I love you, I love you, I love you

[connike]

We've see it everywhere. Rings inside pokeballs, in cakes, in drinks, during baseball games and more. This meme pinpoints on some of the more interesting (and really adorable!) ways to tell someone you want to spend the restof your life with them!

Rules:

✰

Comment with your character.

✰

Someone responds, picking a number from 1 to 8 (or using the Random Number Generator), and plays out the specific propsal situation. (Note that the second person should be the one propsing, but it doesn't matter!)

✰

Thread!

PROFIT.
So how are YOU going to propose to your darling dearest, after being together for so long? Well...

Scenarios:

1. Down on One Knee

Traditionally. Either in public or privately, one of you has taken the daring risk of becoming completely vulnerable in the midst of the other. You've got the perfect ring tucked into your coat jacket, and now all that's left is to see how the other reacts.

2. Cake

After a long, very expensive dinner, all that's left is dessert. In one bite in particular, you feel a hard...something hit your teeth. Upon investigating this strange object, you find a beautiful ring covered in cake in your hand. Look up, and you'll find your significant other looking at you with those adorable goo goo eyes you just love.

3. Fortune Cookie

It's your average night at the local Chinese resturant, nothing too special. And of course, every American knows that a good Chinese meal is never over until you eat the fortune cookie. But on this night, you crackopen your cookie, surprised to find there's a lovely little ring looking back at you. The slip of paper that goes with all fortune cookies reads a simple: "Will you marry me?" (in bed???)

4. During the Game

In the midst of the tired players taking their much earned break at half time, and the seemingly hundreds of birthday wishes flying past on the large screen, one message in particular will stand out to you. " ____ will you marry me?" And when you turn to your lover, heart thumping loudly, you'll see a huge ring presented before you.

5. In a Book

Just a quiet night together, playing some games, reading a few books. Upon locating a particular book, you crack it open, only to find that the pages have been hollowed out, leaving only a beautiful ring, and a delicate note saying "Will you marry me?" in its place.

6. During the Movies

A.k.a MysteryGuitarMan on Youtube's most adorable proposal. You've prepared a little scene at the beginning of the movies, and had the people in charge play in between movie previews. The lights go up, buddy, and now it's your time to shine!

7.One Balloon

Better known as "the most adorable scene in Super Junior's No One music video." You've got tons of balloons, and together you and your honey let them go fly into the sky. But why didn't you let the last one go? I'll say that ring attatched to the end has something to do with it!

8. Anything!

There is no doubt in my mind that I have missed out on some really cute proposals, so make your own up!

[the whole idea of a proposal embarrasses robbie just by thinking of it, so what he did - which he thought was brilliant, by the way - was leave messages in erik's book so he doesn't have to do the traditional, kneel-on-one-knee kind of thing. and since erik had a stack of post-its, unused, why robbie thought it was high time for them to be of use.

so he started by leaving a note on erik's cel phone (good morning erik, and then on the bathroom door (i hope you forgive me for this roundabout way of talking to you), on the dresser door (but this is much easier), on his laptop screen (well perhaps not for you but i prefer this anyway), on the back of the door just before he walks out (i'm sorry, i'm not making any sense), on the wall on his right (i'm wasting your post-it as well. i'll buy you a new one i promise), on the door of the fridge (oh, there was a point to all of this but i forgot), on the coffee maker (i remember now: i'm sorry), on the cabinet drawer just where the coffee mugs are (i am horrible at communicating well enough to people who i like very much and so i figured - the message was continued on his coffee mug, where robbie wrote in cramped writing, you would appreciate my thoughts no matter how messy they are), on the package for coffee filters (did i just write tha oh no), on the package for the loaf of bread before he even thinks of getting out a slice for toast (what i mean to say is that i like you), on the toaster (in my dreams i i really like you).

and on the kitchen wall, somewhat a surrender, perhaps a hint of despair: this is quite addicting but i'm doing really bad at expressing myself, i hope you don't mind if i go into hiding now.

(he's not actually hiding, but he'd decided to go out and pick up some eggs from the store because they ran out, but he figured he'd tell erik that he did anyway, because that's what caused him to go out in the first place.]

[xdaddy]

[ Erik wakes to an insane amount of Post-Its, and having been so freshly woken up from a good dream, it takes a little while to let the message sink in, as does the fact that while Robbie's words are scrawled all around the apartment, the man himself is oddly absent. He stares at the colorful little notes before he takes them down, the slow hum of amusement tickling his consciousess. Robbie rambles when he's nervous, and it's clear from the written words he's reading that the man happens to do it non-verbally, too.

Tucking them neatly away as he makes his own coffee, he goes over to his phone and texts him a simple: where are you? which should be enough while he makes them both coffee. He wants to hear it, what Robbie is trying fruitlessly to say to him, and and he can't do that if Robbie is far too busy hiding from him, yes?

Then, another text: what did you want to tell me? ]

[boarbie]

[he returns the text by replying, :(

and a few minutes later robbie enters, a small plastic bag of some groceries in it as he makes his way back into their apartment. the first thing he looks for are all the post-its that he'd put up; seeing that they're gone, he assumes that erik has read them all and says in a huff,]

I already did tell you! I'm very bad at doing this, traditionally. [a pause.] I haven't got you a ring. But, um, I bought you groceries and I took out the trash earlier? [that must count for something....]

[xdaddy]

[ Erik stares at him blankly, for a few moments. Robbie tells him that he likes him often enough -- otherwise they wouldn't be living together, right? The younger man hasn't struck him as someone who'd just shack up with anyone, as far as Erik is concerned.

He helps him put away the groceries. Eggs into the fridge, and the rest into their respective places. It doesn't take long, and he considers the implications of that in silence. ]

A ring?

[boarbie]

[robbie is going to bury his face in his hands.]

You're doing this on purpose. To antagonize me.

[xdaddy]

[ ...Oh. ]

You want to -- [ It sinks in. Oh. ]

[boarbie]

You're a cruel man, Erik Lehnsherr. I think I shall bury myself in my bed and never come out again, thank you.

[xdaddy]

[ He smiles faintly, before he reaches out to tug him into his arms, pressing a kiss to his forehead. ]

No, you won't.

[boarbie]

[he lets him pull him to an embrace, lets erik kiss him on the forehead, closes his eyes as he leans his head against his chest, listening to him breathe, listening to erik breathe.]

Marry me.
