Jay Reso sighed, falling into bed and leaning back against his lover's strong chest. "Well, another PPV in the books," he commented dreamily, clutching his title belt close to his chest. "Another Wrestlemania."
"Yeah." His lover sighed contentedly, smoothing Jay's golden locks away from his neck and nibbling gently at the tender skin. "Better for you than me, though. You got to win."
Jay chuckled, turning to face the tall blonde, who was pouting in a way most uncharacteristic of his character. "Come on baby, did you really expect to beat Taker?" he asked softly, raising his hand to brush against Hunter's cheek. "Edge and I had easy competition. You had the dead man."
"Yeah, I guess." Hunter took the title belt from Jay's hands and set it on the nightstand, chuckling at his lover's frown. "Were you planning on sleeping with it all night?" he questioned with amusement.
Jay shrugged and grinned. "I just like having it."
"Well, it would've gotten in the way of this." Hunter snaked his arm around Jay's waist, pulling the golden blonde close to him and giving him a deep passionate kiss.
Jay looked up at his lover with love filled eyes as they drew apart. "I love you," he whispered, his hands gently tracing the muscles of Hunter's shoulders.
"And I love you too," Hunter replied with a gentle smile, pulling Jay into another kiss. He bit his lip when he drew back, glancing at the drawer of the nightstand uncertainly.
Jay chuckled. "Your so shy sometimes, Hunter," he chided gently. He pulled open the drawer, expecting to find lube and a condom. Those object were in the drawer, but what drew his attention was a small velvet box. He pulled it out, staring down at it, then looking up at Hunter with wide eyes. "Hunter, is this - "
"Open it," Hunter squeaked, watching his lover's face carefully to see his reaction.
Jay slowly flipped the lid of the box open, his breath catching in his throat when he saw the ring sparkling inside. Tears pricked his eyes, his mouth falling open slightly. He looked up at Hunter, scarcely able to believe what he was seeing. "Hunter, is this - is this an engagement ring?" he stammered.
"If you want." Hunter took Jay's hand in his, running his fingers affectionately over Jay's skin. "I love you, baby. I want to be with you forever."
"Hunter, I - I don't know what to say," Jay stuttered, tears of joy filling his eyes.
"Hang on, I want to really ask you." Hunter took the box and closed it, then slid off the bed and dropped to his knees on the floor. He took on one Jay's hands in his, gazing up at his lover as he slowly opened the velvet box again. "Jay, baby, I love you," he breathed, his voice filled with emotion. "I fell in love with you a long time ago. It hasn't been easy for me, ‘cos I never thought I was the kinda guy who could fall in love. But I did. Since then, all I've wanted is to buy you flowers, and clothes, and jewelry, and whatever else you want. To get all dressed up and go out on romantic, candle lit dinners. To hold you in my arms all night long, just to feel your body pressed against mine. I love the feel of your head on my chest, your soft words in my ear, and the beautiful sound of you telling me you love me." Tears were slipping down his cheeks as he spoke, but Hunter made no move to brush them away. "Most of all, baby, I want to make you happy. And I swear, I will do everything in my power to make you happy for the rest of our lives. Jay, my darling, my love, will you marry me?" The last words were barely above a whisper, his throat was so choked with emotion.
"Oh, Hunter." Jay pulled the crying blonde up onto the bed, hugging him tightly. "Yes, of course I will. God baby, I love you so much." He drew back, gently kissing the tears from Hunter's cheeks. "You're the sweetest man in the world, you know," he whispered, his smile telling of the complete and utter bliss in his heart. "Will you put it on me?" He held out his hand, watching as Hunter carefully removed the ring from the box and slipped it onto his finger. He stared down at the sparkling ring for a moment, then turned his eyes back to his lover. He opened his mouth to speak, but could not find the words to express what he was feeling. Wrapping his arms around his lover's back, he pulled Hunter into a passionate kiss which told it all. They spoke no more words, communicating with gentle caresses and kisses. Jay sunk onto his back, Hunter's warm body covering him. They continued to kiss and touch, losing themselves completely in their love.
