Callie had a bad habit of leaving her cell phone in random places. Arizona had a bad habit of changing Callie's wallpaper to something funny when she did.
It was something that started when they weren't yet living together and continued when they moved in together. Even through all the breakups and do overs it kept happening. And now that they were back together in New York? Yup, it happened again.
Callie never commented on the changes to her wallpaper and Arizona never admitted to doing it. It was something both enjoyed but neither admitted happened because that would somehow break the magic of the action.
Two months after she moved in with Callie, and six months after she came to New York in the first place, Arizona had already changed Callie's wallpaper a half dozen times. Some had been random things Arizona had taken photos of in the city, some were of Callie around the apartment, some were cute animals that Arizona found on the internet.
Yet when Arizona picked up the phone to change it, Callie in the shower after she worked out in the apartment building's gym, she didn't have the heart to change it.
Looking back at her was a photo she hadn't seen in a long time. It wasn't really that remarkable a photo in the grand scheme of things. Her hair was starting to come out of her ponytail and she had no markup on. Callie's hair was out of its ponytail and had marks in it from hours up. The two women were sitting on a coach in one of the then Seattle Grace-Mercy West attending lounges. Callie had an arm around her shoulders and both were smiling at whoever took the photo. She thought it may have been Mark but couldn't remember now.
Her eyes found the wedding bands on both of their hands and her eyes went to her naked left hand. She ached to have the feeling of a ring back there. But she knew it was too soon to bring that up. Things had gone so well she didn't want to change the dynamics too quickly.
She didn't hear Callie come up behind her but when she felt a pair of strong arms around her middle, she leaned back against her girlfriend turned wife turned ex-wife turned girlfriend's strong frame.
"I was cleaning out some boxes and found Mark's old phone," Callie whispered as she rested her chin on Arizona's shoulder. "It was saved on his camera roll and I liked it."
"Send it to me?" Arizona requested in a quiet voice.
"Okay," Callie said before turning her head to nuzzle Arizona's neck.
Arizona leaned back a little more as her eyes closed at the simple gesture. There was a time she was sure she would never have this back and yet here they were. Together again, stronger as people and a couple, happier than they had ever been.
"Calliope?"
"Yeah?"
"One day, sometime in the future when we're ready, do you think you might like to marry me again?" Arizona asked as she opened her eyes to look at the photo again.
"I think you'll know," Callie whispered before nipping her neck.
Arizona let out a laugh before carefully turning in Callie's arms to kiss her. Yeah, for now the photo would stay.

Prompt: Arizona likes stealing Callie's phone to change Callie's phone wallpaper into something stupid (like unattractive pictures of Callie's face or doing something like picking their nose). Arizona is doing another routine swipe of Callie's phone, but doesn't have the heart to change it because this time because Callie's phone wallpaper is a cute picture of the two of them (like their first date together, or the only picture they have together).
