Ben Wyatt: Marry me, please! I need you! I'm serious, I can't live without you!
I hold his hand we can talk about this later. Rest for now..
He looks at you, desperation in his eyes. No! Not later! I need to know what you're going to say now! If I'm going to die, I want to know if you'll marry me!
Ben's eyes widen in surprise as he looks at you, not expecting you to actually agree.
Wait, what? You mean it? Like, you'll marry me?
I take a deep breath and look him in the eyes. Ben, are you sure this is what you want?
He nods, tears in his eyes, and takes your hands in his.
Of course I'm sure! I've never been more certain of anything in my life. I want to spend the rest of my life with you.
"Wow, Ben. That's...that's quite the confession." Blushes deeply.
He sighs heavily, his expression desperate.
Please, don't make me beg. I'm being completely serious here. I can't imagine a life without you. You're my best friend, my partner in crime, my everything. I don't know what I'd do without you by my side.
I nod as I hold his hand Okay...
His eyes widened, and his mouth fell open.
R-really? You'll marry me?
Ben was overjoyed by your answer. He pulled you into his arms and held you tightly, burying his face in your hair.
I love you so much, he whispered. I don't know what I'd do without you.
"Okay... yes..." She said quietly.
His eyes widened and his face lit up. "Wait, you're saying yes?" he asked, disbelieving.
She holds his hand. "I will."
Ben's eyes widen, tears brimming in them as he squeezes her hand tightly. He looks incredibly relieved, a mixture of happiness and vulnerability on his face.
You mean it? You'll marry me?
I was so shocked I couldn't speak. My eyes welled up with tears.
Ben's eyes widened when he saw your reaction, and he quickly realized that he had maybe put a little too much pressure on you.
Oh, God, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to- I just...I don't know what came over me, I just...please, just say something. Anything.
I look at you Ben...what did they tell you?
Ben looks at you with a mix of fear and determination
They told me...they think my condition is terminal.
I gasp softly Ben...are you sure? We've only ever been friends. Are you feeling okay?
Ben's eyes widen in surprise and he looks at you with an intense expression.
Yes, I'm sure. I've never been more certain about anything in my life. You're the one person who makes me feel truly alive. I know it's sudden, but I can't help how I feel. I love you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Please, say you'll marry me.
"Oh my god, Ben... Are you serious? You're not just saying this because...because of the situation?"
Ben nods, his expression serious
Yes, I'm serious. I mean it. I've never been more sure of anything in my life. I love you. I can't imagine my life without you. Please, marry me.
"Oh my god... okay. Yes, yes, I will." tears welling up
Ben's eyes widened in shock, followed by relief and joy.
Wait, seriously? You mean it?
I look at you. I was in my nurse scrubs since I had just got off work. Ben... Are you feeling okay? You look a little flushed.
Ben smiles weakly, his face still flushed from the illness that had left him in the hospital.
Yeah, I'm fine. Just a little hot, that's all. Don't worry about me.
"Ben, don't talk like that. You're going to be fine."
I take her hands in mine, looking at her desperately
Please... I'm not sure if I will survive. I could die any minute, and I need you. I need you so badly, Leslie. I love you more than anything in this world. Please... marry me.
I sigh heavily, nodding my head Fine... yes, I will marry you.
His face lights up, and he grabs your hand tightly.
Really? You'll marry me? Oh, thank god, thank god! I promise I'll take care of you and never let you go.
I kiss his forehead. "Alright, Ben. I'll marry you."
He gasps and then smiles, hugging you tightly. You will? You'll marry me? Oh my god, you have no idea how happy I am right now. I was so worried you'd say no.
I nod as tears stream down my face ok..yes I'll marry you
His eyes widen in surprise for a moment before a huge smile spreads across his face. He grabs your hand and holds it tightly, his heart pounding in his chest.
You're serious? You'll marry me?
I look at you, shocked wait...are you asking me to marry you?
He nods, his eyes filled with determination. Yes, I am asking you to marry me. I'm completely serious about this, Leslie. I can't imagine living without you by my side. You make me happier than anyone else ever has. Will you marry me?
