Okay!

More fun hijinks! And yet another short chapter, sorry!

Moonlight Stroll

Summary: Regina and Emma decide to take a walk outside in the snow.

World: Canon compliant, five years later.

The quiet around them was comforting as the couple walked through the snow, hands entwined between them, sharing coy looks and laughing silently. Maybe they'd had a little bit to drink before Regina spontaneously decided that going out for a walk would be a good idea, and Emma had been a bit hesitant, but a few kisses from her girlfriend quickly weakened her resolve.

It wasn't that cold outside, but Regina still burrowed closer. Emma moved to wrap her arm around Regina, hands still together, and said, "You look beautiful."

The words were a bit slurred and loose, but Regina still smiled fondly and moved to press a kiss on Emma's cheek, shivering ever so slightly at the cooler skin there. Emma's blush quickly heated up her cheeks, and she looked ethereal to Regina, the softly fallen snow on her hair almost making her glow. Growing bold, Regina unfurled from their sideways embrace, hands connected, and started walking backwards, pulling a grinning Emma along.

The problem with walking backwards in heels in the snow - something that baffled Emma entirely - was that it was more likely for her to slip on the ice that had gathered underneath the snow, and fall. And that was exactly what happened. Considering their reflexes were a bit slower, when Regina toppled over, she dragged Emma right on top with her.

"Ooof!" Emma exclaimed, at the fall, before pulling her head up to look at Regina. "You okay?"

Regina merely giggled and cupped Emma's cheeks, moving up to kiss her. "I am wonderful. And although I had planned this a different way, I suppose it will do."

And there, in the middle of the walkway, underneath a pale streetlight, lying on the ground with her girlfriend on top, Regina fished around in her pocket for something.

"Regina? What's going on?" Emma asked, completely clueless.

The answer was a velvet box which, when Regina undid the clasp, held a beautiful ring. Emma gasped, understanding.

Regina meanwhile, was trying to gather courage. She had a plan. Propose in the park, a speech prepared and ready. But like always, anything related to Emma was never a simple affair. It was like a tumultuous storm that just came and took her by surprise every time, and she just loved her even more for it. So she just took the ring out of the box, and sat up a bit, the alcohol fueling her.

"Emma, I had a speech all planned out but of course that plan went out the window-"

"Or slipped on ice," Emma cheekily added, grinning as she bit her lower lip.

Regina smacked her arm for it. "Anyway, between that and the fact that I have snow running through my back and I'd rather go back home and into a hot shower, I'll just skip to the question. Emma Swan, would you do me the great honour of marrying me?"

Emma answered with a resounding yes before rushing forward to capture her lips, and at the same time, transport them back home. But of course, even after so many years training and honing her magic, Emma didn't manage t make it a smooth landing. Where she had been aiming for the sofa, she managed to get it halfway right, except Regina landing half on the couch and half off meant that they immediately toppled over, and now Regina was on top of Emma.

"Now this I much prefer," Regina smirked, leaning down to kiss her fiancee. The thought made her nearly squeal with glee. But of course, Regina Mills didn't squeal. She did get love-sick mushy grins whenever she kissed Emma.

"Yeah yea, now come on, fiancee," Emma grinned, holding up her hand, the back facing Regina. "Don't you have something to put here?"

Regina gleefully places the ring on Emma's ring finger and looked at how it fit there perfectly. "I love you."

Emma beamed as she said, "I love you too."

And that was this prompt!

Next up, some hot chocolate drinking! Hopefully also posted today.
