[Oh no you don't, boyfriend. You can't get away so easily. Toby returns to his feet so he can take Dorian's hands in his and hold them against his chest while the two of them are pressed together. It's as necessary as the breaths the younger immortal is taking right now.]
When would be a better time than this? When would we know better than now what we'll always want with each other? I've known since long before you were taken from me that you're it for me, Dorian. Every time we come back together, we both say it. And then we always fall more in love with each other as we keep living together and deepening our relationship.
[He squeezes Dorian's hands gently.] I know I'm out of my mind, but it's only because you took it with you when you took my heart. I've gone absolutely mad without you, and I'm only thinking clearly now because you're back.
[It's why he knows this is the right decision. There's no other place for either of them to be, so why should they fight it?]
I don't want to have to wonder again about our relationship. I want to know always, even if shit goes wrong, that we've chosen each other and are in this with each other. [He frowns, expression pleading with his boyfriend to just listen to him for once.] I want a symbol together that proves we're in this 'til the end with each other. Getting married does that, in a way we'll never have to question.
[They'll have all the telltale signs of marriage on them if they do this, rings and his new name and all, and no one will ever question if they should be this way, including themselves.]
