(inspired by something @uriahcantdraw wrote for me!!)
Maryland sat at the edge of the ocean, the sparkling, cool waves crashing up on her feet. The wind was blowing lightly, and the sun was just beginning to set. The air was warm and humid, and the sky was a bit cloudy, the colors of ruby and spessartine stretched across the evening sky as the sun’s warmth began to fall.
Mississippi was laying beside his girlfriend, admiring her glowing beauty in the gradient sky. Though he seemed.. nervous? Mary noticed his anxious body language and concern washed over her mind.
“Hey, sugar, you okay..?” She asked quietly, as to not raise his nervousness.
“Oh- uh- yeah. I’m good.” He replied, giving her a reassuring smile.
“You sure, hon? You seem anxious…” She said in a tone of concern weaved with worry.
“Mhm! Yeah, I’m just a little tired, ya know?” He responded, his tone growing more nervous as he fidgeted with something in his pocket.
“Oh. We can go home, if you’d like. It’s gonna be getting dark soon anyway.” Mary said, having no idea about his plans.
Sippi panicked a little, this was his only chance to ask her the question he’d been dying to ask since the day he first saw her in her smile. the awkward, weird little smile that he found endearing.
“We don’t have to leave yet- we could at least walk the boardwalk first!” He suggested in a slightly desperate tone
“You sure? If you’re tired we can leave-“ She got cut off by her boyfriend, who seemed to be growing more panicked.
“No! It’s fine, really! I just- I wanna wait for the sun to set. I wanna walk the boardwalk with you… you look really pretty in the sunset.” He said, giving her a soft smile.
“Aww. I’m flattered, sugar. We can go walk if you want.” She responded, returning a smile back at him.
He jumped up excitedley and helped her off her beach towel, holding her hand and giggling as they aaproached the boardwalk. He was so excited to hopefully make Mary, the girl he held so close to his heart, his wife.
“What’s got you all excited?” Mary asked teasingly.
“Mm, I just can’t believe I get to be here with you right now… the perfect girl…” Sippi replied, admiring the way her eyes shined in the glowing sunlight.
“Aww, stop it. I’m not all that great.” She said, her face flushing a light pink-ish color.
“… God, I could kiss you right now.” He teased, lightly smirking as her face grew more red.
“Oh- well. I- uhm. If you want to, you can…” She responded, her voice sounding more high pitched and flustered in tone.
“…Actually, I think I have a better idea. Just keep walkin’.” He said, holding her hand tighter as he started fidgeting with his pockets again.
As they reached the end of the boardwalk, Sippi just looked closely at Mary. Admiring all her cute little features. Her vitiligo covered skin, the dark freckles on her face that trailed down to her shoulders, the scars along her gentle, silky arms, the unique little tooth gap that showed when she smiled, the dark, crimson color of her eyes that glowed in the ever stretching sunset… God, he loved every little detail. He looked into her eyes and smiled, not his usual, anxious little smile, but a soft, genuine smile… the part of him that only she could fully understand, the part of him that only she could bring out in him. He felt safe and at peace when he was alone with her. He remembers the way his heart fluttered and his eyes sparked when he saw her for the first time. He remembered how gentle friendly and patient she was with him, even at his lower moments.
“God, you’re beautiful…” He whispered in a sweet, loving tone.
“Thanks, sugar… though I feel like there’s something you aren’t telling me.. you seem rather excited for this just being a usual date.” She mentioned. Though she adored his unusual energy, she knew something bigger was happening.
“I mean, I don’t have anything to tell you… but I do have something to ask, if that’s alright.” He replied as a warm, fuzzy feeling washed through his veins, as if the feeling of love was pumping to his heart in replacement of blood.
“Go ahead… I’m ready.” She said in a tone of reassurance, giving him a warm smile.
The Magnolia state looked deep into her eyes one last time, before pulling a small, velvet box out of his pocket. Mary covered her mouth in shock as he dropped to one knee and took a deep breath.
“…Mary, my sweetheart, I may not be your first pick, hell, may as well be your last… but you’ll always be first in my heart. You brought out a part of me that I didn’t know even existed… you made me feel loved, and happy. You’re the sweetest, most beautiful person I’ve ever met, and ever will meet, and I wanna make sure that you’re ready to share a beautiful chapter of my life with me.”
Mary’s eyes widened as warm, joyful tears formed in the corners of her eyes. Sippi let out a soft sigh as he flipped open the velvet box to reveal a golden ring with a small, glowing ruby in the center, the same ruby shade that flowed across the evening sky.
“So, with that being said,” he took another deep breath before continuing, his eyes full of love as he asked the question he’d been dying to ask, “Maryland, light of my life, would you do the honor of making me the the luckiest guy in the world and be the one to marry me?”
“Yes- yes- Oh my God yes!” The Old Line state exclaimed as the scorching tears fell down her cheeks. She was so overwhelmed by the burst of joy that ran through her mind. The Hospitality state giggled as he gently slid the perfectly sized ring onto her smooth, gentle hand.
“I love you- I love you so much-“ Mary sobbed out as she wrapped her arms around his neck.
“I love you too, mon ange.” He said, hugging her close to his chest.
The bright, glowing rays from the sun began to fade as the glowy cresent moon made way into the starry night sky. The cool, wispy wind blew against the two, as the sky was overtaken by a deep purple.
“Well, should we go home and cuddle now..?” Mary suggested, her tone quiet and gentle.
“Yeah… I can’t wait to go to sleep with my fiancè.” He teased, kissing her forehead softly.
“…God, you’re gonna break me one day.” She teased back as they walked back to the car.
“Yeah, and you’re gonna break me with how pretty you’ll be in your wedding dress.” He responed with a playful smirk.
“…Get in the damn car before I regret my desicion.” She said sarcastically.
“Okay- damn, I’ll let you cool off.” He said, returning the playfully rude tone.
They drove back to their small little house near the woods, both keeping the pink blushy layer on their faces. As soon as they got home, they jumped onto their bed, giggling and smiling warmly as their legs got tangled together. Mary buried her face into the Catfish state’s cushiony chest as she closed her eyes and drifted off into a deep sleep.
“Goodnight, sweetheart.” Sippi whispered, kissing her forehead before he pulled the blanket over the two of them and dozing off with his soon to be wife.
