Everything was going exactly how he had planned. Robin had taken you out, saying she wanted you to ‘finally’ leave Steve’s side. When Steve met you, he knew he’d marry you; two months into the relationship, he wanted you to move in with him. He didn’t want to freak you out with his hopeless romantic side, so he waited.
Today, Steve had the day off, and he decided that he was going to ask you to marry him. Eddie convinced him to stop freaking out, that you weren’t like Nancy, and to just ask. Regardless of how scared he was, you both were perfect. You were his angel.
Having set candles on the table and a rose petal path to the bedroom, he had to wait. Robin had texted him that you were on your way home. God, he prayed this didn’t bite him in the ass. Hearing the door open and a ‘Steve, I’m home’ followed by a small gasp. He listened to your footsteps towards the bedroom, and once the door opened, you saw him.
He loved you, and seeing your heartfelt expression, he couldn’t help but smile like a fool. So, closing the distance between you both, he got down on one knee for you. Opening the small velvet box, showcasing the diamond-shaped ring.
”Honey, I have loved you since I first met you. I know we have been together for what feels like decades, and marriage might not be as important anymore, but I don’t want to just refer to you as my girlfriend. I want you to be my wife, my ‘Mrs. Harrington.”
