[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]

[nightchild]

[and they'll never stop because itsuki is very needy and buzen never says no!!! but this is fine too, this is The Life and it's all Pure Romance. Itsuki's life continues to be luxurious!!

He offers some more pasta to Buzen... newlyweds...?]

I promise I won't make you wait for too long.

[smashcut to buzen being out on a mission for roxanna and itsuki wishing he'd proposed before he left,,]

[hasteful]

[his life is so luxurious even though their pasta is cold. buzen doesn't care, leaning into take the bite easily!! and he'll kiss itsuki's cheek.... some sauce probably gets on it

anyway]

I feel like you're gonna start overthinking it...

[don't just say it]

[nightchild]

[Itsuki won't even notice the sauce. He will have saucy cheeks (face). It's what he deserves, especially because he immediately frowns. He thinks he's just frowning, but it looks like a pout? It's obviously a pout.]

I'm not that bad, am I...?

[don't just ask this]

[hasteful]

[oh a pout

buzen will just lean in to give him a kiss to try to make it go away]

I don't think it's a bad thing... but sometimes I think you put a lot of thought into things that I would think are simple.

But I don't mind it... I think it's endearing to care so much.

[nightchild]

[wow, the pout immediately disappears? it's like magic... the kiss earns buzen a laugh,]

I feel like you're being pretty generous... [which makes him even more fond,] Most people would just call me obsessed.

Which is true, I guess.

[thanks for admitting it itsuki]

[hasteful]

We all have our things we like a lot, right?

[buzen, who is surrounded by people with insane hyperfixations is

probably not the best judge of this]

[nightchild]

[i hate this but itsuki thinks he's so cute, he laughs a little]

Maybe that's why I fit in so well with all of you...

[HE'S THINKING OF THE GOUS AND THEIR HYPERFIXATIONS]

[hasteful]

Haha, so you love love as much as Kotegiri loves the stage?

[ITSUKI'S HYPERFIXATION IS JUST

LOVE]

[nightchild]

Hmm... I guess?

Rather than 'love', it's more like 'the idea of spending the rest of my life with you in every way possible'...?

[IS THIS WORSE THAN JUST LOVE]

[hasteful]

Oh.... Wow!
