MCYT(Mostly Hermitcraft)Oneshot Boo... - Chapter 21: Chapter 21

It was Valentine's Day, and Tango was heartbroken. He got stood up by his date and is now currently lying in bed, staring at the ceiling. He sent a message to his best friend Impulse, but he doubts that he will show up. Tango is proved wrong when he hears a knock on his front door and the call of his name.
He gets up and walks downstairs to the front door and opens it. He see's Impulse standing there.
"Hey buddy." Impulse says. "You messaged?"
"Yeah, I did." Tango replies. "Come in." Impulse follows him inside and closes the door behind them. Tango motions for him to take a seat in one the couch in the living room.
"Are you ok? Aren't you supposed to be on your date?" Impulse asks.
"They stood me up, Impulse.." Tango mutters. He sits down next to his best friend on the couch and leans into him. Impulse hugs him.
"Hey. What if I took you somewhere to cheer you up? Would that make you feel better?" Impulse asks.
"That'd be nice…" Tango responds. Impulse nods and looks at him.
"Let's go then." Impulse says. They walk out of Tango’s home and head to Impulse’s car, which is parked outside. “Hop in.” Tango does as told.
They drive for a while without speaking until they reach Tango's favorite coffee shop. They sit across from each other.
"I know you love this place- so I hope it's fine were here." Impulse grins nervously. Tango chuckles. "Impulse. Why wouldn't it be fine that we are here? As you said, I love this place." Tango grins softly. "Thanks, Impulse." Tango reaches across the table to squeeze Impulse's hand affectionately. Impulse gives him an affectionate smile back.
The two enjoy their coffees quietly before talking about anything and everything. Tango eventually takes Impulse’s hand again in his own and squeezes it slightly, a sign of appreciation. Impulse makes eye contact with Tango and smiles, squeezing Tango’s hand back. Tango feels his cheeks heat up. He doesn't realize how much he likes to have Impulse’s hand in his until now, and it’s making him happy to hold it. The two stare into each other's eyes for a good 2 minutes. Until they were interrupted by the waiter giving them their check. Tango thanks the waiter and turns back to Impulse. Impulse grins.
"I'm paying!" He calls.
"Oh no, you are not!" Tango debates.
"Yes, I am!" Impulse insists. "Don't try to stop me. I'll pay."
The two look at each other, and both start laughing. Their faces get redder as time goes on, and Tango can barely even look Impulse in the face. Impulse has his signature breathtaking grin. Tango is mesmerized. Tango notices that Impulse stopped laughing. Tango decides to break the silence. "Ok, fine!" Impulse cheers and pays for the both of them, leaving a generous tip for the server.
Impulse leads Tango across the street to the mall. "Let's go to the arcade near the food court!" Impulse grins as he drags Tango to the arcade. He holds the door open for Tango, who gladly steps inside.
"What do you want to play first?" Impulse asks.
"Whatever." Tango shrugs.
"What games are there? I wanna do a claw machine!" Impulse exclaims. Tango shakes his head fondly at him. "Sure." Tango agrees, and the two walk over to the claw machine. Impulse places a dollar in the machine. He pulls the lever to start. Impulse slowly lines up the claw with a stuffed animal. The claw grabs it and drops into the prize box. He smirks as he hands Tango his prize. A stuffed elephant plushie. Tango looks up at Impulse with a small grin.
"Thank you, Impulse." Tango grins widely at Impulse. Impulse just grins back at him. Tango wraps Impulse in a tight hug. Impulse laughs softly. He gently ruffles Tango's hair, causing Tango's face to warm up considerably. Impulse, let's go of Tango and backs up.
"Let's go play more games!" Impulse beams as he drags Tango deeper into the arcade.
"Let's get our ears pierced!" Impulse grins and Tango almost chokes on air.
"What??" Tango asks as he raises an eyebrow.
Impulse grabs Tango's hands in his and grins. "We can get matching earrings!" Impulse grins wider. "Oh, pleeaaaseee Tango!!" Impulse looks at Tango with puppy eyes. Tango knows he's hopeless when he sees that expression.
"Alright… Alright…" Tango sighs in defeat.
Impulse giggles in excitement and pulls Tango into a tight hug. Tango feels his cheeks flush slightly. Impulse lets go of him, and they head over to the earrings shop.
As they start looking at matching earings, Tango unnoticingly grabs Impulse's hand and holds his hand. They only notice when a lady walks over.
"What a lovely nice couple you are!" The older lady says with a smile.
Impulse and Tango look at her, realize they are holding hands, let go of each other's hand, and both become stuttering messes.
"O-Oh, we well- heh- we aren't dating!" Impulse stammers and Tango nods.
"Y-Yup! Just dudes h-holding hands!" Tango laughs awkwardly.
The lady laughs and walks off, leaving the two boys blushing madly.
"Um..." Tango trails off, still flustered from earlier. "Uh... sorry about holding your hand..."
"O-Oh, it's fine!" Impulse responds, equally embarrassed. He clears his throat and continues browsing through the different earrings. Tango tries to act casual, but internally, he's panicking. He is suddenly pulled out of his panic when Impulse tugs on his arm.
"Look at these!" Impulse holds out earings that are shaped as hearts, one is yellow, and one is red. "They are our colors!" Impulse grina happily. Tango blushes.
"They are." is all Tango can get out before Impulse pulls him over to the person who pierces their ears.
Once they get their ears pierced, the person puts the earings in for them.
"They look so good on you, Tango!" Impulse cups Tango's face as he studies the red and yellow hearts.
"Really?" Tango replies with a blush, trying to hide the fact that Impulse's praise made him melt. Tango smiles shyly.
"Of course!" Impulse grins. The two exit the store and start walking around a little.
"Impy, I'm hungry." Tango complains as he grabs Impulse's shirt and tugs on it.
Impulse laughs and turns to Tango.
"Want to go to McDonald's? It's right there." Impulse points.
"Yeah, sure." Tango replies and starts dragging Impulse towards the place. The two enter McDonald's. Once they're seated, Tango orders himself some fries and chicken nuggets and drinks. Impulse orders a chicken sandwich, fries, and chocolate shake. He sets his drink down and watches Tango eat his chicken.
"What?" Tango asks curiously after swallowing.
"Nothing.. Just.. You're so cute." Impulse grins as he eats a fry. Tango's face goes bright red. "I'm not cute.." Tango covers his face with his hand.
"You are too." Impulse argues.
"No, i'm not!" Tango protests. Impulse laughs.
"Tango, please. I swear to god you are so easy to tease. Especially since you're such a dork." Impulse teases, wiggling his eyebrows at Tango. Tango rolls his eyes, but his smile remains on his face. "You're a dork, too!" Tango mentions with a grin.
"Oh, I know." Impulse grins back.
After they finish their meals, the two leave and go back to Impulse's car. The two were laughing over some stupid joke Tango said. They are sitting in the car and telling stupid jokes. Soon, for some reason, Impulse is cupping Tango's face with one hand. He traces circles onto Tango's cheek.
Tango's eyes widen slightly, and he stares deeply into Impulse's dark eyes. Tango leans in, almost kissing Impulse when a car horn goes off and startles both of them. They both practically jump out of their seats. The silence between them last for a good 5 minutes until they both start laughing.
Impulse drives Tango back home and walks him to his door.
"Impulse?" Tango whispers as he opens the door and turns to face Impulse.
"Yes?" Impulse raises an eyebrow.
"I think...I've realized something," Tango blushes.
"And what's that?" Impulse asks.
"I think....I am happier with you..then I would have ever been with...my date today." Tango steps backward slightly, backing into the door frame.
"I was hoping you'd say that." Impulse chuckles. "I like being the reason you smile," Impulse says with a warm smile as he steps forward, closer to Tango. Their noses brush against each others and a shiver runs down Tango's spine. Impulse closes the gap and kisses him, Tango eagerly accepts the kiss and returns it. Tango slides his arms around Impulse's shoulders, pulling him impossibly closer to him. After they part, they stare into eachothers eyes. Tango doesn't want to let go, but he knows he needs to go into his house to get ready for bed. So Tango reluctantly releases Impulse, making a pout on his face.
"Well, good night, Tango." Impulse whispers.
"No! I-I mean uh..don't go yet.." Tango mutters as he looks up at Impulse. "Stay for a little longer? Watch a movie with me?" Tango asks hopefully.
"Alright." Impulse agrees easily as he leans in and pecks Tango's lips again. "I'll stay with you for a bit longer."
Tango's face goes red, and he gets all giggling as he pulls Impulse to the couch.
Tango flops down next to Impulse. Impulse sits beside him and presses close to Tango, wrapping an arm around his waist. Tango rests his head on Impulse's shoulder. Impulse strokes Tango's hair.
Tango grabs the remote and puts on a movie. He turns to press close to Impulse, cuddling Impulse even more. Impulse smiles softly and snuggles Tango even closer. The rest of the night went by quietly, neither speaking or moving apart from Tango snuggling closer and Impulse playing with his hair. Impulse falls asleep first. Tango follows soon after.
They both fell fast asleep in each other's embrace.
When Tango wakes up, he realizes Impulse isn't there anymore. He sits up and looks around. Suddenly, he smells something good from the kitchen. He gets up and walks to the kitchen. His face goes bright red when he sees Impulse cooking pancakes while wearing Tango's 'Kiss the Chef' apron. Tango sneaks up behind Impulse as quietly as he can and wraps his arms around Impulse from behind.
"Good morning to you too, Tango." Impulse turns around to hug Tango.
"Morning. Um.." Tango is cut off mid sentence as Impulse gives him a quick peck on the lips.
Tango's head starts spinning as he blushes and lays his face on Impulse's chest. He closes his eyes and listens to Impulse's heartbeat. Eventually, Tango feels Impulse's arms wrap around him. He hugs back tightly, nuzzling into Impulse's neck. He takes a deep breath before slowly pushing away from the hug. He looks at Impulse, admiring how beautiful he is.
"I hope-" Tango giggles. "-that when we are further into this relationship, we can wake up like this every morning.. I mean if our relationship lasts.." Tango whispers the last part, but Impulse heard it.
"Our relationship will last Tango. I promise. And..is this you asking me to be your official boyfriend?" Impulse raises an eyebrow.
Tango bites his lip nervously as he blushes.
"It's just " Tango sighs. "You're my best friend and it wouldn't be right if someone else got to see you everyday and took all of your time..and you wouldn't be able to see me as much an-" Tango gets cut off as Impulse grips his chin and kisses him.
The kiss is short-lived but intense. Tango melts into Impulse's touch as he places both hands on Impulse's hips. They pull away for air, resting their foreheads together. Tango has a content expression on his face as he stares at Impulse.
"You worry too much." Impulse whispers. "I'll ask you then." Impulse turns off the stove for a minute and grabs something that was behind the counter. He wraps his arm around Tango's waist and holds out a bouquet of flowers. "Tango, will you be my boyfriend?" Impulse whispers.
"Of course, Impulse." Tango replies instantly, and he gently plants a small kiss on Impulse's cheek.
5 years have gone by, and Tango is the happiest man alive. He is currently cuddling with his sleeping boyfriend in their bed. They bought a house together 2 years ago and Tango hasn't been happier. He slowly slides out of bed and heads to the kitchen. He slips on his apron and starts making waffles. It is Impulse's birthday today, so he is going to treat Impulse this time.
Tango loves doing things that makes Impulse happy. Like baking or getting breakfast for him in the mornings. Tango finishes making waffle and places them on a plate with some strawberries on top, along with syrup, butter, and sprinkles. He adds three slices of bacon to the plate and grabs a cup of chocolate milk. He walks back to their bedroom with the food to find Impulse still asleep. He smiles and places down the food on the table in the corner. He pulls the table over to the bed and sits on the edge of the bed.
"Impy~" Tango giggles as he shakes Impulse softly.
"Mghhfffmm.." Impulse grumbles into his pillow.
"Was that a 'I'm getting up, Mghhfffmm.." or a 'Leave me alon. I don't want to get up Mghhfffmm..'? Tango grins when he hears Impulse laugh softly. Impulse rolls over to see Tang, and he grins happily.
"Happy Birthday to ya, big guy" Tango beams and kisses Impulse.
"Thank you." Impulse smiles. "Come here. You look cute." Impulse opens his arms.
"Hmmm..well if you insist.." Tango says as he gets up and crawls over to Impulse and lays on him. Impulse wraps his arms around Tango. "I made you waffles," Tango whispers.
"You are my waffle," Impulse grins cheekily. Tango chuckles.
"My waffle." Impulse giggles. Tango smiles brightly and kisses Impulse's nose. Impulse laughs and sits up, holding Tango on his lap. Tango snuggles into Impulse's chest and looks up at Impulse. "I love you so much," Tango whispers against Impulse's collarbone.
"I love you too," Impulse kisses Tango's forehead. Tango giggles softly and buries his face deeper in Impulse's neck. Impulse rubs Tango's back soothingly until Tango relaxes completely. When he finally relaxes enough, Impulse lifts Tango up and places him on the bed. Impulse pulls the table closer and puts a strawberry on his fork, and holds it up to Tango's lips. "Say ahh Tango!" Impulse giggles and Tango's face goes red. "I am not a child -" Tango crosses his arms.
"Here comes the airplane!" Impulse giggles and moves the fork around. Tango scoffs but eats the strawberry anyway. Impulse grins smugly.
When they finish eating and getting ready for the day, Tango tells Impulse he has a surprise for him for his birthday.
"Come with me," Tango whispers as he pulls Impulse out of the house.
"Where are we going?" Impulse inquires, smiling curiously.
"Away from everyone!" Tango grins. He drags Impulse to the park where they first met. It hasn't been used for years but it is still in nice condition.
"Oh Tango.." Impulse smiles. Impulse looks at Tango.
"Before you give me my gift.. I have something to give you." Impulse says as he grabs Tango's hand.
He leads Tango to a bench, and they sit down.
Impulse takes a deep breath and hands something to Tango.
It's a small box. Tango opens it and sees a ring with two hearts, a yellow one and a red one.
"Oh Impulse it's beautiful, but it's your birthday. Tango turns his head. "You should my have to give me a g-" Tango cuts himself off when he sees Impulse on one knee, he has an adoring smile on his face.
"Tango. You are my gift. The best thing that has ever happened to me in my life. I would be lost without you. So...Mr. Tango Tek, would you marry me?" Impulse says as he grabs Tango's hand and kisses it.
"You..." Tango laughs. "You beat me to it, I guess." Tango grins as he pulls out a box from his pocket and opens it, showing two red and yellow crystals interwtined together as a ring. Impulse's face goes red.
"I would love to marry you, Impulse.. I have wanted to for years now." Tango smiles softly as he tilts Impulse's chin up and leans down to kiss him. Impulse cups his cheeks as they break apart to catch their breath.
"Wow. That was -" Impulse clears his throat. "That was really romantic." He chuckles nervously as his heart continues beating faster than ever.
"Well.. I think I did a pretty good job." Tango smirks as Impulse playfully. Impulse stands up and sits next to Tango.
"Where did you find a ring like that?" Impulse asks as he grabs the ring carefully.
"I made it." Tango replies.
"You made this?! For...me?" Impulse looks at Tango as he smiles.
"Now I feel lazy-" Impulse laughs softly.
"No! Don't feel lazy! It matches our earrings!" Tango grins. "And I love it!!" Tango hugs Impulse. "My fiancé~" Tango giggles.
Impulse hums happily.
