Prompt: Sendrick marriage proposal. Thank you xx
Brittany and Anna had only been living together for a few months. They'd been together for much (much) longer but couldn't decided on where to move to or when to move and who would get the coffee maker should they ever split, so they just put it off for a few years. Six years to be exact. Six years of Anna either never being at her place for months at a time or Brittany constantly juggling back and forth between Anna's. You'd think, after six years, that they'd have formed some sort of routine for this - they haven't. Six years. No routine. But they didn't need one. They were them, they functioned just fine (for the most part) the way things were and they were content.
The time ticked somewhere around 3am, last time Anna checked her phone, and their backs faced each other, both assuming they were fast asleep. Assumptions be damned, they were both wide awake. Anna wasn't particularly good at sitting still and Brittany wasn't particularly good at pretending she was asleep when she heard Anna call her from the other side of their bed. With an immature repeated "pssssttttt" and a nudge to the back with her knuckles, Brittany let out a muffled laugh into her pillow but tried to cover it as a snore that ultimately failed. "I know you're awake, asshole. You may be an actress but I'm not buyin' that overdramatic snore. Seriously if someone snores like that they should see a doctor." She scoot closer to Brittany until her nose was shoved into her hair and her lips by her ear. "You're totally awake right now, and I'm going to annoy you til you crack." she started walking her fingers up and down Brittany's spine and to no prevail, Snow was stone cold. Her next tactic was to start singing show tunes dramatically close to Brittany's face; nothing. Her last and final attempt at getting her to respond, one in which she didn't plan on using unless absolutely necessary, was to strip. Right in front of her. She got out of bed and walked around to the direction Brittany was facing. The plan then backfired after she'd realized all she was wearing was an oversized t-shirt so she threw it back on because there's nothing seductive to your half asleep girlfriend like an oversized "I Heart NY" t-shirt. "God dammit, Snow." she walked back over and climbed back in bed. She. would. win.
She just started talking, the whole reason she wanted Brittany awake, but if she really wanted to jump in she'd assumed she would. "So you're totally asleep or whatever but I'm talking anyway. Do you ever think it's weird that like, we've been together for so long and we haven't really even done anything." she chuckled lightly, "Well I mean, we've definitely done things ha, but whatever you know what I mean. We're still the same as we were six years ago only now we live together." she could feel Brittany take a deep breath so she stopped talking. She was hoping the blonde would roll over, but clearly she doesn't always get what she wants. She continued, "So basically I wanted to talk to you but you don't want to talk- which is fine, I just was hoping that you would but whatever we can talk about it later. Because that's what we do. We talk. And right now I just really want you to talk to me." her voice was getting quieter. "I mean like, we tell each other everything right? What we're thinking, what we're eating for dinner and even when we took a shit last," they both chuckled lightly at the latter. "Right now is one of those times where I just wanna lay here, at three in the god damn morning because both of our sleep schedules are fucked, with the love of my life and just talk to her about said life and what I'm feeling but, guess that's not happening." she sighed and rolled back over to face the opposite direction and seconds later she felt a hand grab hers and interlace their fingers. "I so win." she rolled over to face Brittany and leaned her forehead against hers.
"Oh please you don't win. You guilt tripped me."
"Whatever, I still win."
"Babe, you can't pull that shit and expect me to talk now."
"Oh contraire, Ms. Snow. I can."
"Whatever, whatcha thinkin' bout? What'd you have to talk to me about?"
"I don't know really." Oh, she totally knew. "I forgot." (lies). She rolled back over and threw a "G'night sweets, love you." and pretended to be falling asleep just to see what Brittany would do.
"Dude! No. I was sleeping and you woke me up, obnoxiously I might add, to talk. So now you're gonna talk. Go."
"I don't know what you're talking about." Muffled into her pillow.
"You're ridiculous." Brittany rolled back over and then scoffed at Anna's pillow smothered attempt at another "Love youuuuu" before crossing her arms and trying to actually fall asleep. Anna giggled quietly to herself before opening her mouth again. "I mean, we could still talk if you wanted."
"You're insane. Go to bed." the blonde groaned from the opposite side of the bed.
"I actually did have something to talk to you about, that I kinda just thought of but whatever, it can wait I guess." with no response from Brittany. "It was sort of? a big deal, but yeah it can wait." her voice was just above a whisper but not loud enough to be considered full volume. Brittany started to pretend snoring again in attempt to shut Anna up. Nonetheless, the brunette kept talking. She wasn't going to let this go. "I guess, what I was trying to say uh earlier was," she took a deep breath and rolled over so her eyes were on the back of Brittany's head. "Would you just fucking marry me already?" Brittany speedily rolled over to face Anna and at a whisper with tears starting to form in her eyes, "What?"
"You know, most girls say yes at this part. But then again, since when are we most girls ha." nervous laughter fading out. "Anna, I- yes. yes yes yes."
"Really?" the both had tears in their eyes.
"Yes, really. You're a huge pain in the ass and we're both going to be exhausted as hell tomorrow, but yes." Anna leaned forward and grabbed Brittany's face in her hands before placing a soft kiss to her lips. "I love you," then a kiss to her forehead, "so much." leaving her lips lingering against her skin for a few seconds. "I love you too." they both chuckled quietly and the current state of their faces, hair pointed in every direction and tears streaming down both of their faces. "You know, that wasn't actually how I planned on doing that, but I guess it worked out alright, huh?"
"You've been planning this?"
"Only for like, five months? but yeah."
"Five months? You kept this from me for five months?"
"Well what the hell did you want me to do? Tell you?"
"Ha, no I guess not."
"Damn, if I knew you were this hard to please then I would've waited another five and thought it all through a few more times, yeesh. Women, I tell ya." that earned her a slight shove and then a kiss from her newly granted fiancé.
"So what exactly did you have planned?" she asked while tucking one of Anna's hairs back behind her ear.
"Considering we aren't the most, lets go with normal, couple I didn't want it to be cookie cutter or cliche, and I knew I wanted it to be just you and me when I did it. I had it narrowed down between a few different things but this one was my favorite and the most 'us' and I didn't even plan on doing it here or tonight for that matter, but shit happens."
Tears welled up in Brittany's eyes again.
"Hey, hey hey. What's with the tears? I thought we already did that part." she said as she wiped them from her cheek. Brittany shook her head as to shake off the tears, "Sorry sorry. I'm fine. I just ugh. I didn't know you even ever wanted to marry me. I mean, we've been together for so long and after a few years and still not living together I'd just assumed we weren't ever going to get to, well here. But I didn't want to lose you and we'd talked about it before but I, I don't know. I just stayed."
"Are you kidding? I didn't know what you wanted that's why I waited so long. Hell, if we had it my way I would've had a ring on it four years ago."
"You knew then too?"
"I've always kinda known." she intertwined their fingers before having an 'ah-ha' moment and rolling over to grab something out of her nightstand drawer. "Hey, comeback. We're having a moment, dammit." Brittany pouted and refused to let go of her left hand so Anna had to do with what she had to reach into the top drawer before rolling back over to face Brittany. She held in her hands a small velvet box. Brittany let go of her hands in order to throw both of her own to her mouth to cover a small gasp. "Brittany Anne Snow, you're obnoxious and annoying and terrible at fake sleeping, but you're adorable, and beautiful and when you're not pretending to be sleeping you're overwhelmingly talented and I love you more than most foods, will you marry me?"
Brittany grabbed Anna's face and kissed her gently before pulling away and nodding and whispering "uh-huh" and letting Anna slide the ring on her left ring finger. Anna grabbed Brittany's newly decorated hand in her own and kissed it softly. Brittany whispered, "Now, about that little strip tease you did earlier? Any idea if there's going to be a second viewing?" They laughed simultaneously while pulling Kendrick's t-shirt off from the bottom up. "It can be arranged."
