Da Future

[50shadesofprotag]

Soooo in the future! Hilda managed to woo Silver and keep him for more than a week.

When Hilda's about 26 and Silver's 24, she's finally got him doing more "couple"-like things with her.




It's a good thing they're a somewhat decent age to be parents?

Drafts? What do you mean?

[tsuntrader]

...You know I met my dads on some other world, right?

All kinds of crazy things happened there. Being drafted for war was one of them.

[He shrugs. It's like talking about the weather to him.] That's in the past now. It was a bad place, but I still learned a lot and even got a family out of it.

[tsuntrader]

I wouldn't be here without it, either. I wouldn't have gotten the chance to meet some crazy totally metal girl I fell in love with.

[50shadesofprotag]

[A...aww. That's sweet! Hilda's worried about the war thing but you know whaaaat, she'll let it go.]

I'm glad you're here. You're my soul mate. I knew it the first day I saw you, you were gonna play a big role in my life.

[She can dish out some sappiness, too!]

This wasn't exactly what I had in mind, but I like it. It's gonna be tough, but it's only proof that we're the best and we can handle anything.

[tsuntrader]

[Nod. Exactly.

As long as they're together, they can handle anything.]

Now come on, soul mate. [If they're gonna go for sappy theatrics, they might as well go all out.]

[50shadesofprotag]

Alright, alright!

[She puts the toy in her pocket, giving Silver a rough pat on the shoulder before grabbing his hand. Let's go for a walk, then.]

[tsuntrader]

[Off they go! It's only once they're outside that he says something again.]

For the record, you didn't know it the first day you saw me. That was the second day.

[50shadesofprotag]

What? ...Oh! Something about being in a line, right? Man, why would you even remember that.

[tsuntrader]

[It's at this time that Weavile peeks around the corner, and Silver nods at him to come over. It's now or never, huh.]

I got the last Casteliacone. I tried to give it to you, but you didn't want to take it.

[And Weavile hands over exactly that- it's a Casteliacone, kept cold enough to seem like it just came out of the stand. (Good ice weasel, best friend.)]

And I got the last one today. I was hoping for two, but...

[Nerves nerves nerves nerves-]

Maybe you'll take it this time.

[He offers the Casteliacone over.



On top of it is a ring.]

[50shadesofprotag]

[Oh... oh! Well. Hilda does turn positively pink, blinking down at the casteliacone. She takes it from Weavile, and plucks the ring off of it.]

It's pretty... but not girly. You know me well.

[She'll rub it in her palm, licking the ice cream as she warmed up the ring, and then slip it onto her finger. Come here, Silver, you're getting a kiss!]

[tsuntrader]

What, the ice cream? I'm pretty sure there's no changing the way that looks. [He's alright with kisses, even if he nervously pulls away after a second.

He shuffles through his pocket until he pulls out the matching ring- they're simple and although they come in different colors (with Hilda's being a black band and a blue heart and Silver's being white and purple,) the gem on both of them is red.]

So you'll marry me? [Wow he just said the M word okay, it's okay, take it easy-]

[50shadesofprotag]

Of course I will. Don't look so nervous! I would never say no to my soul mate.

[tsuntrader]

[...Right. It's... It's still relieving to hear. Even if they're soul mates, even if it's just a ring and some paperwork...]

[tsuntrader]

[...Uh.] Which finger do I put it on again?

[50shadesofprotag]

Right hand ring finger. Then we put it on our left hand when we get married.

[tsuntrader]

[Alright, he's slipping it on, th...

Gloves. He should take his gloves off. Yes. Now it goes on his finger. Feels weird, man.

...Is this really happening?...]

[50shadesofprotag]

So... when's the wedding?

[tsuntrader]

Your call. [...] Your mom said something about wanting you to wear her wedding dress. [So. Probably soon.]

[50shadesofprotag]

Well, I don't like any big weddings. Let's just go to the chapel, get it all written up, and then you and I disappear for a little while?

[tsuntrader]

...It's that easy?

[50shadesofprotag]

Yep! We could make it more complicated and have all of our family there if you want, but I'd rather have it just you and me. It doesn't need to involve anyone else, because it's not about bringing our families together. It's about us.

[She touches her belly with a smug little grin.]

The three of us.

[tsuntrader]

[He thinks it over a second before nodding. Yeah. That sounds a lot better.]

The three of us. [Those doubts are still there, but right now? Excitement is getting its turn. They're gonna have their own kid. Things will work out and be okay. What will they look like? Will they be a boy or a girl? -Doesn't matter. He already loves them.]
