Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans. This is a work of fanfiction, and I am not making any money off of this.
A/N: Instead of grading papers and going to bed on time, I am writing fanfiction. Yep. So, it is a little short, but it is something. Enjoy!
Don't ask me how, why, or where this idea came from. I blame it on cough syrup, exhaustion, sickness, and stress. This is really random, even for me.
Prompt: #91 – Answers
"There is a ring at the bottom of my tea cup."
"I know."
Raven blinked owlishly, tilting her head as her eyes examined the piece of jewelry shining at the bottom of the cup.
She looked at her green skinned boyfriend.
His eyes widened and head nodding a bit, as he waited for an answer.
Violet eyes went back to the ring at the bottom of her teacup. She tilted the cup towards, her head angled down to take a better look. Resting in the drops of her Earl Grey tea was a large pearl wrapped in a delicate silver band. Surrounding the pearl were a few tiny diamonds, illuminating the seemingly matt pearl. "There is a very expensive ring at the bottom of my tea cup."
Changeling tried to smirk, but his nerves kept his mouth in a firm line. "Yes it is." He sat up a little straighter.
"How exactly did this get in here?" The violet haired woman asked as she slowly lowered the cup, cradling it in her hands. She was still in his t-shirt that she had slept in the night before, nested in the navy comforter of the bed they shared.
He scooted a little closer to her. "I put it there." He told her in a soft voice.
Raven's eyes slide up meet his heavy gaze. "Did we run out of sugar?"
"No." His lips didn't even twitch at her attempted joke.
"Oh." She paused. "Alright."
"Is that your answer?"
"What?"
"Are you answering my question?"
She leaned away from him, staring at him cautiously. "You didn't ask me a question."
"I put a ring in your tea cup."
"You didn't ask me question."
"You are supposed to be the smart one in this relationship." The green man cracked. "Raven, there is a very expensive ring at the bottom of your tea cup. Let's make an inference, shall we?"
It wasn't everyday Changeling outwitted his clever half demon. She decided to blame it on shock and the ungodly morning hour.
"You're proposing to me?"
"Yea."
"At 5:30 in the morning?"
"It's actually 5:38 in the morning, but who's counting?"
"You put a ring in my tea cup."
"To ask you to marry me." He explained. "By the way, you still haven't gotten back to me on that. It would be nice if you, I don't know," He trailed anxiously. "Answered me."
She appeared to consider his question. "Why didn't you tell me?"
Or not. "That I was gonna propose? Are you serious?"
She looked at him with an unbelievable expression. "You put a ring in my tea cup!"
"An engagement ring!" Changeling admitted. "You still haven't answered me."
"You didn't ask me a question?"
"I figured you finding the engagement ring would suffice! What else would I need to say?"
"Some declaration of love and a question?" Raven assumed, shrugging her shoulders. "I have never proposed to anyone before."
He threw his hands up, exasperated. "Me either."
"Okay."
"Okay?"
"Okay."
"What?"
Raven stared at him. "I'll marry you." She answered gently, fishing the ring out of the tea cup."
"Alright." He smiled, tucking his hand under her chin pulling her in for a gentle kiss. Taking the ring out of her hand, he slipped it on her ring finger.
She pressed her lips to his, wrapping her arms around his neck. "In my tea cup, really?"
"It sounded good in my head."
"As most of your ideas do."
"Don't ruin the moment."
She frowned playfully. "Don't steal my line." She playfully swatted his chest. "You started this."
He couldn't deny that.
