Leave a comment. You instantly propose marriage to anyone who replies. It doesn't matter who. A stranger? Must be love at first sight. Your lifelong mortal nemesis? Better be together till death do you part! Whoever they are, you want to get married and you want to get married rightnow. Bonus: you may or may not be suddenly at the altar. It's magic. Don't question magic. The other person reacts with shock and horror. Or joy if that's how you roll. Tag around and spread the... love? Yes, sure, let's call it that.
[ What was this feeling So sudden and new? Her heart was throbbing and her face felt flushed. All because of this man standing before her. No one else mattered, it was like her eyes could only see him.
Lottie quickly turned around to touch up her makeup and dab at her skin so she didn't have a drop of sweat on her before turning toward him again. She reached out for his hands and held them close. ]
Darlin' I've never met anyone like you before in my life, Marry me!
[ There's a certain tall, blue-haired basketball player currently sprawled on Kagami's couch, clad in cargo shorts and t-shirt and sweat, sticking to his tan skin; he doesn't even have the decency to change first, acting as though he owned the place when, in all actuality, he has long overstayed his welcome. It's the kind of self-assurance that can't be faked.
This is now your marriage prospect, Kagami. Because who could ever resist the lure of a man who can only pull his own weight in a basketball court? ]
Oi, are those burgers ever gettin' done or what? 'm starved.
[ See? He even already functions under the impression Kagami is his personal housewife. How could this ever go wrong? ]
[She always imagined that when she got married, it would be to someone she either knew well or had reason to wed - her sense of duty is too strong to allow otherwise. Also, let's be totally honest, she always assumed it would be a man, and that he'd do the proposing]
[But there's a very strong compulsion in her right now, and Éowyn never has been one to ignore her instincts]
[She approaches the other woman, dropping to one knee (which is helpful both for effect and to stop her towering a head over Lottie) and looks up, trying not to think about how little sense this makes]
Lady, I would wed you. Will you have me?
[Well, she's not technically a prince, but she is royalty... that counts for Lottie's dreams, right?]
[Alright Meg, suck it up. You've gotten your courage up and confessed once already. Sure the circumstances were more dire but hey, you can do it again. You can walk right up to him, square up those shoulders and just ask.]
Smiling at the man before him with a head tilt, Yunan thought for sure he couldn't possibly be turned down. So with confidence, he just pushed on. "Will you marry me?" The worst that could happen was that the man said no, right?
