Truly, madly, deeply

Maverick let her lead against him as she reminisced about one of the great tragedies in her life, having her father taken from her so early. At least when Hattori left their children were very nearly adults. She hadn’t even seen her first birthday when the volcano erupted. The thoughts weren’t meant to take from the evening she was spending with her beloved, but he had asked and she would tell him. He gave a soft condolence but she shook her head. "It was a long time ago.” And yet it had rippled through her entire life. Mav lifted his paw to her shoulder, navigating through her quills as her offered his support. The corners of her lips pulled back into a timid smile as sunset eyes met his teal gaze.

He spoke cryptically as he reluctantly pulled away from her side so that he could settle again before her. He took her paw as he captured her gaze and he spoke seriously. He had her full attention as he explained exactly what his intentions were in bringing her here. He loved her, just as she loved him. She welcomed him into her life because he wanted to prove himself, and he had. Venom trusted Maverick with her life and her heart. He was her scruffy wild ruffian.

Her eyes widened in surprise as he took her white gloved paw once more to reveal the tiny but glittering jewelry he had for her. Speechless, Venom looked up from the eye catching gems to Mav’s sweet gaze. She knew what was coming, and all sad thoughts from before were forgotten as a promise for the future was made to her right there. Marry him, and take the last step to truly bind their souls.

"All I want is to share my future with you.” She started in a whisper, still surprised at the sudden turn of events. "Today and always. I love you more than anyone who has come before, and I’m thankful for you and the light you’ve brought into my life.” Venom confessed softly, each word finding herself leaning in closer towards her unlikely love. She had already given him her heart, now she would give it to him always. "“Yes, Maverick Rhydderech, I will marry you.” She said with all the confidence of an Empress. This was the man she wanted at her side, to raise her children with. One who would keep his vow and she to him. Venom closed the distance then, wanting so badly to kiss him and show just how much love she had for him
