May 4th, For Izzy

[sayshazam]

Billy clutched nervously at the bouquet of flowers in his hands, shifting from one foot to the other. This seemed like a totally good idea when he was planning it but now he worried if it was too cheesy, too over the top romantic or something just for a one year anniversary for dating. You'd think after all this time Billy would be more sure about the sort of stuff that Izzy liked but nope, a part of his brain wouldn't stop worrying that he was screwing up. At least he didn't freak out anymore that Izzy was going to leave him or actually be upset. At worst she'd probably be amused and tell him it was a sweet effort.

But still, he really wanted her to like his plan. He'd put a lot of work into it but it was worth it. When you loved someone it was worth doing extra work just to make them happy. Billy had even talked to Izzy's boss to let Izzy have the day off without Izzy knowing so that he could surprise her at work that morning. Which is why he was here, in the fancy store, wearing jeans and a t-shirt holding a bunch of orchids (why couldn't she likes carnations, they lasted longer, smelled better, and were way cheaper) while waiting for his girlfriend to show up at work so he could surprise her.

"No way, you totally freaked out and it was amazing. I'm going to start proposing all the time now. If you're going to completely reject my not-proposal I'm going to make sure I get a lot of fun out of this," Billy said, grinning at her. He figured that the best way he could deal with the whole thing to treat it like it was hilarious. It was hilarious, no doubt about it, but some of the stuff she had said bothered him a little. Yeah, it would have been stupid for them to get engaged right now but it still sucked to hear she didn't want to. Feelings totally didn't have to make sense.

"Also, we definitely need to revisit 'not wife material' at some point. But it doesn't have to be right now."
