Marriage proposal/keeping the other person warm
“Newton, you'll catch your death likethat. I told you the forecast this morning, did I not?” Hermannsighed to the man, who was unrolling his sleeves hurriedly, jamminghis body against his boyfriends side. It was warm enough in theafternoon when they had first left home, and Newton had mockedHermann thoroughly for bringing “that ridiculous coat”. Thetemperature had since dropped significantly, and the skies seemedturbulent, ready to bury the world in rain or sleet.
“Meteorologists aren't realscientists, they're just weather astrologists! It's always a roll ofthe dice for those con-artists!” Newton exclaimed even as he beganto huddle himself closer, intent on getting inside of the parka, itseemed.
“Newton, that's a ridiculous thing tosay. Meteorology is absolutely a valid form of science. They usehighly advanced measuring tools along with chemistry and maths tomake educated predic-” Hermann explained.
“Hogwash! They're bullshit artists!Weather is chaos, they just throw darts at a board and hope they'reright sometimes!” Newt said, voice a pitch higher than normal.
“If I give you my coat will you stopdenouncing an entire field of study? Good god, Newton.” Hermannsaid. While he spoke, he was already shrugging off the parka. Heliked the way it looked on Newton, anyway. He swam in the garment ina way that made Hermann feel positively burly.
“Me shutting up won't negate the factthat they're glorified palm readers, but yes, gimme.” Newton madelittle grabbing motions with his hands, but paused. “Wait, you'regonna be cold and that bugs you way more than it bugs me.”
“I'm wearing a number of layers, I'llsurvive as long as we hurry home before the storm starts.” Hermannreassured him, pulling the parka off and kissing Newton's forehead ashe offered it out.
“Are you sure? I know it bugs yourhip when you get too cold, I don't wan--” Newton began, his toneswitching from chaotically loud to soft and concerned. A tone onlyever granted to Hermann. Newton was constantly giving Hermann theconsideration that no others ever really did, but only ever inprivate so as not to seem like he was diminishing Hermann. Newt wasconstantly, quietly conscious of Hermann's body in a way that did nottear him down by implying he was weak; he never babied, only checkedin. It was one of the many reasons he loved the strange littlefellow. One of the many reasons he planned to ask Newton to marryhim, if only he could work up the courage.
“Yes, I'm sure. You can warm me upwhen we get home, hm?” Hermann smirked just a little. Newt's eyeswent wide and he grinned that crooked grin that Hermann wanted to seefor the rest of his life.
“I'll spoon you all fuckin' nightbaby.” Newt wiggled his brows as he spoke, jamming his hands intothe parka pockets.
It was then that Hermann realized hismistake, eyes widening for only a moment before he regained hiscomposure. Inside the coats pockets was a little red velvet lined boxcontaining the engagement ring he had planned to propose with thatnight. He silently damned himself for not only failing to propose theway he had wanted; after dinner, as the sun set, atmosphere heavywith the promise of the sort of storm he and Newton loved to watchfrom their enclosed porch. He had tried, but the words caught in histhroat, and the timing seemed off. But now there was the danger thatNewton would find it, and all because he was still too nervous withhis feelings. They had drifted, they had saved the world, they hadgone through hell together, but Hermann still found himself choked upat the thought of Newton loving him the way he did.
“Uh oh. What's that face?” Newtonhad caught his slip up, hands still in the pockets.
“Mm- nothing. I'm fine.” Hermannlied, jaw setting. He hoped Newt would avoid doing what he knew hewould... Newton didn't ever value Hermann's personal space, and nowthat they were a couple, even less so.
“... Whatcha got here?” Newtonsaid, pulling out the box and opening it immediately. When he saw thering mounted in the middle, his eyes went wide and his feet stopped.
“.. Oh my god. Wait.” Newt said.
And then, to Hermann's horror, he burstinto laughter. His heart dropped as the noise he normally loved cutthrough him. The idea of marrying Hermann was that hilarious to Newt?Was it really that far-fetched to assume that after all they had beenthrough, he would want it to be legally binding? He knew Newt wasn'ta fan of traditional convention, but damn it, they had discusseditbefore! They had spoken about their idea of a perfect honeymoon, andwho they wouldn't invite to the wedding itself... Was Hermann reallysuch a fool for thinking it? The pain in his heart must havetranslated to his expression; Newton stopped laughing.
Onlythen did Hermann see the tears pouring down his cheeks in messylittle rivulets.
Onlythen did he see that Newt had something in his other hand.
“Wereyou gonna propose to me, dude?” Newt said, voice cracking.
“I– yes, but I lost the nerve...” Hermann said, a hand moving tobrush the tears from his cheeks.
WhenNewt looked up, he was grinning just a little.
“Fuck, Herms. Me too.” He laughed again, opening his other hand. “Allthrough dinner I wanted to like, yell it at you, but I kept gettingall choked up...”
“...What?” Hermann said, looking to his hand. In Newt's palm was asimilar box, kaiju-blue in color. Hermann took it, opening it to seea remarkably similar engagement ring mounted inside.
“...Why don't we say it on three?” Newt said, voice soft and full ofjoy.
“O-ofcourse.” Hermann's heart swelled, feeling full to bursting asNewton counted.
One,
Two,
Three--
“Newton,will you marry me?”“Hermann, will you marry me?”
This is maybe super specific but could you make a gay/pan icon of Data where he’s wearin the cowboy hat in Fistful of Datas? Ur icons are really cute thank u for doing the lords work lol
Posted! I did two from the Royale and one bonus from Fistful of Datas (mainly because there aren’t too many screenshots of him with the hat in the Royale but also because I’d already cut that one out, haha). Let me know if you want anything changed!
