Catte!! <33 Something for you to think about, you mentioned a wedding comm with Mao Hua & Kokomi and I was wondering if you had any lore regarding the proposal? ^^

Omg hello Hazellll :DD Super sorry this took a while to answer but omg I've been thinking of this ever since you got it and I've been blushing and giggling whenever I think of it 🫣😳 /pos

In truth the proposal was a lil funny ( but still super super cute !! ) because when Mao Hua was planning to propose, she knew that she wanted it to be a private thing, since she and Koko talked about it a little before, and they agreed that if (when) something like this happened, they both preferred a proposal that was just the two of them— a memory that only the two of them shared ♡♡

So for that day, Hua enlisted the help of Kokomi's attendants to keep her busy for the whole day while Hua got the surprise prepared ! She set up their bedroom at Sangonomiya Shrine full of flowers, and keeping the curtains and windows open to let a fresh breeze drift through the room ♡ She also made some of Kokomi's favorites for dinner — including her own fried rice, and the bird egg sushi that Koko adores— and set it all up in front of the window, so that they'd have a beautiful view for their dinner ♡ Honestly, whenever she looks back, Mao Hua gets a teeny bit embarrassed because in hindsight, the whole setup was so cliche and damn cheesy, but she doesn't regret it at all— not when she remembers the awed and touched look on Kokomi's face when she entered their bedroom and saw the flowers, the sunset, and Mao Hua waiting for her in the middle of it all, nervous smile on her face, hands clasped behind her back, and her tail swinging behind her.

Dinner had been an enjoyable affair, if not with an undercurrent of a feeling of something's gonna happen. Just as Hua had predicted, Kokomi had enjoyed the food and enjoyed the view, and when it was finally the time for Hua to ask Kokomi to do her the honor of becoming her wife, goodness, her hands were honestly shaking and it was the most nervous that the priestess had ever seen her! It was both terribly endearing and wholeheartedly adorable ♡ Mao Hua even got on one knee in front of her, giving her a smile (though it was wobbly and undoubtedly nervous) as she said, this is how the people nowadays do it, isn't it? as she pulled out a pretty golden ring— simple in nature, but no less beautiful, and with a number of glittering white crystals decorating it tastefully.

And, to Hua's surprise, Kokomi giggled at first, though the sound was almost a sob (in the best way) even as she laughs. And the adeptus is confused at first— until Kokomi goes to one of her drawers and, after rummaging around in it, produces her own gorgeous silver ring— one that's pretty and yet demure in it's beauty. One that Mao Hua falls in love with isntantly.

"I was planning to ask you next week," Kokomi laughs, crystalline tears of joy dotting her eyes as she walks back over to where Mao Hua still kneels on the floor, sharp green eyes widened and looking so soft as she gazes at the ring in Kokomi's hand. The priestess takes a knee as well in front of the adeptus, her smile a tiny, private thing. And when Kokomi takes her free hand in her own, Mao Hua thinks for a second that she just might cry. This priestess's smile, the love that shines in her eyes and the way that her hands hold hers so softly— it almost makes her think that she's dreaming, and she's only barely holding it together.

"I guess you beat me to it, didn't you?" Kokomi laughs softly, and in an instant, Mao Hua crumbles in her hands.
