*It looks even more freshly polished and carefully decorated than when she tried it on at the stand.*

.... Conny....

*He takes a shaky breath and tries to continue without passing out from anxiety and emotion.*

Y-you asked earlier... the thing I said, that Icia freaked out over what it meant.... a-and I've said it so much before, vuoi sposarmi, non vedo l'ora di sposarti, sposami e basta, sposarti, sposami, sposami, sposami- it means marriage. Will you marry me, I can't wait to marry you, just marry me already, ever since I scared you that one night, I've been asking and saying it, over and over and over to try and make this a bit less terrifying.... and then- and I wasn't even planning on it until you asked, and I knew I couldn't hide it from you....

*He sniffles a bit, voice breaking.*

I have never loved someone like I love you. I have never wanted to be loved by someone more than you. And.. I've never wanted to commit to someone more than you. I've never ever ever considered myself even close to husband material, but for you, I want to be the beat husband possible. I want to make you laugh, make you blush, make you smile, I want to introduce you to everyone and say "This is my wife, Conny", and I want to spend every waking fraction of a second being yours, forever and ever. You make me want to be so much more than I am, and every day I'm more and more enamored and obsessed with you. Conny, I-I can't live without being yours. I need to be yours more than I need food and water and air and if I'm not then I don't know what to do with myself...

... traditionally, this would probably include some kind of serenade, but I can't think of anything perfect enough for you or to describe how you are to me... I really, really, really suck with words, but dammit, I'm trying here so gimme some credit-

*He laughs a bit, wiping his eyes.*

I gotta get this over with before I faint... ... um... Conny...... I love you more than anything, and....

*He gets on one knee as best as he can with spring legs that don't have joints.*

... will you marry me?

..... please?

she couldn't stop the tears evidently but that didn't matter. The answer was obvious, yes a million times over. She feels her voice catch in her throat for a moment. She nods reaching out to him and letting the happy tears spill.

*Starro feels himself grow very, very, very, VERY warm.*

*Conny can probably feel it too. She really feels this way about him...?*

*..... damn. He's feeling pretty lucky right now.*

[Gimme heads or tails. Also random question, can Jessy teleport?]

(tails and yes, hes a god, he can do anything except make himself taller)

she's so soft

[conny-in-the-box]

Yeah... um... see you soon! Love you...

*He smiles and reluctantly turns and leaves.... wait what did he say? Did she catch that?*

she froze for a moment before entering her room

She quickly closed the door, face very red

Did- did he just say what she think she said

(Oh my god)

[conny-in-the-box]

You're pretty. I love you lots... y'know that.? *he buries his face into her neck ruffles, peering out at their reflections with one eye. It just looks like Toni's just burying his face in her neck with a goofy little smile.*

she giggles, a goofy little smile appearing on her face too.

I love you too, mi amor

[conny-in-the-box]

*He's bouncing in place quickly now, clearly he's absolutely ELATED about this.*

OKAY- okayokayokay um- tonight then! Yeah-! I'm gonna go practice and get ready- tonight? Tonight. I'll see you then!!!! Um-

*He kinda just goes back and forth for a moment, as if he can't decide what exactly to do, but then he suddenly hugs Conny really tight for just a quick second. God, how he wishes a hug like that would last for hours on end. However, he still pulls away, almost before she can process it.*

Um- yeah-! See you then!! *And he rushes out, stars swirling with pink and neon yellow.*

Bye

[conny-in-the-box]

*Conny opens her door to a small bundle of red and blue roses tied with a yellow curly ribbon, and a single card as to who it's from... which, of course, reads Starro's name on it. Awww.*

she smiles as she sees it and takes it into her room where she removes the ribbon and places the roses in a vase and reties the ribbon around the lip.

[conny-in-the-box]

*And he loves hearing it.*

*He adjusts the blanket a bit so he's coverting more of her legs, before lifting his head from her lap and leaning it against her side in a lazy, loving hug.*

she smiles and hugs him back the best she can.

[conny-in-the-box]

*Starro closes his eyes with a content sigh, snuggling deeper into his blanket.*

Thanks, ciccina...

mhm.

She's always more than happy to play it for him.
