Well, wait, no. I didn't bring food. I got a little distracted organizing this to remember that. But! Remember? The lake back home, the lanterns? I only have two, but. I talked to someone and got them to let us borrow the boat for a bit tonight.
[So they could release the lanterns together. Out on the lake like that first time they had almost kissed. Where they would have had their first kiss had Eugene not gotten distracted by the Stabbington brothers. She smiles at his gentle squeeze at her hand, at his kiss at her cheek as she proceeds to slow, showing him the small boat and the two lanterns in it.]
I thought we could row out and release them together. Like then.
( He may not have been tottaly serious about the food, but after hearing her about why she didn't bring any makes him curious. Eugene waits patiently for her to explain, there's even a little light on his eyes after remembering that occasion. How would he forget that day? Its pros and cons... Really, all of it was hard, not to say impossible, for him to forget.)
That sounds perfect to me!
( Not to mention that brings them an opportunity to make even better memories. Well, knowing that there are no twin brothers to bother them already makes that day better for him. Oblivious of how much better it can get. With a soft smile on his lips he releases her hand only to approach to the boat, giving it a quick glanze. Pretending to have some manners -which wasn't exactly a lie-, he placed one of his hands behind his back and offered the other to her.)
[She gives a smile, nodding and taking the offered hand to help her lower down into the boat, sitting herself on the side with the lantern she set for herself. To ensure he gets the one with the ring attached to it. She isn't sure how long it might take him to notice it, of course but still. She helps him in and can't help but to smile while biting her lip and hunch her shoulders a little briefly in her excitement. As she glances out at the water, the reflection of the moon and stars.]
( Eugene bows slightly when she takes his hand, taking the knight role pretty serious for a moment. He says nothing, just helps her get inside and doesn't move till Rapunzel is already on her place. Just in case, not wanting her tripping or something like that. )
Ok, let's go then!
( Didn't take him long to get back to his self. After getting the boat he pushes his foot on the shore, making sure to keep a proper hold on the boat as it moves to don't fall and make a clown of himself. Soon he sits on the free place, without even looking at his lantern. Since, obviously, he just knows what she has said to him he has no idea there's something for him hiding. Actually, she may have to keep an eye on him just to make sure he doesn't free the lantern with ring included. )
How did you come up with this? I should let you plan more days- ( Because asking Max for some help was, clearly, out of the question. Even if the horse was on this world. He had enough with one time. As he talks, he takes the rowings. )
I just....thought back to our first days together. When you helped me back home, leaving the tower.
[ The start of it all. That seems...important? To take into account somehow. With her idea of proposing to him. She doesn't know his actual birthday and had to guess back home, but. This would do. It was perfect a timing as she could figure. Rapunzel gives a shrug, though her expression with her smile and slightly pink cheeks tells she seems glad he likes this. So far.
It's only once they are further out she reaches to the lanterns. And says the same thing she had before.]
I have something for you.
[Then, quickly, before he gets the idea to send his off.]
( As embarrassing as the first days might be, considering how Eugene was back then, it cracks a bigger smile on his face. A good thing came from Flynn. Maybe more, even if minor compared with his first encounter with Rapunzel. He tries to take the oars with the intention to row a bit further, but stops all his actions as soon as he sees her taking the lanterns. )
On my lantern? ( Curiosity is obvious on his face, and Eugene almost feels like a child for a moment. Taking his lantern with both hands, he checks it properly till his eyes falls on the ring. His smile vanishes as he blinks a few times. ) W-what's this?
( He doesn't dare to assume what the ring means, not with how well the first time he asked went. But the whole idea of what it may mean, even if it isn't far from the truth, makes his heartbeats go faster. Way too fast, probably. But he doesn't care. Neither of the soft crimson tint spreading around his cheeks and nose. )
It's....a ring. An engagement ring. I even had them figure the Corona symbol. I know I wasn't sure if I was ready and there was....a lot, going on back home and all. But...it was never that I didn't love you, Eugene. I just needed time? Space to figure things? And Verens has given me that. I know we'd probably still have another wedding with everyone back home, but. Here? I missed you so much, Eugene.
Your laugh, the way you always make me laugh and cheer me up. The way you've really tried so hard since I first met you, to try change for the better. All of you. I don't want to miss any of it. So, what do you say?
[She raises a hand, biting her lip as she reaches clumsily to brush some of her hair back, as Pascal at her shoulder observes, eyes pleading almost, as he glances to Eugene, miming placing the ring at his....er...foot. Rapunzel figures this would be a yes, given it was him that asked back home and all, but part of her can't help but to still be nervous and excited all at once. She can feel the heat at her cheeks and nose as she glances to him, watching him discover the ring, watching his smile vanish like that.]
( Eugene looks at the ring as he listens to her. That ring was exactly what he thought, and for some reasons he doesn't know how to feel. He is happy, of course he is! There is nothing that could make him happier than knowing she, like him, wanted to spend the rest of her life with him. However, there's a part of him that kind of feels ashamed for not being him the one taking the step to ask her. Well, ask again. But who could blame him? He is pretty new around there if compared to the time she spent around, so he was still learning everything, trying to get used to his surroundings. And Rapunzel was with him, so he had no mind to think about anything else.
But now that she asked him? That she made it clear she is ready to take that step? He isn't going to be the one to refuse such a happy ending. Bitting his lower lip he takes the ring with one of his hands, placing the lantern down as he inspects it better. It's beautiful, no one can deny that. )
What do I say? ( Those words leaves his lips like a whisper, glancing up at her. A soft smile makes its way on his lips as he reaches out to take her hand with his free one, wanting to intertwine their fingers affectionately. ) I love you and I don't want to live a single day without you, Rapunzel. You are the sun that lights my life... And I could say alot of things, but nothing would be enough. So I'll say it simple; nothing would make me happier than marrying you.
( There's a pause as he glances back to the ring. He is unsure, and... let's being honest, Pascal's demonstration was more funny than anything to Eugene. After a few seconds he ends up offering -carefully- the ring to her; she has been the one taking such a big step, so she should be the one having the honor of sealing the moment aswell. )
[Rapunzel watches his reaction, listening to him basically saying yes. Confirming it. Of course she figured he would agree to the idea. It's just a whole other thing with doing it here, away from so many they would want to be able to celebrate with. He takes her hand and it reminds her of the first time they went out in that boat on the lake of Corona. This was smaller, much smaller with only their two lanterns, but even so. She glances up to him, unable to keep her own expression from softening with him as he speaks, as their fingers entwine.
She takes the offered ring with her other hand, reaching and carefully slipping it to his finger.]
I know this took longer. Longer than you'd have liked. But....we can make the most of things here. And of course back home they'll want a huge thing.
[Here they could have something more intimate and smaller in comparison. If they wanted.
Well. Given Rapunzel, it might not be as small, with her befriending most everyone, but still.]
( Eugene's eyes remain fixed on her actions, watching as the ring slides over his finger. His smile seems to widen at that image; It is not her finger that is decorated with an engagement ring, but the meaning is the same. Does it matter who's finger has the ring? Brown meets green when he hears his words, at which point he shakes his head slightly. )
I will not deny that it took long, but no 'more than it should'. I promised to wait for you. Wait for you to be ready. And that I have done, and would have done as long as necessary.
( Perhaps there are no lanterns in the sky illuminating them as in the first time they were both in a boat, but the droplets around him that reflect the moonlight give a more personal and intimate touch to that moment. He is aware, at that moment, that perhaps the rapid beating of his heart is not the only 'visible' sign of what he feels for her. But it seems that he doesn't care anymore, nor does the idea scare him. )
Are you sure you don't want to wait to get back to Corona? I don't mind celebrating it twice, or all that is needed. I'm just... You know, I want to be sure you are sure of this. Of everything.
You did promise. I just....there was a lot happening, back home with everything. But here, I got a bit of a break. time to think about it all and....I'm ready. I love you, Eugene. And I can't wait to celebrate that love with everyone. Here and back home.
[Rapunzel bites her lip as she watches the ring slide on, smiling as she then glances back up to him, her free hand at his cheek as she reassures him. Pascal climbing to her shoulder seeming satisfied now, if that smirk at his features is any indication. She knows he hasn't been here as long, but at the same time she does want to share this with her friends here. The friends she wouldn't get to, back home.]
( Eugene doesn’t know what to say, her words repeating over and over in his mind. He couldn't be happier. All those questions that arose at the time he was rejected -well, his proposal was rejected- now non-existent or already answered. All pride thrown overboard at the moment when tears threaten to escape. Happy and loving tears, but tears after all. He says nothing as he laughs at how he is reacting, leaning forward to rest his forehead against hers. The hand with the ring caressing her forearm. )
Let’s celebrate it as many times as you wish. We may not be married yet, but I’m all yours. I will do anything in my power to make you happy... And, to be honest, two weddings sounds pretty cool. How many people can say they married the same person twice?
I don't know how many. But I just figured....this way we could celebrate with all our friends. I kind of figure we can have something a little smaller and more relaxed here? At least. In comparison to what would be expected back home, you know.
[Because that is what will happen. That is what they will get, with Raps being royalty and all. So of course the wedding in Corona would be bigger, fancier and more formal and all. It's part of the reason why she wants this here too. To kind of prepare. To work herself up to it back home and all. Her expression softens, as she glances from the ring to seeing those tears, reaching with a hand to wipe at his cheek before they rest their foreheads together, his darker hair mingling with her bright blonde.]
You mean with all the attention we will get back home? I can live with it.
( As much as he enjoys being the center of all the attention -when it's for good reasons-, he isn't really serious and tries to make it obvious with his tone. Eugene understands what she means and, if there's something she needs, he will do anything to give it to her. And a more relaxing celebration sounds easy enough to do. He remains silent for a bit, just enjoying her presence and company. )
You know... ( His voice soft to not to startle her or something after his silence ) Since I'm the one wearing the ring, does that mean I'm the one planning it? Because, if so, let me tell you I have no idea of what to do.
[She bites her lip, brushing some hair back behind her ear as she glances to him. This was...a lot. But at the same time it has been a long time coming. They've waited long enough. And this way they could celebrate with friends here too. Even if the planning is still something they have to figure yet exactly.]
I already mentioned to Usagi. She can help us plan it together. I mean, I know there's the venue? And guest list and flowers and what to eat? But there's probably a lot I haven't thought of exactly, so. I figured I could at least ask her for help. Of course you can help too, Eugene. If you have ideas.
[Rapunzel has...decidedly less experience with weddings. Aside from crashing the one Eugene almost had with Stalyn that is.]
