💎 Would they rather propose or be proposed to? (matt)
Matt doesn’t like thinking about romance, much less about his future in romance. It doesn’t seem to work out for him, one way or another. It ends in transphobia, or in unrequited feelings, or in Tinder conversations that end as soon as he turns down an offer for a dick pic.
But that doesn’t mean he doesn’t think about it, sometimes. Sometimes he’ll watch a stupid movie, or he’ll let his mind drift, and the thoughts are there. Laying in bed together with someone, talking about nothing. He can’t even tell where his limbs end and theirs begin--
And Aether, marriage. He can only imagine being married to someone who he really knows. Someone that knows him, someone who can share in the hard moments, and laugh through the good. Someone to have a petty disagreement with, glad that these are their problems. Someone who will have asked him to marry them casually, with no grand public gesture--he thinks he’d be too embarrassed to deal with that.
Oh. He thinks he’d want to be proposed to--is that bad? Does that make him less of a--that’s bullshit, Matthew. He gets to daydream about this shit, too, right? It’s not like he’d never propose to someone if the timing was right, or if he really wanted to ask. But it’s exciting, to prove one more time that wow, yeah, this person is like... actually fucking into him.
