winchester, sam. (ex_demonbloo908) wrote in wariscoming,

Am I not making you happy? Wait. What? Sam shot Ruby a confused look; brow furrowing, eyes dropping down thoughtfully, he bit down on his lip hard and went quiet until he realized where and when he had gone wrong. "No! Crap, no, that's not what I'm saying at all!" He reached for her hand and tugged it into his own, his fingers practically making her tiny hand vanish into his palm. "You make me happy. In fact, if it weren't for you I'd be a big, useless mess right about now. You mean the world to me, Ruby, I swear. That's why I wanted to have this talk with you. 'Cause we really have come a long ways and I do want more for the both of us. I'm not saying that I don't wanna be with you, 'cause I do. I really, really do. I mean, what I do mean is..." Complicated. Wow, he was really bad at this. Sam released another heavy breath. He could lie to hundreds of people convincingly for his cases, he could hold up his own in debate classes steadily enough to warrant an interest in a career as a lawyer, but Sam couldn't properly get his point across on a simple proposal? What was up with that?

"I love you," Sam repeated firmly, making sure to look Ruby right in the eye as he said it. "That's why I wanna do this. I want more, for the both of us. I want to be with you for the rest of my life, Ruby." Sam pulled the box he'd been gripping out of his pocket. If the Sam that had just walked away from college was sitting here right now, he'd be baffled. Here he was, five years later, proposing to a demon. The same brand of creature that he had trained himself to hate more than anything else in the world and Sam was about to commit to one. It was all kinds of wrong, yet Sam didn't care. He loved Ruby. She loved him. They had been through more good and bad together than most people could count on either hand and Sam wanted it to stay that way. Because no matter how bad it got, apocalypse and all, he knew that this was right. That if they were going to survive this thing, they would need each other. And if they got through the end of the world, Sam knew that there was no one else he'd want to keep on living with than her.

Sam stared down at the ring for long moment, knowing full well that there was no turning back now. But that was okay. Because now that he had the ring in his hand, Sam knew he could do this. He had gotten this far. He wasn't abandoning ship. It helped that Ruby could see it too; she had to know what was coming next. That meant she'd know. He wasn't out to break her heart. Sam was looking to do the exact opposite, if she would let him.

"I'm kind of bad at this," Sam admitted, looking across at Ruby with a nervous smile. "I thought I'd be better at it, even thought I'd plan a date out, but..." Sam shook his head. He'd go into that later. Right now, he needed to ask her. Sam pried the box open and presented it to her carefully, showing Ruby the ring that lay inside. His heartbeat kicked up a notch, pounding viciously in Sam's chest to the point where he thought it might well explode. God, he was so nervous. So nervous, in fact, that Sam found he had to stand up. He pulled Ruby to her feet with a hand as well, eyes locking with hers as he finally popped the question he'd been waiting to ask her for what felt like months. "Will you marry me?"
