Today marks a special Two Year Anniversary · 5:55am Jul 15th, 2017
On this day back in 2015, I was asked a very special question by a very good friend and fellow writer on this site. If it wasn't for his stories on Fimfiction, or my own determination to write stories myself, I don't think we would've ever contacted each other years later. Honestly, one of the big reasons we actually started talking was because I complimented his story Melting Snow on a thread of what our favorite M/M stories were. I talked about what I loved about that Caramel/Big Mac romance, and he PMed me saying how much he appreciated my praises about it. Constant PMs eventually turned to Skype discussions, and those discussions slowly evolved to more personal and carefree things outside of writing. We exchanged names, photos, and even went as far as to talk on video calls to see each other. Looking back, I'm kinda glad we actually talked to each other during a time when Skype was still a reliable service. (Seriously, Discord is way better)
Anyway, on this day, on July 15th 2015, Stormy messaged me on Skype and asked me to get on video. And after I did, he asked if I wanted to be his boyfriend. And naturally, I smiled like an idiot and said yes without any hesitation.
And honestly, I think that this site is the biggest reason for us to be together. I was just some hairy slob that was finishing up college and getting his life together after moving out from his soon-to-be unspeaking family, and he was a student finishing up school and dealing with problems of his own. Both of us used writing as a mean to express our inner potentials through our stories and characters, and our shared interests and ideas helped to bring us closer together with each message sent and every chapter written. If it wasn't for this place or this fandom, chances are good that we would've never met and had the chance to know each other. I never would've seen how much potential and talent he has, nor would I have had someone in my life I would be so blessed to have as someone closer than a friend.
He means so much to me, and I know that a lot is still to come, even after two years together. We're going to move in together soon, and possibly even get our own house by the end of this year. We're hoping to no longer be a long-distance couple, and eventually become those live-in gay couples that get stereotyped like crazy on TV. And you know what? I wouldn't want it any other way.
I know you're reading this, Stormy. And I just want you to know that you make me happier than anyone else in my life. You're the biggest reason I keep on writing, and why I keep on improving myself in every way I know how. I know I'm not the perfect man, but I'm never going to stop being the closest to perfect that I can for someone as wonderful as you. I love you with all my heart, and I'm already looking forward to seeing where the upcoming years take us.

❤❤❤❤ beautifully written, you are such a wonderful couple and I can relate personally. Today is the last day of my holiday with my boyfriend of one year and I love him with all my heart. He makes me a better person no matter how far away we live (thankfully only 2 states away) and it makes me excited for our possible future together.
I wish both you and storm butt an amazing life together, you most certainly both deserve it!! And thanks for making this site that much more fantastic to be on.
And here's another reminder that I am single. I am still really happy for the both of you. I hope you have a happy life together.
Character development.
But in all seriousness I couldn't have worded it better myself. I love you with all my heart and being with you in person feels like I'm at home in a way home hasn't felt in a long time. I feel safe just being around you and like I don't have to hide much of myself like I do to others. When I'm happy you're always the first person I want to tell why, and the first person I want to see when I'm sad. I love you, babe.
Happy 2 years anniversary.
