Who: Rei Hino and Ami Mizuno
Where: A nice restaurant in the theater district
When: Salvation Week
What: Ami and Rei go out for a romantic dinner
Warnings: Ooey gooey mushy love nonsense
Summary: Ami is going to propose to the person who completely balances her

Ami took a deep breath, the tiny ever so important box in her clutch feeling like an Onyx in her pocket. Any second Rei would figure it all out and not only be annoyed but leave. She took another deep breath and knew if she worked herself into an even bigger tizzy, she was going to need to dive into a lake to calm down. She picked at the sheer fabric of her dress and worried a moment that she might be overdressed. No, no, it should be alright. The restaurant they were going to was used to such sights since it was right by the theater.

She checked at her watch, checked then to make sure that her earrings hadn't fallen out, even if they had backings to keep them in place, and she took a deep breath, eyeing her watch again even though they had thirty minutes for the reservation. She looked up, however, when she heard the sounds of heels on the shrine steps. Rei had likely been giving Yuuna some last minute instructions, though Ami had been very thorough in what she wrote down regarding each pokemon. She also even listed numbers to call should a nasty spirit decide to make itself present. She didn't want anything ruining this evening.

Her worries, well, most of them in any case, did seem to melt away when she saw Rei and she couldn't help but smile, reminded of how absolutely lovely in every way the priestess was.

"You look stunning," she said honestly as she leaned over and kissed Rei quickly.

Ami caught Rei's hand before she let the ring slide down all the way, far too happy to really let her polite tendencies interrupt her. She finished putting the ring on Rei's finger, kissing her and then kissing her fingers. She could cry, she might be crying. Was she crying? She might be.

Checkmate, indeed. Her hands were still shaking but she was smiling so wide.

"Rei! Rei you've made me so happy!" she wiped at her eyes before pressing another kiss to Rei's lips. Several of the waiters and patrons clapped for the young couple but they were Ami's peripheral.

"I love you."

Rei shook as Ami took her hand and helped her with the ring, her whole body ablaze with delight. And then they were kissing, and nothing else mattered. The people watching them, the applause of the staff and diners, the gods and spirits and threats to Union's safety? None of that mattered.

There was only one thing on her mind, now. And it was right there, right on front of her. She kissed Ami back, pulling away to rest her head against the other's.

"And you've made me happier than I've ever been. In my entire life, I never dreamed..." she laughed as she trailed off, happily kissing Ami once more. "I never dreamed I'd love anyone as much as I love you."

Taking a breath, she had to add, "And that proposal was masterfully done. How long have you planned it?"

She kept hugging and holding Rei, pressing her forehead to the Rei's and closing her eyes. Everything had come together, the perfect game. She smiled, though, when Rei asked how long she had been planning this.

"Well, you remember your missing ring? And how this one fits you perfectly?" she ran a light finger along the band of the ring. "Although I started thinking about it back in Glacier. Seeing you fly away on Olympus, I was terrified by the idea of never seeing you again. I've been planning and arranging since then."

Rei started piecing it all together, kissing Ami once more, this time with a bit more heat. "You...really are amazing. That long. You've been thinking this far ahead of me for months. I hadn't...really even more than daydreamed about asking you to marry me."

Another kiss, this time on the cheek.

"But I'm so, so ready."

"Well, a difficult game takes the utmost planning and care," she whispered softly in Rei's ear.

"And you are quite the opponent to play against," she smiled. "Your dessert is getting cold."

"I take it that means you're the one that took my ring, hmmm?" Rei whispered back with a sly grin before sitting and starting to slice the dessert in half.

"And my dessert? We're sharing. Like we do everything now."

"I palmed it at Soulfasting." She gave a small smile. "As a medic, I have to have fast and gentle hands. It came in handy when I needed it, but it's not something I'm going to be practicing and becoming more adept at." She laughed, having put the ring back in Rei's jewelry box.

"As for the dessert, the sugar flower is all yours, but I will share the rest."

"Oh you are a devil," Rei smirked as she sat back down, ready for the dessert, though nothing quite could taste as sweet as Ami's lips the moment she'd said yes. Honestly, she's not sure anything ever will.

"Thank you, love. For all of this. You...certainly know how to make me feel loved."

"Only when needed, I should think Yuuna's warning about what I was like as a tutor would have been a hint to that." She was notorious as the deadly tutor to all her students, but you never got better scores in your life then with her.

"Well, I love you so much, so it was just a matter of finding a proper way to show it."

"Well, I'd say you succeeded." Rei leaned forward again and planted a kiss on Ami's fingertips.

"I'll just have to properly show you how much I love you, too."

"Well, now that the hardest and scariest part is over, it should be much easier from here out. Though I can't say I've ever planned a wedding before, I'm sure I can read up on it."

"I can't say I'm experienced with it either but..." She laughed. "We'll figure it out. It'll be perfect."

"We'll talk details another day, for now, this is all I care about." She pressed a kiss to Rei's lips and another to her forehead.

"Same..." Rei answered. "Gods I love you."
