The last few days had been rough for Michael. He hadnāt been able to sleep for the last couple of days, even though Viri was okay. He couldnāt stop worrying about what had happened. The night terrors had come back, with terrors of Viri dying added in there. He came up to the door and opened it, rings of insomnia on his pale face, which he forgot to hood.āWhatāre you doing here,ā he said with an extremely exhausted expression on his face.@fateful-mercenary
The box? She wondered.Ā Why now?Ā Michael still wasnāt entirely well and her priority was making him feel better.Ā Meaning she would rather not let him go.
āDarling, hush. ā Smiling back at him, her voice humming gently.Ā Seeing him smile lit up her eyes.Ā Ā āGood, your smile soothes me.Ā ā
Glancing towards the box, she placed a hand over his.Ā Ā āIāll grab it, give me a moment.āĀ Her touch lingered over his hand for awhile, not wanting to be removed.Ā Standing up slowly, she walked towards the box.Ā Taking it in her hand she examined it as she walked back to him.Ā A small felted box.
Taking no mind to it, she crouched back down next to him, impatiently taking his hand into hers.Ā Holding the box out, her voice was soft.Ā Ā āHere.ā

Michael watched as Viri smiled back at him, his turmoil from before beginning to secede as she went to grab the tiny box, noting the way she made sure her hand touched his until the very last second. As Viri crouched down beside him, Michael reached out with his other hand and guided her so she was sitting next to him.Ā
With that same hand, he reached for the box and looked at the contents inside without Viri seeing, making sure she couldnāt either. Inhaling and exhaling slowly, he said,Ā āViridiana Rosenā¦.will you,ā before turning the box around, revealing a ring inside it.Ā āMarry me,ā he finished, a look of hope and love in his tired eyes.

The words he spoke seemed to almost slow down time.Ā Eyes widening she froze.Ā Thinking that perhaps she heard him wrong.Ā Staring for a few moments more his expression didnāt change.Ā The genuine wonder, and love in his eyes.
A wave of emotion that had washed over her from the start has returned and hit her full force.Ā Her eyes filled with tears almost instantly.Ā Lifting a hand lightly to her eyes, to almost cover her tears.
Outstretching her arms, she pushed herself towards him.Ā Practically landing on him full force, she embraced him.Ā Squeezing him as tight as she could, sobbing into his shoulder.
āYes!āĀ A muffled yell, as her face was staying buried in his clothes.Ā āOf..of course!ā The cracking in her voice was more noticeable this time.
