[karappo]

I love you too. My Amphitrite.

[He says this in a hushed tone, lifting a hand to thread his fingers through the back of his hair, careful to move them under the crown so he doesn't knock it off.]

I hope that we can be together from now on.

[matteimasu]

[ He hugs tighter ] Of course we will be. [ He lingers in the moment for a little longer, then pushes himself away just a bit ] Now... would you mind uh... helping me a bit more? [ His eyes go towards his new clothes ]

[karappo]

Oh- yes, of course!

[Though he’d gladly just stay here and hold onto Amphitrite forever...they can save that for their honeymoon.

He gently pulls away enough so he can pick up the long toga, gently bunching it up until the goddess can slip it easily over the top of his head. He holds it out for him this way, watching to make sure the rest of it’s length doesn’t get tangled up on itself once he puts it on.]

[matteimasu]

[ He moves quickly, swimming into the toga from the bottom, making sure he doesn't do something dumb like get his arms tangled. But everything works out and his arms and head are all where they're suppose to be. With the toga now on he backs up a bit, taking the fabric in his hands and turning and twirling, watching it flow and sparkle in the water ] W-Well? How does it look?

[karappo]

[Seeing Amphitrite so...happy fills Poseidon with a joy that he honestly can’t properly express. In fact, seeing him in his new clothing, wearing the colors of his children...it actually makes him quite emotional.

He laughs softly as he twirls in the water, discreetly brushing his bangs aside while also wiping at his eyes.]

It looks better than I ever imagined.

[He picks up the necklace, slipping it over his head.

...and for a second, he is struck. Because he looks like...

...Choromatsu. His son who he never...returned...





Poseidon shakes his head, his fins drooping ever so little. He will have to fix that. Later.]

But this is not all I have for you, Love.

[matteimasu]

[ That reaction gives Amphitrite pause... but he doesn't get a chance to ask what's wrong before Poseidon is already moving on ] It isn't...?

[karappo]

[He shakes his head no, taking him by the hands and gently leading him over to sit on the edge of their bed.]

Ever since I completed your quest...that truly meant we would be destined to be wed, non?

[matteimasu]

[ He lets himself be led to the edge and takes a seat ] Yes... yes it does. And we sealed it ourselves when you asked me too marry you...

[karappo]

We did...but I am afraid I did not do it properly.

Would you...allow me to try again?

[matteimasu]

Oh? Why... yes, by all means. [ He's a little taken aback though... what you doing boo... ]

[karappo]

[Poseidon never thought he would find himself clinging to human marriage customs so much, but...having heard about it from Choromatsu, he'd been touched by the gesture. Some things humans got right, after all.

He gestures for Amphitrite to wait where he is for a moment as he swims off into the deeper parts of the cavern, returning with a white speckles conch shell lined with soft seaweed. He takes it carefully in both hands, cradling it to his chest as he swims back over and then...bends down in front of Amphitrite, almost bowing in front of him with his tail curled to keep him a step beneath the edge of the bed.

He holds up the shell for Amphitrite to see, and carefully nestled inside the seaweed is a sparkling gold ring with a deep emerald jewel in the center.]

Amphitrite, formerly Megami- Goddess of the Lake- now Goddess of the River and Sea...will you marry me?

[matteimasu]

[ Amphitrite is a bit puzzled by what Poseidon's doing... but then he sees that ring in the shell and it all becomes clear.

His face turns red again, both of his hands covering his mouth as tears form in his eyes again. Finally he manages to shakily nod his head. ]

Y-Yes... a thousand times yes...!

[karappo]

[Poseidon knew what the answer would be, and yet it still fills him with a rush of relief.

He reaches out for Amphitrite's left hand, and once he has it he gently slips the ring onto his ring finger. Somehow, without ever being measured for it, it fits him perfectly. It glows briefly once it's put on before dulling back to normal.]

[matteimasu]

[ Amphitrite can barely see it through the tears in his eyes but even still the ring... is so beautiful... He can't really say or think much else right now... he's lunging forward in Poseidon's direction, wrapping his arms around him once more and kissing him. He's too overcome with emotion to even consider anything else right now. ]

[karappo]

[Poseidon catches Amphitrite when he curls around him, kissing him back with a smile that hurts his face with its intensity. He didn't think he would be, but now he's crying while they're kissing and just...it's a mess, but a good kind of mess. If any other gods approach Amphitrite now, that ring on his finger is more of a signifier of his taken status than anything, not that Poseidon believes he'd let anyone lay a hand on him now.

He is just...so happy. And he's happy that Amphitrite is happy. He deserves this.]

comes back from the dead to this..... like megami.....

[matteimasu]

[ The kiss is probably a lot deeper than any of their previous ones and Amphitrite, quite frankly, doesn't want it to end. He's so full of happiness he could burst, the only way for him to express it is with the tears down his face and this kiss.

But eventually he does part, though it isn't without regret. He rests their foreheads together, his tail and arms fully curled around Poseidon. ]

It... I-It's beautiful...

Eyes emoji

[karappo]

[Amphitrite’s face is a bit blurred from Poseidon’s perspective, but he can still feel how happy he is. He’s utterly radiant in a way the god can’t properly put into words. And that kiss...he’s actually quite impressed by it, and will probably be looking for that again in due time.

For now, he holds onto him and keeps them both close, the tip of his tail fin curling tight around the edge of Amphitrite’s much longer coils.]

I could not be happier. Truly...I want this to be special, for both of us. And...I suppose I want to make sure I do it right.

[He’s very devoted, you see. Something not often seen with gods, especially not the ones in his family. They aren’t exactly well known for their fidelity.]

[matteimasu]

[ He smiles and then kisses him once more, but just briefly this time. ] Thank you for that then, love. For all of this... [ forehead nuzzle ] I love it all...

[karappo]

Of course~

[He nuzzles him right back, his earrings jingling softly.]

All that is left now is our ceremony to make things properly official. Are you excited?

[matteimasu]

Yes... Yes I am. Very much so. After everything else I dare not even imagine what it might be like... you always exceed my expectations and surprise me.

[karappo]

Eheh, is that so?

[His hand moves up to the nape of Amphitrite's neck, playing with the short hairs there.]

I suppose I can tend to err on the side of extravagance. But when it comes to those I care about, I simply cannot help myself.

[matteimasu]

[ He smiles again, his tail tightening just a tad ]

You know, it is somewhat humorous. I always disliked the way other gods would try to lavish me with gifts and beautiful things. But when it is you, well... I think I am starting to appreciate being spoiled.

[karappo]

[Ah, that's right...other gods have acted similarly, haven't they? Except all of those gifts were really unwarranted. ...not that a lot of Poseidon's aren't as well, but he's made him practical things!

And a ring is practical in that it tells everyone he's taken, so.]

All the more reason for me to spoil you even more.

[He nuzzles him again as he says this.]

Especially now that we have so much time ahead of us. Plenty of time for gifts...and to get to know one another~

[matteimasu]

Mmhmm~ [ nuzzling back... noses this time. because they're insufferable omg ] Speaking of, you know... it is getting rather late, is it not?

[karappo]

[Man he could sit here and do this all day and all night if he isn't stopped.]

Ah...you are right. I put our sons to bed an hour or so ago, so...it is probably time for us to follow and do the same.
