#brainy “marriage is stupid who needs papers and a fancy party”

In the professor au there was no real proposal.

Querl and Lyle had just graduated, and on the way home from the ceremony Lyle made a joke about them getting married, which turned into a serious talk about really do it, and then they agreed they eventually would.

it still wasn't an important goal for them though, so it wasn't for another two and a half years that they eventually got married. They also made a day out of going to get the rings and fake proposing to each other for a second time a few months before.

they just went right down to the courthouse to get married and only invited a few people last minute to be witnesses and then went out for dinner to celebrate.

#i also think it would have been funny if Jacques or Luornu got ordained jsut to marry them but thats assuming they #would remember to tell the two of them they're engaged #because in this au they jsut kinda #assumed everyone knew? they werent subtle but they also never said anything #and then they and their friends and family also assumed everyone knew #they probably were like “i guess i was the only one they didn't tell???” #i should probably make a tag for this #i will be talking about it more #losh #legion of super heroes #brainylyle #the joke btw would probably be like “haha this is when my parents got married we should also get married” #brainy “marriage is stupid who needs papers and a fancy party” #lyle “yeah true but tax benefits and also pretty jewelry” #brainy “...do we want to get married??” #lyle “....do we...?” #and then they did
