RL with Battler

[ She'd decorated the parlor with goofy Christmas decorations, a Christmas tree, and had spent all morning delivering presents and people to various places with free worldhops. Christmas wasn't normally such a big deal to her, but having a lot of time on her hands meant she could spend extra time doing all sorts of things.

As for right now, though, that time was past. It was evening, and now.. Now was that dinner she'd promised Battler. She'd only returned a short while ago. Yuri wasn't a great cook, despite her many other talents, so it was mostly just well-arranged restaurant food. By well arranged, of course, that was something she'd almost given up on because the stupid romantic atmosphere was almost too much. A red candle with holly at the bottom in the center of the table, their food put on plates instead of in the takeout boxes she'd brought the food back in. She'd changed clothes from the goofy Santa outfit she'd been wearing to something a little bit nicer. It was still weird not being in her uniform, but it wasn't something that she needed to do anymore. She'd already "graduated," technically.

Yuri shifted slightly, fiddling with a small box in her hand, wrapped up like a small present. After a second, she tucked the box underneath the chair she'd set out for herself, across from the one she'd set out for Battler, then left the room to, quite rudely, yell down the hall. ]

Battler, get over here!

[Too bad, neither of them are old enough for alcohol, but Battler would never turn down drinking with her either way.]

Hmm...

[He's moving to pull out a seat for her.]

For you, m'lady~

[ Yuri hurries over to the seat, nudging the box to keep it underneath it. stop being a gentleman, you moron, you're going to find that and she's not going to be able to tell herself that there's definitely the possibility of chickening out on saying something so corny. ]

Alright, alright. Don't get all cliche on me.

[So sorry, but he doesn't notice it right now! After she takes her seat he moves to push it back and goes to his own.]

Sorry~! It's just how I am, you know I'm a hopeless romantic and all.

[ Thank God. She breathes a soft sigh of relief at that. ]

I know you're hopeless anyway. [ Yuri says it teasingly as she folds her hands on the table, waiting for him to sit down as well, then holds up her glass of cider. ]

Make a toast, you're better at saying corny stuff than I am.

[A toast huh? That's fine by him. He moves to grab his glass.]

Mmm... I don't really know what else to say but... ah, to us! But especially to you Yuri, through all the teasing and fighting I love spending time with you more than anything, and of course I love you so much, thanks for being there for me when I've needed it most. And a Merry Christmas!

[he moves to clank his glass against hers.]

And a toast to Battler's toasting talents. [ Yuri clanks hers right back against his with a smile, then goes to take a sip. No, she's not going to warn him it's not actual champagne... ]

[he goes to take a sip too and... wow he nearly chokes, he was expecting something else.]

Ah... cider? I shoulda known with you.

What was I supposed to get? I don't have an ID.

[ She puts her glass back down, then goes to eat. ]

[He's doing the same.]

Could have stole it, I know you have amazing abilities like that.

With a team, maybe. How am I supposed to fit a bottle of champagne out of a store with no one acting as a distraction?

[ Om nom nom ]

Stuff it down your shirt.

[eatings and stuff.]

My breasts are not big enough to hide a bottle of champagne in them as I'm sure you've noticed.

[ Oh yeah eat it all bitch ]

They're big enough for a lot of things~

[wow no.]

I'm going to go get reduction surgery for New Years.

[ does she really want to spend the rest of her afterlife with this man.. ]

No, don't you dare! I like them the way they are!

[DON'T TAKE THEM AWAY FROM HIM ;;]

I don't have the money to afford that anyway, don't worry. [ Not that she would. She likes her breasts the way they are too... ]

Good, I'm not letting you have access to any of the gold here either to do that stuff anyways. [ah, it would be such a crime if she did that to him...]

I don't want your money, you pervert. [ She just wants him. ]

I know I know... [he smiles.] Ah, I know we talked about not getting each other something but..

[he snaps his fingers, and a present appears in his hand. He moves to give it to her. It's nothing too special, he got her another headband is all. Same type though, just a different kind of ribbon and color.]

[ Yuri blinks at that, then goes to open it slowly. Once she's opened it, she smiles and takes her own off, putting that one on. ]

Do I look weird in different colors?

No way, I think you look really good.

[he thinks she looks good in anything though.]

...Good. I'll wear it when I give you your present then.

[ Ahaha.. She doesn't move to get it though. Not yet. In fact she's staying quiet for a second. Got to organize her thoughts since if she gives it to him without saying anything, it's going to be stupidly confusing. ]

[...he blinks, waiting for it.]

My present?

[ She nods. After another second, she gets it out from underneath her chair, then looks at him for a moment, her cheeks a little bit pink. Yuri doesn't hand it to him yet, looking down at it. ]

Shut up and don't interrupt me, okay?

[ And with that, she's going to start talking, turning her eyes back to Battler. ]

I'm not going to marry you. That's not something I can do, no matter how many people try to tell me that I should or that I want to or all kinds of things. There are a lot of reasons for that and I'm not going to go over them all because I think you already understand why. That's why...

[ She pauses, then holds the gift out to Battler. ]

That's why I got you this. Because.. I do love you. If I could or thought it was a good idea, I'd probably be proposing to you right now and you'd be complaining about how you didn't get to do it and all sorts of weird gentlemanly crap that I'd end up laughing about because I think it's cute when you get flustered but--

[ Rambling. Okay, stop. ]

I want you to know that I want to be with you every minute until I can't be here anymore. So I promise, as long as I'm around, I'm going to be by your side. What's in that box is a promise, okay? From me. If you want to accept it, I've got one just like it so... [ She's just going to trail off right now. It's obvious that she's a little nervous, but she knows it's the right thing to do and what she wants to do. That much is obvious by her not having broken eye contact with him the whole time. ]

[...What?

This was all... coming out of no where. Well, not really, she was just stating things they had talked about before to one another, stuff that they knew already, but the fact that she was talking about marriage, or maybe the lack of, was something that got him listening to her seriously.

He would marry her in a heartbeat if he thought it was okay, it's why he had made that deal with Bern, that miracle that he had asked for as long as he stayed out of the 7th game. Still though... this was all just...

Battler went for the present, going to open it and grab the ring inside, looking at it. He nods to himself.]

...Yeah, sounds good to me. I promise that too you know, we're not married but we're promising to stay right by each other, I like the sound of that.
