It had been hours, and still no sight of Captain. Nobody will help me find him or even tell me where he could be. Is he dead? Lost? I don’t know, but it’s starting to scare me. Captain hasn’t ever vanished this long.
I walk over to Ted who has a suspicious grin on his face “Anything new?” I asked “No” He response in a hurried tone, swifting past me. “Ted wait!” He stops to look back at me.
“yes?” Says the green eyed sniper with an annoyed voice.
“You’re acting weird… I know something’s up, what is it?” Pausing for a moment, he speaks. “All I can say is he has something special planned for you.” The green eyed sniper walks away.
Something special…for me?
I leave, eventually approaching my room. As I go to open the door a voice blooms. “Steve?” It’s Captain. I turn my head, a warm smile forming. “Captain!” I say walking towards him, wrapping my arms around his waist, hugging him.”Where have you been?” I say laying my head on his shoulder. “Busy with uh…work”
An excuse, as expected.
“Well Ted mentioned” but before I could finish Captain interrupts “Damn it! Did he tell you?” Slamming his palm onto his face in frustration. “Only that you were planning something special” He smiles. “He didn’t spoil it? Good.”
Spoil what exactly?
Captain moves away now holding my hand, signaling to come with him, I follow. We eventually exit the base, darkness creeping onto us and the only thing lighting the sky is the stars. He sits me down, proceeding to do the same and wrapping his arm around me.
We gaze the night sky. After a minute he looks to me. “I love you Steve.” He says. “I love you too Cap.” He squeezes me closely. “You don’t have to say Captain…you can call me John.” Such a gorgeous name. “Fine by me.”
We sit there in silence for a few seconds, minutes, hours? No that’s not right…minutes.
“Steve…there’s something’s I’ve been meaning to ask.” Are eyes meet. “Yes John?”
“You know we’ve been together for a while now.” I Interrupt“5 years.” Looking away from him. “Yes… and well” Reaching for his pocket, he blushes as he does. “I’ve never met someone as amazing as you…Steve you’re perfect in every way” butterfly’s fill my stomach, my face flushed. He opens a box, and moves my face close to his. “Will you marry me?” I nearly choke on my breath.
“Yes” I reply, pulling him in for a kiss. It’s silent.
Only now realizing this is what Ted meant by special. I thought it was the gazing, the cuddling, the fact Captain thought to be with me. But no it’s something better, he proposed. To me, It really was a special moment.
