This came from @supernovacoffee‘s “How about you make me” and “You think you’re funny?”  (and cause I’ve been feeling sappy lately)

---

“How about you make me?” she said with a hint of devious excitement
in her voice.

“Make you?”

“Yes.”

“Kathryn, I think you’ve proven a long, long time ago that I
can’t make you do anything.  If you don’t want to ….”

“Give it another try.  You
have to admit that last attempt was pretty lame.”

Chakotay frowned at her. “You think you’re funny, don’t you?  

She nodded with a grin.
“Uh huh.  If you really want me to
agree you’re going to have to earn it.”

“Earn it?!  How many
years have I been earning this?”  Her
smile broadened and she relaxed back into the couch while he let out an
exasperated groan.  “Fine, just…. Give me
a minute to think.”

He began to pace back and forth across the living room of
her apartment.  She had to hold back a
giggle while she watched him mumbling to himself.
Dramatically he would shake his head, then scratch his chin and keep on
pacing.

Suddenly, he stopped.
“You know what?”

“What?”

Then he spun on his heel, grabbed his coat off of the hook,
said “just forget it,” and walked out the door.

Mouth agape, she leapt from the couch.   “Wait, but….”

Adrenaline shot through her and she dashed after him.  “Chakotay?” she asked, then she shouted
louder down the hallway.  “Hey!  Where’d you go?  I was just teasing!”

She ducked back inside to grab her jacket, then fled down
the hallway and out of the building.

In her haste she tripped right over him, waiting patiently, on
the outside steps.

“Chakotay!” she gasped as he caught her and pulled her into his
lap.  He wound her into a deep embrace
and kissed her with all of his might.  “Yes,
the answer is yes,” she murmured into his mouth.

“I knew you couldn’t resist ‘hard to get’” he laughed with a
smile.  

Then he put the ring on her finger.

Ahhh I love it 😍
