Artturi Lehkonen ~ MTL

The ring is in the glass of champagne... (805 words)

"Happy anniversary, darling," Artturi smiled at his long-time girlfriend, Y/N and greeted her as she entered their shared apartment. "I got us a dinner reservation to one of the fanciest restaurants in the city of Montreal. Meet me here in twenty minutes, I got an outfit laid for you upstairs you can wear to the dinner."

"Happy anniversary to you too, sweetheart." She kissed his cheek, walking past him and sprinted up the stairs to go to the bedroom. Once she walked into the room, she saw a F/C dress that suited her well, laying on the bed along with the black heels that went with the dress.

Not going to lie, he did have a good sense of fashion and she was impressed with the outfit that he had laid out for her.

"Do you have the ring with you?" Nikita spoke through the phone and Artturi nodded his head, even though the Russian couldn't see it. "Are you nervous at all?"

"To be honest, I am a little bit," Artturi replied to Nikita's question, looking down at his watch, meanwhile Y/N was walking down the stairs with the heels in her hands.

As soon as she reached the bottom of the stairs, she slipped on the heels and walked over to where her boyfriend was standing and she was behind him.

Y/N wrapped her arms around his waist, kissing his temple as a display of affection.

"I'll call you back later, Nik. I'll let you know how it goes-" Artturi quickly mumbled into the speaker before the call was hung up by Nikita. He turned around to face Y/N, a breathtaking smile lighting up on his face.

"You look very handsome, Artturi," Y/N smiled back at him, pointing out his navy suit; dress shirt, tie, suit jacket, dress pants and all.

"And you are very gorgeous, Y/N," he replied back to her, placing a tender kiss on her forehead. "Shall we head out to dinner? Our reservations are in 25 minutes..." He held his hand out for Y/N to take, which she accepted and took his hand in hers.

"These last few years have absolutely been the best years of my life." Artturi chuckled to himself as he took a sip of his glass of champagne. Y/N's eyes sparkled as she was looking forward to what he had to say. "You have been there for me through my good moments and my bad ones. You've always been supportive of my hockey career and I've been supportive of yours. You always know how to comfort me and I love everything about you, Y/N..."

Artturi got up from his seat and walked around to where Y/N sat and kneeled down on one knee, grabbing a velvet box out of his suit pocket and opened it up. Only to find a magnificently beautiful diamond engagement ring inside the box. But, I didn't care about the beauty of the ring. I cared about the person in front of me who I am in love with and no diamond would ever change that.

"...I don't want to be your boyfriend anymore, but your fiance and later, your husband. Will you do me the honor and marry me, Y/N?" Tears started to well up in his blue eyes, meanwhile, tears of joy were already falling down her cheeks.

Being at a loss for words, she nodded her head and instantly, his mouth curled up into a smile. He shakily started to go to slide the ring onto the ring finger, yet he somehow managed to drop the ring in the glass of champagne.

Gently grabbing the champagne flute, Y/N observed the ring and gave a look of reassurance to him, before gulping the bubbly and fizzy drink down before stopping when she tasted the cold hard metal in her mouth. Spitting the ring out of her mouth and into her hand, she took the handkerchief and started to wipe the ring to the best of her ability before handing it back to Artturi with a smile on her face.

"My answer is yes, Artturi. A million times yes." She hiccuped, covering her mouth with her hands as a display of shock before she gave him her hand for him to slide the ring onto. "I love you so much to Pluto and back, Artturi."

"And I love you..." Artturi kissed her hand gently before placing a passionate yet sweet kiss on her lips; their first kiss as an engaged couple. "...So damn much that it hurts, Y/N."
