Chapter 6 - Proposal - Don't think when you can feel...
Beautiful Fighters: Proposal (G)
by ShiroKitsune
In retrospect, it was probably not the best way for him to have proposed. She may not have been a romantic, but she was still female. She may not have wanted a hot-air balloon or boat ride proposal. Couldn't he have done it at least with a flower and on a bended knee? Now, lying in her bed, back to back and holding his breath, he felt the first stages of panic begin to set in.
Oh, why hadn't he waited? It seemed so cheap to ask after their first night together. He didn't think of her like that, she had to know. Yet he had been holding the ring for so long.
He sighed, "Riza…"
"Quiet Roy," she said. She was still turned away from him and she pulled the sheet up higher over her bare back.
"I just… I didn't mean for it to seem like," he trailed off.
"I'm thinking"
"About"
"I'm trying to figure something out," she sounded intent.
"What"
"If this is a dream," her voice is soft, musical in a way he's never heard and he knows he'll never forget.
Then she rolls over, misty-eyed, though she'll never admit it and he'll never make her.
And he's suddenly glad he's had that ring.
