The Princess Bride was paused on the tv and a small red heart was visible on today's date on the calendar.
The door to the apartment opened and Killian walked in wearing his leather pants, a dressy black shirt, and a red vest. "Happy first date-iversary" Killian shouted joyfully.
His smile was replaced with worry when his eyes fell upon a sick Emma curled up on the couch. She looked awful in her current state as she said "please leave Killian I don't want you to get sick too." He smiled "I am certainly not abandoning the woman I love because of some silly flu."
Despite Emma's pleas to the contrary Hook sat down on the couch wrapping his arms around her. And that was how it would remain as Emma hit play on the movie.
Killian, gentleman as always would pause the movie whenever Emma nodded off and hit play when she awoke. At some point during the movie Killian had sat up and started stroking her hair. The movie paused and Emma groggily turned towards Killian saying "I'm not asleep, you can keep it playing."
Her mouth dropped into a perfect O when her eyes landed upon Killian who had one of his knees resting on the ground and the other bent up. He held a small ring-box in his hands with a large diamond sitting on its fabric pillow. "I had very different plans of how to spend this evening" he started nervously "however I am once again reminded that all I will ever need is you to be happy. I want to come home to you every day and spend every night by your side."
Emma managed to close her mouth but was unable to produce any sound.
"You make me a better man. For the first time in forever I have someone who makes me happy, something worth living for. Now I am unsure of the exact customs in your land so I hope that I'm doing this correctly." He glanced up at the clock "I wanted to ask you on our anniversary but you slept through that. But I don't care about that because I want to spend every minute of every day by you side. Emma Swan will you marry me?" He asked his voice breaking.
Emma was crying tears of joy as she nodded her head whispering "yes". He threw his arms around her embracing her despite the possibility of catching her cold. To him Emma was worth far more than the possibility of catching a cold.
