"And this time, there's no way for you to make me evolve again," she teased with a very content smile. Not that she minded how she ended up evolving by any means. "A nice little trip to both, I'm eager to see what other pokemon are up in Glacier as well. Mercury is such a little sweetheart."
Their soup and salad came not too much later, and the two women were treated with the utmost care by the wait staff. While Ami didn't let it show, the ring became like an itch. She wanted to bring the ring into play after things one of them might have said. Rei even mentioned something and Ami almost worried she had finally figured out what it was this was all for.
But Rei didn't seem to catch on about what this was all really about, even up to dessert.
Rather than bring Rei a menu for dessert, Ami had asked that Rei's favorite be prepared with an edible white casablanca sugar flower with a small non-edible pillow for the ring. Ami had excused herself but rather head to the restroom, she stepped out of view by the kitchen and placed the ring on the pillow. She took a deep breath and wondered if this was a bit much... but still. She told the waiter to give her five minutes before bringing it over.
Ami returned, her hands for the first time on their own feeling a bit hot. What if Rei said no? What if she thought they weren't ready for such a thing?
She took a deep breath and smiled at Rei.
"I hope you're ready for dessert, I have something special planned. Actually, I'm sure you of all people have noticed that this whole evening has been... well, extravagant?" she gave a small nervous laugh. She could do this. She just needed to move all the right pieces into play. She reached out and took Rei's hand into her own, linking their fingers, trying to hide her shaking hands.
"But there is a reason for that," she took another deep breath. "Rei... the reason for... well, all of this, is because- you just... you make me so incredibly happy. I've never known as much happiness when I'm with you, and as deep a fear as when I think about what might happen when we're apart. You are my equal, not just in element, but in everything. You... balance me. You remind me not to be so serious, to allow myself to be more passionate and that it's alright to be more open about things. You're absolutely brilliant, savior, your brain," she took a deep breath, trying to stay on task.
"That is... there's so much about you I love and my life has been so different with you in it, brighter, richer. I mean, you became my friend after one of the most embarrassing introductions in my life!" She watched the waiter come towards them. "And despite that, you've been someone who has supported me and fought beside me. I don't know what is to come in the future, but I do know, I never want to know what it will mean to not have you in my life. What I'm trying to say... what I'm trying to ask is..."
The waiter set down the dessert in front of Rei, the ring sitting brightly on the pillow in the center of the sugar flower.
"Rei Hino, will you continue making my life as bright and passionate as it could possibly be? Will you- w-w-will you marry me?" her face was vibrant purple and she felt like she was going to faint if not shake right out of the chair as her breath held and she was actually- oh sweet savior, what if she Rei said no? Was the speech bad?
