"Sherlock, if you're asking me not to look, I just won't. You don't have to cover my eyes."
"Please. I know for long enough to know you'll peek. And it'll ruin the surprise."
He leaded her a bit further, and then looked around to make sure he's in the right spot. He removed his hands from her eyes.
"Alright, open your eyes."
The curious and excited smile she had faded away the second she saw where she was. They stood under St. Barts, in the exact spot where she found John leaning next to Sherlock's body.
"What kind of sickened joke is this?!" she asked furiously and pushed him away from her. "Did you think it would be funny? Because it isn't. Not even a bit." she started walking away angrily.
"Wait, Dana!" he called to her and ran after her. She turned to him. "Hear me out first. We're here for a reason." he said softly and excitedly, and pulled her arm gently so she'll follow him. She did.
"I know it's hard for you to be here. It is for me too. But I've planned this for a long while now, so don't ruin it." he placed her in the right spot again.
"You've planned this? What is there to plan?" she asked confused. She still didn't understand, and Sherlock was grateful that just this once she was an ordinary woman, and not the woman who read threw him in seconds.
"Look, you know I don't care about out status, but I know that you do. You are the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. But you're not just an empty shell – you're so much more. You're clever, you're kind, you're strong – and you love me. You're the first woman that ever loved me. And you're the first woman I have ever loved. I want you to be the last one too." he said lovingly, and his eyes sparkled. And just as Dana started to wonder if he is actually doing what she thought he does, he kneeled. Dana covered her mouth with her hand in surprise. Tears filled her eyes.
"This is the exact place where I left you, and this is the exact place where I'm asking you to be forever mine." he pulled a small black box out of his coat. He opened it, and there was a ring in it. It wasn't the biggest or the fanciest, but Dana knew immediately why he picked it – it matched her earrings.
"Dana Scott, I love you. Will you marry me?" he asked with hope and love.
"Yes." She whispered, and her voice was shaking with excitement.
Sherlock smiled the biggest smile she had ever seen him smiling, and he got up. He put the ring on her shaking finger, and he kissed her. Their very first kiss as a real couple. He didn't lie when he said he doesn't care about the status, but now that he knew that she is now legally his, he couldn't be happier. He must remember to thank John for that sentence. Just because he laughed at his face when he suggested it doesn't mean he didn't like it. They kept kissing, and for a few moments, Dana had forgotten about what once happened where they were now kissing.
