*nervous laughter* hey everyone....
so I know that this isn't an update to Literal Perfection and I know that you've all been asking me for updates, but I've realised that I can't write a story with interconnecting chapters so I will be abandoning the story I had and will probably just write one shots and do requests from now on, I'm so sorry to everyone who enjoyed my story but is just so difficult to write it; I haven't updated the story since November and I don't even know how to begin writing chapter 3 so I won't, if anyone wants to take ownership of Literal Perfection and write it instead then that's perfectly (haha) fine, just dm me and we'll sort it out, thanks for being so patient with me, love you all,
Now, onto the story :)

"Darling" came the exasperated sigh of your lovely boyfriend Darius, "you can't keep the Abominations, I need them!"
You didn't respond to him, instead cooing gently over the tiny goop creatures, watching them stumble around and pick things up, bring them to you like an offering.
Darius groaned pinching the bridge of his nose and drew a circle in the air, recalling the small Abominations and making them dissappear.
You looked back at him, "Hey! Bring them back, I was playing with them!"
Darius glared at you, "my dear you are not a child, and they are not playthings."
"They're my babies! Our children, we created them!"
"No I created them to do jobs for me, not for you to coo over!"
You crossed your arms and rolled your eyes, "fine, whatever, I'll see you later Darius.", you said and left the room.
It was a few days after this conversation that you decided that you needed to see the baby Abominations again, that you would die if you didn't, and the Titan must have owed you a favour because you found one strolling through the corridors of the Coven holding a letter addressed to Raine.
You followed after it from a distance, not wanting to startle it, you didn't even know if you could, and after it delivered its note, you walked over to it.
"Hello little baby," you addressed it, your voice soft and high pitched.
You bent over to pick it up, nearly squealing when it lifted its tiny stubby arms to you.
You walked back to yours and Darius' shared room, carrying the abomination in your arms, and sat down on the plush bed.
"Aren't you just the best delivery creature?", you cooed at it, cuddling the thing gently, "do you have anything to deliver to me?"
You watched the creation look around the room before it climbed down your hands and slithered off the bed, travelling over to the chest of drawers that stood opposite to you.
It climbed up the wooden structure and looked around before stumbling over the the wooden box that housed Darius' jewellery.
You continued to observe the creature as it opened the lid of the box and closed it again, laughing as it repeated this step multiple times, but you stop laughing when a small compartment opens on the side of the box.
You got off the bed and went over to investigate, picking up the baby and placing it on your shoulder before lifting the box in your hand.
Inside the compartment was a small jewellery box, it was pale blue and tied in a small navy ribbon.
You untie the ribbon and open the box, what was in the box made you freeze; it was a ring, a white gold ring with small crystals on it and a gem of your favourite colour on top.
You take the ring out of the box and examine it closer, there was an engraving on the inside of the ring, "13/7/19X- The Broken Bone at Sundown".
A wide smile broke out across you face, "Our first date", you whispered, pure adoration dripping from your words.
You looked back at the tiny abomination, "thank you little baby."
You put the ring back in its box and closed it, you were about to retie the ribbin when the door opened and Darius walked in.
He had his mouth open about to say something but it closed when he say the box in your hands.
He slammed the door shut with his heel and snatched the box from you hands, startling you greatly.
"Did you open this?", he questioned you, raising his voice almost in anger.
You stood there in shock for a moment before nodding.
Darius then saw the abomination attached to his shoulder and his eyebrows furrowed, "Did you ask that to bring you this?".
'Why is he so mad?', you wondered, 'it's not like you'd never find out about it.'
"No", you started slowly, "I just asked if they had anything to deliver to me and they showed me the ring", your grin returned and your cheeks darkened, "when were going to propose?"
"I wasn't, well I was, but not with this ring, it's too small for your finger", Darius admitted, fidgeting with the box and, quite uncharacteristically, looking very nervous.
You walked over to him and wrapped your arms around him, resting your head on his shoulder.
You heard him sigh and wrap his arms around you, "I had been planning this for awhile, Darling, I was going to take to the Broken Bone and propose to you there, but then the ring arrived and it wasn't the right size, so I couldn't, I had to wait until the new one arrived, I thought I had done a good job of hiding this one but clearly not."
"Aww, Darius", you said fondly, before replaying some of what he said in your mind, "wait how did you know the ring was too small? Did you measure my hand or something?"
Darius went red with embarrassment, "You and Rain have very similar hand sizes okay? I didn't want to ruin the surprise by asking you so I had to improvise!"
You chuckled softly at him, this man he was such a goof sometimes.
You took the box back from him and smiled, "Well I'm not going to let you put this to waste."
You sat back on the bed and Darius followed suite, watching as you retrieved the ring and drew a circle around it, making the band glow orange and shift in shape.
The piece of jewellery dropped back into your hand, no longer an engagement ring, but now a simple earring.
You turned to Darius, "I know you don't have your ears pierced, but, will you accept this clamp earring and make me the luckiest witch on the Boiling Isles by marrying me?"
Darius' eyes glossed over and he scrunched up his face as if he were about to cry and nodded, "yeah, I will marry you Darling."
You smiled and turned his face to the side, attaching the jewellery to his lobe and clamping it in place, then Darius pulled you in by your shoulders and kissed you softly.
You sighed against him and pulled back, still grinning.
"I'm still proposing to you though, I've been planning this for too long to just not go along with it."
"How long have you been planning this, can I ask?"
Darius stared at you and them looked at the floor, "Uh, since our second date?"
