Hansel made sure that Abi had everything that she needed to keep Robin and Mina for the night. He kissed them both goodbye and then headed to the diner. He could cook but he didn't want to risk messing everything up and Isabel had been kind enough to make a meal for them. He then headed back to the apartment.

Getting Marian out of the apartment had been the hardest part. He'd wanted to set everything up so that he could surprise her. When he got back he had the table set with crystal candle holders and the best plates he could find. He put the food in the oven just to keep it warm as he went to take a shower and change. He needed for everything to be perfect.

Once he was squeaky clean, he changed into the clothes he'd picked out to wear for the evening. It wasn't fancy by normal standards but it was fancy for him. He then went to get the food out of the oven and set the table. He put a small red vase on the table with a single red rose and had silver candles in the holders, ready to be lit.

	Hansel's eyes locked on her finger immediately and he couldn't help but squirm in his chair for just a moment. He cleared his throat and took a long drink of his wine. "She's a great cook." He nodded, eating some of the potatoes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Marian plucked up a bit of potatoes, as he heard his chair protest as he squirmed. Sliding the tines against her lips she raised an eyebrow in question, but didn't ask. "She is, I have been tempted to see if she would teach me a few things. It wouldn't hurt to modernize the things I can prepare." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You're a very good cook." He smiled before taking another bite of potatoes. He did like the food she cooked for them. "I could use a few lessons myself, honestly. I'm used to campfire cooking." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I was too, it took some getting used to, but it's much easier once you figure out the proper temperatures to use." Marian gazed down at her plate, she had finished more than half of her meal before she noticed doing so. "I guess I was hungrier than I thought." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"That's alright. There's dessert as well." He smiled. He was taking his time eating his own meal. The nerves were starting to get to him. He wasn't used to being nervous about anything, but this was definitely a good reason. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You really went all out, is there an occasion that's slipped my mind?" Marian started to worry as she took up another piece of asparagus, treating it just as she had before. Though, because of his prior reaction she did suck on her fingers a little slower than she had before. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He cleared his throat and tried not to blatantly stare as she sucked on her finger. He then shook his head to clear it, but also to answer her question. "No. I just....wanted to surprise you. We haven't had a night to ourselves....except maybe once I think?" He chuckled. "I thought it would be nice. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Marian sagged a bit, with relief. She knew the month that they met was coming on quickly, but she didn't quite remember when exactly it was. "It is very nice. A very pleasant surprise indeed." She promised. Taking up her fork again and polishing off her potatoes. "And good." She groaned softly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hansel finished off his meal quickly after that, then got up and went over to collect her plate. "Would you like dessert now?" He had that hopeful little boy look on his face that begged for her to say yes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_night_watchman 2014-03-27 04:51 am UTC (link)
	Marian chuckled softly, unable to resist. "Of course. With a look like that I doubt I'd be able to deny you the world." She confessed softly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He blushed a little bit and leaned down to kiss her softly on the lips. "I'll be right back." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_night_watchman 2014-03-27 05:20 am UTC (link)
	"Alright." Marian took the moment he was gone to tug her hair free, and to use her napkin to be sure her face wasn't filthy. She was sure she was clean, but it never hurt to check. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hansel got the small cake out of the fridge and took a deep breath before taking it out to the table. "Isabel has been doing some experimenting with decorations and asked if we'd be willing to be her guinea pigs just this once." He set the cake down in front of her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Marian was a little surprised as he explained but when he set the cake in front of her, her hands came up and covered her mouth. Her gaze shifted from the ring, to his face, and then back to the ring. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Though he knew he might regret doing so, Hansel got down on one knee next to her chair. He took the ring from the cake in one hand and took her hand in the other.

"Marian. I know that we haven't been a couple all that long and it hasn't even been a year since we met, but I also know that I love you. Every day I love you more and more. The way you smile. The way you sing to our children." He took a deep breath and let it out. "You have made my life in this place so much richer for being in it. Would you do me the honor of being my wife?" His voice shook slightly at the question and if he hadn't been holding her hand and the ring, his hands would have been shaking.

Marian had to hold her lower lip between her teeth to keep it from quivering as he spoke. But it could only stem the tide so much, her lashes lined, even as a happy little sob bubbled up.

Words were beyond her, and she was sure after that speech that there didn't need to be all that many. So she nodded furiously. "Yes, yes, yes." She whispered softly. Her gaze dancing down to the hand he held.

	Hansel let out the breath he didn't even know he'd been holding. He smiled brightly and slipped the ring onto her finger, kissing her hand after he did. "I love you." He kissed her softly on the lips. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Marian dove at him, the moment his lips touched her own. Wrapping her arms around his neck, and kissing him soundly. Deep down she was worried this wouldn't last. But that didn't stay. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hansel couldn't keep himself from falling backwards as she dove at him, laughing softly as a result. "So I take it you're happy about this." He joked. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_night_watchman 2014-03-27 07:04 am UTC (link)
	Marian chuckled softly. "I am very happy about this." And covered his face in kisses. She was careful, and tucked her arms beneath his head. "How did you pull all this off? I had no clue." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hunterofwitches 2014-03-27 02:06 pm UTC (link)
	Hansel laughed as she covered him in kisses, then captured her lips quickly. He wrapped his arms around her middle and rolled so that he was laying on top of her. "The walks I took recently weren't just for my benefit." He kissed her again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_night_watchman 2014-03-28 02:13 am UTC (link)
	When he shifted them she chuckled softly. "Oh, so you were plotting too, hmm?" Marian teased, loosening her grip around his neck so that her arms simply dangled over his shoulders. She raised her left hand just enough to see the bit of sparkle on her finger. She felt a moment of guilt. But only allowed herself that single moment. Hiding it with an easy smile.

	hunterofwitches 2014-03-28 02:16 am UTC (link)
	He kissed her softly again. "I did need the walks, but I was plotting too, yes." He smiled, reaching up to move some hair back from her face. "I love you, Marian. More than I thought I could love anyone." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_night_watchman 2014-03-28 05:33 am UTC (link)
	"I love you too, Hansel. So much. So very very much." And with that the guilt was gone. It had been over a year, and Robin wasn't coming back. She had to move on. She did move on. To a man that wasn't afraid to say he loved her. Wasn't too prideful to let her know he cared. Marian lifted up just enough so that she could kiss him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	As he kissed her back, he shifted them so she was on top again, smiling up at her. "Perhaps we should get off the floor." He chuckled. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
