Work Text:
Dinner on my birthday was very nice, being basically alone in a part of Casa De Fazul made me smile; no random people coming up to us asking if Dan was the one who brought light to the report or if I was the famous archaeologist who found a Viking Ship just recently.
Indian Jones, eat your heart out.
“How was work?” I asked my boyfriend.
“Caroline, I don’t want to talk about that today, it’s your birthday! I’d rather talk about you.” Dan smiled.
Dan wasn’t a normal cup of tea, some find him boring but I didn’t. I find him like the stuff I find, fascinating! His line of work was long and hard just like something else he has but, I digress. Dan’s hand held mine and I look into his eyes.
“What about me?” I asked.
“Well, how about how amazing you look in that black dress; how your hair makes you see like a goddess, I don’t think you’re wearing any make up, if you are, you’ve fooled me. I can’t wait to get you to go dancing soon, I enjoy watching you move.” Dan answered.
I blushed, his hand now cupping the side of my face.
“I’d do a whole report on the things I like about you.” Dan added.
“Oh god please don’t, we’d be here probably all night.” I laughed.
“But honestly Candy, you’re so sweet; when we make love and I hear you moan, it’s like a choir of angels are singing, your hair so long that I’m shocked that it hasn’t strangled me to death...okay that was a bad joke sorry. Your eyes so captivating that my soul is close to flying when I look into them; when I feel depressed your smile lifts me up. You know so much about this world, yet try to find more; that passion reminds me to keep going every single day.” Dan told me.
I gasp hearing his admissions; I wanted to say something but he puts a finger up to my lips.
“I still wonder to myself how I ever got so damn lucky to have you. We’ve had our fair share of fights, disagreements but our love is strong that we’re still together. And I wonder about somethings…” Daniel zoomed out.
“About?” I asked.
Daniel smiled, a slice of cake is placed in front of me and again I gasp. In chocolate syrup it read:
“And I wonder about somethings, like if you would marry me.”
Daniel got on one knee, in a black box with a blue inside was the ring; the band silver and it has sapphire and amethyst gems on it. I started to tear up and my head shakes.
“Yes.”
Daniel slips the ring onto my finger and pulls me into a kiss. The whole place exploded with cheers, Daniel wipes the tears from my face.
“Happy Birthday my wife.”
