toomuchfandom's prompt, John/Elsa in the bathtub with strawberries and champagne.
Sequel:toomuchfandom wrote the follow up 'Her Favorite Lollilop' ♥
John had been planning tonight going on nearly three months now. He couldn't remember being more nervous than he was when he woke up just knowing that today would be the day. Not even when he proposed to Nancy. Back then, he knew he was just going through the motions and doing what was expected of him. Not now.
He had watched Elsa as she slept before the alarm went off for her shift that morning. She was so peaceful and content in her sleep that he now understood when romantics said that you know love with that warm and fluttery feeling in your stomach. He had wanted to reach out to touch her but she had a long night and hadn't gotten much sleep when Lorne's team returned early with severe injuries and she had to be called to help.
He talked about his thoughts about this with Ronon who didn't offer much advice. What would he know? Teyla only smiled in her way and John knew he had her approval. She was of help in suggesting doing something relaxing for Elsa knowing the stress she'd been going through with infirmary shortage. Still, John's biggest support and help came from the most unlikely source. Rodney actually offered to not bitch at the kitchen help if they would save their best strawberries and similar fruits for John to surprise her with as they were her favorite fruit.
Checking his watch, he knew he didn't have much time left. He made a stop at his office where he hid a bottle of expensive champagne that he picked up on his last trip back to Earth in hopes that it wouldn't be in vain. He didn't have a bucket to stick it in so the best he could do was dump some ice into the bathroom sink to sit the bottle in and cover it with a sheet. Making a face he knew he'd likely lose points but he didn't know what else to do.
Looking around John ran his hands down his chest a couple times, thinking that he was forgetting something. When the doors opened, he nearly panicked that Elsa was early but when he went to see who it was, it was only Teyla.
“I thought you might be able to use these,” she said, offering a collection of various candles.
“Thanks,” he said looking at them. “I appreciate this. Do you know where she is?”
“Ronon is delaying her for you and is waiting on my arrival that you are ready. He hit himself in the face with a bantos so that she would have to give him some stitches,” Teyla explained.
John winced, “He didn't have to do that. I'll have to make it up to him.”
“Do not concern yourself with Ronon tonight. He knew it would keep her away longer as she is also lecturing him on safety.”
“Yeah, thank again Teyla,” he said as she walked out. Hurrying he set up the candles in the bathroom and a few along the floor from the door to lead the way to the tub that he started for them.
Changing out of his uniform into jeans and button down, he waited by the bed for his heart to come home. It wasn't too much longer that he heard the hiss of the door and Elsa's footsteps stop short.
She eyed the candles that illuminated the dark room but couldn't see past the soft glow they gave to the walkway that clearly indicated where they wanted her to go. “John?” she called out as she made her way slowly into the bathroom before sighing at the sight of the warm bath waiting.
“Go on, it's for you,” he said from behind her, causing her to turn around.
“What is this all about?” she asked looking back at the tub.
Grinning, John nudged her in further so that he could help strip her down before helping her into the water. As she sat down, he reached up to get a bottle of jasmine bath oil to scent the water that would linger on her skin much later after she would be finished. “This is about you, and how much I appreciate everything you do,” he said as he poured the oil around her and mixing it into the water.
“Mmm, I know that I would enjoy it much more if you were to join me,” she grinned as she reached up for him.
“And I will join you,” John said carefully. “After you answer something for me...”
“What is it?” Elsa asked as she closed her eyes to enjoy the smell of the candles and jasmine.
He had pulled the small velvet box from his pants pocket and held it in front of her, shifting from the squat to a knee. “Open your eyes,” he said in a husky voice.
She did as he asked and the first thing she saw was the box her held on his open palm. Elsa immediately sat up and looked back and forth from him and the box. “You...you...”
“Elsa Gutierrez,” he opened the box slowly. “We've had probably one of the rockiest relationships known on Atlantis. You have brought me to life much more than you can ever imagine. Would you do me the honor of becoming my wife?”
Elsa sat there staring at the ring unable to find any words. She looked up at John nodding emphatically. Pushing herself up she grabbed at his shirt to pull him closer to kiss.
John laughed as she had splashed the bath water in the process getting him soaked. “Here,” he said, removing the ring to slide onto her finger. He kissed her softly before standing to strip down.
Before he joined her in the tub, he pulled the sheet off the sink to reveal the bottle of champagne and bowl of strawberries. “Yes, I had help with all this,” he said before she could ask.
She chuckled as she moved to make room for him. “This is too much,” she said once she was able to find her words. “I love you John. I will definitely marry you,” she said turning to sit between his legs and kissed him again.
Wrapping his arm around her, John carefully poured the champagne into the glasses and handed Elsa hers. “To us,” he said.
“To our future,” Elsa replied, weaving her fingers of her left hand in with his.
