Great. I don't normally cook like that, so I was scared the meat was gonna be fucked up.

[He'll give Ezell his hand back now so they can both eat. Steak is kind of a two-handed meal. Like, don't get him wrong, he'd absolutely spear this cut of meat on his fork and eat it off that like a barbarian, but he's trying to make this... presentable. Not stupid? Something like that.]

[Wag wag wag...]

I love you, too. ...more than I bet you think I do.

[He's so down horrendous. He's so deeply, terribly in love with Ezell.

The faster he eats, the faster he can propose, the faster he can slip the ring on Ezell's finger and kiss him stupid, and they can sleep here and cuddle and

and

he's going to get emotional thinking about waking up next to his fiance, help.]


After we're done eating, let's go dance around the fire pit outside for a bit. I know it's cold, but trust me, it's part of your present.

[Where did you learn to dance, you hopeless romantic?]

Yeah, I mean— it's not going to be great dancing. I don't have good dancing music on my phone, so it's going to be silent. Maybe that's gonna make it weird, I dunno.

[He will not stop inhaling his food thank you though!]

...do you, uh, know how to waltz?

[where did YOU learn that?]

[Thanks to PV and Luca, he now knows how to fucking dance. Look, he's been planning this!!]

Yeah, that works. I know it's snowing and cold and wet, but uh... well. I was planning this for a while, and there's not much room to dance in here with the bed in the way.

[Y'all could do a different waltz but that is super not what Flamebringer implied. Or meant to imply, anyway.]

I can do both. [He learnt both!] ...but let me lead tonight, yeah?

[Since they're both done, he will stand up and start to head outside. He lit the fire pit so that they could dance around that since it'll be far warmer than the frigid negative temperatures outside, so that's where they're going, just off to the side of the deck. Ezell should probably keep his phone in his pocket playing music, though, lest it get wet with the heavy snowfall.]

[Thank God for waltz-appropriate music because Flamebringer has death metal. That is not romantic. Imagine Master of Puppets playing while he gets down on one knee and proposes.]

You know, I...

[He begins, as he's twirling them around in their little dance out on the patio, fire burning hot enough to keep the chill out at least for now.]

...really fucking suck at dates and stuff. I'm still getting used to what it feels like to be soft with someone. I probably should've brought you flowers and wine.

...

I don't even know if you drink. [So it's going well.]

That date was adorable.

["Adorable". Ugh! Look at him! He's never used words like that until Ezell popped into his life! He rolls his eyes at himself, grins playfully, and tightens his grip on Ezell's waist.

To himself, he thinks: I've got to say something more romantic than this. I cannot be a dork, I practiced this in front of a mirror and I need to say something suave and cool.]


Over the last while, you've grown on me. Like a weed. [motherfucker—] A really cute weed.

...

[Just gonna. Be pathetic and bonk his head into Ezell's shoulder. The nerves have him bad right now, but he'll lift his head up a short second later.]

I feel like I can't talk to you properly without stumbling over my own words. I hope you know that... for all my "I fuck with you"s and my "you're a cute weed", I still want to spend the rest of my sunrises with you. Kissing your shoulders in the morning, burying my nose into your hair and breathing you in, wrapping around you... that sort of shit.

I... really love you, Ezell.

[Ezell you're a beautiful chrysanthemum to him, but "you grew on me like a chrysanthemum" is not remotely a saying, and Flamebringer is also a dumbass. He's trying so hard over here.

They stop, and he knows he Has To propose here. He just has to. He has to bite back the fear that Ezell is going to say no, or "think about it longer", or something like that. Would proposing on his birthday ruin it? Does Ezell even want to marry him in the first place? It's him, god dammit, he's going to fuck this up eventually.

He bites down on his lower lip, briefly hugging back before he strays a hand back to reach into his back pocket where the ring box is.

Hoo. Here we go.]


It's, uh...

[He takes a deep breath, exhales, and steps back.]

I rehearsed this in front of our bathroom mirror probably a hundred times, and I still can't get it right. I look at you and everything I want to say completely fizzles out of my brain. But I figured if there was any day to do this, it would be on your birthday to make it really memorable. So...

[Deep breaths, you can do this. Red in the face, he takes a step back, then gets down on one knee in the snow, heedless of the way the frost seeps into his pants as he opens the velvet box.

Inside is a custom-made ring that he sketched out himself, and had Ydalir help him create.]


Ezell Pastore... will you marry me?

[oh FUCK he made him fucking CRY way to go Flamebringer you goddamn fucking moron you've fucked it up again—

Oh.

Oh!

Oh...

Well, this is as good a time as any to put that ring on Ezell's finger, then, even though his hands are shaking as he does it. After that, he pulls Ezell into his lap and holds him close.

Forgive him if he gets a little weepy, though.]

I spent forever sketching it. Went to Ydalir to get it conjured out of thin air... I was scared you wouldn't say yes.

[Flamebringer rubs Ezell's back in slow circles.]

I never want you to let me go. It's why I planned this whole thing like I did.
