[wow, this is really the life.

not like buzen's never put food on his plate before, but he's always done it in a group setting -- with all the other gous and swords and anmitsu, who all receive his attention equally. it feels special when it's just the two of them..... it feels, dare i say, domestic......?]

Hehe. [HEHE?] Feels like we're newlyweds...





[hehe]

[hasteful]

[WHY THIS AUDIOCLIP

buzen tilts his head as he goes to put food on his own plate now....]

Newlyweds?

[nightchild]

[it just describes my feelings on potential cold spaghetti marriage proposal]

Mmhm. It's what we call people who just got married. [itsuki will pour buzen a drink in the meantime,] They're still not used to it, but it makes them happy to spend so much time together...

[DAMN... MARRIAGE IS THE BEST...]

[hasteful]

[missing the point:]

You don't think we spend a lot of time together already?

[ASIDE FROM CHORES AND MISSIONS THEY'RE TOGETHER FROM MORNING TO NIGHT but buzen just seems fond anyway.... silly itsuki and his daydreaming....]

But you're right - I guess we're not married, so I don't really know the feeling exactly...

[nightchild]

[itsuki if he was still his performative slut self: we could change that kawink

itsuki now that he's in a committed forever romance with buzen, his true love: i... i could change that....]

I don't know it either! [he blurts out, suddenly afraid that buzen would have no problem if he was married to someone else,] But I've always wanted to...

[itsuki was supposedly starving two tags ago, but he's ignoring all signs of physical distress in favor of prioritizing the emotional kind]

What about you, Buzen? Are you curious too...?

[hasteful]

[ ?

buzen tilts his head in the other direction like he's trying to rattle around his last two braincells... he notices itsuki isn't eating so he'll just put food on his spoon and offer it out to him! eat! eat!!!! YOUR GROWLING STOMACH, YOU TWINK]

About getting married?

[???/]

Uh... I guess if you've always wanted to, then yeah! Me too!

[STOP]

[nightchild]

[!!!!!! he leans closer.....]

Bu -- [and then his mouth bumps into the spoon, automatically opening to consume the foods. wow these noodles are cold, haha.

chew chew chew]

...Warf if we marrige...?

[haha yeah]

[hasteful]

Sure, if you want.

[nightchild]

[holy shit]

[nightchild]

[WAIT NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]

You -- [COUGHS, HACKS!!!] You're --





[wait he's really choking right now]

[hasteful]

[uh oh

buzen tilts his head and then just starts to? pat itsuki's back? hello? what is going on,]

Suki?

[hands him water?]

[nightchild]

[takes the water thank you buzen god bless




takes a couple of deep breathes, in and out... his eyes are all watery because of the choking? maybe?]

I... Not like this...

[MAYBE NOT JUST FROM CHOKING...]

[hasteful]

[IS HE CRYING

HE'S ALARMED NOW and will just shift so he can try to brush his thumbs under itsuki's eyes to catch his tears??? HELLO????]

Eh? What's wrong? Did I say the wrong thing?

[nightchild]

[THEY'RE JUST ONE OR TWO PANIC TEARS OF EMBARRASSMENT IT'S FINE]

No... I did...

[HE LOOKS AWAY... AT... THE COLD SPAGHETTI...]

If I'd known this would happen, then I would have asked you earlier in the store...

[is proposing marriage to your boyfriend in a jewelry store better than while eating spaghetti]

[hasteful]

[no]

... asked me what... If I want to get married?

It's not like my answer would've changed...

[HE'LL JUST

SAY YES IN WHATEVER UNROMANTIC LOCATION]

[nightchild]

[HELP]

But the timing is important... And the atmosphere...

[buries his face in his hands]

...It should have been special, because that's what you deserve...!

[HE HATES HIMSELF SO MUCHHH]

[hasteful]

Why is it important?

[




twirls more cold noodles onto a fork and then lifts it to itsuki's mouth]

[nightchild]

[the way he'll associate spaghetti with this disaster for the rest of his life

he opens his mouth and eats it... and this time he chews...]

It's my way of showing you how much I want to be with you. ...We spend a lot of time together, and I've already promised myself to you for the rest of our lives already, but...

I just think it's really nice. To have a day to celebrate us being together. [he picks up his fork and moves the cold noodles around, and finds a meatball instead.... lifts it up for buzen....] And in order to do that, I need to ask you in a way that we'll both remember it forever...

[technically spaghetti dinner proposal is pretty memorable too]

[hasteful]

[buzen doesn't really understand, and honestly doesn't have strong feelings either way. marriages really do mostly just feel like ways to tie families together politically, but if itsuki likes them so much... he'll eat that meatball as he thinks, nodding along.

when he's done chewing, he has come to a decision:]

I think that no matter what we do, I'll do my best to remember it forever.

But if you want to ask in a specific way, that's okay, too. I'll wait as long as you want... but I don't think my answer will ever change.

[nightchild]

[. . . . .]

[nightchild]

[...........blushes........




god... this is peak romance... no, it's not even peak romance, it's just peak buzen....

itsuki immediately leans in to kiss buzen. meatball kissu! he felt so moved by buzen's answer that he had to kiss him, hehehehehehe --]

3/3 me like what if i stretched this out

[nightchild]

[wait]

-- You don't think? Do you mean that... your answer could change?

[YOU DIDN'T EVEN

TECHNICALLY ASK HIM YET


ITSUKI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]

[hasteful]

[squints

he doesn't understand what that means. it's splitting hairs to the point that buzen thinks he missed something]

... no...? I don't think it can... so it can't...?

[nightchild]

[sorry buzen that itsuki is so unhinged even during a first date spaghetti dinner,

but he's also easily pleased (in this one moment) in that he immediately brightens again, something something buzen is the wind and also technically the sun but itsuki thinks of himself as the moon, borrowing a little bit of that radiance.

he's just absurdly, genuinely happy. he's been happy this entire time -- well, he's happier!!!!!]

Okay. [smooches him! again!] Mm... That's all I need to hear.

[well, actually]

But let me hear that again when I properly propose to you, okay?

[hasteful]

[cute....... buzen laughs faintly afterward, accepting the additional smoocherino so easily. they really kiss so much]

Sure. Whenever you want, as many times as you want.

[buzen will always say that he loves itsuki, and wants to spend forever with him]
