Amethyst/Introduction

Out to the boardwalk, Fury leads you. Down the stairs on to the sand. Away from the bustle of the crowd, out to where there's only the sussurus of the waves and the cries of waterfowl. He turns his gaze to the moon and what few stars are visible through Prospect's light pollution. Once that's done, he stops, turning to face you. "Amethyst," he rumbles softly. "I... never done nothin' like this before. But." He blushes, then, and suddenly looks... sheepish. Almost shy, even. "We've been through a hell of a lot, you an' me. We've laughed, we've cried, we've shared everything we are with each other. An'. I wanna do that. Share everything. With -you-." He digs into his cargo pocket, producing a small velvet box. His eyes twinkling again as he drops to one knee, opening the box. "So... will you marry me?" he asks softly, holding the box up. Within is a sleek silver ring, with an inset band that glimmers with an array of high-tech LEDs, creating the illusion of a starfield.

Amethyst is all too happy to walk with you. She's got her hippie side and her tech-loving side, and appreciation for all in the world runs deep. Those inquisitve blue-green eyes watch you quietly, trying to read you, as you talk.. and then you drop to one knee. And there's a ring. BOTH hands go over her mouth in surprise, and probably to muffle a squeak of surprise. So many emotions go through those eyes, as they flick from ring, to you, to the ring, and back again. As soon as she trusts her voice, those hands drop to the necklace around her neck, over her heart. "YES!" is the unhesitating and overjoyed reply, as if she's been holding it in. Though.. it's her turn to look sheepish as she reigns in that youthful enthusiasm. The girl blushes, glancing down shyly. "I mean.. it's.. not a joke, right? For real?" That thought does cross her mind. She looks up at you for reassurance.

Fury's face breaks into a broad, beaming grin as you give that answer. It's like the sun coming through the clouds, illuminating all the world. He takes the ring from the box and gently slides it onto your finger. It's a perfect fit. Then, he lets loose a deep rumble of laughter, rising up from the sand. His arms sweep around you, and he lifts you off your feet, twirling you around joyfully before he bends you back to claim a long, loving kiss. "Well... I -did- beat ya at Street Fighter 2 Alpha," he says in answer to your question. But he's only able to hold his expression for a moment before he laughs again. "No, it ain't a joke. It's real. I want you to be my wife, Ame. My Player Two. My other half. I want you to be mine." He kisses you again, cradling you close. The whole world seeming to hold its breath for a moment as he holds you there, beneath all the glories of the night skies, and all the uncountable wonders they conceal. The best, most wonderful of all those secrets in his arms, right at this moment. -You-.
