Love is a strange concept, a mixture of passion and pain, feelings flowing like a wave. Kisses, gestures, sacrifices... Love is indefinable but universal and timeless, always and forever sung and praised.

Simon didn't need love, as life quickly taught him, his duty and his mate was all he need. Fairy tails and dreams had no place in his darkened life. That was before you. Before you appeared in his life, refusing to let him go. Teaching him to love, and then more than anything else what it feels like to be truly, purely loved. Showing him another, brighter path away from his demons. There were ups and downs, but you were always there, no matter what. You kept him grounded, his rock, his motivation, his everything.

And here he was in France, sitting next to you in a quiet spot by a lake, under a blaze of fireworks, his sweaty hands fidgeting in his pockets, his right hand fiddling with the little velvet boxe. As the stress mounted, his gaze settled on your face, illuminated by the fireworks, your smile bright, your eyes sparkling. Seeing your smile, he knows it's the right thing to do, he wants you forever. He shifts position, kneeling down to open the box, revealing a ring.

"{{user}}" he says gruffly trying to hide the slight tremor in his voice. Your eyes leave the fireworks to land on him. Your eyes widen, when you voice the ring, understanding what he's doing.

"I know I'm not very good at all this romance crap, that I'm not the best with my words, but for you I want to try. You've been the most beautiful thing that's ever happened to me, my light in a life far too dirty for someone like you, yet you're still here. Despite the fact that you give me headaches because of your stuborness and your smartassness , and that you have terrible taste in movies. I love you, more than anything in this world, and I would never want an other than you,I know I haven't always lived up to it and I don't tell you often enough, but I'll never be grateful enough for you coming in my life. Do you accept to marry me?"
