Hans was unable to keep the blush off of his face as he walked into Elsa's office. The blonde CEO was looking absolutely perfect, as usual, with her hair hanging over her shoulder in a loose braid that somehow managed to look both casual and official at the same time, and wearing a white button up blouse with a knee-length blue pencil skirt. She glanced at him as he walked in, pausing from her work to smile at him (which really did not help his nervousness or his embarrassment at all) before turning her attention back to the computer screen.
The redheaded man stopped in front of her desk, slowly pulled out the red velvet box from his pocket, got down on one knee in front of his girlfriend (of five years, so surely a proposal wasn't that sudden, right? Right?!) and, stuttering slightly, said, "Marry me."
Elsa turned her eyes away from the screen of her computer and looked at him, blinking in confusion for a moment.
Then, without missing a beat, she stood up from her desk, grabbed the cord next to her desk, and with a yank, the curtains hiding her office from the view of their co-workers were pulled open, revealing a room full of people.
"Say it again." Elsa said calmly, coming around to the front of her desk and leaning against it, practically daring him to say something about what she had just done.
Hans felt his face get even redder when people started turning towards the window and saw him with the ring in his hand. Doing his best to ignore the stares, he turned back to Elsa, took a breath, and said, "Marry me."
Elsa stared at him, and then hummed, turning her eyes up to the ceiling. Then she turned to her computer, and turned the camcorder on the top of the computer towards Hans. "Say it again."
Hans blinked at the tripod for a second, before turning back to Elsa once again. So that's how she wants to do it. "Marry me." He said, trying to make himself sound more forceful this time.
Elsa smiled a bit at him, and Hans grinned.
"Again."
"Marry me." Hans said, this time without any hesitation.
"Again."
"Marry me."
Elsa bowed her head. "Again." Her voice was practically a whisper.
"Marry me."
Elsa slowly looked up at him, and as she smiled, tears of joy began to fall from her eyes.
Leo:
No space for shyness here. Announce your love from the rooftops.
