TITLE: Pre-Marriage Jitters WHO: Jason Reeves, Clover Klein RATING: PG  FOR:  @outfromthesea​. but anyone can read. i don’t mind :D just don’t be mean to me lol NOTES: jason wants to propose to clover in paris, france. but then a storm cancels their flight and they end up staying at one of his grandfather’s hotels.  

Jason was thankful that his grandfather let him and Clover stay in the Penthouse Suite of one of their many family owned hotels. Originally, Jason wanted something small and cozy, and he had calmly argued with his grandfather that something as huge as a Penthouse Suite was unnecessary. With his grandfather Ivan being his grandfather Ivan, he ended up staying in the suite his grandfather wanted anyway, and surprisingly Jason ended comfortable due to it - or rather, as comfortable as someone who missed their chance to propose to the woman of his dreams could be. 

The journalist was incredibly antsy - walking back and forth, tapping fingers against his thighs, not quite focusing on what Clover was saying when she was talking to him - and he hadn’t gotten the opportunity to just sit back and relax. Clover attempted to get him to relax by kissing him up and down his neck and behind his ears, but even then he was still out of his element because he hadn’t proposed to her like he planned to. 

There would be no Eiffel tower proposal , no romantic dinner at one of his great aunt’s homes. There was just the two of them in a really nice hotel. He knew he should feel lucky that they had that and their vacation hadn’t been completely ruined, but it still sucked ass that he hadn’t gotten to propose. And worse, Jason felt so bad about it that he kept the ring in his pocket throughout their stay there

He was just about to put his hand in his coat pocket to feel at it again, but then Clover wiggled her hand out in front of him and told him to take it, and obediently he did. “We should go for a walk. You seem off,” she told him with a soft smile, gently caressing his cheek when he stood beside her - her a few inches taller than him due to her boot choice. “We had drinks, we ordered room service, and we  watched some forensic files. We even fucked a few times, and you still seem like you’re off on some other planet.” She gave him a kiss on the cheek, making him ease his tense shoulders and tight jaw. “Is everything alright?”

“The cancellations bummed me out a little, I guess?” He admitted to her as they walked out the door of the suite. Yeah, he was a tiny bit upset about that but he was more upset over the fact that he’d have to wait probably months to finally propose to Clover. 

Clover gently bumped her hip against his, and then rested her head against him. “You shouldn’t let that get to you, baby. The suite your grandpaps has us is in sweet as fuck. You should be enjoying yourself.” 

Jason sighed and continued walking with her. They reached an elevator and Clover switched from leaning against him to holding his hand. Jason gave her hand a quick squeeze as reassurance that she was right, and then nodded. And after the elevator stopped at the lobby, she talked to him about how her father was excited to get to see him again whenever they got back to Seattle. During these times, Jason would usually be ecstatic, but he was still so goddamn stuck on the ring in his pocket and their missed opportunity,  that he just wasn’t ready to let it go. 

That is, until they were outside, the cold wind blowing against their bare cheeks as soon as they walked out the hotel. The outdoor area was covered in white lights, and there were white and pink roses surrounding them, along with a miraculous four-tier water flaw where the goddess Aphrodite stood coming out of the water. It was beautiful, and there weren’t many people outside because of the cold weather and the fact that it was late. But anyways, just standing there, noticing how the light of the fairy lights left a romantic and soothing halo of white light over the green leaves and white and pinks of the roses, Jason decided to take the engagement ring out of his pocket and kneel down. 

Clover blinked hard when he did, and she also jumped a little, both her hands covering her mouth in awe. “No way !” she exclaimed excitedly. 

And no longer being in such an awful mood, Jason laughed a bit and said, “So you’re saying no before I even show you the ring?” 

Some tears began to trickle down Clover’s cheeks and then she laughed back at him. “Shut up. You know what I’m going to say.” 

Jason rolled his eyes playfully before opening up the little black box in his hand. Inside was a ring with one huge lavender diamond at the center and two white diamonds on each of its sides. And inside the ring was engraved with he and Clover’s initials. “Then just say it? My knees are going to wear out. I’m not as young as I used to be.” Another playful few words. 

“Fine, fine - yes, of fucking course I’ll marry you. Now c’mon - put the ring on my finger, and then stand up so I can kiss you!” She exclaimed, her hand shaking just a bit as Jason slowly slipped the ring up her finger. He was ecstatic she said yes, and honestly couldn’t believe it for a moment. While this wasn’t Paris, this all felt too great to be true and he almost felt pinching himself to see if he were daydreaming. Jason didn’t have to pinch himself though, because Clover ended up pulling him up by his tie, kissing him while he was still somewhat knelled on the floor. He returned her kisses, following her lead with rough, and occasionally soft kisses of his own. He could’ve continued kissing her for as long as possible, but then she ended up pulling away and giving him a hug instead. “I love you so much,” is all she said, burying her face into his neck. “So much.”
