The soles in Dick's shoes were probably screaming for a break if they could be sentient for a second. But he couldn’t help it! It was Valentine’s Day! And a Valentine’s Day, he wanted to make the best Valentine’s Day ever. And that started with making the morning before his dear partner-- maybe soon to be fiancé, even woke up. Breakfast in bed, borderline smothering with his romantic gestures, a cute couple walks with Haley after, and getting a nice bath for them while he gets the last surprise ready. The ring felt like it was burning through his pocket.

It was so hard not to just blurt out the question! He knew he wanted to do this for so long, and now he's just too excited not to just run into the bathroom and ask his partner immediately. Haley, who sensed his nervous energy kept trotting around after him, yippying at his feet as if to scold him. "Come on, Grayson. You got this... it's fine. They'll say yes." He mutters to himself, taking out the ring to lay flat against his palm. But then the thought struck him hard. What if they said no? He'd still love them, and respect their decision, but the small part of him was terrified of the rejection. When the bathroom door opened and the movement of his partner getting dressed in the shared bedroom, he felt his heart palpate. Oh no, he couldn’t do it.

But it all faded when they stepped out of the bedroom, all dressed up, looking like a walking deity in front of him. And in that moment, it was okay. Dick was on one knee before he could talk himself out of it and the speech he spent weeks preparing was forgotten. "Marry me, {{user}}..." He whispered as if it was a breath of air, looking up at them with the biggest eyes. "W-Will you marry me?"
