I ate as fast as possible. As soon as I was done I threw on cloths and pulled Dimitri from the room. I was getting nervous. I hate when he leaves me hanging like that. Ugh. We walk out of guest housing and head towards the little park like area. There was a little open area surrounded by tree's with a small pond. It was incredibly romantic. Once we were in the cover of the tree's Dimitri took my hand. We walked hand in hand for a while until we came to a bench right on the edge of the pond. We sat and looked out over the pond, the sun was just setting, and it made a beautiful scene.
"so what did you want to talk about?" I ask when the silence starts to worry me. Dimitri looks at me with so much love in his eyes, I find it silly that I ever worried at all.
"Well Roza," he says as he slides off the bench and down onto one knee. My breath catches in my throat. "I wanted to tell you that I loved you unconditionally. I love every part of you, every part of your past, every person, place or thing that made you who you are today. I thank God for bringing me to St. Vladimirs and to you. I will never forget the moment I saw you through the window in Portland and thought, my that girl is beautiful. I will never forget the moment I started falling in love with you, that day in Stan's class, the first day you were back at the academy, the way you handled yourself with such grace and beauty. I knew then that I would never find anyone like you." He pulls out a little velvet box and opens it to reveal the most beautiful ring I have ever seen "And I was wondering, Rosemarie Hathaway, if you would do me the honor of being my wife."
I'm pretty sure I sat there with my mouth open for at least a full minute before I threw my arms around him, effectively tackling him sense he was still on one knee and screaming yes in his ear. We lay on the ground kissing for a few minutes before I remember that we are in a public area. I pull away and get to my feet, and Dimitri follows suit. Once we are both on our feet he takes the ring and slides it onto my fourth finger. It fits perfectly. I can't help the girlish sequel that comes from my mouth. He smiles and takes me in his arms again.
I can not believe this is happening. I have dreamed about it so many times, but figured that's all it would ever be, a dream. Guardians just don't get married, especially to each other. He was taking a serious risk to be with me, and I could not love him more for it.
"I'm glad you like it Roza" he whispers in my ear.
"It's perfect, of course I love it!!" I tell him sincerely. "I can't wait to tell Lissa!"
"Roza, I know this might not be the perfect time to tell you but we have to keep this quiet until you graduate, even though you are going to be eighteen soon you are still a student..." he trails off, looking as if he's worried I will be upset.
"Of course, I wouldn't want to get you in trouble. I am telling Lissa though" I inform him. He smiles a sheepish smile.
"well, she kind of already knows." I give him a confused look. "I saw her this morning, and I might have let it slip that I was going to purpose..."
"Why did you see her this morning?" I ask, still a little confused.
"Well.... I needed her to heal me..... " he tells me reluctantly.
"Oh My God, what happened? Are you okay? Why didn't you tell me?" I ask him frantically checking him for signs of damage.
"well, I might have asked your mothers permission to marry you..." He says hesitantly.
"You what?!?"
"Roza, it was the right thing to do. Even if you are not as close as some children with their mother, she is still your mother. It could have been a lot worse love. She at least said yes" He tells me quickly.
"But what did she do to you before she said yes" I ask him frantically.
"That doesn't matter. All that matters is she gave us her blessing. No matter what anyone else thinks, she's the one who matters" I will definitely be asking my mother what she did to him, but for now I let it go. I pull him back towards guest housing.
"Where are we going?" He asks, sounding a bit confused at the change of pace all of a sudden.
"To see Lissa!" I exclaim. Suddenly I realize just what she was so excited about this morning. No wonder she was blocking me. She is a sneaky one!
We make it to guest housing in record time, me dragging Dimitri behind me in my excitement to see Lissa. I bang on her door repetitively until she finally opens it. When she see's its me her face splits into a breathtaking smile. He asked you didn't he? She asks through the bond. I nod. We stare at each other for a few more seconds before we are both jumping up and down, squealing like little school girls.
"Oh my God, Oh my God, Oh my God" Lissa is chanting. She pulls us both into her room and closes the door before screaming "your getting married" right in my face.
"I know! It's crazy isn't it?" Then me and Lissa are hugging. "You'll be my maid of honor, right Liss?" She looks at me for a minute, then smiles again.
"Of course!" she chokes out, looking a bit emotional. Then we're hugging again and Christian is slapping Dimitri on the back saying something along the lines of "Congratulations man, now your stuck with her." I shoot him a dirty look, but am too ecstatic to really stay mad. I hear Dimitri say "I sure am. You know, your next now Christian." I watch Christians face flush, and enjoy his moment of embarrassment. Lissa voice comes from right besides me
"So when and where are we thinking?" She asks.
"We haven't really talked about it yet Lissa, we just got engaged like twenty minutes ago. It definitely won't be until the end of the school year. People can't even know until then. When we figure anything out, we'll let you know" I tell her.
"Great. Then we can start getting everything else ready! This is going to be so much fun!" She informs me, like we're five again and she's marring me off to her stuffed animals. I just smile and agree with her, its best not to try and dissuade her when she has her mind set on something. I just smile, and she asks a few more questions about how he proposed and looks at my ring, then we politely excuse ourselves. There is so much we have to talk about!

I tried to pour everything I have ever felt for her into my proposal. When she just sat there staring at me I got a little worried. It was at least a whole minute before she finally moved. "YES!" she all but screamed at me as she pretty much tackled me with a hug. I felt such relief flood through me. I get to keep her forever! Is the first though that really registers with me, then Rose's lips are on mine and coherent thoughts vanish. After a few short minutes she pulls away and pulls me to my feet. I take the ring and slide it onto her finger. The noise she makes then is probably the cutest thing I have ever heard, I can't help but take her in my arms again.
"I'm glad you like it Roza" I whisper in her ear. Shock was now setting in. After twenty four years of believing it impossible, i was going to get married, share my life with someone i loved unconditionally.
"It's perfect, of course I love it!!" She tells me with love in her eyes. "I can't wait to tell Lissa!"
"Roza, I know this might not be the perfect time to tell you but we have to keep this quiet until you graduate, even though you are going to be eighteen soon you are still a student..." I trail off, hoping she won't be upset with me ruining the moment.
"Of course, I wouldn't want to get you in trouble. I am telling Lissa though" she tells me matter of factly. I smile at her again. She is just too perfect!
"well, she kind of already knows." I tell her sheepishly. "I saw her this morning, and I might have let it slip that I was going to purpose..."
"Why did you see her this morning?" she asks, looking a bit confused. Man, I really didn't want to have this conversation now....
"Well.... I needed her to heal me..... " I tell her reluctantly.
"Oh My God, what happened? Are you okay? Why didn't you tell me?" She asks in rapid succession, not giving me time to answer, looking me over like shes checking for wounds.
"well, I might have asked your mothers permission to marry you..." I tell her hesitantly.
"You what?!?" she wails.
"Roza, it was the right thing to do. Even if you are not as close as some children with their mother, she is still your mother. It could have been a lot worse love. She at least said yes" I tell her before she goes on a killing spree, starting with me, ending with her mother, and taking down anyone else in her way.
"But what did she do to you before she said yes" she asks, a bit frantic.
"That doesn't matter. All that matters is she gave us her blessing. No matter what anyone else thinks, she's the one who matters" She gives me a doubtful look, then starts tugging me out of the park..
"Where are we going?" I ask, taken by surprise at her change of attitude so swiftly.
"To see Lissa!" she exclaims brightly. We make it to guest housing quite fast really, me in tow behind her, not that I mind the view, Rose does have an extraordinary backside. Next thing I know shes banging on Lissa's door, and then the girls are jumping up and down and squealing. I lose track of the conversation quickly and stay in my still stunned thoughts until Christian slaps me on the back to congratulate me on being stuck with Rose, and I can't help but agree that I am a lucky man and ask Christian when he was going to purpose. His face flushed and having done my part, I slip peacefully back into my own head, where I am still trying to comprehend that this amazing woman in front of me, wants to spend the rest of her life with me!
After a while longer we excuse ourselves. Lissa is still bubbling with excitement. Rose looks happier than I have seen her in a long time. Seeing her happy, make me happy. I'm glad I can make her happy, I'll have the rest of our lives to improve the skill!
So was that romantic enough?
seemed like something our lovely Dimka would do!!
i had another idea but maybe i will save it for the next couple who get engaged....
Anywayyy. Thanks for reading, and thanks in advance if you are about to press the green button and tell me what you thought of it!!
