Okay first I would like to thank everyone who reviewed for the last chapter; I really appreciate it. Now on to the actual proposal! It's short and sweet, hope you like.

Diamonds and Misunderstandings

My mouth dropped open. In his hand was the biggest f-ing diamond ring I had ever seen, I was literally half blinded by it.

"Oh. My. God." I managed to stutter out. I looked from him to the ring and back again. Did he really just say propose? Was I seriously being proposed to? In the shower?

"Marry me." He stated more than asked, classic Sirius. I was in shock; everything was going in slow motion around me and I could barely inhale much less give him an answer.

I think he took my shock as hesitation and began to explain his reasoning behind the proposal. "I know we haven't officially been together that long, but I know I want this. I knew from the minute I saw you that I wanted this." He told me as he walked closer to me.

My mouth was still hanging open and I was processing things very slowly, this was Sirius Black we were talking about here; we were never really a feelings couple and now he was laying all this on me? Not that I hadn't thought of marrying him, like 80 million times, but I just never thought he would actually propose. At least not so soon.

"What are you thinking? Why are you just standing there?" He asked me nervously, still holding the ring out.

I shrugged my shoulders at him and was completely at loss for words.

"Will you say something already?" Sirius pleaded, looking very nervous now. "You don't want to marry me do you?"

"No" I managed to get out.

His face dropped for a moment and then within a 2 second window a million emotions passed over him. He looked murderous and devastated as he threw the beautiful ring on the ground and quickly exited the bathroom.

What the hell was he doing? Why did he throw the ring? He just asked me to marry him and now he was running away? What did I say?

Oh fuck, I said no! Shit! Fuck! Fuck! I hadn't meant it like that! Damn it. I jumped out of the shower, picked up the ring, and still completely naked ran after him.

"Sirius! Wait!" I yelled running through the house nude and dripping wet. I almost fell down the steps but caught myself on the rail and got to him at the bottom of the stairs just before he got into the fireplace.

I slammed into him, grabbing his face and kissed him like my life depended on it. "For fuck's sake Sirius, I didn't mean no I won't marry you, I meant no you're wrong I do want to marry you" I explained to him in between kisses.

He just stood there not kissing me back, not touching me at all. He seemed to be repulsed by my presence. Damn it Sirius.

I am so fucking stupid, why the hell did I say no? I clearly have issues, who in the hell spits out the word no when the man of your dreams just proposed; me that's who.

I threw my arms around his neck and looked at him dead in the eye. "Sirius please? Of course I'll marry you, I was just in shock, I wasn't expecting you to propose to me in the shower. I love you; Hell yes I want to marry you, absolutely yes, a million times yes!" I cried out in a pleading tone.

It must have finally hit him that I had accepted his proposal because he let out a deep breathe of what sounded to be relief, and wrapping his arms around my wet body pressed his lips to mine. I could feel the heart beating hard in his chest as he ran his tongue across my own and tangled his hands in my damp hair.

"I could fucking kill you for scaring me like that" he grumbled as he pulled away and grabbed the ring out of my hand.

"Not to mention I would have to return this ridiculously priced ring." I smiled and held out my left hand. "Here let's try this again, this time say yes. Okay?" Sirius instructed.

"Okay, wait give me your shirt, I don't want to be proposed to naked in my living room" I told him.

He rolled his eyes at me, but pulled his shirt over his head and handed it to me. "Is this really the time for modesty?" he asked incredulously as his eyes roamed over my naked form. "Naked and wet is a good look for you" He told me and I could see his arousal growing.

I just shrugged and put the shirt on, effectively covering up all my bits. At least now we were both only half naked, this would make a great story for the grandkids no?

"Are you ready now…wait I should get down on one knee shouldn't I?" He said laughing as he dropped to the floor.

I shook my head at his gesture. "This really isn't necessary you know" I responded. He huffed at me "I'm trying to be romantic here darling, just go with it."

"Okay, but if your going to make this romantic shouldn't we have mood music?" I asked as I ran over to the IPod and it began playing "Unforgettable."

"Hmm, I actually couldn't have planned that any better. Okay now you may begin." I told him smirking.

"Finally; Give me your hand." He told me and I handed him the left one.

"Darling, I knew from the moment you assaulted me with a bottle of shampoo that you were the girl for me. We've been through a lot. I've had to suffer through watching you with two other blokes, holding out on me sexually and let's not forget my defiance of the laws of nature by returning from the dead. Still, if I had it all to do over I wouldn't change a second of it. My entire miserable bloody life, even Azkaban, was worth it if it means I get to have you now, well as long as you say yes this time anyway." He finished.

Oh hell, like I was going to say no to that. I don't think Voldemort himself could have turned him down. "That was really good; did you prepare this before hand?" I asked.

"No actually it just sort of came to me." He shrugged "So Colleen will you marry me?"

There was no hesitation this time, I was positive of my answer. "Yes, Sirius I will marry you." I told him and he slid the diamond onto my ring finger and then stood to kiss me. "Good." He said.

"I'm glad you asked, because this is an awesome ring" I kidded him waving my hand around making the ring sparkle in the candlelight.

"I'm glad you like it." He said in return. "I figured you would."

Unforgettable had stopped playing and the IPod moved onto the next song which was quite different but not so inappropriate for the situation; Nine Inch Nails "Closer." Sirius and I looked each other and started laughing.

"This isn't exactly the mood music I was thinking of but it works really well actually" he raised an eyebrow at me and smirked before I was pushed up against the wall and kissed in the manor of our first kiss. Only this time I knew not even a miracle could have kept my panties on, not that I was wearing any anyway.

I thought this proposal was fitting for them, not too sappy, but just enough to make it sincere. Please review and tell me what you think?
