Listen.
Clark was abysmally in love with Sunako. If he wasn't immortal, he'd love her till the day he died and would do anything in order to keep her close. To hold her close.
So why was he so caught up in his inventions lately? As far as his cousin, madam Monroe, was concerned, there wasn't any friction between the two of them that could cause Clark to distance himself from Sunako.
Hell, Madam Monroe would go as far as to claim that Clark would just bicker with Sunako until he was ready to genuinely reach out to her.
Sure their relationship was rather rocky before anything romantic flourished, but it was each other's cunning that drew one to the other. And Marylin would have to applaud Clark for being able to pull it off so well.
Speaking of which, Madam Monroe was standing in front of the door to Clark's laboratory. Sighing, she knocked in three different patterns. All of which would signify that it was her who was knocking.
After a couple of moments with seemingly no response, Clark opened the door and begrudgingly allowed his cousin to enter his lab.
"What are you doing…" She allowed her question to trail off, eyeing the laboratory with intent. Nothing seemed to be out of place, although Clark's anxiety-filled expression told a completely different story.
Clark hummed in response, "What are you doing here, Mary?" He questioned, filled with suspicion.
She answered with a tone that was just as filled with suspicion as his own."I could ask you the same thing, Clarkson."
Clark shuddered at the mention of his full name before facing his cousin directly."Just answer the question, Mary." He crossed his arms.
Madam Monroe fought the urge to snort, seeing Clark's small frame mixed with a relatively broad sort of build amused her of sorts.
"Is it wrong for me to visit my dearest darling-est cousin during an hour of need?"
"When the hell have you ever said shit like that."
Madam Monroe gasped, albeit a little dramatically."Clarkson…. Meryl could be in this room, y'know." She commented.
Upon hearing her words, Clark panicked before frantically looking around the room for the young girl he'd prevent himself from swearing in front of.
But then he realized that she was probably just messing with him, and quickly sent her a scowl followed by an unseemly hand gesture.
Madam Monroe fought back her urges, but she ended up giving up and started laughing profusely at her cousin."It was so obvious that she wasn't in the room! Honestly, Clark, what's gotten you so paranoid all of a sudden?"
Clark's eyes widened before he, ever so hesitantly, picked up a small box.
It didn't take long for the realization to hit Marylin, beautiful Marylin, to realize what was inside that box.
"Clark…. Don't tell me-"
"Yup. I'm gonna do it… I'm gonna propose to her."
Madam Monroe inhaled sharply, unaware of how Sunako would react to such a proposal. But that wasn't her main priority at the moment.
What was her main priority at that moment was what kind of ring Clark got for Sunako. And based on the increasing rate of random explosions in his lab, she was sure that it was a ring of his own making.
Madam Monroe placed a hand on Clark's shoulder. The look in her eyes suggested to Clark that she most definitely wanted to see what kind of ring he got for his Sunako.
His darling, deadly, Sunako.
When he opened the small velvet box, his cousin audibly gasped at the sight before her.
The ring was practically a kaleidoscope. She could never figure out if it was gold, silver, or bronze. And she could barely figure out what kind of gemstone was atop of the ring.
It was beautiful. Something that she knew Clark would make for someone.
That someone is Sunako.
"Clark….. This ring is lovely." She smiled fondly, eyes softening as she eyed the ring with deep intent.
Clark blushed at the thought of Sunako wearing it, but closed the box and rested it on top of his table."Yeah, thanks. But…." He cleared his throat, feeling a bit awkward.
"Well- Mary- Can I ask you something?"
"Hm? Of course, what is it?"
"...... Do you think she'll say yes?"
That…. That was a question Marylin almost didn't know the answer to. She felt unsure of how she should respond.
But in the end, she rested her arm on Clark's broad shoulders, an assuring smile on her freckled face.
"I may not know the answer to that, but I do not doubt in my mind that Sunako loves you enough to likely say yes."

Sunako was alone in the training area in HSA, far too busy trying to challenge her own physical capabilities to even notice Clark enter the room.
He snorted quietly, finding it attractive how intent she is on proving a point. How precise her movements are, not to mention how incredible she looked while performing them.
When he whistled out for her, Sunako stopped in her tracks and slowly faced the direction where Clark was. Right in front of the doors of the training area.
Sunako pursed her lips, slowly walking up to her benevolent inventor of a lover."Clark…" was what she first said.
He grinned, but his smile didn't reach his eyes."Heh. Good to see you too, Sunako." Clark crossed his arms with a delightful little grin on his face.
Behind her blindfold, Sunako narrowed her eyes. She put her hand on her waist, a daunting look of suspicion painted all over her blindfolded face.
"What are you doing here?"
"Aww, is it wrong of me to visit my most beautiful girlfriend who can and absolutely will beat my ass whenever she's given the cha-"
"Just get to the point."
Clark's smile never wavered, yet Sunako still noticed that it never quite reached his eyes."Just came to spar. Kind of wanted to work on my physical capabilities in combat."
Well, that was a bald-faced lie, Sunako likely thought. But either way, she knew that she probably wasn't going to get an answer out of Clark if she asked.
So she simply reluctantly nodded and walked back to the place she had been sparring in.
"Are you sure you want to do this?"
Clark took off his jacket, smirking deviously."You sure as hell I am." He replied coyly.
She rolled her eyes behind her blindfold before she began lunging at him with incredible speed.
Luckily for Clark, he was just as fast as Sunako and was able to dodge quite a number of her precise attacks. Quite a surprise until you remember that they likely learned from each other.
In the middle of the session, Clark tackled Sunako to the ground.
She groaned, jaw clenched."What was that for?" She questioned, visibly annoyed.
Clark, unlike his dutiful pioneer of a cousin, didn't fight back the urge to snort. Let alone at Sunako.
"You haven't felt the odd texture on your middle finger yet, have you?"
"What odd text-" Sunako stiffened once she felt the ring with her bare, calloused fingers.
She went dead silent. More silent than she'd ever been. And that scared Clark.
But that wasn't enough to stop him from asking the question.
"Sunako Hiyama….. For the time I have known you, I'm very much aware that despite my continuous annoyance, you are secretly attached to me."
She didn't know if she was going to like where this conversation was headed.
"And, admittedly, I was batshit scared of you. But that was in the past, just like this moment will be when I ask this question."
Sunako came to a realization seconds before he even asked the question.
Clark felt tears at the brim of his eyes, fearful of how she'd respond.
"Sunako….. My beautiful Sunako…. Will you marry me?"
Sunako sat up, remaining silent and leaving Clark anticipating utter rejection from her.
But then she leaned her forehead against his own, wiping away whatever tears were on his face.
".... Yes."

Hi Sakura ^^ I hope you liked this oneshot. Thankfully, I managed to post this oneshot before white day o-(-<
A miracle, I know, but still, I digress. I also hope that I did justice to Sunako's character, especially since I haven't written anything related to her in a while
But either way, I hope you enjoy(ed) this oneshot, Sakura!
