The Proposal

When the two Titans arrived in their hotel room, they decided to go out for a late lunch after showering and changing. They walked by the river with Roy's arm around Raven's shoulders. There was a slight chill in the spring air and Roy kept her warm. There was a bistro by the river so they decided to dine there. They ordered their meal and were waiting for their food when Raven spoke.

"I'm going to miss Basel. It's a quaint, picturesque mini-city with great river views," said Raven as her eyes followed a couple of ducklings and their mother in the river.

Roy watched his companion and took a deep breath to calm his racing heart. "And I'm going to miss spending my days and nights with you," responded Roy.

Raven smiled, looked down and saw her rings. "It's odd, I have been wearing these rings the whole time so I don't really notice them anymore. But the mission is over so here you go," she said as she removed them and held them out to Roy.

Roy blinked. For some reason, seeing Raven remove the wedding and engagement rings greatly disturbed him. Then he knew.

"Keep them," he said simply.

"Roy, I can't keep these. They cost a fortune! I can't accept such an expensive gift," replied Raven, slightly shocked.

"Marry me," he said, his eyes never wavering from Ravens'.

Raven's jaw dropped, her eyes grew wide. "You're not serious, are you?" she asked, stunned.

"Absolutely," he said, face steadfast. "Marry me,' he repeated.

"I don't know what to say...Roy, this is totally unexpected...crazy, actually." Raven was dazed.

"Perhaps. But it doesn't change the way I feel. Think it over," said Roy with a smile.

The waiter brought them their food. Raven was so overwhelmed that she only ate a few bites. The rest of the meal passed with only light conversations but Raven was only thinking about Roy's marriage proposal.
