[the fae catches his breath before looking down at himself. and his pants have done that thing where one leg is rolled up on him and the other is normal, but they're clean, and he's clean. he's good to go.
he holds the ring up again.]
I really think you should marry me like humans do! If you want to!
[his expression is determined. he's braced for another rejection. and he suddenly remembers something about getting on one knee for this sort of thing, but he can't remember if it's the right or the left, so he just falls down onto both.]
[ Lennon’s just in shorts and a t-shirt and his hair is a bit messy.
Daeshim is looking as cute as ever and his brain is suspecting what this
might be about but he doesn’t want to hope too much until the words are out
of his mouth and Lennon’s eyes widen before he smiles widely even when
Daeshim belatedly gets to his knees. It’s perfect. Daeshim is perfect.
]
I want to, yes.
[ Lennon moves closer and then just gets down on his knees too so he
can press a kiss to Daeshim’s lips. It’s silly how much he’d wanted this,
this question to be asked in person. It didn’t need to be fancy or perfect,
he just wanted… this. ]
[oh. he said yes this time... well of course he said yes. it was the third time that daeshim asked, and three is a very lucky number! his features relax back into his usual expression.
someday he will take lennon to the ruinwood. he knows he will. and the other fae will come with morbid curiosity to try and glimpse the spectacle of them, the fae who married a human. dae will have to throw pinecone after pinecone to chase sungki away.
and he has no regrets. not when it makes lennon smile that way, and kiss him that way. and there is one other delight to come:]
Our cake will be delicious.
[he whispers it between kisses, pressing the curve of his smile into the next one. it's hard to tell if he's deadass or also teasing a little.]
[ Lennon barely has a thought in his head, just the idea of a wedding, the idea of them starting their family as soon as Daeshim feels ready. He's so eager for it all. He'd never thought any of this was something he could have or something he deserves but Daeshim had been changing that for him in both senses.
He laughs at the whisper and he can scarcely contain his grin. He wraps his arms around the other's neck. ]
[daeshim would have a hard time explaining how it makes him feel to hear lennon say those words. it calms him in a way. it grounds him. it reminds him of why he came here - to love and be loved by someone he otherwise might not have been able to reach.]
Try it on! [he leans back a litle and brings up the ring again.] I have one too. They are special, we can never be separated now.
[his heart is pounding so hard when he slides it onto his finger. it shouldn't have this much meaning to him, but it feels very much like the sealing of a very special deal. the sealing of a very special promise. and the fae was never entirely sure that he'd get it right.]
It's beautiful.
[he means lennon's finger. but the ring is okay too. he holds his own up next.]
What should I do with this? Will you put it on me too?
[ It's perfect because it's what Daeshim got for him and Daeshim had worked to figure out how to give Lennon want he wanted... needed. He reaches to take the ring, feeling overwhelmed with how happy he feels and reaching to take the other's hand. ]
You're everything to me...
[ He whispers and he does slide the ring onto Daeshim's finger, leaning to kiss him. ]
[if he'd distracted during the kiss, it's because he's wondering why that is. he knows that it's true - at least lennon makes him believe that it is. but why? why him? lennon could have anyone he wanted, and daeshim is strange and confusing with messy hair and patched-up pants and a mouth that refuses to stay in the shape of a smile.
the kiss wins him over before long though, getting all of his attention as his arms window around his husband-to-be...no "not" in front of it anymore.]
[ Daeshim is different than anyone Lennon had ever met. He treated him better than anyone ever had and he accepts him even when he doesn't understand him. Lennon loves him and he loves that even before having children they're each other's family. And that Daeshim would never abandon him.
He kisses him lovingly and enjoys the closeness before slowly breaking the kiss. ]
You are the first person who ever truly felt like mine.
[daeshim's voice is a little rough when he speaks. he's not sure why, or why a tear rolls down each cheek, unnoticed until it falls and splashes against his shirt. but he knows it has something to do with this moment. they share each other with other people, and they love other people, but there's an undeniable bond between them, it runs under his skin and blooms on it. lennon means more to him than he's ever been able to put into words.]
[ It's not like Daeshim hasn't expressed similar sentiments before but the insecurities of Baein and his Jasper had never completely dissipated. He reaches out to thumb at the wet trail on the other's cheek, leaning to press his forehead against Daeshim's. ]
It makes me so happy too. You're always my first choice, my family.
[they were each other's, they just became his too, and that means something different. he was loved by them, but in the beginning he was also resented, probably feared. maybe even hated.]
You really are.
[he closes his eyes, his hands randomly sliding over the other's body as if to make sure he's still there, or maybe checking to confirm that he's real.]
[ Lennon can't help but feel his heart swell and he... maybe shouldn't be so happy about it...but he is. He wants to be Daeshim's and Daeshim's to be his and maybe... he wants this special place as the person.
He kisses him again, hyper aware of the other's touch and just basking in the attention. ]
[the bad and the worse, though for Lennon he will do his best to be neither of those things. in fact, maybe he should try harder to not seem like a fae at all.
he should...become like a human husband. yes.
he needs to start studying jasper and hunter more.]
[ Lennon smiles, nodding. He wants all of Daeshim. Daeshim accepts all of him so he has no second thoughts of accepting everything about Daeshim, it's all apart of who he is. He loves his fae the way he is. ]
How would you like to celebrate?
[ Lennon steals a kiss, nuzzling the other afterward. ]
[ Lennon would be okay with throwing a bit of an engagement party if
Daeshim wants! He smiles at the answer and nods. Isn’t that one of Dae’s
favorite things? ]
A nice bath it is. [ he does pull him back in for another lingering
kiss, still thrumming with excitement and how much he loves this —his—
silly fae. ]
[he seems surprised. he was almost expecting lennon to counter his offer with sex, because it's one of his favorite things.
but he's certainly not going to protest it, or another kiss. one of his hands slides into his human's hair, letting the strands slide between his fingers.]
I will take good care of you.
[the words are whispered against the other's lips. tonight and forever.]
[ Lennon can always tack on sex later. Nothing says he can't. And taking a bath gets you halfway there, naked and close together. He smiles, his nose scrunching as those words wrap around him like a warm blanket. ]
[the bathwater. he gives lennon one last squeeze before he's off, adjusting the hot and the cold, adding bath bombs to turn it a magical color, and liquid that foams up into lightly scented bubbles. as an added touch, a waterlily or two springs to the surface.
and then he returns just as quickly, picking the human up in his arms with a soft huff, carrying him to the water personally. not because it has anything to do with human traditions or even because he thinks it's romantic. it's for the sheer fact that he wants to.]
[ Lennon shakes his head as Daeshim runs off, smiling to himself and he waits for Daeshim to return. He doesn't have the same love for baths as literally everyone in the house does but he doesn't mind them, especially with Daeshim.
They make him so happy after all.
He blinks when he's picked up, though, that he hadn't expected. He laughs, though his arms wrapping around the other's neck and he presses kisses all over the side of his face. He likes it, being picked up, being carried, things like that. It makes him feel good. ]
