Author's Notes
I might change the rating to T because there's going to be death. Nothing too gruesome, it would probably be in the show's rating. I'll have you guy's decide. Do you think The Flash would be rated K+ or T?
On their way to Jitterbugs they took a detour through the water front.
It had just got dark out. A purple tint stretched out through the horizon just noticeable enough to see. Netting lights hung from the bare trees. It looked so peaceful, Cait couldn't help take a deep breath and gawk.
Ronnie led her to a bench by the shore. A short cold floated through.
"Caitlin," he grasped her hands. "I don't know how to say this, but I love you. I love more than anything really." Where is this going? She wondered. "About five years ago I met you at Mercury Labs. We were both part of the intern program. You seemed distant. You seemed cold. you were a challenge I wanted to t-"
"Are you going to tell me how we met or is there a point to this," Cait said jokingly. To be honest she still didn't know what was going on.
He chuckled.
"Well believe it or not there is a point to this." He fished something from his jacket and began to kneel. Caitlin's breath hitched creating a hiccup of a gasp. "Caitlin Lauren Snow will do the honor of m-"
He didn't really need to finish that sentence.
"YES! YES! YES!" She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him passionately on the lips.
When they finished. He slipped the ring on her finger.
"Now how 'bout we get going to Ji-" BA-DA-BUP! BA-DA-BUP-BUP! Ronnie's phone went off.
He picked it up. "Hello?- What?- Yes. I understand. I'll be right there."
"Baby, is something wrong"
"Cait." He looked at her with pain. "I've got to go and help. Somethings not working right and I need to be there"
"I understand. You're the head engineer and they need you. I get it." It was true she did understand, but she still couldn't help but feel cheated. She knew it was selfish but could you blame her she literally just got engaged and he had to leave.
Caitlin decided to come along. Jitterbugs would be open until eleven tonight. They could just wait until this was all sorted out. It wasn't like the lounge required a reservation.
S.T.A.R. Labs was the hub of anything related to the term industrious. It spewed out the discoveries and inventions of the century like it was nothing. The fact Ronnie even got a chance to work here, much less be the head engineer of one their most ambitious projects, meant a lot to him. Cait could see that he was very proud of himself and of his work.
She loved seeing him light up. If it made him happy then it made her very happy.
