Felt like I should do some prinxiety

Warnings: no probably not this is like just sappy and cute as always, they might not even swear

Roman was a romantic, that had always been clear for everyone to see, he enjoyed showering his partner with love and affection, using pet names, kissing, hugging, everything to show his boyfriend he loved him, and he'd never cared if he was being affectionate in public where people could see. He loved cheesy romantic movies full with grand gestures and cliches, and he adored the ideas of dates that was probably a little bit too extra.

Roman's vision of proposing had always been grand, him of course having bought an expensive and gorgeous ring, fancy dinner, moonlit walk outside, long speech about everything he adored about his partner, dropping on one knee to ask the question somewhere surrounded with flowers and lit candles.

Those had been some of his ideas and if he'd been asked a few years ago how he was going to propose his answer would have been something along those lines.

But as it turned out, that was not at all how him proposing was going to happen. Okay, nothing could keep him from giving a sappy and romantic speech, but he'd deduced that his proposal would have to be a lot more subdued than what he had always envisioned.

After all, a proposal wasn't all about him living out some romantic fantasy he'd had in mind since he was a teen, it was about asking his boyfriend of four years to spend the rest of his life with him, and therefore it was crucial to make it the proposal his boyfriend would be the most happy with.

Some might find it strange, but Roman had realized he actually didn't care at all that he was missing out on making the proposal extra and grand, because all he wanted was his partner, the love of his life, or otherwise known as Virgil Storm. No incredible proposal excited him as much as the thought of marrying Virgil, and his boyfriend was pretty different from Roman and he had definitely had to take that into account while planning the perfect proposal.

(It had taken a while of dating Virgil before Roman realized that perfect didn't have to mean grand gestures and public displays of love, which were both things that made Virgil the most uncomfortable.)

A public proposal, such as in a restaurant or any other crowded area, was a big no, it'd make Virgil feel anxious and slightly scared for their safety in case any homophobes were looking, and possibly like he was forced to say yes to not make an awkward scene in front of other people.

Roman really didn't want any of that.

A grand gesture was still possible, he could cover their shared apartment in lit candles like in Friends when Monica and Chandler got engaged (although, something told him Virgil would be nervous about the fire hazard, and when would he have the time to do all that when Virgil worked from home), he could stick small glow-in-the-dark stars all over the walls or cover the room with Virgil's favorite flower (purple Gerbera), cook or order a fancy meal that he knew Virgil loved and bake his favorite cookies (or, probably, ask their friend Patton to bake them, Roman was a disaster when it came to baking).

But he ended up not doing something like that either (although he did get a bouquet of purple Gerbera for Virgil, having sprinkled some silvery glitter on them too, because he simply had to).

Today was the day, he'd decided. He'd been planning it for a really long time even if the plan was really simple.

It was Saturday and they'd slept in late, taking a long while to sleepily cuddle and watch youtube in bed before getting up and making waffles for breakfast at twelve.
