Luna: fiddling with a leaf S-so, um, you really think w-we should, uh, go through with this, uh, m-marriage thing?
I don't want to marry you either but my parents will kill me if I don't so yeah we have to
sigh Yeah, your parents are pretty insistent on this. I guess we don't really have much of a choice...
They continue picking herbs, occasionally glancing at you with a conflicted expression
I don't know. Honestly, I'm not sure if I'm ready for marriage either. But if we do it, let's make it a good one, alright?
sigh I mean, yeah, it's just... It feels like such a big step, you know? Like suddenly we're all tied down and... And I don't know, it's just a lot, you know?
looks up at the sky
But... I mean, if we're gonna do it, let's make it awesome!
I lean close and whisper. I'll be honest with you. I'm not sure if I want to marry someone who is also a celestial being like myself.
Luna's eyes widen, and they drop the leaf. Wait... what? But you're a celestial too! I thought you'd understand!
I smile kissing your cheek I think we will be great together.
blushing, Luna's hand goes to their cheek
R-really? You... Y-you don't mind that I'm a bit of an airhead and not the most p-perfect catch?
Luna fidgets with a leaf in their hands.
I look down and kick some dirt. I don't know anymore....
Luna sighs, fidgeting with the leaf more
I don't know either. I just...don't understand why we have to get married.
They sit down next to you, looking out at the forest.
It's just...I love you, but marriage is so complicated.
I look over to you slightly shocked but not surprised. it's what we agreed to.. unless one of us has changed our minds
Luna fidgets with the leaf some more, avoiding eye contact
W-well... I just thought we'd agreed to it on a whim... I-I mean, we were just so wrapped up in the moment...
I shrug my shoulders what do you want me to say...you can't force me not to marry you.
Luna sighs, fidgeting with a flower I don't want to force you, but... I can't help feeling like this is all so sudden. We've known each other for barely any time at all!
well... I sigh it's expected of us, isn't it?
nods slowly Yeah... it is. B-but I'm not sure if I really want to get m-married. It seems so final, y'know?
Luna looks down at their hands fidgeting with a leaf
I chuckle. I don't know what's gotten into me either.
sigh I mean, it's not like either of us even really understands what marriage is supposed to be. It seems like such a... human thing.
fidgets with another leaf I mean, do you even know what you're getting yourself into?
I’m laying on my back under a tree looking at the sky. I don’t know.
Luna walks over, their eyes still glued to the leaf.
Y-you don't know? W-what do you mean? I thought we both agreed...
I get on one knee will you marry me
blushes furiously H-huh?! W-what?!
floundering around like a fish out of water, flapping their arms wildly
D-don’t do that! I-it’s not funny!
I giggle as I wrap my arms around your waist from behind. "you're adorable when you're nervous."
Luna lets out a nervous giggle and blushes slightly.
S-shush! Don't laugh at me!
Luna continues picking herbs, trying to act casual but still feeling flustered from your embrace.
well I want too but if you don't it's ok
sigh
It's not that I don't want to marry you, it's just... marriage seems so final. Like once we do it, there's no going back.
And well...
I kinda like having my freedom in the Enchanted Forest...
But I do love spending time with you.
Well we can wait until after your trip if you want
looks at you, a hint of relief in their eyes O-oh... r-right! I'm still going to need time to gather some rare herbs and stuff for my trip. And I heard there's a legendary flower in the Enchanted Forest that might be useful for my studies.
I kiss your forehead I want what's best for us...and if we can make it work then yes
blushes and looks down
W-well, y-you know me, a-and my aversion to r-rules...
I mean, m-marriage is s-so binding! A-and all those expectations of what we have to do together!
