Ren currently rooms with Gonta and can be found easily throughout most of the day.

I guess I can't judge you too much for being so affectionate on a holiday.

[He goes to grab a coat- Michigan is fucking cold man.]

Wait, do you even have Valintine's Day back home?

[linearcrash]

[ Offering a shrug at that. ]

Wouldn't know if it was. Found out about it from Inaba on the network, yo.

[ So he actually did research.

Heading to the door and snagging a scarf to wrap around his own neck before offering his hand. ]

[le_mat]

I should thank her then.

[He takes Nine's hand, squeezing it and letting him lead the way]

[linearcrash]

[ Just going to lead him out of their room and apartment building altogether. Putting their linked hands into his own pocket to keep warm as he starts heading in a direction.

Then he's going to pause to think.

No, let's go the other way. Yeah, definitely the other way. ]

Hey, it's like your world, right? With all the holidays?

[ It's something that would be definitely good to know for anything in the future. ]

[le_mat]

[How casually Nine tucks Ren's hand in his pocket makes him chuckle. Though the change in direction makes him give a questioning 'hm?' before getting distracted by the question]

I think so, yeah. I haven't gone and checked each one to compare, but so far it's all matched up.

[linearcrash]

[ Ren is sleeping with someone used to get lost on a balcony. It's okay... he's got this. Let's take a stroll this way for a bit. ]

What one is your favorite then?

[ There seems to be a lot of them, which is still pretty new to him. Then again, this place isn't war torn. It's quiet here aside from the bullshit with the Foundations and SCPs popping up.

Also just going to bump his hip against Ren. No escape cause he has your hand captive. ]

[le_mat]

...

Christmas.

[For various reasons. He smiles in a almost nostalgic way]

[linearcrash]

Hey, that's the one they did at that Resort, right?

[ With all the decorations. Sucks he was too focused on watching what was happening there. ]

Want to do something for it next time?

[ No ifs there is a next time. Like there really will be one. ]

[le_mat]

Yeah. Where I'm from it's more a romantic holiday though.

[That assured tone makes his chest flutter happily]

Sure.

[linearcrash]

You mean like the kissletoe or whatever it's called?

[ Eventually they start seeing businesses and food places. ]

There any where you'd like to go or see?

[le_mat]

Kissletoe... I'm calling it that from now on.

And, well... I guess I'd be happy no matter what we did.

[linearcrash]

[ He will totally take credit for that and act like he did it on purpose. Giving his hand a squeeze. ] Maybe we should find one of those fancy cafes some where far then. [ So he can get good, home roasted coffee and it can be all fancy. There's a beat, and he'll just take him towards the park instead. Something a little more private. ] You know, I was thinking of doing some grand gesture with candles or something like that, yo. [ But it's not really him or even them. ]

[le_mat]

If you did that I'd start wondering if you hit your head on a mission.

[linearcrash]

Exactly. You get me, baby. [ This is one of the reasons he loves him. ] Uh. I did make curry. [ Rubbing the back of his head with his free hand as he says that. So he tried a gesture of some kind, but not the over the top sappy. A different kind of sappy? ]

[le_mat]

You cooked?

[He looks surprised but pleased.]

[linearcrash]

Huh? Yeah, I cooked. Are you impressed? [ Just... don't check his apartment's trash cans for the failures. Sometimes instructions are hard when they are from a book/online. He is proud of the final product because he did a good job. ] I'll give it to you in a bit, yo. [ There is something else they should get through first \o/ ]

[le_mat]

I am. Or I will be when I eat it and don't die.

Though now I'm curious what's more important than curry~

[linearcrash]

You are, obviously. [ Pulling their hands out of his pocket to bring it up to his mouth. Giving a kiss against his knuckles. ] You know I want to spend every morning waking up next to you. Well, every morning that I can, hey. [ Since missions might keep him some where else a night or two. ] I wanted to give you something a little more permanent than just words.

[le_mat]

[He recognizes what it sounds like it Nine is implying. And his eyes are wide]

Nine... what are you saying?

[linearcrash]

[ He's more of a shower than a say-er, so he's going to let go of Ren's hand. Moving to stand in front of him. Holding out his hand, and there's a flash of red before there's a ring box there. Just going to take a knee before opening the box to reveal the ring. ]

What do you say, baby? Want to keep doing this for as long as we both live?

[le_mat]

[He feels like Nine just punched him- in fact he actually sucks in an almost pained breath. Nine is very direct, so he knows there's no confusion on what he means. What he wants. What he wants with Ren.

They're both so young. Ren had no intention of getting married any time soon before coming to this world. But before coming here he was also much more sure he had a future to hope for. Here... he could die any time. Nine could die any time]

Nine...

[He reaches for the ring, taking it from the box. It's simple and clean-cut. Just the kind of thing he'd like. Of course, Nine would know. With a small nod he puts it on, holding his hand up to see how it looks]

Ha... might as well. You're stuck with me.

[linearcrash]

[ His brows draw together in concern until he sees that Ren is actually taking the ring. And he's putting it on. Look it even fits? He knows from touching his hands and having those hands on him a lot in the months they have been together. You're stuck with me are the best words ever in this moment. The ring box is gone in a flash as he puts his arms high around Ren's legs. Just going to pick him up as he stands up to spin him. ] Hell yeah! [ Stopping in his spin to look up at him with the biggest grin ever like he's seeing the best view ever or something beautiful ] I love you, baby. [ They can take their time getting to the actual getting hitched part, but now there's something physical there to remind them both that he has something to get back to. ]

[le_mat]

[It's only through his high dexterity that Ren doesn't tumble right out of Nine's arms]

I love you too, Nine.

[His eyes are a bit damp, but he manages a charming smirk]
