[CLAIRE] Sweetheart, are you okay? You've been quiet all morning.
[NATE] Yes, love! *nervously clears throat* Just a lot on my mind.
[CLAIRE] What's on your mind?
[NATE] *gets down on one knee and pulls ring box out of his pocket* Just wondering if you'd say yes to me asking you something.
[CLAIRE] Oh my god!
[NATE] Claire Margaret Haines, I love you so much. To know you is already such a joy, but to love you and to be loved by you? I learn from you, and am always encouraged by you. And I want to experience all of what life has to throw at us by your side.
[NATE] Will you marry me, my love?
[CLAIRE] Yes, oh my god yes!
[CLAIRE] | love you so, so much. *bends down to kiss Nate*
[NATE] My sweet girl *puts ring on Claire's finger*
[CLAIRE] Oh, it's perfect.
[CLAIRE] The most amazing man is going to be my husband. How did I get so lucky, Ballard?
[NATE] I love you, Haines *laces his fingers between Claire's* or should I say, soon to be Mrs. Ballard?
[NATE] Or should I say, soon-to-be Mrs. Ballard?
[CLAIRE] Can't wait to be your Mrs. Ballard, my love.
Can shows please stop fucking invalidating my aroace headcanons? First Jenkins gets/has a crush on Charlene, and now Zari has a crush on someone AND the latest episode makes her have a sex dream?! Is it too much to ask for even aroace-by-lack-of-romo/sex-plotlines characters?
I’m not even gonna ask for canon aroace characters cos THAT’S not gonna happen anytime soon. Or ever, since I’m feeling cynical right now.
*insert unintelligible frustrated noises here*
