My Book of Fics

Love Of My Life - Mason Mount

As soon as the door to your flat swings shut behind you the energy you have left disappears and you drop your bag. The keys you're holding feel too heavy so you drop them into the small dish on the side table. You kick off your shoes then start to unbutton the dress shirt you're wearing as you walk toward the bedroom. The busy day at work has caught up to you so all you can think about is sleep and getting out of the restricting and stiff clothes on your body. A happy sigh escapes your lips once you're in your favourite sweat set. You flop belly first onto the bed and extend your limbs into a starfish shape.

The minute you start to melt into the sheets there's a knock on your flat door. "No" you whisper and attempt to ignore whoever it is, the key word being attempt. The person at the door is persistent in their knocking and continues every couple of minutes. You flip over onto your back then groan when there's another knock. After sulking for a few seconds you sit up and get off the bed, shuffling out of the room and to the front door of the flat.

"SURPRISE!" Is the shout that greets you when you open the door. It takes you a second to process the footballer standing in front of you. When it clicks you throw yourself into his arms and bury your face into his shoulder. "I missed you Mase" you mumble into him, "missed you too baby" he replies. After a couple of seconds you step out of his arms but he pulls you back in to press a soft kiss to your lips. "How's work?" you sigh loudly, "busy, tiring and a bit of everything" Mason brings his arms around you once more, "so I showed up at just the right time?" you smile, nod then bring your hand to his arm to pull him out of the hallway and into the flat.

Later when you two are cuddled together on the couch you notice that Mason is fidgeting more than usual. At the start of the movie you're currently watching all the work issues went away but now that your boyfriend seems to be acting odd you become worried. You figure it's something in the movie so you let it go. After a couple of minutes of the same fidgeting you pull out of Mason's arms to pause the screen. "What's wrong Y/N?" you turn to him with wide eyes, "I think I should be asking you that" he sits up so you place your hands over his, "don't say nothing because you've been fidgeting for the past half hour".

He shifts his hands to be able to interlace his fingers with yours. "I've been thinking about doing something for awhile now" he begins so you squeeze his hands to encourage him to keep talking. "The week away made me feel even more certain about it" he adds then smiles. Your brows furrow as you wonder what he's talking about but he brings up his hand to smooth out the lines on your forehead. "It's nothing bad, there's no need to worry" you shrug, "can't help it you know how I am" he nods then brings up your hand to kiss it. The simple gesture makes you warm and fuzzy inside, like with the many other things Mason does to show his love. "I have a question baby" you nod and still have no clue where Mason is heading with his cryptic statements.

Mason shifts your body so that you're fully on his lap before saying anything. You place your free hand at the base of his neck and smile. "We've been together for awhile now and I can't imagine doing all of this with anyone else" he starts and moves his fingers along your back. That's when you start to clue in to what he's doing.

The footballer moves a little under you then pulls out a small box. You gasp then put your hands over your mouth. He smiles at your reaction then pops it open to reveal a beautiful ring. "You're the love of my life Y/N so I was wondering if you would want to continue doing life together and marry me?". There's no hesitation before you wrap your arms around him. "Yes, of course I'll marry you Mase" he tucks his nose into your shoulder and kisses the skin there a few times before he lifts his head. You do the same so he presses his lips to yours for a couple of seconds. "I really don't want to drop the ring" he mumbles so you laugh then lean back slightly so that he can slide the ring of your dreams onto your finger. Your eyes well up as you admire the way it shines even in the low lighting of the flat. You sniffle then look at Mason, "you're the love of my life too you know" he smiles then presses a few light kisses to your lips which makes you giggle. "I know baby and now you're stuck with me" you bring your hand up to stroke his scruffy cheek, "I couldn't be happier about it" he hums then you shuffle closer on his lap to lower your head onto his shoulder. The two of you sit there in silence for a few moments then resume watching the movie you started, not really paying attention anymore as you share kisses that eventually lead to finding the bedroom to celebrate the new engagement.
