Antonio opened a small, velvet box for the umpteenth time that day and gazed intently at what it contained.

A perfectly round, gold ring sat inside, glinting in the sunlight, making him think of who he'd bought it for; his dear boyfriend, Arthur. He was sure he wanted to spend the rest of his life with the adorable Brit, but the problem was popping the question…And the worry that Arthur's extremely overprotective brother Alfred wouldn't bless their marriage…

"Hey!"

Antonio hurriedly stashed away the ring. "Oh, hey Feli. Did you need something?"

The goofy Italian smiled and sat down next to the Spaniard. "I saw that ring you were holding just now. Is it for Arthur?" he questioned happily.

"Yes," Antonio replied casually.

Feliciano tackle-hugged him and excitedly cried out, "You're finally going to marry him! Oh, I knew you had to at some point!"

"Calm down, Feli, I haven't even asked him yet," Antonio admitted, prying him off.

"Oh…OK," Feliciano began, "So when are you going to propose?"

"That's something I still need to figure out," Antonio sighed. "I have no idea when or how I should do it…I just want to make this proposal perfect, y'know?"

"Bonjour!" a familiar, flamboyant Frenchman called out to the two of them as he made his way over.

Feliciano turned to face him. "Hey, Francis! Maybe you can help Antonio out!"

Francis nudged Feliciano and Antonio apart and sat down in between his friends. "Help Antonio with what?" he enquired, smirking.

"I'm not sure how…I should ask Arthur to marry me," Antonio said quietly.

Francis' eyes lit up. "Ooh, well it's about time! I'm sure I could arrange something super romantic for you two!" he chimed.

"Really? You'd do that for me?" Antonio asked, lighting up.

"Of course! I've been wanting to see you and Arthur get married for ages!" Francis began, "Tell Arthur to come to yours at six, and I'll have arranged the most romantic night of your lives!"

"You mean we'll have arranged the most romantic night of their lives! I want to help too!" Feliciano piped up.

Antonio blushed heavily, a huge smile working its way across his face. "You'd really do that just for me…Tha"—

Francis put a finger to Antonio's lips. "Ah-ah-ah! Don't thank us yet! You can save that for when you invite us to your wedding!"

"Now, you should go give Arthur a call!" Feliciano added.

"Will do!" Antonio said happily.

Antonio picked up his phone and called his beloved, waiting nervously for a response.

"Hey Arthur," he began. "Want to come over tonight?"
