Pairing: Jack/Liz
Summary: "For me?"

Liz was checking her voicemail when she saw that she had an unheard one from Jack. She quickly listened to it. After she heard it, she came in Jack's office. He wasn't there. She took a taxi to his house. She opened the door with her key. They're friends. Friends are supposed to have keys to each other's house, right? She saw Jack sleeping on the couch, with a medium-sized box in between his hands. 
"Jack?"
"Lemon, what are you doing here?"
"I got your voicemail. All it said was 'Let's get--' and then it ended."
"It's Christmas, Lemon. You wanna get dinner?"
Liz pointed to the box.
"Is that for Avery?"
Jack chuckled. 
"No, Lemon. It's for someone else."
"Who?"
"Just...someone." 
"Soo...what's for breakfast?"
"There's pancakes in the freezer, omelets in the microwave and some noodles in the pantry."
"You always know when I'm going here, don't you?"
"I've learned to love the foods."
Liz started looking through the foods. 
After she ate, Jack called Liz over to the couch. He held both her hands.
"What is it, Jack?"
"Lemon, you see that little present under the tree?"
"Yeah, what is it?"
"It's for you. Go get it."
She got the present and held it in her hands. 
"What is it?"
"Here, I'll open it."
When Jack opened it, Liz saw that it was a small box that said "Tiffany" on it.
"Jack, what is this?"
Jack opened the box and in there was a ring. 
"Liz, I--I don't know how to say this."
"Jack, you don't have to. I mean, why? You should marry Avery. Not me."
"But, Lemon--"
"No buts. You know I do, Jack. But it was one night. Nothing more."
"It was 5 years."
"Jack, I'm sorry."
"Just...keep the ring, Lemon. Think of it as a friendship ring."
"Well, then. Thanks, Jack. I really like this present."
Jack put the ring on Liz's right hand on her ring finger. 
"Is it okay if I put it here?"
"Oh my gosh, Jack. Fine, yes! I will marry you!"
A big smile was on Jack's face.
"Thank you, Lemon. Thank you.".
Liz rolled her eyes.
"Anything for my friend."
"Ah, fiancé, you mean?"
"I'll just call you boyfriend. Good, right?"
"Childish, Lemon. But sure. Call me what you want, Lizzy."
"Fine, boyfriend. I'm going home."
"Stay here, Liz. You're my fiancé after all. We should be living together by now."
"That's later, Jack. But yes, I will sleep here. Tonight. ONLY."
Jack laughed.
"Oh, Lemon."
