 So. I made it back.

This place really still exists, huh?

*Faye has appeared on a familiar island, but there's no real sense of how much time has passed. She caught glimpses of her home world, but she could have been gone from this world for months. Time seems to work so differently*

Thash, tell me you're still here. I'm coming to find you.

*Despite doing her best to sound cool and collected, her voice quavers slightly with that last statement*

[he looked down at her hand when it opened, and his heart skipped a beat when he saw what was in it. After she spoke though, his heart broke into a full blown race]

[feeling shaky but excited, he took the ring and got down on one knee. He looked up at her adoringly, taking her hand in one of his and kissing it softly before he slid the ring onto her finger]

Faye, I.... [his voice was a little unsteady due to his sudden excitement, but every word sounded genuine] I love you with all my heart. I couldn't imagine living without you. Will you... Please marry me?

[despite how weak he was feeling, he managed to look into her eyes with a steady intensity]

[myfayevalentine]

*Faye wanted this. She knew it the moment Thash returned after he'd died. But she knew it even more so when she considered the hell, the impossibility of being separated from him, of having a life without him.

But she hadn't expected to be so choked full of emotion, the way he spoke to her, looked at her, touched her. And down on one knee. She stared at him a moment, tears suddenly springing to her eyes when he asked the question. She had told him to ask it, but it still surprised her took her breath away*

Yes. Yes!

*Faye gasped out the words then dropped herself to her knees so that she could throw her arms around him, almost tackling him to the sand*

[crankyshark]

[he hugged her tightly, giving a tearful laugh as a big smile covered his face. He felt so joyful it was almost too much to express. It felt like he couldn't hug her tightly enough or hold her close enough or smile big enough. Finally he just kissed her, and it was quite possibly the most passionate and affectionate kiss he'd given her yet; overflowing with his emotions towards her]

[myfayevalentine]

*As she returned the kiss, Faye didn't mind pushing Thash over so that she was lying on top of him in the sand. She was pressing herself to him as closely as possible, holding his shoulder and the back of his head. She needed to convey how happy she was, how much she loved him, and how pleased she was about this. Faye didn't stop kissing him, only slowing when she was running out of breath*

[crankyshark]

[Thash was happy to lie back in the sand and hold her close on top of him, almost feeling like if he could melt into her he would. Feeling her there and knowing she was his made him so happy he could cry, but instead he just kept kissing her vigorously, also only slowing to breathe between kisses when it was necessary. He also managed a few words]

I love you Faye...I love you so much....

[myfayevalentine]

*It was all so surreal, and Faye had to spend a long time just looking at him to remind herself that it was real. Not just a daydream. She smirked at Thash's comment, and replied in between kisses of her own, some on his neck, but mostly lingering on his mouth*

I love you too... That's why...I'm now...your future bride.

*She couldn't help but giggle as soon as she said it, squeezing Thash tight in the excitement of saying such a thing*

[crankyshark]

[while she was staring at him, he was staring right back. There were a lot of emotions in his eyes...intense love, a relief and contentment with this turn of events, excitement... But mostly just raw joy. She had clearly made him very happy. He also enjoyed the feeling of being practically connected at the mouth with how long they kissed.]

[when she called herself his future wife he couldn't help squeeze her back and laugh a bit too, feeling almost giddy from his heart fluttering]

[myfayevalentine]

*They stayed that way some time, laughing and hugging and kissing. Faye stroked Thash's hair, her other hand stroking lightly at his arm and his chest. Glancing aside from him the moment, Faye realised that they'd been enjoying themselves long enough that the sun had fully set now, the night around them*

Maybe we should head back soon...

[crankyshark]

[he smiled up at her and gave a nod. He still looked extremely happy and content]

Sure, sweety... Whenever you're ready
