Hey Destiny, I'm curious. In one of your fanfics (I don’t remember which one), you had Harley give MC a ring—I mean, it was basically like a marriage proposal and a wedding all at once, lol. To be honest, Pierrot (and Harley, if MC had told him, “I bet you don’t dare sign the marriage papers”) would be the only one who’d have a private wedding.
Or I don’t know, but in case the others fell in love with MC, how do you think each character would give MC a ring with that meaning? In the hypothetical case that they saw that MC would be very happy with something like that.
Other than Dead Leaves, I'm not sure where else I had Harlequin 'give' MC a ring. And even in that fic you never see him give it to MC--it's just that they had it when they were married.
That being said, here's how each would propose to MC:
Pierrot: First things first, you need to indicate that you WANT to be married. Pierrot is fine with just having you by his side, but he isn't the type to just 'propose' out of nowhere--he needs to know you want this. Plus, his life has been so hard and lonely that he never even dared entertain the idea of marriage in his deepest fantasies. As for the actual proposal--he would make all your favorite foods, a candle light dinner--pamper you til the sun comes up, and ask you <33 with either a rose in hand or a ring (that he may or may not have stolen from a fool's belongings omg).
Harlequin: At first he thinks the idea is silly--what good is a ring any way? You two already know you're meant for each other, so why bother? That is, until you mention it to him once or twice--and he notices the gray in your hair, first one strand, then two, three, etc. Harlequin puts the puzzle pieces together, realizes that you both only have a short time with one another, and immediately begins looking up online (and asking everyone) how he should go about this. In typical Harelquin fashion, he'll follow about half of the advice he's given and take you on a long walk. You both will crash a few parties, dance at a festival, and maybe even steal some tako yaki. All at the end, where he picks you up and takes you to the top of a building to watch the fireworks. Eventually, he just nudges a small black box, not even looking at you and asks: "I won't ask you.....but whatever you do....make sure that it's what you want....I won't stand in your way."
Doctor: All the monsters are dense, you really do have to spell it out for him IF you want to be married at all. Doctor likely will have a ton of questions for you, maybe even scoff a little at the more dramatic ideas you have in mind for a possible 'wedding'. You two end up talking about marriage more and more as you work. Exchanging flower arranging ideas while swapping someone's organs, filling test tubes and testing out vows at the same time. It's not until months later when Doctor sets a date you realize that you two have been engaged this whole time--the wedding will be in the fall, near halloween.
TicketTaker: He's been dreading the day you'd bring up this subject, he's a monster and you're a human--it's such a ludicrous idea. An abomination to some. Yet, he sees how much you want this and his mind begins racing. What would it be like....to be married to you? Would he like this? Does he want this? TicketTaker then realizes he needs to go over some terms with you---he'll basically draw up a bunch of papers and fake legal documents--something more intense than any pre-nup he could have you sign. Just as he hands you the quill, you ask him: "Is this a proposal?" and he freezes.....TicketTaker got so caught up in the legality of it all that he forgot to actually ASK you....and get a ring....You smile, gently holding his hand--he then mentions you two will go ring shopping tomorrow where you two can have a proper engagement.
Jester: You already bear his mark whether through branding or a tattoo---what do you need a flimsy ring for? Did you want to wear his pin again? Jester will pat you on the head, commenting about silly human rituals. Instead, he will introduce you to the monster ways of 'marriage' which don't involve jewelry. He'll prep you for it with one conversation that he fully expects you to have 100% paid attention to. It's not until you're being hunted by him in the middle of the woods, stark naked--does he mark you in the ways monster-kind has done for years. You two are now mated, and everyone in the circus as well as the monsters who come visit will all be aware of this; just as you two wanted.
