Valentine's Day Gala!


Being the defending champs gave the members of the Caerphilly Catapults many obligations, like being the MC's of this rather lavish evening...or, rather, the boys had volunteered Carys to do all the talking as they stood and looked cute in their suits. It was a job that she didn't particularly mind, she'd been in the spotlight all her life, but she grew bored of introducing generous donors and the big-wigs of the league. Carys knew about all the politics that went on behind the scenes, so she put on a good face, but was definitely not shy about voicing her opinion on certain matters.

"Oh, absolutely," she said to the head of the refereeing committee, "But when you've got one ref on the offensive side, and the foul's committed on the far end of the defense's area....I'm just saying, we should probably be taking advantage of--oh, what's it called?" Carys winked at the man, and at the reporter listening in, "--magic?"

She laughed when he huffed and excused himself, and the reporter shook her hand for the great sound bit. Carys gave a little twirl (her dress had too many ruffles not to twirl), and leaned over the counter to order another drink. The sound of something like an amused snort made her turn her head, and she raised her eyebrows,

"Something funny?"

Once he'd seen Psyke starting to head up to the stage, Tristan had started to wind his way through the audience toward the edge of the stairs. He'd taken care to try and make sure Psyke didn't catch sight of him, even though he did feel bad about his own measure of secrecy. He had done it for the same reasons Psyke had been telling him lies about why she had to stay in Greece and couldn't possibly come out for Valentine's day even if there was going to be a big gala and the Catapults were hosting it.

He stepped out onto the stage and tried to ignore the flashing -- Merlin, he was going to go blind and not even be able to get to Psyke to do anything, but ... well. There he was, taking steps toward her until he was close enough to take her hand.

"I hope you don't hate me too much for springing this on you in front of all these people. I really was planning to do this a little later, but I'd had things in my pocket and you showed up tonight..." All right, he was rambling. Time to cut that short, "...and it just seemed too perfect. Kind of like you, actually."

He cleared his throat. It wasn't really important whether the microphone picked this up or not - the whole spectacle was for Psyke, not some sort of media stunt.

"I'm sure you don't need me to tell you this, Psyke, but you are the most vibrant, exciting, wonderful woman that I've ever met. I knew it from the first moment I saw you. And I love you -- and Lavender -- too much to keep this in any longer. Will you marry me, Psyke Smith?"

If she said no now, he was going to be so very embarrassed.

Her eyes had been welling with tears the moment she'd set sight on the ring, and finally catching sight of Tristan almost pushed Psyke over the edge. He was proposing. He wanted to marry her! Her. Merlin's bloody beard, for someone who only four short years ago had never imagined she'd ever be married, let alone have kids, she'd done a pretty damn good job with the men who wanted her to be their wife.

Happy, happy, she was going to be happy for the rest of her life, and it was such an amazing feeling, one she hadn't felt in so long...Psyke had honestly never thought she'd reach this sort of euphoria again after Harper had died, but she'd managed to persevere, keep Lavender happy, and finally find a place to call her own.

Psyke couldn't hear the crowd or see the flashes of the camera as Tristan spoke. Her breaths became quick as she tried to keep some composure, but the moment he said that he loved Lavender too, Psyke couldn't hold back her tears any longer. He loved her, he thought she was wonderful, and he loved her baby girl, too. It was the most thoughtful thing Tristan could have said to her, even beyond the face that he wanted to marry her.

Well---she had to answer him, there were people waiting she realized as she snapped back to reality.

"Of course I will," she let out, handing him back the ring, because of course she couldn't put it on herself.

Tristan had been holding his breath more or less since he'd finished blurting out the question. Of course it had been a little awkward with how nervous he was, but -- well, it was worth it to see Psyke's reaction. He knew that she liked things dramatic, and it wasn't like he was going to get another shot like this in his lifetime as far as Tristan was concerned.

He let out a heavy puff of air once she finally answered, taking the ring from her and pausing for a moment. Ah, she'd said yes! That was -- well, he really had been pretty sure that she would accept, but it was a relief and a joy and a thousand other things. He slipped the ring onto her finger with a wide grin, immediately leaning in to press a kiss to her lips. It was much firmer than the tentative one that he'd given her earlier -- if she was going to be his wife he was pretty sure he had to get used to more public displays of affection.

"Great! So .. uh, I guess we should let everyone get back to the gala, huh?" Hopefully he hadn't somehow ruined everyone else's night. He could see it now: dozens of men not going to get laid because they weren't as romantic as that sweet young Quidditch player.
