this was likely the most stupid yet romantic thing he would do in his entire life.
titaniumbullets was shaken. touketsu got captured, his adoptive sister was dead, and bonfirestar lost one of her lives. she died, for a moment. the tom now realized that they weren't immortal in spirit. they could die at any moment. but if he died by murder, or by old age, he wanted bonfirestar by his side.
ever since he met her as bittersweet, he watched them grow. from friends, to best friends, to mutual crushes, to boyfriend and girlfriend. and he wanted them to grow onward, to fiancées, and to husband and wife. he laid awake some nights, trying to picture himself without bonfirestar and he couldn't. her
smile, her voice, her pretty little fur and those gorgeous eyes and the flower crowns and the way she did everything haunted him. he couldn't deny that he loved her more every day until this moment. the whole arrangement took about an hour or two (he woke up extremely early to make sure no one saw him) and about two trips to a twolegplace.
he was sitting in a heart made of pastel-colored flower petals, with a portable CD player next to him. somehow, he had managed to raid a place that had a fully charged one, stole a CD, and was able to get it back here. he took the time to play the song every chance he could, repeating the lyrics for about two minutes a day. if it died, he went and raided the twolegplace again.
he had also raided the twolegplace to look for a ring. he finally found the one he wanted. it was a silver band that would fit on bonfirestar's ankle, with a large, gorgeous, shining peridot in the center of the ring, to symbolize the month they met; august. on the band itself were different colored jewels. one was red, which titanium wanted to take to mean they stuck together through bloodshed. another was blue, which meant he had been there for her when she needed him, and vice versa. the spectrum went to orange, white, green, and pink, which he believed meant they would be together through every season, every time things got rough. and finally, there was the silver of the band itself, which he used his dagger to encarve a cruddy looking bullet and a fire in a heart, symbolizing their names;
titaniumbullets and bonfirestar (formerly bonfirehearts).
with a deep breath, he began to speak from his location, center of camp in direct view of his girlfriend's den. first part is the romantic part of this speech. "bonfirestar? i need to speak with you." he didn't wait for her answer. "these past few months, since i joined sylvanclan, when i met you, have become the best of my life. spending these past few months, as your best friend, as your boyfriend, has made me realize that i love you. every night, i try to picture me without you and I can't.."
and here came the stupid part. he clicked play on the player, only playing the chorus of the song in the contraption.
"...cause we could be immortals, immortals.
just not for long, for long
and live with me forever now.
pull the blackout curtains down.
just not for long, for long.
cause we could be immor-immortals.
immor-immortals.
immor-immortals.
immor-immortals."
he signed, relieved that went as planned as he pushed the ring box forward.
"what i'm trying to say in my own goofy way is bonfirestar, will you marry me?"
