An AU in which Klaus and Cecilia stay together after graduation.
Klaus Victor Goldstein was never nervous. He had been the emperor of the Gedonelune Royal Magic Academy as a student, a well-respected prefect, and now he was one of the best professors of the academy. He'd faced dark wizards, and dangerous magical creatures. He had managed to calm down his older brother when his Miss Elaine was in labor.
He was incredible and level-headed.
So why was he in a cold sweat?
This is nothing. It's just a question, and I already know her answer. We've been dating since we were students!
Cecilia smiled as she stepped down the stairs, and Klaus felt his heart thump. No matter how many times he'd seen her dressed up, she always made him feel nervous. Only slightly, of course. And he would never tell her.
Her platinum blonde hair was done up, with only a small cluster of hair framing her face on each side. Tangerine eyes framed by long, curling lashes looked at him, full of warmth and love.
Of course she'll say yes.
She grinned and twirled in her light violet dress.
"How do I look?" she asked.
"As gorgeous as always," he purred, walking over and offering his arm.
"What did you expect?" she chuckled, slipping her arm through his.
But what if she thinks it's too soon?
They walked to the carriage, and Klaus held the door open. She smiled sweetly as he helped her up. Then, he went around the other side and sat beside her. They talked about their students and classes. Where Klaus was the best academically, the students all adored Cecilia. They saw her as a guide and as well as someone to talk to when times were tough. It made him feel proud to be by her side.
They walked into the restaurant. As a waiter walked them to their table in the back, Klaus subtly stuck his hand in his pocket and felt the velvet box.
Almost time...
As they ate, they chatted about lighthearted matters, like how Nicholas and Elaine were planning to have their third child, and how Cecilia's father had found an incredibly rare fish.
He gave me his blessing already, so I have his support.
They got dessert, and they offered each other a bite of their own cake. When they were done, they walked out of the restaurant. The couple walked outside for a while.
I... can't wait any longer.
Klaus led his beloved to the fountains. As Cecilia was smiling up at the water, he dropped to his knee and took out the box.
"Cecilia?" he called.
Calm down.
She turned her head, and her eyes, those beautiful eyes, widened in surprise.
She loves you.
"We've known each other for a long time," he began, "And this moment... I've been waiting for it from the beginning."
We'll grow old together.
"Will you marry me?"
"I suppose!" she replied, though she had tears in her eyes, "I suppose I'll have to say yes!"
She held out her hand and he carefully placed the elaborate, diamond-encrusted ring.
We'll be together forever.
He held out his arms and couldn't suppress a grin as she threw herself into his embrace. She leaned back just enough to place a sweet kiss on his lips. Klaus tightened his arms around her, his heart overflowing with love, happiness, and relief.
Of course she'd say yes.
Hope you guys like this oneshot! I know I don't do a lot of Klaus ones, and the last one for him wasn't super romantic, so I hope this makes up for it a bit.
Please leave reviews and critiques!
Have a nice day/night!
