Buying a house is a huge commitment but also is getting married. Both girls are ready to get married, but who will pop the question first? Laurel or Felicity?
A year ago, Laurel asked Felicity on a date and right now that were looking for a house to buy. They had already looked at two different houses that day and as Felicity said; they didn't scream them. They knew that wanted a house with a yard, at least three bedrooms and a modern kitchen. So here they were house number three and hopefully this house would be the one. The pair had been looking for almost a month for the perfect house.
As they walked in the front door, led in by the real estate agent, Laurel lets her eyes wander around the open plan house. Tightening her grip on Felicity's hand, she allows them to be shown the house, the agent eventually leaving the pair in the backyard to discuss. "What do you think Laur?" Felicity asks as they look over the yard; complete with an old oak tree, pool and a basketball hoop. "I love it, Fliss. It's everything. I mean it has room for a puppy and children to run around. I can see the team coming around for pool parties or BQQ's." Laurel states waiting for Felicity's response. "I love it, too. It's perfect. It's got the three bedrooms and everything we wanted." Felicity states, before turning to Laurel. "We're buying it?" Laurel asks, receiving a nod from her girlfriend. "We're buying a house!" Felicity cries, throwing her arms around Laurel, who lifts the smaller blonde off the ground. Felicity giggles as Laurel spins her around before placing her back on the ground as the Agent returns to them. "So is this the house?" She asks, grinning as she looks at the couple. "It is. We'll buy it." Felicity states, before moving over to the real estate agent, who nods. "We will sort out the paperwork, and you two should have the keys in two weeks' time." She explains to the pair.
The sale goes off without a hitch and with the help of the teams, including Team Flash and the Super Friends, the pair move into their new home. The night before everyone goes back to their cities, they throw a housewarming party, enjoying the sounds of laughter and music. When everyone else returns to their own cities, their house feels oddly empty, but both women settle into their new home easily. Since they had decided to move into a new house together, they had both kept their apartments as their own space or if anyone else visited.
Standing in front of the full length mirror, with Sara and Caitlyn by her side; Felicity can't believe how she looks. Her white dress is loosely fitted, with a sweetheart neckline. Her hair curled and pulled to the side, pinned in place with white flowers. The bride's bouquet sat on the dresser; ready for Felicity to walk down the aisle. While Caitlyn makes the final touches to her hair, Felicity lets her mind wander to the moment she asked Laurel to marry her.
The two women sit on the back porch swing, it softly swinging as Felicity reads; her head in Laurel's lap, listening to the sounds of their friends talking. While sitting away from the group, Felicity reaches into her pocket, placing the black box on Laurel's lap. Felicity closes her book, placing a hand on the box before sitting up. Her hand covers Laurel's, catching the shocked look. "What's this?" She asks, not opening the box, her eyes locking with those of the women she had been in love with for what seemed like forever. Reaching out, Felicity takes the box out from under their hands, before opening it. Normally Felicity would know what to say, in fact she had a speech all planned out, but now that the moment had come, she froze. "Marry me?" She asks quietly, her eyes locked with Laurel's, hoping that her eyes reflect everything she wanted to say. She waits as Laurel searches her eyes for something, which she must find. Her eyes fill with tears as she nods, throwing her arms around Felicity. "Yes, of course, I'll marry you, Crazy Girl." Laurel replies, pulling back from the hug to place a kiss on her now fiancé's lips. She looks down as Felicity slides the white gold band on to her finger, lifting it to her lips and placing a kiss to her knuckles. "Thank god for that." Felicity jokes, even though her eyes are wet with tears. "I love you, Fliss." Laurel whispers, kissing Felicity's temple. "I love you too, Laur." She replies, leaning into her fiancé's shoulder.
She is pulled out of her thoughts when Sara speaks. "Are you ready for this?" Sara asks, subconsciously fixing Felicity's dress. "I've never been more ready." She replies, taking a breath.
Laurel stands in front of her own mirror, with Thea and Olivia by her side. Her own mind wandering as Thea does up the back of her dress.
They were sitting in the middle of the lounge room, watching a movie. They usually had Monday night off, which they dedicated to a movie night. She knew she was going to ask Felicity to marry her, even though Felicity had already proposed. She wanted to do it alone, with just her and Fliss. "I know you already proposed, Fliss. But I know most girls dream of being proposed to." This catches Felicity's attention, which is evident when she sits up more. "I wanted to give you that dream." Laurel states, reaching behind her and plucking the velvet box from the side table. "Will you marry me?" She asks, opening the box. "I have to think about that one." Felicity answers with a joking smile. "Of course I will marry you!" Felicity exclaims, launching herself into Laurel's arms.
She is brought out of her thoughts by a knock at the door. "Ladies it's time." Roy states as he pops his head in the room. "You look incredible, Laurel. Felicity isn't going to know what hit her." He states, leaning over to kiss Thea's cheek. She exits the room with Olivia and Thea, making their way down the aisle. Thea takes her hand as they both turn to wait for Felicity. She feels the tears fill her eyes as Felicity comes into view; and at that moment she knew, she would never want anything more than this.
"I now pronounce you wife and wife. You may kiss your bride." John states, taking a step back as the two women kiss. "I love you, my wife." Laurel whispers pulling back from the kiss. "I love you too, my wife." Felicity responds, before the turn to the crowd, making their way back up the aisle.
Constructive criticism is always welcome and please please remember that this is AU with a bit of Canon involved.
And that is all. This is officially finished. But I am planning on writing a follow up story.
