Couple

Raven opened her eyes with slight difficultly, she never had been a morning person. Almost instantly, she noticed a note on her dresser. The empath opened it, scanning its contents:

Dear Beloved,

Please accompany me on the roof at nine o'clock this morning. Wear something nice.

-Damian

Raven rolled her eyes, yet couldn't help but smile. It was their one year anniversary of being together. She picked up the carefully wrapped box and placed it on her dresser.

Raven walked over to her closet, trying to pick out what to wear. She opted for a simple black dress with a slit up the left leg. She quickly got dressed and grabbed the box, heading up to the roof to join Damian.

OoOoOo

When she arrived on the roof, Raven was slightly surprised by the sight. It looked like it was straight out of a movie. There was a fancy table filled with delicious-looking food and a candle lit in the center. Damian was standing in front of her in a tux. She couldn't believe he had done all this.

Wait, yes she could. Wayne men never did anything by the halves.

He scoffed. "Tt, took you long enough." He moved to sit down.

Raven smirked and mimicked his actions. "Happy anniversary to you too," she quipped. "Did you cook all of this yourself?"

Damian nodded. "I had Pennyworth guide me through it."

Raven smiled at him. "It looks amazing," she complemented. "You never cease to amaze me, Damian Wayne."

She thought back to the time he had done everything in his power to protect her; both from the League and her father. Though she hadn't said it back then, it had meant the world to her.

She had always thought that mortals were weak and arrogant creatures, incapable of doing anything besides destroy each other. Damian had been the one to change her mind. He taught her that mortals weren't all bad. He, surprisingly, had been the one to show her compassion and and kindness.

Damian's cheeks adopted a pink tint. "Tt, it's not that big of a deal, Beloved." he insisted.

Raven's eyes narrowed. "Of course it is." She handed him the box. "Open it."

Damian took the box, inspecting it. "Beloved-"

Raven groaned. "Just open the damn box, Boy Wonder."

Damian glared at her before taking the box and carefully unwrapping it. He took out a really nice silver watch and wrapped it around hus wrist. "This present is...adequate, Beloved."

Raven grinned. That was his way of saying thank you. "You're welcome. Now, let's eat." As expected, the food was delicious. She tried to savor each taste by eating slowly.

Halfway through, Raven noticed that Damian looked rather apprehensive. "What's wrong?" she asked. He was almost never uncertain about anything.

Damian gazed at her and she was startled by the intense look in his emerald eyes. "Raven, you know you mean everything to me..."

Raven smiled. "Of course. You mean everything to me too."

"And we've been together for a while..."

"Damian, where are you going with this?" asked Raven.

Damian took out a small black box and she gasped. "Raven, I love you with everything I am. Will you marry me?"

Tears welled in Raven's eyes. "How could you ask such a ridiculous question?" she demanded. "Yes, yes, yes!"

Damian smiled genuinely and placed the ring on her finger. "I love you Beloved."

"I love you too, Damian." With that, their lips met.

OoOoOo

Purple-Rose07: Nope, I'm not dead! *dodges chair* Hey! Throwing things is not nice!
