[ he wraps his arms around you and just says this ]

Okay, then marry me.

[asshooole]

[He becomes very small for a minute, and makes an muffled sound against your collarbone before looking back up, lips pursed. He wasn't almost crying don't you say a goddamn word.]

You said something about a ring, birdkeeper.

[nooodesires]

[ he reaches into his pocket and pulls a small box out with this in it ]

Well?

[asshooole]

[He wasn't actually expecting any of this.]

...were you. Just carrying that around with you, waiting for the inspiration to strike.

[nooodesires]

I thought about hiding it in ice candy but then I worried you'd just eat it by accident.

[asshooole]

[A short, almost hysterical laugh, and he takes the ring.]

It goes... on this finger, right? I only ever wore jewelry on my first two fingers, never the third...

[nooodesires]

Yeah, that's where it goes.

[asshooole]

[He slips it on the finger, a little awkwardly.]

Does that-- does that count?

[nooodesires]

Of course it does.

[asshooole]

[Emotions what are they and how do I make them stop. He's fumbling.]

[nooodesires]

[ don't worry, hobo is hugging you now ]

[asshooole]

[He'll take that. And maybe cling to your shirtfront.]

So that's-- that's it, we're engaged. I'm marrying you.

[nooodesires]

And I'm marrying you. You can choose what kind of wedding you want.

[asshooole]

[He's laughing, now, and okay he might be crying just a little bit. He's not used to being alive, much less being alive enough to have been in a relationship of seven years now turning to marriage, okay. Give the bird a break.]

I just hope I'm not dreaming.

[nooodesires]

[ he reaches over and pinches you hard ]

[asshooole]

[yELLS]

WHY WOULD YOU--

[nooodesires]

So you could tell that you aren't dreaming.

[asshooole]

[Inahles, exhales, shakes his head.]

...I think general practice states I'm supposed to kiss you for this.

[nooodesires]

I'd like that, but you can take your time to get adjusted to this first.

[asshooole]

[Nope, have some birdlips.]

[nooodesires]

[ well he does enjoy birdlips. he's kissing you back happily ]

[asshooole]

[Kissing seems to be the one thing he didn't forget entirely. Which is bizarre since he doesn't actively remember how it's done, but here he is. He might not be the greatest but he isn't as awful as he could be. Or should be, seeing as he has no recollection of having kissed anyone before.]

Getting married. Not a thing I ever expected I'd be doing.

[nooodesires]

[ you kiss just fine, birb ]

But it's still nice, right?

[asshooole]

[Good thing, or you'd probably be a very unhappy groom to be.]

[He nods, fidgeting with the ring.]

[nooodesires]

Calm down, it's not like I'm going to take the ring back.
