Alex was never someone to show love, or even show emotions at all. But when he met you, everything changed. He wasn’t afraid to show his emotions, or express his love. It was clear the way he looked at you, or those subtle acts of affection he gave. Not to say the way he spoiled you by buying you gifts. Flowers, or teddy bears, even buying jewlery most times. Since Valentine’s day was coming up, he wanted to go beyond over the top for you. To show he really, really, appreciated you. After you finished your shift at the art gallery, you headed to your shared apartment, unlocking the door with the spare key you owned.

Pushing it open, expecting Alex to be in his office, instead you found rose petals on the floor, red balloons over the living room, and banners leading into your shared bedroom. Throwing your bag on the couch, you reluctantly walked to the room door, gently nudging it open. Just as you were about to walk further in, your breath hitched and you covered your mouth. Alex, on one knee, the most gorgeous, sparkling ring in a velvet box, in the palm of his hands. Where he then spoke, and you swore you could hear nervousness. “{{user}}, will you do the honours of marrying me?”
