imagine being a stay-at-home spouse with jade, and every time you're bored and want to surprise your husband, you embroider tiny, different mushrooms into different articles of clothing. a little mushroom at the end of his sleeve, a mushroom on his pockets on his jeans, a mushroom over his heart of his cardigan...
by the time he comes home, you shower him in affection, staying still and letting him lean his weight on you as he recharges. and when he asks you what you've been up to for the day, you giddily pull out the article of clothing and show him your artwork, and the gentle smile that curls his lips is more than enough for you to believe all the accidental needle pricks weren't in vain.
he wears that article of clothing as often as possible, showing off to his friends and colleagues about what an endearing and talented his spouse is, and from the way his eyes sparkle when he's talking about you, every one knows how devoted and down bad he is for you
fluffy jade blurb!!! (it's been too long since ive written something for my eel)
a soft knock on the door breaks the silence, and your open the door to meet his gentle gaze
"are you ready?"
you can't help but respond with a twirl, the fabric of your outfit swirling around you. he had specifically requested you dress fancy tonight.
"how do I look?"
his heart swells with overwhelming love. as he drinks in the sight of you, he finds himself lost in a whirlwind of memories and emotions. he remembers the first time he laid eyes on you, the way your smile illuminated the room and the warmth of your laughter filled his heart with joy.
jade steps closer, his touch light as he adjusts a stray strand of hair with tender care.
"perfect," he breaths, his voice a warm caress against your skin.
his eyes briefly dart to the window, the evening breeze whispers through the curtains. a subtle concern flickers in his gaze as he worries that your delicate attire might leave you chilled in the evening air.
his thoughts are interrupted as you lean in closer, excitement bubbling over. "jade, jade, look at these!" you exclaimed, revealing the delicate mushroom-shaped dangling from your ears that you spent the previous night making.
oh, he loves you. so so much.
the ring in his pocket feels much heavier now.
later...
"oh, jade," you ponder, noticing his choice of attire. "won't you be too warm in that jacket?"
a fond smile graces his lips as he drapes the jacket over his shoulders. "no worries, dear," he assures you, his voice warm with affection. "i feel quite chilly today."

In the heart of the enchanting forest, where sunlight filtered through the leaves like gold and the gentle rustle of leaves created a soothing melody, you meticulously orchestrated your plan as your heart raced with a blend of anticipation and nervousness. Every detail was carefully thought out, every petal placed with the utmost care, leading to a hidden cave that held the promise of magic and wonder.
Standing at the entrance of the cave, your pulse raced like a wild stallion as you envisioned the impending moment. The culmination of weeks of meticulous planning now hinged on the next hour, and your hopes and dreams seemed to hang in the balance.
Your heart skipped a beat as Jade's figure emerged from the mountain trail, and an involuntary smile painted your lips as you waved him over. His presence alone was enough to calm the storm of nerves swirling within you. Jade's eyes softened as he caught sight of you, hastening his steps to close the distance between you.
"Ah, there you are, my pearl," he greeted, his voice a tender caress as he drew you into his embrace, planting a kiss on your forehead. "It feels like an eternity since I last saw you."
A giggle bubbled from your lips at his endearing exaggeration. "Jade, it's only been a couple of hours!" you chided playfully.
Jade chuckled, his warm laughter resonating like a soothing melody in the forest around you. "Time has a funny way of bending when I'm away from you," he mused, his fingers gently brushing a strand of hair behind your ear.
"Oh, you," you shook your head fondly. "Now, let me show you something amazing! " you said as you intertwined your fingers with his, a natural fit that felt as though you were two puzzle pieces meant to be together. "Follow me, okay?"
"If my dearest love wishes it, then I shall follow wherever you take me," Jade responded with a teasing twinkle in his eye, placing a hand over his heart in his customary polite manner.
You let out a playful sigh, a mixture of exasperation and endearment as you tugged him gently towards the cave, though you could hear him chuckle quietly at what you assumed to be the sight of your reddened ears.
As you ventured deeper into the cave, the soft luminescence of the mushrooms cast a gentle radiance along your path, painting the surroundings with an otherworldly glow. At last, you arrived at the carefully arranged picnic, where his favourite dishes were lovingly presented, the aroma mingling with the earthy scent of the cavern.
You watched his eyes widen in awe as they settled on the sight before him. The luminous mushrooms that adorned the cave's walls cast an ethereal radiance, their enchanting glow reflecting in his gaze like stars twinkling in a night sky. A mixture of excitement and doubt churned within you as you waited for his reaction.
"Surprise," you managed to say, your voice laced with a blend of hope and apprehension. "I wanted to make something special for us."
Jade's gaze shifted between the radiant mushrooms and you. The genuine wonder that crossed his features made your heart swell with a mixture of relief and pure affection. "This... This is incredible," he marvelled, and you found your lips curling into a smile, mirroring his unabashed appreciation. "You've truly outdone yourself, my dear," Jade said.
Your laughter was soft and genuine, an unburdening of the tension that had been coiling within you. "I'm so glad you like it," you admitted.
With the air buzzing around you, a mixture of enchantment and joy, the two of you settled down on the cosy spot you had prepared. You handed Jade a mushroom and egg sandwich and watched as his expression transform into bliss, his enjoyment evident in the way his eyes closed briefly, savouring the interplay between the earthiness of the mushrooms and the richness of the egg.
"I've never felt such happiness," he murmured, after finishing the sandwich. His eyes met yours with an intensity that sent a shiver down your spine.
This is it.
Your confession, the words that you've rehearsed countless times, teetered on the edge of your tongue, ready to spill forth.
But before you could muster your courage, he gracefully drew you up to your feet, his movements imbued with a sense of purpose. With a deliberate shift, he gracefully lowered himself onto one knee, a gesture that carried a weight of significance that slowed time itself.
In a moment suspended between heartbeats, he produced a velvet box, opening it to reveal a ring that seemed to capture the essence of elegance and enchantment—a pearl centrepiece surrounded by diamonds. His words tumbled out with a raw authenticity that left you breathless. "You've brought magic into my life, made every day brighter, and every challenge surmountable. I don't want to wait another second to make you mine in every sense. Would you do me the honour of taking my hand in marriage?"
Caught in the unfiltered authenticity of his words, your breath caught in your throat. Surprise intertwined with an overwhelming wave of emotion, leaving you momentarily speechless. Your cheeks warmed, and your mind was a whirlwind of thoughts and sensations.
"You're so sly..." You finally managed to say. His expression faltered ever so slightly, a rare glimpse of vulnerability evident in the poised and polished Jade Leech.
"I was planning to propose to you!" You exclaimed. With deft yet slightly shaky fingers, you retrieve the ring you had poured your heart into choosing. Opening the box, you unveil a silver mushroom ring, customized for the sole owner of your heart.
His eyes blinked a few times as if attempting to process the rush of emotions that had suddenly engulfed him. In an unrestrained explosion of joy, laughter erupted from him, the sound a harmonious melody that reverberated through the space, brushing away any lingering tension.
A grin adorned his lips, one that held the pure essence of his happiness. "You never cease to amaze me, my pearl. I suppose great minds do think alike," he managed between fits of laughter, his voice a reflection of his genuine amusement. "May I?" he asked as he extended his hand.
You nodded in eager agreement, an exuberant affirmation of his question. His smile deepened, a tender expression that spoke of his affection for you. As his fingers connected with yours, and with a touch both tender and deliberate, he guided the pearl ring toward your ring finger. The ring nestled comfortably, as if it had always belonged there. In that instant, his eyes met yours, and you saw a reflection of the unspoken promises that resided in both your hearts.
"Give me your hand too," you softly requested, a touch of anticipation in your voice, and he responded without hesitation. With the delicate grace of a sculptor crafting a masterpiece, you slid the silver ring onto his ring finger. Your heart raced as you watched it settle into place, a symbol of commitment that sent ripples of elation through your being.
He clasped your hand in return, his gaze flickering between the two ringed fingers, a small smile playing at the corners of his lips. "What an intriguing pair we make," he reflected, his words laced with a touch of wonder and amusement.
His hand cradled yours against his cheek, a gesture that felt like a silent proclamation of his affection. The world around you seemed to fade as you looked into his eyes, the intimacy of the moment enveloping you both. His lips pressed a gentle kiss against the ring on your finger, a kiss that carried a promise and a commitment that went beyond words.
"But I wouldn't have it any other way," he whispered, his voice a warm breeze that brushed against your senses. "I love you, dearly so," he breathed, his fingers weaving through the strands of your hair, finding their way to cradle the nape of your neck, and he met your lips with a tender smile.
