  Sitting across mick I watch him shift uncomfortably in his seat, he hated nice restaurants but he insisted that we go to one on Valentine's Day every year.

  "I hate monkey suits" He grumbles

  "Please I know you like the old 1950s look, which to my amusement has everyone's attention again, obviously they don't know good style" I say smiling

  "If their looking at anyone it's you Len" Mick says eating another breadstick as we waited for our food

   I watch him eat captivated by every movement of his face and jaw as he eats

   "What?" mick asks looking at me

  "Nothing I'm captivated by you"

  "Don't blame you there"

I laugh and get a chuckle back as the waiter comes back with our food and table side entrée cart, obviously Mick had ordered table side appetizers and I didn't notice but I could see why as the waiter was already showing his skills at working a flaming skillet.

   I watched the flames jump and dance, just like the fire inside Mick did when he allowed himself to use his powers.

    I turned and looked at Mick as I heard shuffling and notice that he's putting on his fire proof gloves, though he doesn't need them, and stands up and reaches into the fire, the action now stirring the attention of other patrons but I ignored them and just quirked an eyebrow as he pulled out a ring that looked as if it was just a dance of fire and Ice.

And that's when it happened, he got on one knee in front of me

  "Snart will you marry me" he says simply and sheepishly, to anyone else it might of seemed plain and dull but to me it meant everything, the fact he went through all this trouble and did it in such a public place made me know this man would do anything for me no matter the cost.

   "Of course" I drawl keeping it casual and that earns me a grin, and the happiest look I've ever seen in his eyes, it's not long before he slides the ring which somehow isn't even hot onto my finger, and kisses me

  I could hear clapping and awing but the only sound I cared for was the sound of Micks breathing and the heat of his mouth

  After the kiss broke he stood up "now to eating and drinking" he says raising his glass like he's some lord and I grin and watch him eat awhile before turning to my own food and watch the dancing swirl of fire and ice on my finger the whole time I eat.
