*Twists his wrist to show her the contents of the box.*
So I didn't know for sure until this morning that there actually are real red diamonds. Those aren't rubies.

*Takes the box from him and shoves the glass in his hand. Looks at the ring.*
Drink.

*Sips the water and sets it down, spilling some down his shirt.*
See how they're set so that the points touch like that? It's like the spider, like you.

*Sits down next to him, impressed.*
Yeah, it does look like a black widow marking...

Is it kind of stupid to give you a ring that represents you? It felt too egotistical to have it made to remind you of me.

*With her head still tilted down in the direction of the small box in her hand she moves her eyes to Tony.*
You're giving me this ring?
*Shuts her eyes and shakes her head and smiles as she speaks:*
Actually, lets back up even more. You went down and searched for a ring that represents me to give to me and it ends up being not only a diamond ring but red diamonds?
What on earth FOR?!

I would have thought that was kind of obvious, Nat. I want you to be my wife.

*Closes her eyes and breaths out deeply.*
Of course you do.
*Stands and shuts the lid on the ring box.*
I don't know if you think what you're doing right now is something I want but this proposal is... conflicting. Firstly: this isn't fair. Look at you. You're drunk, and why? Even with your reasons for dumping Janet - which I don't really think has been made offical yet - obviously you still want her. Why else would you be in the state you're in now if you didn't have some inner conflict going on in that brilliant mind of yours?
Second: How would a "nexus only" wedding even work? Its hard enough being here half the time as parts of me want to kiss you and other parts want to kill you. There is so much emotion that I can't categorize, and I don't think you can either. Then of course there is Bucky...
*Shakes her head.*
This ring is beautiful, but I won't wear it as your wife. I know you've good intentions and that you've thought this through as thoroughly as you can, but please look at it from my perspective: You have water dribbled down your shirt and alcohol on your breath because another woman caused you to drink, and you're asking me to marry you. Why? Because it's Sunday? I've been given no real proposal here of any kind. And I just ...
*Trails off and sits back down next to him, handing him the box.*

*Tony closes his hands around Nat's and shifts over to kneel in front of the couch.*
I know Natalia, I know but I had to drink not because I'm too broken up about Jan- she knew what she was doing when she did that with Norman- but because you're the only person who can rattle me enough that I need it to be able to do this.
Let me ask you this, and answer honestly. Who has stayed by me, solid as rock- no not rock, diamond- through absolutely everything with unwavering strength and loyalty?

*Looks into his face and tires to discern if he is being truly sincere. Softens and gives him a smirk.*

*Rolls his eyes but smiles grudgingly.*
I haven't seen him in weeks. You don't source and buy red diamonds in a day, Nat. You don't get them set into a custom designed ring in the time it takes to get a pizza delivered either.

You do if your Tony Stark.
On the other hand, I have presents... FOR EVERYONE!

I would really not tell Janet that.
*Looks down for a few moments and breaths out deeply again.*
Can I ... think about it? I sorry this isn't a throwing our arms around each other and kissing passionately moment, but this isn't something I'm just going to take lightly. On your end you've had all this time to 'prepare', and I haven't - in fact this is all so very random, you have to see why I'm concerned...

*Stares hard at Nat to ignore Clark as hard as he can.*
Yeah, I think that's fair, and really if you end up saying no just wear it on a different finger or I can change the setting to turn it into a pendant, you know?
