A Thousand Years
Disclaimer: I own nothing, just borrowing the characters and song for a bit.
Summary: A songfic. It's Myka and Helena's anniversary and Helena has found the perfect song for them. One shot.
A/N: Ok, so I've never written a fanfic before but I love this pairing, this has become my new favorite song and inspiration randomly struck. Inspiration for this came from Racethewind10's tumblr. Also this is unbeta'd and all mistakes are my own, I apologize in advance. So here's hoping you enjoy a light bit of romantic fluff. Oh and the song is Christina Perri's A Thousand Years.
Helena smiled as she put her fork down and gazed adoringly at the woman across the table from her. It was she and Myka's second anniversary and she wanted it to be special. She'd made dinner herself, having gotten the recipe from Leena for some of Myka's favorite dishes.
She was nervous. Tonight was the night, the night she would ask Myka for her hand in marriage. At first when she'd awoken to this time, she'd been disappointed in what the world had become but the woman across from her, Myka, had made her see that not all the world was horrible. Myka was her light in the darkness and it was only one of the many reasons she loved the woman.
They had just finished dessert when Helena stood up. She'd gotten Claudia's help in picking the right song and to help set up the Bose and show her how to select the song on her iPod. For all that Leena and Claudia had done to help with the evening Helena would forever be in their debt. She selected the song she wanted and smiled as the music began and the woman's voice started to sing.
Hearts beat fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid
To fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt
Suddenly goes away somehow
One step closer
She made her way back over to Myka, a soft smile on her face as she offered the other woman her hand.
"Might I have this dance, darling?"
I have died every day
Waiting for you
Darlin' don't be afraid
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I'll love you for a
Thousand more
Her smile grew wider as Myka placed her hand in Helena's own. Helena gently helped the other woman up and pulled her into her arms, leading them in an easy waltz. She felt the butterflies in her stomach settle a bit once she was in Myka's arms. This was the woman she loved, her One and she was looking forward to a future with her.
Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything
Take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath,
Every hour has come to this
One step closer
She stopped them as they reached the middle of the room. Smiling nervously at Myka she pulled away slightly and reached into her small vest pocket, pulling out the ring as she dropped down to one knee, the music still playing in the background.
"Myka Ophelia Bering. Will you marry me?"
