~.: Jared's POV :.~
Pacing back and forth absent mindedly as I turned the ring box over and over in my hands, I almost didn't hear the loud screaming in the other room, one of the voices belonging to Acacia. I hurriedly thrusted the ring box into my jeans pocket before rushing toward the main room where my girlfriend, soon to be fiancé, was trying to electrocute the new girl who joined the team not even a few days ago. According to the team, Lexie fucked up big time during her first mission a few hours ago and called in Nightwing and Spade for backup behind Acacia's back. Not the wisest decision, kid. I thought to myself, striding past the couch to pull Acacia away before she could really hurt the poor kid while Tim shielded Lexie from anymore lightning bolt attacks.
"Let me go, I wanna beat the shit out of her for what she said to me!" Acacia snarled angrily as I carefully picked her up and turned to carry her back to our bedroom.
"Thanks for saving me! Although she probably couldn't have even done much harm since Nightwing would've been pissed off if he found her hurting me!" Lexie called out in a shaky taunting voice before Tim hushed her and lead her over to the couch as Acacia grumbled furiously, straining against my grasp as she tried to fly over my shoulder to get back at the blonde.
"Just ignore her, babe," I chuckled softly, using one of my hands to cup her face and bring it closer to mine before placing a kiss on her lips, "I've got something important to ask you in private anyway~"
At those words, Acacia instantly calms down and grins mischievously, "Is that so?~" She purred, curiously cocking her head as we made it into our room. I nodded in reply, returning her smirk as I quickly shut and lock our bedroom door behind us.
"I wanted to ask you earlier but you were on that stupid mission.." I grumbled softly, rubbing the back of my neck irritably before reaching into my jeans pocket and pulling out the ring box from earlier. Her eyes widen to the size of porcelain plates as I open the box to reveal the diamond ring I managed to purchase for my proposal and I smile lovingly at her as I get down on one knee, taking one of her hands in my free hand as our gazes met.
"Acacia Nicole Drake," I began in a gentle tone of voice, so as not to wake the sleeping twins in their cribs, "Will you-"
"YES YES YES," Acacia squeals in a whisper-screaming kind of tone, "A million times yes, I'd love to marry you, Jared!" She giggles, not even bothering to wait for me to get off the floor before she tackles me and pins me down beneath her. I laughed amusedly at her reaction and pulled her into a passionate kiss before slipping the ring onto her finger.
"You have no idea how long I've waited for this moment," I breathed, closing my eyes as I pressed my forehead against hers while my hands rubbed small circles into her back as she snuggled against me, cooing in content.
"Me too, Jare-bear~" She whispered back in response, nuzzling her face into my chest before shyly glancing back up at me with a blush covering her cheeks, "Octavia and I... we actually had a bet about who would propose to who first, haha!" She hid her face in embarrassment when I raised an eyebrow at her.
"Did I win?" I chuckled, smirking arrogantly, "Or am I gonna get punished for not proposing fast enough to the love of my life?" Acacia puts a hand to her chin as though considering her options before shrugging as she sits up on my lap.
"I think you're gonna have to be punished~" she giggled, licking her lips as she rubbed her hands along my chest before pressing her lips to my neck and leaving a fresh hickey on my skin, causing me to moan softly, my arms tightening around her waist as I held her closer to me.
"This is gonna be fun~" I chuckled huskily against the outer shell of her earlobe as she slipped one of her hands down to the hem of my jeans after tossing the ring box away from my grasp.
~.: De's POV :.~
The sight of Aria tumbling off the pyramid to the cheerleading mat below made me gasp in alarm, sitting upright between Dick and Wally who were both wearing the same anxious expression. Within seconds, several of the people surrounding us rushed toward the hurt cheer leaders while Chelsea merely watched casually from the side lines. Hot irritation bathed my senses as I got out of my seat to give her a piece of my mind before she left the area, Dick grabbed my hand gently and shook his head in disapproval.
"Don't even think about it, babe," he warned as I sighed in defeat before glancing hesitantly toward the cheerleading mat where a few paramedics were already gathered. Wally nods in reluctant agreement before getting to his feet as he sees someone approaching Aria as she's being led out of the room.
"Wait... who the heck is that with Aria..?" He murmured confusedly before dashing towards the crowd without another word, Amelia in his arms. Dick and I exchanged confused glances before following after him.
