"You weren't supposed to hear that!"
"Were you just-?"
"Please don't finish that."
"Practicing-"
"Marinette, I'm begging you to not finish that sentence."
"Proposing?"
Groaning, Chloe scrubbed at her face with her hands as she turned and sat on the edge of the bed, Marinette coming to sit beside her a few seconds later.
"It was going to be a surprise for our anniversary," Chloe muttered a few minutes later, pulling her hands away from her face as she fiddled with the ring she was holding, light glinting off the golden band.
They sat in silence for a minute, both of them staring at the ring twirling between Chloe's fingers. The ring was small, a thin gold band with gold leafing on it, leading up to the gold rose sitting in the middle, a small diamond beautifully nestled in the middle. The silence stretched for a few moments more before being broken by Marinette's thoughtful hum.
"I'd say yes you know."
Blinking, Chloe turned to her girlfriend with a raised eyebrow.
"What?"
"If you asked me. I'd say yes."
Mouth open in disbelief, Chloe watched as Marinette reached into her pocket, pulling out a small black box that made her heart stop. Marinette watched her with an odd half-grin as she opened it and turned it towards the blonde, showing off the half gold, half silver band with a small bee holding a diamond on it.
"Now I guess I'm asking, what would you say?"
Pulling her eyes away from the ring, Chloe blinked away the tears blurring her vision and turned back to her girlfriend, noticing immediately how nervous she looked with her eyebrows furrowed, her bottom lip pulled between her teeth, and her free hand fiddling with a loose string on the thigh of her pants.
Choking on a laugh, Chloe leaned forward, toppling the two of them back onto the bed as she laughed and peppered the other girl's face with small kisses. After she had her fill for the moment, she managed to pull herself back, beaming down at Marinette.
"I'd say yes. Everytime."
