Summary: Sometimes not having expectations met is a good thing.
Favorite Song
The club was small, intimate and dark without being too oppressive. The meal was fantastic, pasta and seared chicken with a pesto sauce and a tiramisu for desert that was to die for. The music accompaniment was just as tasteful. The PA system not too loud and the acoustics carried perfectly over the space. Willow couldn’t have been more pleased.
She looked to her left and watched Buffy, head propped on her hand as the singers on stage gave a stellar, stripped down version of Colbie Calliat’s and Common’s single, Favorite Song. Her girlfriend was stunning in the light pink cocktail dress she put on for tonight’s outing. Buffy’s hair was swept up off the back of her neck in a French twist. The earrings her mother had given her a few years ago sparkled from the candle flame’s light.
Willow swallowed and decided that it was now or never. She brought up the hand twined with her own, a hand that was surprisingly smooth despite her lover’s job and kissed a few knuckles that were a little more prominent due to said occupation. Punching things did stuff to your hands, but as her lips grazed over the skin, Willow knew it was okay. Those knuckles were attached to Buffy and that meant they were perfect.
“Y’know,” the witch started out, speaking only loudly enough to be heard above the music, “when we…when we decided to try together, I was half convinced that we’d break up within a year.”
The confession tore Buffy’s startled gaze away from the stage and to her girlfriend of the past five years. “Will?”
The redhead smiled, softening Buffy’s worry. “We didn’t though. We’re still here, together and still us.”
“I like us,” Buffy admitted as well.
Nodding, Willow smiled. Her heart hammered in her chest as she untangled her hand from Buffy’s and pushed back from their table. She reached down and palmed the box resting at the top of her purse. Thankful that she chose slacks tonight, she slid to bend on one knee beside her girlfriend.
Buffy’s eyebrows hiked up as she watched Willow below her. She saw the box and then everything sort of faded for her.
Everything except Willow.
“I, uh…” Willow swallowed and tried again, “I like us too. Buffy, I know we’ve had the ups and the downs, but that’s okay ‘cause it’s expected. We’ve been through so much together. I can’t really imagine my past without you; the present would be empty and the future unimaginable. So…” Willow opened the box to reveal the solitary princess cut diamond engagement ring nestled against the black velvet. “Since, I can’t have a future without you in it, would you make the happiest witch in the world and marry me?”
Neither girl noticed that the music had stopped and they had garnered the attention of nearly everyone at the club. They didn’t hear the applause and hollers as Buffy nodded and Willow tore the ring out of the box to slip on her fiancé’s finger.
