CHAPTER 13:
Wanna get married?
Raven

"Wow, you have quite the legacy," I breathed out.

"I'm going to miss you," I was saddened by Dannys past and how he was going to leave in a few months to fulfill his duty as King of K'un Lun.

"I'm going to miss you too. We could. . .wait, no."

"What?"

"Please, forget it, it was an indecent thought," He tried dismissing it and got up to leave my room.

I grabbed his arm, "Danny, please. I don't want to lose my best friend."

". . .I thought of marriage."

Marriage?

With. . .me?

"I thought that if we were to marry, you could remain in K'un Lun with me," I slowly let go of him, and his emotions immediately jumped down.

"I-I'm sorry-"

"No, Danny, it's fine, I just. . .I didn't think that you saw me in that way," Danny isn't one to play jokes, and the fact that his solution was to getting on one knee and asking to marry me was a big deal.

Raven, just calm down.

He didn't mean it like that.

"I mean, I'm just the freak girl with a demon dad, there's no way you see me that way. . .right?" I turned around to see him not smiling.

No jokes.

Just seriousness.

"I have tried to deny it because I am leaving, but. . .Raven, I like you."

My heart jumped. Daniel Rand a.k.a Iron Fist, a noble man who earned his power and will be King of the mystical K'un Lun, likes me? The daughter of Trigon? The girl with the dark magic?

"Tell me you're joking."

His eyebrows furrowed.

"Raven, I would never-" He walked towards me with his hands about to set on my shoulders, but I grabbed his wrists.

"Danny, you don't know what you're getting into with me. I'm not marriage material, and I'm not even sure I'm dating material-"

"If it's because you don't like me-"

"No! I do like you, Danny. . .a lot. But, I'm just. . .I'm scared that I'll ruin this," I admitted. Telling Danny was so much easier than telling any of the team, with his laid-back and calm nature.

He gently lifted up my chin to look into his eyes. Those damn eyes that always made me melt and want to just disappear on the spot.

"I know that you're a strong willed woman, that you fight for the innocent and for what you believe in. I know that you train and discipline yourself more than anyone else, that you use your powers for good. I know that you're a kind and generous soul with a heart that is waiting for love in return as you give love out. I know what I'm getting into because I know you."

"I. . .I just feel like you deserve better," I admitted, my eyes drifting off to his lips.

"I feel as if I don't deserve you, Raven. Yet you care for me as much as I care for you, and that is more than enough for me," I could feel he didn't want to pull away, and to be honest, neither did I.

"Raven. . .can I?"

"You really don't have to ask. . ." I drifted off as his other hand went on my waist, and I felt his breath on my face as we got closer and his lips brushed against mine and-

"RAVEN! PETER GOT TURNED INTO A-! WHOA!" Sam busted into my room and we immediately fell apart from eachother.

"Close the door!"

"Sam! You ruined their moment!"

The bickering from outside did not help racing heart and my flushed face.

They REALLY know how to ruin shit, don't they?

"I didn't think they would just-wow," I nervously chuckled.

"Perhaps we can have a more private moment on Saturday as my date to Homecoming?"

Smooth as always.

"I'd like that," I smiled.

"Sleep well," He kissed my hand and opened the door to leave, but instead we found our peeping teammates.

"We were just-!"

"Yeah, I wasn't doing anything. Just leaving."

"Have a nice night!"

"Did you guys kiss-? Ow!"
