[Sun is grateful that it’s not an outright ‘No’. The fact that she wants to say yes is a big bonus. He reaches out to her hand with his free one and grabs it.]
Weiss. I love you without a doubt. I know, technically, we haven’t been together for a year yet. But..the time we spent in that dream was very real. We were very much us. Our time in this relationship together..our time dating.. .I just know for a fact that you are the woman I love. You’re the woman I want to be with for the rest of my life.
[He knows that with every fiber of his being.]I want to marry you. Even if it’s not today or tomorrow. I wouldn’t care if we got engaged and stayed engaged for the next few years, I just know I’m ready to take that step with you.
[He brings her hand to his lips and kisses it.] I don’t know why you won’t say yes. But you aren’t turning me down either, are you? I don't mind if you need time to think and make sure that this is what you want, I can't say that would be unexpected knowing the type of person you are.
[ That smile comes back as she listens, soft and a little less care-free now, but certainly warm. There's obvious love in it, and she holds his hand tightly as he speaks. Her throat is tight, but after a few moments she manages to speak up. ]
I have a nightmare.
[ Probably not what he wanted to hear, but before he can interrupt, she continues. ]
In it, it's morning and I can feel your hand holding mine but I haven't opened my eyes yet. In the back of my mind I know not to open them but I always want to see you so badly that I do it anyway, and the bed is empty. I assume you woke up early to go do something, but your shoes are still in the closet, so I go out to look for you, then I see you later that day and you don't recognize me more than Blake's "Ice Queen" friend. That's why sometimes you wake up and I'm just holding your hand and looking at you. I'm scared if I let go before you look at me, you won't be my Sun.
[ She knows this is something he understands, but Weiss has such a fear of being alone that it's a lot more crippling to her. And Sun.. Sun was there when she was at her best and worst, but that also means she's most afraid of losing him. ]
I've lost everyone but you. It feels like if I say yes, I'll jinx that. [ She laughs a little but it's hollow. ] Which.. sounds like an incredibly stupid when I say it out loud. You really don't mind if I take some time to think about it?
[Sun understood that fear all too well. He was broken up when Blake left. It took him a while to get over it. For the longest time, he wasn't looking for a relationship. But little did he know that there was a little seed of love in his heart, one that wasp planted there for Weiss. Overtime it grew and grew until the seed had blossomed. At the point, he hadn't been able to ignore his feelings for her. He had to act on them.]
I completely understand, Weiss. But that's even more reason why I want to do this with you. I think my biggest regret if you ever left would be that I didn't do this, that I didn't initiate this step with you. I don't want any regrets. [He stands up and moves closer to her and wraps his arms around her and gives her a big hug. He was hugging her because he loves her, he was hugging her because she confided her fear in him. He was also hugging her because he wants her to know he's still there and that he hasn't left her.]
I love you more than anything, Weiss. [He whispers into her ear before finally releasing her. He takes her hand once more and places the ring on her palm.]
Keep it. If you ever need a reminder of what I asked you, just look at this ring. If you ever need a physical symbol of how much I love you, look at this ring. I have no problem waiting for you to decide what you want to do. This is important and I want you to make a decision that you are comfortable with.
[ Weiss almost hadn't let him go when he stopped hugging her, but when he went for her hand she loosened her own grip a little bit to take it. Weiss closed her fingers over it, her other hand reaching up to hold Sun's hand over her own before she presses a soft kiss to his fingers. ]
I'll try not to keep you waiting for too long. Thank you for understanding.
[ She looks up at him and tries to quirk her lips up into a smile again. Part of her is sure that the fact that he's comforting her when he's the one whose proposal is on hold is probably more than reason enough that she should just say yes, but he also knows that she's the type who needs to think carefully and figure herself out before she commits to something like this. ]
I love you more than everything, Sun.
[ That sentiment of his though, that's something she knows she can echo. ]
[Sun would definitely be in need of comforting if she had said "No". He can live and be fine with her just placing it on hold while she thought about it. He places his hand lightly on her cheek and smiles. He leans in and gives her a small kiss before pulling back.]
Okay then. Dinner. Want to take our food and settle in and watch a movie? [Or catch up on some TV.]
[ Right now, Weiss kind of just wants him to keep holding her. But if they're watching a movie, they can do both. She'll just tuck herself under his arm and be his left arm any time he needs to use it. ]
Sure. I'll even let you pick what we watch. As long as it isn't sad. And no dog movies. [ Those are always sad. She loves them but no sad right now. ]
