I'm not even sure if this fandom is active anymore, but I just started watching the show last fall and Oscar and Angie came up in a personal drabble challenge so of course I had to write it.


Angie Flynn hated surprises, and as for being blindfolded, there was a time and place for everything but riding in the passenger seat of the car of the best friend she wasn't dating was not the proper time or place. "This is completely is completely ridiculous. I can't see anything."

As she reached up to try to remove the offending piece of cloth, Betty immediately took one hand off the wheel and swatted at her. "Oscar made me promise you'd keep the blindfold on."

Now Angie was even more confused. Oscar knew her even better than Betty did, and he definitely knew that she hated surprises. "You do realize that doesn't make any sense, right?"

Instead of giving her a proper response Betty chirped "He's going to propose to you..." after a second's pause the red headed medical examiner added "I wasn't actually supposed to tell you that though."

Now, Angie had a moment to think. If she had been dating anybody else the notion that her partner wanted to commit to her for the rest of both of their lives would be terrifying. However, with Oscar it just seemed like a natural step they'd come to eventually. They'd been dating for almost two years now and in what was the opposite of most couples, they'd lived together for even longer than that. Still, it was strange to think that he'd enlisted Betty to help him with whatever he had planned. In fact, she suspected that Betty had a far bigger part in the overly romantic gesture than it initially seemed. Oscar had to know that he could have proposed while they were on the couch eating takeout and she would have been just as happy to say yes.

While she was thinking, Betty stopped the car before coming around to her side to let her out. The two of them walked for a while before stopping at which point Betty addressed who she could only assume had to be Oscar. "I'll leave you two alone. I have to meet a twenty-five year old calender model for lunch."

For a moment there was a shuffling of footsteps and then she felt two hands gently removing her blindfold.

"Hey," Oscar offered as a greeting smiling broadly at her before stepping aside so that she could see what he'd set up.

In that moment Angie realized they were in the park and he'd set up a picnic. It was a strange combination. To anybody passing by it might have looked as if he hadn't tried to impress her at all. There were none of the typical gourmet foods that were associated with romance. In fact, the meal itself looked suspiciously like food truck tacos. The picnic blanket itself was old and bore a pink stain from when ten year old Manny had dropped an ice cream cone on it. However, to Angie it was perfect.
