: after argentina, pre-cher. embarrassed and in love. we spent twenty-four hours in bed together and i forgot there was an entire world that existed beyond your bedroom door. i had been stuck on the other side of it for so long but that night you invited me into your space and i haven't left since. i didn't know where we were headed or if it would ever be a possibility but i knew you were all i wanted. for a long time i was okay with just the thought of it. i love you, nick. i can't believe the funniest person i have ever seen is also my husband. you make everything better. you make me better. with you, there's less things i don't like. about myself, about the world, about frasier, about everything. i'm so lucky i get to love you. i'm so lucky you love me too.

Nick: i can't believe you wrote that. i can't believe you knew back then. i can't believe you wanted to marry me before i ever knew it was what i wanted. i remember that day, i remember falling asleep on top of you over and over because i thought if i let you move you'd leave. i remember part of me, wait for it, almost regretting cher because all i wanted was to lay in bed touching you more. i was embarrassed and scared and you made me so nervous (not your fault, i just didn't want to fuck anything up) but i had known for a while that i was in love with you and it was almost enough. thank you for... everything, all of it. you've given me more than you could ever know and now i get to make you my husband. i hope that's a fair trade. my life is better with you in it, i'm better with you in my life. best version of anything, yeah? you make me crazy in the good way, you make my heart do insane stuff, you make me feel okay about spending an entire weekend in bed watching frasier. you're the very best thing i have and we're going to get married this morning. john. i love you.

Nick: i'm so serious. these are my confessions, like usher but minus the herp

John: i can't find the words just yet, so:

I suppose most of us are lonely in this big world, but we must fall tremendously in love to find it out. The cure is the discovery of our need for company - I mean company in the very special sense we've come to understand since we happened to each other - you and I. The pleasures of human experience are emptied away without that companionship - now that I've known it; without it joy is just an unendurable as sorrow. You are my life - my very life. Never imagine your hope approximates what you are to me. I love you, that's all there is to it.

Nick: i don't know what to say yet either. i read this a few days ago:

A few days later Freddie and I were together on the sofa in the lounge watching an old thirties' black-and-white movie. The heroine asked her partner: 'Will we spend the rest of our lives together?' Freddie looked at me and asked the same thing. 'Of course we will,' I answered. 'Don't be silly.'

Nick: jesus i'll keep it curly forever if you really like it so much.

John: so do we think this apartment is haunted? i'm trying out dirty talk.

Nick: can you try a little harder.

John: nick, ask me to live with you. i'll say yes

Nick: john please come live with me

Nick: do you want to know the first time i thought it? it was a really dumb, really small moment, we weren't even close to dating yet. it was right before i left for buenos aires and you told me you'd signed up for that fucking argentinian newsletter. you have no idea what that did to me. i wanted to die, you couldn't give me a single break and you didn't even really know you were doing it. i remember thinking "fuck, i'm in love with him" and it didn't even feel like a real feeling yet but i didn't stop thinking about it for a while

John: i can't believe me volunteering to spam my own inbox so i could efficiently stalk you is the moment you realized you were in love with me. why.

John: you know i'm like, in love with you, right

Nick: fuck. for real?
