Waiting on a Knight in Gold Armor
Not long after breaking the connection from Riley and Max, Dinah has set a land-speed record for getting ready for a date. A short time later, she was waiting outside the restaurant for Riley.

She checked her watch.

For the third time.

"You'd think time travelers would know not to be late..." she muttered.

She really hoped Riley hadn't done anything crazy with Max.

...Okay, he probably hadn't.

Probably.

	It doesn't take long for Riley to arrive, looking slightly tired, but clean and immaculately dressed. He lights up with weary joy at seeing her, wrapping his arms around her waist and kissing her. "Hello you." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Okay, all paranoia is forgiven. Dinah returned the hug and kiss. "Hey yourself, future-Riley." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He blinks. "Wait, what? How'd you know? I know I remembered to shave..." He checks his face for stubble with one hand. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Okay, one, I know you. Two, I know how you think. Three, my mom is one of the world's greatest detectives." Dinah gave him another kiss. "Five, your watch says it's Monday." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Riley glances at his wrist. "....you are so hot." He kisses her forehead, then escorts her inside. Dinner is delicious, and peaceful, and while they're waiting for desert, Riley seems to get slightly edgy. "Got a surprise for you..." He takes out a box and passes it across the table to her. It's nearly flat, and only a few inches square on each side. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah, well, we already knew that." Inside, Dinah's face lit up with surprise. "A present? ...It's not our anniversary, is it? Because I swear I have that written down in my KordBerry..." She opened it, revealing a watch. She peered at it, noting it was inscribed. "Oh? Now what does this say..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I know you do. You keep track of everything." Riley smiles. Inside the pocket-watch's lid, in fine lettering - 'This watch contains all the time in the universe. Let us spend it with each other.' (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh my God, Ri..." she began. "This is... this is wonderful!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Riley is, by now, out of his seat and on one knee. He takes out another box and opens it for Dinah to see. Inside is a ring that should have burned up in a crashing spaceship a few centuries in the future.

"I'm sorry that I don't have any kind of speech for us to look back at and laugh at later. You just make all of the details fall away.

Dinah Kord, will you marry me?"

...yeabutwut?

Dinah's eyes went wide, and her heart seemed to skip a beat.

They'd been best friends since they were in diapers. There was no one who knew her better. Through thick and thin and time travel and zombies and everything in between, they'd stood by each other. It had taken them far too long to realize that that they were more than friends, that they were soulmates.

"Oh, Ri... yes. A thousand times yes."

	Riley slips the ring on her finger, with maybe a little bit of effort (note to self: resize it later), then just reaches up and takes her face in his hands and kisses her. A few nearby tables offer polite applause. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dinah held that kiss for a long time. "Here's to infinite possibilities, Ri." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You could call it that." Riley grins, holding her face and nuzzling his forehead to hers. "...so... who do we tell first?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Telling The Team (and etc) boosted_gold 2013-04-20 06:24 pm UTC (link)
	"I'd like to thank you all for showing up on such short notice, and a few of our guests." Riley smiles at the Titans, and a few of the JLI brats in attendance, holding Dinah's hand. "Dinah and I have an announcement." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Ash has a few ideas what this could be about. Alien invasion, team building exercise.... Riley lost a big bet. None of them involve wedding bells. She will be surprised. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Robert watched as Riley and Dinah prepared themselves to tell everyone their announcement. He could feel the emotions swelling, but even then wasn't sure of what they were going to say. These were the emotions he always felt coming off of Riley and Dinah when they were around each other. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Max was still far from amused by recent events, but he couldn't help but laugh a bit at Pippi's statement. As one of the few in-the-know, he didn't show any hint of anticipation. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
