SHUT UP OMG - Tumblr Posts

thinking about how minghao would propose.

minghao was just like you in the sense that you both found joy in the simple things in life. you're both happy with just sitting at home watching silly little tv shows or movies, sharing about your day over dinner, going grocery shopping together every friday night and having your tea ceremony every sunday morning. fancy date nights were reserved for special occasions like birthdays or anniversaries.

"makes every fancy date night we have feels more significant," he'd told you.

that's why he knew you wouldn't suspect anything. it was a regular sunday morning and you were both preparing for your weekly tea ceremony. minghao was setting up his little table when you heard him calling out for you so you poked your head out of the kitchen to ask what he needed.

"could you go get the tea set from the cabinet in our room?" he said as he adjusted a cushion that he'd placed on the floor.

"the one you said you were saving for a special occasion?"

he nodded wordlessly at your question and it made the curiosity inside you grow.

"what's the special occasion?" you probed and minghao shrugged and mumbled a quick "just felt like using it today" and you decided not to ask further.

you pulled open the cabinet door and stood on your tiptoes to try and reach the highest part of the shelf but the box was too deep inside so you decided to use the stool from your dressing table as a step ladder.

the moment you pulled the box out from the shelf, a small box wrapped in a silver wrapping paper that was hidden behind it caught your eye. you didn't recognise it at all so it definitely didn't belong to you. was it minghao's? you brought it out of the room with you and minghao tried his best to hold back his smile once he noticed it sitting on top of his tea set.

"is this yours?" you asked as you set everything down on the table before you. "i found it in the corner of the cabinet."

"it's yours." he answered nonchalantly.

"mine?" you reached for the gift, unwrapping it to see what was inside. "but my birthday isn't until feb—" your mouth dropped open and you let out a gasp once the navy blue, velvet box was revealed.

minghao stood up and made his way over to you and you barely registered him taking the box out of your hand or sitting down next to you.

"y/n," his voice pulled you back to reality, turning to him with a hand over your mouth, still in shock. "earlier you asked me what the special occasion was and now you're probably thinking this is the special occasion but it actually isn't."

he moved closer to you so your knees were now touching and grabbed the hand that was resting on the table. "being with you is the special occasion, you make all the mundane things in life feel special. i never thought sitting at home eating a simple home cooked meal with the tv playing in the background could make me feel so happy and content, but then i realized it wasn't what i'm doing but rather who i'm doing it with."

you felt a warmness spread across your entire body at his words and the tears that were pooling below your eyes now rolled down your cheeks. minghao grazed his thumb against the back of your hand, "y/n, will you make all the days for the rest of my life special? i promise i'll do my best—"

before minghao could even finish his question, you were already nodding in response. he quickly placed the box on the table to remove the ring from it to slide it onto your finger before pulling you into his embrace. after what felt like forever, he leaned back to look at you with the softest smile on his face, cupping your cheeks to wipe the tears away with his thumbs.

you lifted your hand up in an attempt to admire your new ring and a chuckle escaped you causing minghao to shoot you a questioning look.

"i wanted to look at the ring but i couldn't because my vision is still blurry from all the tears," you explained and minghao let out a small laugh and gave your hand a gentle squeeze.

"you'll love it. i got the inspiration for the design from your pinterest board."

you looked at him with wide eyes, "how long have you been preparing for this? i had no idea you were even looking at that."

"since after the first month of us moving in together."

tears started welling up in your eyes again as minghao stood up and went back to his side of the table and started pouring hot water into the teapot.

"tea?"
