The Question
They had been home from their ordeal for a little more than a week. Kristoff had spent a good portion of that -- when he wasn't checking on Cassandra and Scotty -- upgrading all of the Baxter buildings' defenses with great thoroughness.

He looks over his lab. Specifically at his most recently created...project.

At first, the shame welled up and he'd closed the box and shoved it in a drawer.

But that, he decided, was stupid. Enough hesitation. There would probably always be a good reason to wait longer. He slipped it into his pocket.

Then he fixed some tea. He brought it over to just outside the 'Lang Suite' of the building.

"Kristoff." Cassie smiled and gave her boyfriend a kiss on the cheek. She was going to give him a hug, but he was holding tea.

He smiled. "Hello. I was hoping you could join me?"

Cassie smiled back. "Of course." She turned and opened the door to her own apartment of sorts.

She couldn't help but notice that Kristoff seemed tense, or more so than usual. But then that wasn't really surprising after what they'd been through.

He set the tea service on the most appropriate available surface and poured them each some. "I hope the day has been going reasonably well for you," he says earnestly.

"It has. Better now that you're here." She took a sip from her tea cup.

To state unnecessarily for the record, it is a very good cup of tea. And rich in healthy antioxidants.
Kristoff has a sip himself before setting his cup down.
"I can understand that," he says quietly. "Everything is better when I am with you."

Cassie took Kristoff's hand. "Good because I'm planning on being with you for a long time."

After a long look, he smiled brightly at her. "As am I."
His free hand first reached for his tea again. He took another sip to delay just a moment and gather his courage, then set it down and reached into his pocket. "Cassandra?"

"Yes?" She was expecting something along the lines of the latest run down of what changes he'd made to the Baxter Building or a declaration that things were not going to happen as they had in that alternate future universe.

Clueless.

Yeah, that's not the future Kristoff wants to talk about.

Despite how very, very often in his life he's done it before, it takes a deep breath and a bit of force of will, this time, for Kristoff to kneel. He offers his tiny construction.
Synthetic diamond and thoroughly specially-treated titanium.

"Will you marry me?"

Oh my God.

He did it. She'd been waiting for this moment, ever since the firs time he'd proposed, and now he finally did it.

And in case it wasn't obvious from the way Cassie's face lit up the moment he knelt or from her grin, Cassie quickly answered. "Yes! Yes!"

Kristoff looks up at her somewhat relieved and absolutely happy.
Unable to say anything yet, he just kisses her hand before slipping the ring onto it.

Cassie finally took her eyes off Kristoff to study the ring.

"It's beautiful."

"I am glad you like it," he says as he rises, standing very close, then smiles. "I made it myself."

"You made it?" Dear God, she loved this man.

He smiles and nods. "Hydrocarbon vapor deposition. And I've alloyed unstable molecules into the ring itself to ensure you won't hurt your hand if you grow wearing it." His nerd accreditation demonstrated, he hugs her.

"I love you." Not content just to hug him, Cassie kissed him.

"And I love you, Cassandra. So very much." Kissing is nice.

After a moment -- a very nice moment, he tries to think sensibly and not just smile and hold her and...such. "There are a few things to consider now, I suppose." The first being how she wished to inform Scotty.

Well, Cassie would have liked to kiss longer, but that wasn't unexpected. Kristoff was one to want the details sorted out as soon as possible.

"Yes. We should tell Scotty together. I think he'll will take it well. You're all ready like a father to him."

To say that that statement means a lot to Kristoff is a considerable understatement, and it shows on his face. "Together, then," he says softly.

"Together." Cassie smiled and leaned in to kiss Kristoff again.

Very, very soon, they will need to tell Scotty, tell the others, start sorting out relevant matters carefully and thoroughly.

Right this moment, though, Kristoff's just going to give his beloved -- his fiancee -- what she wants for a little while.
