Xander couldn't help but feel pleased when Zuriel had blushed. To Zuriel's question he answered, "Yes, they will be." He wouldn't stop trying to help his children find happiness, despite his anger towards Brasti, with Zuriel around he had found his, so he'd be damned if his children didn't find theirs too. He felt happy when Zuriel had told him that he loved him in return. When he asked his question about what Zuriel wished for, he couldn't help but grin slightly. "Has it come true?" He asked, still having that grin on his face. I need to ask Zuriel to marry me, I can't take anymore time to wait.... If I plan on finding the person that murdered him before asking then I need to hurry along. He thought to himself, having wished every night that he had been married to Zuriel already, wishing that he would always be there to save him, if he needed it.
Someday I'll ask you to marry me, please say yes my love. To his thoughts, he would press closer to Zuriel to hold him close. "Thank you for always standing by me Zuriel." He whispered, feeling a great need to express his feelings in the spur of the moment. The eyes of the public looking towards them were ignored as he took this moment to be closer to his lovely boy friend. Is it selfish that I want to find the person that killed you first? Perhaps a little bit, but I have a wish that I would love to be granted. That when the time comes, I ask, regardless of what is going on in the world. It was decided, when he felt the motive, he would have to ask, perhaps going to get the ring should happen right now instead of waiting till after the death of the murderer.
There was an intense affection that Zuriel harboured for his boyfriend, thus the lich could not resist keeping his arms around the marvellous man. A broad smile remained on his lips while he continued snuggling into Xander's chest; if he ever lost his demonic boyfriend, the world would stop spinning. Losing somebody brilliant like Xander would result in Zuriel's life becoming an apocalyptic mess since his boyfriend remained the only family member he had alive. When his lover stated their children would be happy and healthy, Zuriel's smile widened as he gleefully melted against Xander, fantasizing about the children they would adopt into their family.
[break][break]
They would buy a beautiful house, large enough for each child to have their own room, a large backyard for playing and everything will be a blissful type of perfection. The very notion resulted in the lich's heart racing as he grew excited over the ideas of their family and settling down with Xander. Slowly, he gazed up towards the demon's face, grinning jovially at him. Then the unexpected question towards his wish arrived, Zuriel blushing as he glanced away.
[break][break]
"Well, you are happy and healthy, right?" He murmured, attempting to maintain the facade.
[break][break]
The evening was proceeding splendidly, the spontaneous expression of feelings from Xander resulting in Zuriel's heart melting. Blood rushed to the lich's cheeks as he continued to melt into his lover's arms. Naturally, he would stand alongside the stunning Xander always and comfort him whenever he needed it. They were dating, and Zuriel considered it his primary duty to keep his boyfriend's happiness in check.
[break][break]
"I will always stand by you," he whispered back. "I love you, and I appreciate everything you have done for me. You're all I have ever dreamed of."
[break][break]
Being overheard by the public mattered little to Zuriel considering the expression of mutual affection between himself and Xander always sparked an immense happiness. These moments were always the most sublime, the Festival of Lanterns only increasing the romantic mood for Zuriel. There were moments where he wished Xander and himself could remain in these memories forever, but the lich knew that forging new memories brought an unbridled sense of enjoyment to their relationship; they could always reminisce as needed.
[attr="class","nameLyrics"]somebody save me from this fearful torment.
Xander can't help but smile at Zuriel. "I'm very happy and I think I'm healthy...." He would then pull Zuriel closer. "I think i need a check up." He teases, seeing as Zuriel is a medic, it seemed only fitting to made the flirtatious suggestion. He found himself stuck in his thoughts until Zuriel makes his comment, causing him to blush. I need to ask him to marry me, I don't think I can wait until I find the person that killed him. He just didn't want the big moment ruined by the person attacking his Zuriel again. "I will always be here." He whispers back, "I love you more." He teased, thinking now was the perfect time to start a contest. "Stealing my heart and my words." He teases, feeling exactly the same way.
I need to get him a wedding ring and ask him. I'm not going to wait until after his murderer is caught, I'm going to find out now if Zuriel wants to marry me or not, but seeing as he wants to adopt with me, I hope he wants to marry me too. He would lean forward attempting to kiss Zuriel's cheek. "Did you want to play games still?" He wanted Zuriel to pick, as long as his Zuriel was happy, he'd be happy. I need to figure out his ring size so that I can ask him... Then a thought crossed his mind, would there ever be a perfect time to ask Zuriel other than right now? If he was going to do it, he would have to wait until they made their wish before getting on one knee to ask Zuriel to marry him. Then apologize for not having the ring yet because he wants to go ring shopping with Zuriel.
A smile remained permanently plastered onto Zuriel's face as he remained in close proximity of his incredible boyfriend. The years they were together made it impossible for the lich to even imagine a day without at least hearing the demon's divine voice. Being away from his precious Xander would be difficult for Zuriel, especially after numerous evening spent in the warmth of his embrace which allowed him to survive many cold nights since his revival; these minor details always provided the impression that Xander was absolutely perfect for him.
[break][break]
The grin broadened when Xander mentioned being both happy and healthy, especially since those were of the utmost importance to the medic. When pulled closer, a slight hint of red blossomed onto Zuriel's face in surprise, his eyes gazing up curiously at his boyfriend's face. The flirtatious comment that escaped his lover's mouth immediately deepened the blush on Zuriel's cheeks, the bridge of his nose possessing a pink tint. Bashfully, he glanced away, his heart rate soaring from the pleasant remark that Xander provided.
[break][break]
There were a few moments spent recovering from the marvellous comment the demon made, Zuriel listening to the rapid beating of his heart gradually calm. Once his fluster settled, he glanced towards Xander, his forest green eyes displaying his deep affection for his lover.
[break][break]
"I would happily give you a check up any time," he whispered. "But excuse if you catch me staring, it is difficult to refrain when I get to assist the most gorgeous man in the world."
[break][break]
These were the moments that excited Zuriel over notions like marriage and children, since spending time with Xander was always amazing. This incredible demon meant the world to him, thus the lich worked tirelessly to make his boyfriend's days marvellous on account of his love for him. The reassuring words about always being here made the medic blush as he grinned up at Xander, his heart fluttering wildly. When his lover attempted to claim he loved him more, Zuriel smirked at his boyfriend.
[break][break]
"Noooo, I love you more!" He declared before hastily wrapping his arms to pull Xander into a tight embrace.
[break][break]
The stealing comment made Zuriel quietly giggle as the blush continued engulfing his pale complexion. There was a playfulness to the lich's expression, his giggling displaying the hidden traits that only Xander could make appear; it was something of magic in a way. The soft feeling of his lover's lips pressing against his cheek increased the intensity of the blush, the medic resorting to hiding his face in his boyfriend's chest afterwards.
[break][break]
These sweet actions, they always resulted in Zuriel's heartbeat increasing until it seemingly rattled his ribcage, insisting towards freedom! A slow nod acted as the lich's response as he continued hiding.
[break][break]
"Do you want food first?" He mumbled, taking into account his boyfriend's living species.
[break][break]
As a lich, Zuriel never required food and instead sustained energy from his soul, although, he would enjoy the wonderful taste of meals whenever he was enjoying the company of his boyfriend. Merely observing Xander eat without at least taking a few bites always appeared to be an oddity; he enjoyed the mutual sharing of taste testing experiences, whether positive or not. Slowly, his head shifted up, allowing for his boyfriend to catch a glimpse of the faded blush on his cheeks accompanied by a broad grin; he loved Xander so much.
[attr="class","nameLyrics"]somebody save me from this fearful torment.
Xander was pleased as Zuriel's blush increased. He felt like he was doing good tonight, this was perfect though, it was all apart of his plan to have a good night with his beloved Zuriel. He would wait for Zuriel to answer, finding Zuriel's bashfulness completely worth it. When Zuriel looked back towards him, he was pleased when he mentioned how he would check up on him anytime. His flirtatious comment caused Xander's cheeks to blush. "Of course I won't." He teased, "I should make it a rule.... must stare." He teased some more. He would lean closer to whisper, "I'll be sure to do it back and sooooooooo much more." When the competition of who loved the other more had come into play, he would smirk. "Nooooo no noooooooo. I love you more." He declared, feeling Zuriel's arms tight around him, he would return the gesture, never wanting to let go. "I am the luckiest man alive to have you." He whispered, wanting Zuriel to remain by his side forever. After kissing his cheek, he was pleased when Zuriel had hid his face against his chest, from where he was standing, he could still see.
Hearing Zuriel's question brought a smile to his face. "Only if I have somebody to share it with." He whispered, not willing to eat unless Zuriel were to join him. It wouldn't be the first time he refused and it wouldn't likely be the last either. It would all depend on what Zuriel would say as a comeback. He always enjoyed those moments when he got meal time with Zuriel, it had been hard to come into terms that when Zuriel had come back he wouldn't be required to eat. Sometimes it felt like he eat for the sole purpose of making sure he ate, but it was the small moments when Zuriel appeared to enjoy the food that it brought joy to him. Eating had become worth it as soon as it appeared like he could enjoy meal times with him once more. He would slowly pull away from the embrace to intertwine their fingers. "You should pick." He whispered, curious on what Zuriel would like to try this time, completely open to trying new food too. He would slowly lead the way, so that they would be able to see the different venues.
These happy moments where Zuriel could gleefully flirt with his incredible lover were always favourites in the lich's memories, although, he could always admire those heartfelt moments. Those quiet days where they mostly cuddled or the moments where his precious Xander would be adorably heroic. When red claimed Xander's face, a small laugh of delight escaped the medic's mouth as he became mesmerized by the cuteness captured in his blushy face. There was nothing better than witnessing his boyfriend's cheeks turn a shade of red. Merely witnessing it resulted in Zuriel's heart soring, his eyes locked onto the attractive face of his precious Xander.
[break][break]
The teasing was reciprocated, which was an action the lich should have suspected after making his boyfriend blush. The newly created rule to stare made blood rush to the medic's face at the notion of observing his boyfriend being encouraged. The lich's cheeks were a deep red, his heart beating rapidly from the flirtatious comment his lover made in return. Instantly, he glanced away bashfully, a sheepish grin on his face.
[break][break]
"You're the best boyfriend," he stated quietly. "I will happily stare at you, besides, it is difficult to remove my gaze from your exquisite form."
[break][break]
There was a competition created by the mere comment of I love you more which resulted in Zuriel squeezing Xander affectionately. The lich snuggled his face into the demon's chest, happily being enveloped in his warmth and his endearing scent as he maintained a tight grip around the incredible man. When the embrace was returned, it was welcomed as the medic stared up at the demon. Shortly, he stretched up to kiss Xander's cheek, his arms still tightly wrapped around his boyfriend.
[break][break]
"Noooooo, I love you more. You are adorable, so I must love you more," Zuriel argued.
[break][break]
There was a mushiness to their arguing, the type that some would gag upon hearing, although, the medic cared not for their opinions. The only person who truly mattered to him was his incredible Xander who brought him joy every day he woke and was provided with the chance to see that attractive face. Blush consumed Zuriel's cheeks at the following comment that the demon stated about luck. A broad smile stretched across his mouth as he returned to bashfully hiding his face in Xander's chest, his heartbeat immediately elevating in delight.
[break][break]
At the mentioning of sharing the food, Zuriel grinned more as he adjusted to gaze at Xander's face, which revealed the deep redness of his cheeks. Nobody else could compare to the marvellous boyfriend he had and Zuriel could never imagine himself with anybody else. A small nod acted at Zuriel's answer to the sharing comment, the lich already excited to search for something they could share. He allowed Xander to pull away, their hands automatically meeting to intertwine their fingers. The action brought immense enjoyment to Zuriel as he stared at the demon, expecting him to pick their food of choice.
[break][break]
When the choice was handed to the lich, he appeared surprised as he walked down the venues and their numerous stalls. Most foods appeared to be creations that were simple, some venues evening possessing a grill to make meatier foods. The lich glanced around, searching for something sweet to share with his Xander. His eyes locked on a booth that sold caramel apples, the golden liquid freshly hardened on the fruit surface.
[break][break]
"How about caramel apples?" Zuriel suggested.
[break][break]
The concept of perhaps sitting by the lake snuggled up and enjoying the fruity delight sounded like an excellent way to enjoy the evening. They could consume the caramel apple, then it would likely be time to send the lanterns into the skies above.
[attr="class","nameLyrics"]somebody save me from this fearful torment.
Xander blushed when Zuriel called him the best boyfriend before agreeing to stare at him, admitting that it would be difficult. "I would also argue your the best boy friend." In the back of his mind he though to himself, but sooner or later it will change to best fiance but he wasn't about to tell Zuriel that, not just yet. When Zuriel said how he loved him more, he couldn't help but blush more. "That is my line." He teased, trying to steal it from Zuriel. It is okay, I'll get to prove it to you soon enough. He decided, allowing Zuriel to win. He would follow Zuriel to the different venues, curious on what he would pick. The question about caramel apples was asked and he grinned.
"I love caramel apples and with you, they become even better." He flirted, seeing as they would be sharing, he had reason to believe he might get an extra sugar rush tonight. He would lead them to the stall, paying for the apple, figuring if they wanted more they could just come back for it. He would look around for a spot for them to sit before noticing the lake, he would lead them in that direction, unaware Zuriel had been thinking about it. He would help Zuriel sit, before taking a seat right next to him, wrapping an arm around Zuriel to pull him close he would take a small bit of the caramel apple, then kiss Zuriel because he enjoyed these moments when had an excuse to kiss him.
With a broad smile, Zuriel stared up at Xander's face, his heart palpitating intensely the longer he remained beside his boyfriend. There was excitement, the lich feeling alive whenever he gained the opportunity to spend time with the spectacular demon who he loved. A soft laugh escaped his mouth when blush tinted Xander's cheeks, Zuriel finding the view to be sublime; his boyfriend was always adorable when he blushed! There were few things that the lich enjoyed more than witnessing his lover blush at one of his compliments.
[break][break]
The return of the compliment made Zuriel's heartbeat elevate, his cheeks turning a faint red as he glanced away to obscure Xander's view. The competition for flattery appeared to be continuing, the medic attempting to organize his next move. A flirtatious grin appeared on his face, the young man reaching up to kiss Xander cheeks, adjusting himself to whisper in his ear.
[break][break]
"I'm only the best because you're so good they had to disqualify you," he whispered. "You are a divine boyfriend, better than anybody has seen."
[break][break]
The increasing of Xander's blush made Zuriel's heart melt, his smile broadening as he completed the objective of making his boyfriend flustered. When the demon stated he stole his line, a soft laugh was how the lich response considering he found the teasing cute. A flirtatious smirk touched the medic's face, the man already knowing how he could possibly make Xander blush more; he wanted to see those cheeks get extremely red!
[break][break]
"Then I think we are even," he began. "Besides, you did steal my heart all those years ago."
[break][break]
The victory in the who loved who more competition brought a cheerful smile to Zuriel's face. When Xander returned his response in regards to the caramel apples, a deep red blush touched the lich's face. Bashfully, the medic glanced away bashfully as he reached to cling to Xander's arm. Close proximity with his boyfriend was always incredible, resulting in Zuriel's heart rate elevating as they walked towards the stall. Initially, the lich had planned to pay for his boyfriend's special treat, but Xander managed to accomplish the exchange first.
[break][break]
A pout touched his face to tease his lover, Zuriel snuggling into his boyfriend's arm. He enjoyed witnessing the demon's expression when he provided a gift, it was another pleasantry of a relationship. While the happiness his boyfriend provided him was magnificent, the lich enjoyed returning those feelings; he only wanted to the best for the man he cared immensely about. While everybody else disappeared, Xander always remained there to hold his hand and bring a smile to his face.
[break][break]
Once the caramel apple was purchased, they headed towards the lake, much to Zuriel's pleasure. The lights of the stalls played against the water as wind softly rustled the branches. He took his boyfriend's assistance in sitting down, his smile increasing when Xander sat beside him and an arm was hooked around him. Automatically, the lich leaned against his boyfriend's shoulder with a soft smile touching his face. His forest green eyes glanced towards Xander, watching him take a bite from the treat of the evening.
[break][break]
The kiss surprised Zuriel, the spontaneous public display of affection resulting in his heart fluttering with joy as the sweet treat was used as an excuse to kiss him. The soft feeling of Xander's lips pressed against his and the sweet taste of caramel made Zuriel melt against his boyfriend in joy.
[attr="class","nameLyrics"]somebody save me from this fearful torment.
Xander couldn't help but feel flustered that Zuriel was making him blush so much, but they seemed to go back and forth and it was completely worth it. He couldn't help but grin slightly when Zuriel whispered to him about only being the best because they disqualified him. "Not true....... but I did deserve that disqualification...." He teased, personality thinking Zuriel to be the best still. He couldn't help but feel slightly excited while he listened to Zuriel's laugh. Oh how he enjoyed these moments that they spent together. To Zuriel's comment about being even, further stating that he stole his heart all those years ago, his cheeks went a deeper shade of red. It seemed they would be at a tie, having to come back to this love competition at another date. It was far from over but he would allow Zuriel to win, this time. He felt relief when Zuriel had reached out to cling to his arm.
Watching Zuriel pouting shortly after he had paid, put a smile to his face. "What? I stole your heart all those years ago, I had to repay you back somehow." He teased, knowing the cashier wouldn't know what the hell he was talking about but he didn't care because Zuriel did know. He savored his time being clung by Zuriel. If it wasn't for the apple in his hand, he would have turned to pull Zuriel into another hug and refused to let go. After they had headed off towards the lake, they had taken a seat, Zuriel leaning against him. He had been first to bite into the apple before kissing Zuriel. Oh how he was so sweet, this caramel apple couldn't compare to Zuriel's lips pressed against his. Within a few minutes he would pull away and hold the apple out for Zuriel to take a bite.
The consistent blushing that occurred throughout the evening on Xander’s face helped maintained a broad grin on Zuriel’s lips. There was nobody else who could compare to his beautiful boyfriend. The demon’s muscular body, enchanting facial features and those striking purple eyes. The grin that touched Xander’s face at the flirtatious comment was rewarding, the lich’s heartwarming upon witnessing it. Whenever he managed to make his boyfriend happy, Zuriel’s own joy hastily followed.
[break][break]
Should anyone deserve endless happiness, the medic believed it to be Xander. This beautiful man that provided him with numerous days of enjoyment could never be replaced, but always cherished. The moment Xander agreed he should be disqualified, a smile crossed Zuriel’s face as he continued softly laughing. There was nobody better than this wondrous demon who brought light into his days.
[break][break]
As usual, their affection-based competition ended, although, the lich believed it would begin during their next date. The routine was always craved by Zuriel since he adored informing Xander of how much he loved him and receiving similar treatment in return. The deep shade of red that coloured Xander’s cheeks was always rewarding after all. When Zuriel managed to notice his boyfriend’s blush, he grinned, his forest green eyes fixating on his lover.
[break][break]
“You’re so cute when you blush,” he murmured softly.
[break][break]
The remark made as Zuriel cling to his boyfriend resulted in a smile breaking his pout as he softly laughed. The counter Xander made in response to his pout over paying was amusing, the lich snuggling in closer in response. Afterwards, they quietly sat near the lake, Zuriel resting his head on Xander’s shoulder as they enjoyed the caramel apple. As the medic slowly pulled away from the kiss, he tasted the sweet caramel from his partner’s lips.
[break][break]
The softness of Xander’s lips pressed up against his own had been incredible alongside the pleasant taste of caramel apple; the taste improved from the kisses based feeding method. When the apple was offered, Zuriel took a small bite, his lack of boldness making him uncertain about kissing Xander back. Instead of acting, the medic slowly chewed while snuggling affectionately against the demon in hopes he would provide the kiss.
[break][break]
After the initial kiss, the lich desired more, his craving for attention growing as he continued snuggling his boyfriend. The taste of a caramel apple was delightful, but he wished for the endless attention of his lover; he was addicting to him after all.
[attr="class","nameLyrics"]somebody save me from this fearful torment.
Xander blushed more when Zuriel said he was cute. "Not as cute as you." He whispered, not willing to let this compliment go without a fight. He enjoyed these times, knowing they would continue it at a later date, but for now, they would focus on this event. Tonight was a special night, more so because he had plans in store for Zuriel. After he lead him away to eat the apple in a quiet spot near the lake, he had bitten into the apple before sharing a kiss with Zuriel. When Zuriel had bitten into the apple, he leaned towards him to kiss him. If he thought he was getting off without kisses, he had another thing coming. As it stood right now, besides the caramel apple, he desired to kiss his beloved boyfriend. One could even say it was a make out session, minus his hands touching Zuriel all over.
He would pull away to bit another piece of the apple before kissing Zuriel once more, melting into their kiss. Time would slowly pass, as Xander made sure to kiss Zuriel each time one of them had a piece of the apple. Loving the taste of caramel between them. It wasn't long before he had noticed the lights across the lake, likely from the Lanterns. Since the apple had already been finished, he would help Zuriel to his feet, but hold his hand as he knelt on one knee. "Zuriel, we've know each other for years but ever since I laid my eyes on you, I've felt a connection like no other. Will you do me the honor of becoming my husband?" He asked, hoping Zuriel wouldn't be too upset if he finds out there isn't a ring just yet.
There was an increase in red on Xander's face caused Zuriel's smile to broaden and snuggle his wonderful boyfriend. The greatest fortune the lich had possessed was finding this incredible man who he loved dearly. Never would he leave his lover's side considering how his presence made his heart sore and how deep his undying affection towards Xander had become. At the mentioning of being cuter, blush consumed the medic's cheeks, his face heating up. Considering how highly he admired Xander's adorable qualities, the compliment made Zuriel's heart begin to beat rapidly.
[break][break]
For a few moments, all the lich could hear was the pounding of his heart as he glanced away. While his demon boyfriend would be unable to hear his heartbeat, the illusion of Xander possibly hearing his increased heart rate remained. The compliment fight had recommenced, Zuriel a little surprised when it began once again. The medic began snuggling his boyfriend affectionately, sparing a few moments to think of an excellent response to make his precious Xander blush.
[break][break]
"But nobody could compare to your beauty. Your wondrous grace, the curves of your face. Your sweet words are like nectar to hummingbirds. To me, you're the most beautiful flower while I am your little hummingbird," Zuriel whispered, snuggling Xander more.
[break][break]
The lich desired a poetic effect, although, creating it on the spot while feeling while flustered made it rather difficult to provide the effect. Afterwards, they shared sweet caramel kisses, taking turns to bite into the festival treat before their lips softly pressed together. Soft lips touching his own, the hints of caramel providing an increased sweetness to the exchange. The entire scenario resulted in a deep, red blush touching Zuriel's cheeks while he smiled jovially. Everything appeared perfect while they exchanged kisses, the lich finding immense happiness with Xander's presence; even without the caramel apple, Zuriel would be overjoyed to have this moment with his boyfriend.
[break][break]
Once the apple had finished, the medic snuggled into the demon's shoulder, closing his eyes briefly. In that instance, he took everything in, the addicting scent of his boyfriend, the pleasant sharing of body heat while the distant voices of other festival goers could be heard in the background. Everything was absolutely divine for this date, however, Zuriel still had a wish he hoped to come true. When his eyes opened, he glanced over the lake and listened to the waves lapping onto the shore.
[break][break]
Finally, arrived the lights of the lanterns as they were pushed into the sky. The luminance played across the waves as the night became consumed by light. Witnessing the beautiful spectacle brought a broad grin to Zuriel's face as he took Xander assistance to stand, his forest green eyes watching the lanterns. They floated into the air, like mobile stars floating back to the heavens from which they came. Their radiant light touched the waves, making for a surreal experience as the medic's eyes glanced around.
[break][break]
When he felt Xander adjust, the demon taking a knee, the lich's eyes glanced towards him, immediately widening as his heart began racing; was this actually happening? His hands were encompassed in Xander's, Zuriel feeling the warmth of his partner as he continued to stare wide-eyed. The words his boyfriend stated made his heart skip several he listened, a broad grin appearing as tears of happiness formed in Zuriel's eyes. At this moment, the wish he had been making for several years came true beneath the light of the lanterns.
[break][break]
Suddenly, Zuriel moved forward, attempting to tackle his boyfriend in a hug while a blissful grin remained on his face. There was no doubt about this becoming the best date in the world.
[break][break]
"Of course, I would be honoured to be your husband!" He exclaimed, over-zealous about the situation.
[break][break]
Emotions increased, Zuriel finding it difficult to wipe away the tears of joy. No thought was taken towards the missing ring since the only thing that mattered to the lich was the eternity he could spend with his fiancee. He wanted them to be happy and healthy together, the medic believing his Xander to be more important in the engagement than any ring.
[attr="class","nameLyrics"]somebody save me from this fearful torment.
Xander found himself blushing more while Zuriel spoke, finding himself melting in this embrace. "My special hummingbird." He whispered back, pulling Zuriel closer to him. Oh how, Zuriel was better at these compliments and yet it wouldn't stop him from trying to fluster his Zuriel. He deserved to be flattered forever and it would be his job, to accomplish this task that he has set before himself. Time seemed to stop for them while they shared the caramel apple, or at least it felt like it had for him. Oh how he wanted this moment to last forever, but he had one hell of a surprise for Zuriel as soon as the moment was right. Shortly after the lights of lanterns had been seen, he had helped Zuriel up before remaining on his knee to propose to him. The sudden movement had caught him by surprise, feeling himself fall onto his back with Zuriel on top of him as his boy friend had succeeding in tackling him to the ground.
As he heard Zuriel speak, his heart beat increased as his excitement grew. "Nooo, the honor is all mine." He pulled Zuriel closer to him, wrapping his arms around his fiance. He would then press closer, caressing his cheek before kissing him on the lips. This was the happiest day of his life and he was not about to let anybody else ruin it for them. He had to after all, make up for the fact that he didn't have a ring for Zuriel just yet. He would slowly pull away, looking Zuriel in the eyes he would ask. "Will you go ring shopping with me?" He of course planned on getting a lantern to send it up in the air with Zuriel, but afterwards, he wanted to spend time going from store to store, to find the perfect ring for him.
Blissful happiness conquered Zuriel's mind, his lips stretched out into a permanent smile because of the incredible actions of his beloved boyfriend. Everything about Xander was simply perfect, the lich even finding his lover's short-tempered behaviour adorably attractive. Their relationship was strong, both parties willing to handle the other's flaws and accept one another. Perfection was unachievable, but the medic felt as though Xander accomplished it with a wondrous grace.

The divinity of his body and the pleasantness of his mind being attractive to Zuriel, resulting in him remaining glued to his lover. It brought a jealousy whenever somebody else would gain Xander's attention, the medic desiring constant consideration; he was addicted to the demon's attention. Whenever his boyfriend's eyes were locked onto him, Zuriel felt empowered by capturing his lover's attention. Being referred to as Xander's special hummingbird resulted in a blush blossoming on Zuriel's face, the couple having equal redness on their cheeks.

Immediately, the medic snuggled his boyfriend in reaction, hiding his face in his shoulder to avoid the redness of his face being spotted. There was a similar reaction when Xander asked for his hand in marriage, blood rushing to the lich's cheeks to make them a vivid red. The successful tackling made Zuriel overzealous as he snuggled his face into Xander's chest, a broad smile on his lips. Tears continued to slowly roll down the medic's face, the intense emotions of joy resulting in the tears of happiness. A pair of arms wrapped around him, the warmth of Xander's embrace resulting in the lich melting against his newly declared fiance.

"I am still honoured to marry somebody incredible like you," Zuriel murmured quietly, complete bliss in his tone.

There was nothing better than having Xander's arms wrapped around him while they sat beside the lake as lanterns ascended into the air. A happy sigh escaped Zuriel's lips as he glanced towards his beautiful lover and future husband. Softly, his hand caressed his cheek with warmth and love, his fiance leaning in for a kiss. Without hesitation, the lich closed his eyes and leaned closer, their lips drawing closer together until meeting for a passionate kiss.

Immediately, Zuriel's heart rate spiked when he felt the comforting warmth of Xander's lips, the lich kissing back to relate mutual feelings. When they finally pulled away, the medic provided his lover with a sheepish smile, his heart thumping against his sternum. The mentioning of ring shopping made the blush return, Zuriel glancing away bashfully.

"I would love to," he answered. A pause proceeded, Zuriel briefly laughing. "You know... I have to think of a new wish because my dream just came true."
[break][break]
Once again, Zuriel returned to snuggling his fiance, content with the sitting here, snuggling forever if they could. Today, was the most incredible day in the lich's life. This would be renown as the day himself and Xander agreed the time was arriving to open the next chapter in their lives.
[attr="class","nameLyrics"]somebody save me from this fearful torment.
Xander couldn't have been more pleased when Zuriel had tackled him into the ground, proving to be flustered with emotion after he had asked for his hand in marriage. He found his own face going red from embarrassment but at the same time, pleased at the thought of their soon to be marriage. Slowly he had wrapped his arms around Zuriel as he snuggled him, clearly pleased with how this night was going. "Your so sweet." He whispered as he pulled his beloved closer as he kissed him. A few minutes went by before he pulled away, mentioning the ring shopping to Zuriel. When Zuriel mentioned having to think of a new wish, he blushed slightly.
"Perhaps me not being so slow?" He joked, as if it had been his fault for waiting so long to ask. Oh wait, it had been, but then again, Zuriel hadn't asked him either, so maybe it was both of them? He shook the thought from his mind as he looked back at him. "You should help me figure out one too." He whispered, curious on what Zuriel would say to that, now that they'd be joined to the hip, why not share a wish together? He melted when Zuriel snuggled him, choosing to snuggle him in return not at all in a rush to stand up to grab a lantern, they would get one sooner or later. He was sure of that.
