Supercorp One Shots

Accidental Proposal

                By: SupercorpSmutFluffandAngst

Kara unlocked her door wearing the brightest smile her cheekbones could handle. She tossed her keys in the bowl beside the door and dismantled herself out of her jacket, unceremoniously stumbling on her own feet from her excitement. Shoes flicked off and bag flung away, she hurried to the couch with the fancy-looking navy velvet bag, placing it on the coffee table in front of her.

She squealed with excitement. An actual loud screeching sound came out from her throat as she clasped her hands together, pushed back against the back of the couch, and flailed her feet in the air from exuberance. Her mid-air happy dance lasted for a few minutes, feet kicking in the air, fists banging on the couch cushions and face scrunched in glee. It all resulted in several birds flying off from the tree near her window terrified.

Once she was done scaring off the animals with her screeches and her squeals, Kara took out the small black box from inside the bag. She bit her lip while a light bulb formed over her head with an idea. Rushing to where she dropped her purse, she reached inside and grabbed her phone. A speeding dash found her back at the couch, phone clutched in her hand and the camera already front facing.

She began recording, "Hey, Lena. So, you probably won't see this until way after I've already proposed to you and filled your office with flowers and chocolate but I wanted you to be the first to see your ring with me. And since I can't actually show you," she chuckled with a shrug, "This is the next best thing. Making you a video!" she gave a smile with all of her teeth, cheeks lifting up in joy. "So!" she faced her phone to the bag, "Your ring came in this bag. Oh! Maybe I should put the box back in the bag so you get the whole entire experience."

She frowned as she attempted to place the ring box back in the bag with her left hand while her right was still recording all of the behind the scenes scenarios.

"There! Ok, so your ring came in this dark blue bag. It's not plastic though. Or paper. The bag I mean, not the ring! Obviously." she went into another chuckle laughing at the image of a velvet ring in her head, "It's kinda velvety. Here let me zoom in on the bag for you, so you can see better."

She furrowed her brows in concentration as she faced the camera back onto her face. Frowning, she realized she couldn't switch to the other camera without turning off the video. "Hmmm." she tapped the screen, opening a small dialogue box that said 'Directional recording enabled'. She pursed her lips in though at what that might mean, "What does...?" she tapped another corner of the screen, but still no way to switch cameras. "Oh! I just realized, Lena, you're probably still watching! Sorry, I'm just trying to figure out how to switch my selfie camera to the back one. Can you do that? I'm not sure."

She finally sighed, "Guess I'll zoom in on my face then face the camera towards the bag? Yeah, guess that might work." she zoomed all the way in, the screen showing two tiny holes of her nostrils and a gigantic looking nose. "Oh! You didn't need to see that!" she chuckled as she angled the camera away from her nose and towards the bag.

"Do you see it?" She asked absolutely no one. "I can't tell if you see it. Can you see the bag, Lena? It's velvet. I've never seen a velvet bag. I'm sure you have though. Anyway, let me take out the ring now for you!"

With her left hand - why she was recording with her dominant hand, she wasn't sure - she took out the box and held it up in front of the camera. Way too close to the camera of an already zoomed in lense. "This is the box!"

She tried peeking at the screen while still holding the box at an arm's length to see what her phone was recording, "Oh! You can't see anything, Lena!" she giggled as she placed the box on the table and brought that camera back to her gigantic nose. "Let's zoom you out a bit so you can see the ring I got you." she fumbled as she tried pinching her screen with her fingers all sweaty, "I can't wait for you to watch this video! And see the ring! And say yes! Wait, you'd say yes right?" her pinching paused as she frowned at her nose in the screen, "I hope you say yes. I mean I'm pretty sure you love me. And we do live together." she made a duh face, though it couldn't be seen on the screen, "So if you don't say yes it would be really awkward living together."
