Who: Botan and Hirari.
When: February 14th.
Where: The park in the residential area.
What: Hirari has a very special question to ask.
Rating: A cute one.

Valentines day hadn’t been anything that he had known about prior to this year. It wasn’t a thing that was celebrated in his own time, but when he found out about it, and how important it was to many couples, he wanted to do something. And there was something he had wanted to ask Botan for a long time.

He was going to propose.

Not the way he had asked her to marry him when she didn’t remember who he was, but properly. But he didn’t know what weddings looked like in a world like this. He had turned to his trusted books, reading up on what a modern proposal and wedding entailed. A ring, he figured out he needed pretty quickly. An engagement ring, it was called. Should they both have one each? And should they be matching? The books only talked about women and rings, and symbolization, but he wanted to show that he belonged to her and no one else. If the ring was a promise, he should be wearing one too. So he got both of them pretty rings, the same kind though it would possibly look a bit out of place on his own hand with how pretty it was, but it was chosen to suit Botan after all.

He had taken the day off from work to make everything perfect. It was nice weather outside, a sheet of snow on the ground. In a park where the snow decorated trees and benches, he cleaned off the snow from the bench and started to set out flowers. He had bought flowers of every kind and shade of pink and purple, He had set up candles, shielded from the wind in their glass lanterns, giving the area an additional glow aside from the street lights.

And come evening, he led Botan to toward the park, making sure she was dressed well enough not to get cold. And with her hand in his, he walked by her side in the guise of an evening stroll. And now that he’s about to ask her, he’s having a hard time keeping the question in until they get to the park. But then the lights and the flowers become visible, and he’s bursting with nerves.

Considering he had never really thought about what he ate, and his favourite food was miso soup, that was the only thing he was descent at cooking. He really needed someone to make sure he didn't eat too much crappy food.

"But you can still feed me one, right?"

[fallingsakura]

Miso was easy to fix at least, but he needed more than that. Botan would need to step up her game of being a wife for Hirari, that much was for sure. She would make sure he didn't starve or anything else. There was still a nagging feeling for her in the back of her mind. She would ultimately out live him...or vanish from this place and she didn't know how he would handle that. For now she wouldn't indulge in those feelings.

"If you want." She smiles and grabs one from the box.

[snakebait]

He really couldn't live only on miso, could he? He would if he could, but he would get malnourished that way.

He wiggles around on the bench, scooting a little closer to her and taking her free hand before opening his mouth in expectation.

[fallingsakura]

He doesn't need to live only on miso. She will need to find other things he will enjoy eating, if he did want to be picky.

Chuckling at his actions she moved her hand closer to him before she placed the chocolate into his mouth. Really what was she going to do with this man. "Is it good?"

[snakebait]

Well, he liked food that was easy to eat. No picking bones out of fish, for one.

He blushes, , chews and swallows before nodding. "It's really good."

[fallingsakura]

That is important to know, though there were some fish she could just cook the pieces of with no issue of bones. Botan was sure she would learn what she should or shouldn't cook with Hirari. Especially with the more time they shared together.

Her own blush shows as she pulled her hand back. "Oh, good. I didn't know how they might taste."

[snakebait]

They would have plenty of time. Hirari needed to learn to cook a little bit too. He wants to be able to spoil his beautiful future wife.

He smiles brightly. "I couldn't imagine you making anything bad."

[fallingsakura]

Too late he already does that really well to begin with. She didn't need to have his cooking to be spoiled when he did it with everything else.

"Oh...hush you." Botan blushes and moves her head to his chest.

[snakebait]

But what better way to spoil her than to spoil her in every way possible? He really loved doing things for her, getting her gifts, doing big or small things...

He chuckles, and hugs her tightly before pressing a kiss to her hair. "I love you so much."

[fallingsakura]

Hirari you already do that. Botan doesn't mind his lavishing her but honestly she was happy just to get to be with him. She didn't need fancy things as long at they could be together that was what mattered. After so many years of them losing each other she's learned to cherish when she can be with the man she loves.

She blushed a little more before she hugged him back. "I love you too, Hirari." Gently she pulls back and looks around the park, they were alone. So it would be okay...

Botan placed a hand on his cheek as she moved and pressed her lips to his softly. He enjoyed this kind of thing, so did she, and it felt right.

[snakebait]

He had never had anyone to spoil before, he couldn't help it. But there was one area where he had yet to properly do that in, and that was cooking.

He blushed, and happily kissed her back, running his hand up to comb through her hair. He loved it when Botan took the initiative. He didn't care if they were alone or not, but on their own it was much more private and intimate. Like they were the only ones in the world for those seconds.

[fallingsakura]

If he really wished to do more for her, she would let him but she wouldn't demand it. She just wants to be with him as long as she can.

The ways he pressed back only got her to hum, she really enjoyed his kisses. He was incredible in so many ways. Still she was curious to try something she heard about, though she wasn't sure if this would work. There was no hurt in trying it? Especially since they just made such a special promise. As they kiss she gently opens her mouth and presses her tongue to his, unsure if this works.

[snakebait]

That works too. He loves any time spent with her, and values moments with her above anything. Sleeping next to her, brushing her hair or watching her do things.

Hirari hadn't had much experience in kissing. Well, especially not in killing women, since the only woman he wanted to kiss was Botan, but it was enough to know a little bit about it. His cheeks tint another shade darker as he feels her tongue, and he responds by doing the same, not really sure how it worked either. But trying new things was good.

[fallingsakura]

His love was probably more pure than many could ever wish to have. Botan was careful to cherish it.

Kissing was still completely new for Botan, Hirari had been her first kiss. Still she did watch some of the images on the box, the tv, and looked in books. This kind of kissing was something couples did and it was supposed to be special. So when she felt his tongue against her own, Botan froze for a moment surprised. Then she begins to move hers over his now. It felt good, even if it was a little odd at first. There was something about tasting Hirari and then the chocolate from earlier.

............kissing, not killing, omg

[snakebait]

Her momentarily freezing made him wonder if he had done the wrong move, but when she starts to move hers again he takes it as a sign to continue. It did feel a bit odd, but in a good way. He could get used to this.

these two....

[fallingsakura]

Botan felt almost light headed as they continued to kiss one another, this was one that obviously required more breathing techniques. Gently she gripped the front of his top as she tilted her head a little more. She could only hope Hirari was enjoying it as well. Even the bite of the cold air was secondary to what they were doing right now.

[snakebait]

Hirari realized that breathing was tougher like this as well, but he didn't want to break the kiss. His head was feeling light for more than just one reason, and butterflies were twirling around in his stomach. He only broke it when he absolutely had to, leaning his forehead against hers. "That was nice. I didn't know you could do that."

[fallingsakura]

Once the kiss is broken she looks up at him, eyes half lidded for a moment before she felt her cheek heat up. It hit her that she actually did that and they were in public. The emotions of this all must have gone to her head...still it did feel good and she could see why it was looked at an intimate action for two people. Botan pressed her head against his before she closed her eyes. "It...was something I saw mentioned somewhere..." She wanted to hit him softly but she resists the urge, he could be so embarrassing.

[snakebait]

He wouldn't mind if she hit him, he liked that side of her too. He liked all sides of her with all his heart. "In the box?" That seemed like it could make sense. Had anything been written about it in the books he read while figuring out how to propose? The proposals and sex scenes were a bit more detailed than the kissing (Why were there so many sex scenes in them though, it made him blush). He closed his eyes as well, holding her tightly in his arm.

[fallingsakura]

She had easily been figured out and she turned her gaze down to his lap, she didn't want to look him in the eyes as she admitted it. "...yes." There were many more detailed things on the box but that was at night and she would turn it off. Why would people want to caught doing so many intimate things. Held tightly against him she felt herself shiver a little before she gripped his top. "Hirari...it's getting colder."

[snakebait]

"You're adorable." She had seen things in similar ways as he had read things, and he found it endearing.

Modern entertainment was strange, wasn't it?

When he felt her shiver he pulled away to stand up, offering her his hand. "Let's go and get something warm to eat."

[fallingsakura]

Botan can't handle this right now. She is starting to regret trying this sort of thing...in public. "You're an idiot."

It was the strangest in multiple ways. Like the moving picture box, they were no where near that back home.

She looked at his hand then placing her hand into his own. It was warm and the idea of going inside somewhere worked for her. "Yes."

[snakebait]

"I know." He knew he was an idiot, but the way she said it was much more heartwarming than when members of the Abe family said it.

He squeezed her hand, smiling lovingly at her before picking up a pink flower to place behind her ear.

[fallingsakura]

It was said in a loving tone, she would never be cruel to Hirari like that. She does scold him when needed but it was all done because she loves him. Botan couldn't hurt the man...ever.

Her eyes open when she felt the flower, looking to him she blushes before she smiled. "Thank you."

[snakebait]

He takes her hand again, grinning as he starts to move along. He'll treat her to a meal and they can spend time together in a cozy diner. He kissed her knuckles. "You too."
