Aziel shuffled around Qrow's room, buttoning up his shirt before throwing on his nicer jacket and zipping it up. He stood in front of the mirror, biting his lip and turning from side to side. Suddenly from behind him, hands made their way around his neck to loop the tie around Aziel's neck and tie it into place.
"Thank you for helping me out, Qrow." Aziel spoke softly and looked in the mirror once more. He saw Qrow tuck some of the blond locks on his head behind his ear and smile. "It's no problem, Az. I wish ya luck, bud." He walked to his own dresser to pick up the bouquet of white roses with gentle care to give them to the inu. Aziel thanked him quietly and reached into his pocket with his other hand after taking the flowers to fish out a small velvet box. He opened said box, and sighed with relief that the blue-diamond encrusted ring was still there. "I am so worried...What if he says no? What if he tells me he doesn't want to be with me for that long?! You never know what he could say, he's so unpredictable..." Anxiety washed over the boy at the last moment, his skin heating up in nervousness and doubt.
"Aziel, first off, he is totally predicable. He is always in some way, kind of pervertish, annoying, and a complete and utter jerk." Aziel gave the male a slight glare, making the redhead gulp and chuckle nervously before continuing. "Second, he'll probably jump at the possibility to marry you. He does love you, doesn't he?" Qrow paused for a moment before shoving his friend forward towards the door. "Go get him, Az." Aziel smiled, blushing a light pink and clenching the box now in his pocket as he walked outside. It was a beautiful day outside, the sky was a clear blue and the air was warm. His outfit made him sweat a bit, since he had such a heavy jacket on. He pulled at his collar as he ran to the car, opening the driver's seat to jump in. Now, there was no going back; unless he went back with Rayne wearing that ring and as his fiance.~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
After getting out of his car and arriving at his shared apartment with his boyfriend, Aziel took a rather deep breath before walking forwards to the door. Now, the butterflies in his stomach began to flutter, making him shiver nervously. He stopped to check his phone, since before hand he had told rayne that he was on his way, and gulped quietly to himself as he unlocked his phone and went to their texts.
"I'll be waiting for u, Azie ;)"
This made the boy giggle and roll his eyes before shoving his phone into the pocket the ring wasn't in. He walked up to the door to open it, yet it was locked. He frowned, Rayne knew he was coming so why didn't he keep it unlocked? He just pulle dout his key and unlocked it, walking inside. Only, when he walked in, he saw Rayne sprawled out across the couch, the TV blaring, and Rayne in just his boxers. His hair was a complete mess, like he had just woken up, and he was scratching his crotch at that exact time Aziel walked in. Aziel stood frozen, making weird gawking noises from his throat.
"Sorry I didn't have the door unlocked, the door was too far away." The neko batted his hand at Aziel playfully then turned to get a good look at his blond boyfriend upside down. He saw that Aziel was wearing his fancy clothes and he instantly jolted up from his position and bit the inside of his lip. "Ah, so I didn't get the memo..." He ran up the stairs to their shared bedroom to get dressed into something more appropriate.
In that time, Aziel sighed and clenched the flowers behind his back tightly as he waited for Rayne to come back. He feared that the brunette wouldn't have been clothed, but he had wished that he was. At least some pants, Raynie. He thought to himself, even though he didn't mind. Just now, in these circumstances, he wished that Rayne would have been more considerate; even though he didn't know what was coming for him.When he returned, he was wearing a teal sweatshirt and jeans, his hair combed at least a bit to make it look decent at least. His hands were shoved into his pockets and he tilted his head at the blushing Aziel in front of him. "What's with the fancy clothes, Azie?" The Inu took a deep breath before letting his words spill from his mouth.
"Raynie, at first when I had met you, I thought that you were a self-centered jerk who just dated people for sport. And soon after that, I realized that I was wrong. You were really a caring person, who I loved so dearly. After our first fight, I couldn't describe how it felt to be back with you again and hold you in my arms again. And, I truly felt loved around you, and I still do. Not many people could make me feel that way, since a lot of the people in my life didn't really like me...But you did." He fought back his own tears as he neared the end. "Rayne, I am hopelessly and uselessly in love with you. I know this all sounds cheesy, but I swear it's true. Rayne, would you... M-Marry me?" He now was on one knee, the flowers raised in one hand, and the velvet box in the other hand; which was flipped open to show the ring inside. His face was also a deep shade of red.
Rayne stuttered for a moment, his eyes wide as he turned his head and covered his mouth with a hand to stop the almost choking sound from escaping his mouth. His eyes were glossy, and his lips quivered under his hand with a soft sniffle. "Are you crying, Raynie?" Aziel tilted his head as he stood up as he himself began to tear up. "NO! I-I mean... I don't cry; I've got something in my eyes..." His chest heaved as he pulled his hand down to his side, a wide grin plastered on his face as a tear dripped down his cheek finally. "No, I think your crying, Raynie." Aziel smirked, then made a slight yelping noise when Rayne engulfed him into a giant hug. "Yes, Azie, yes." Aziel hugged back, slightly being choked.
"Okay, Raynie, release." The blond choked out, chuckling softly as his tail wagged back and forth contentedly. Rayne still held Aziel tightly in his arms, slightly picking the taller male up and making him gasp. When he was finally put down, Rayne grabbed the collar of his shirt to press a kiss to his lips forcefully. Aziel didn't mind this, and returned the kiss for a short while until they had to break it to take a breath. For the next few minutes, they just stood there hugging. "Raynie, you have no idea how paranoid I was before doing this. I thought you would have told me no." Rayne looke dup at Aziel and furrowed his brows. "Why would you think that? I do love you, right?""Second, he'll probably jump at the possibility to marry you. He does love you, doesn't he?"
"Yeah; yeah you do. I love you too, Raynie." And with that, Aziel pulled his new fiance in to claim his lips in yet another kiss.
