You have?!

[That certainly gets her to bright up with a GASP, and she glomps him tightly.]

Oh Cheesy, that'd be FANTASTIC! I could see you all the time when you're not traveling! We can help you find a place to stay tomorrow, it can be a room-and-or-house hunting party!

[preformthisneigh]

[He laughs softly, returning the hug, breathing in the scent of her mane, Sweet and flour- the smell of a bakery. ]

Y-yeah, that's....well that's the plan.

[Don't bottle this, you can do the thing. ]

I- okay. I'm just gonna-

[Don't bottle this. ]

I was wondering- m-maybe if we had a different kind of party. Well...if you say yes, anyway.

[spontaneouscombustion]

A different kind of party? What kind of different? You can tell me.

[You okay, Cheese? She can tell you're a little nervous.]

[preformthisneigh]

[He laughs (nervously) before clearing his throat. Okay. Just say it. ]

So...um. Maybe an engagement party?

I....err yeah. Because that's what I'm doing. Right now. Asking if you want to be engage- UH I mean, if you want to marry me. Yeah. That.

[spontaneouscombustion]

An-- an enga-- [GAAAASP!] You're PROPOSING?! To ME?!

[Yup, mind's a teensy bit blown, but in a good way.]

[preformthisneigh]

Yep....that's it. That's the thing I'm doing. Proposing.

[Wow. So romantic. He takes another deep breath, to try and slavage this, make it a little bit more like he planned it in his head.]

I mean...um. Because I love you and...I well, look. I know I can't be here all the time. I know my Cheesy sense could drag me off somewhere else...but. Well. I like the idea of a home to come back to, and in all honesty that's you. You're my home.

...Hence the proposing.

[spontaneouscombustion]

Oh, Cheesy...!

[Yup, she might be crying a bit, but those are unmistakably happy tears.]

Of course I'll marry you! I'd LOVE to marry you!

[preformthisneigh]

[The tears worry him for a split second, until he realises they're the GOOD kind of tears. ]

Oh wow, you would?

[Yeah he did not think past this point at all. And nopony was surprised. ]

[spontaneouscombustion]

I would. Oh, Cheesy you have no idea how happy I am right now!

[Because honestly a bit afraid of asking herself; it wouldn't be right to try and tie him down when he loves traveling and missed out on it for SO long. So him proposing to her... it's one of the most meaningful gifts she's ever had.

So she's hugging him tight again, eyes still overflowing but beaming like crazy as she cups his cheek with a hoof and just looks at him.]

I love you so much!

[preformthisneigh]

I can guess, if it's anywhere near as happy as I am.

[She said yes!! She actually said yes!!!! He smiles happily, leaning int to nuzzle her softly. ]

I love you, too. More than anything in all the universes.

[spontaneouscombustion]

[Well it's kind of hard to say no to an amazing friend, colleague, and first love you've spent the last however long taking on a whole galaxy and a morally ambiguous production crew with.

She looks in his eyes for a second longer before leaning in to kiss him.]

[preformthisneigh]

[Truer words were never spoken.

He returns the kiss happily, heart and soul. He was telling the truth, when he told her that she was his home. She was always the one he'd return to, no matter what. ]

[spontaneouscombustion]

[And it feels wonderful, being his home. Having him go through so much and still trusting her as a confidante and an anchor, not trying to carry all those burdens alone, and sharing hers too.

It's a long time before she breaks the kiss, but she ends it by pulling him into a tight hug.]

My Cheesy...

[preformthisneigh]

[He laughs softly, returning that hug. ]

Yep. All yours. Swear on Camembert.

[spontaneouscombustion]

Mmmm and I'm all yours too. Swear of ALL the cheeses.

[preformthisneigh]

[That gets a happy chuckle from him. Amused. ]

That's a lot of cheeses.

[spontaneouscombustion]

Oho, don't I know it. Somepony really special taught me that. [Nuzzle nuzzle.] But this is a big promise too, gotta cover all the bases, right?

[preformthisneigh]

[His smile softens a little. ]

Oh yeah, better to make sure no stone is left unturned.

[spontaneouscombustion]

Ooh, you're right, gotta make sure to swear by all the stones too! After all, you're gonna be a piece of the Pie Family! [Wink! Ah, that's right, they should probably break the news to all the in-laws soon.]

[preformthisneigh]

Are those literal stones? Is there some rocky ritual I'm supposed to complete?

[He sounds weirdly excited about that prospect. ]

[spontaneouscombustion]

Hahaha, you know, there actually is! There's a Pairing Stone that told my folks they were going to get engaged! I mean we already know each other and know we wanna get married, but it couldn't hurt to make it SUPER official, right?

[preformthisneigh]

Oh wow for realises?!!!

[He didn't think there actually WAS one. ]

Heck yeah! We can totally do...uh whatever we're supposed to do with the stone.

[spontaneouscombustion]

Yeah, for super realsies! We should visit it when we go tell my family!

[Who even knows, nobody ever explains how the Pies do things in detail.]

[preformthisneigh]

[Bets to not ask these questions, when it comes to the Pie family. ]

Great! I'm really, really looking forward to it.

[spontaneouscombustion]

[Cheese can probably ask though, since he'll be joining it soon.]

So am I! [She hugs him again, still very excited but a bit of tenderness creeping into her voice too.] And to the wedding! And everything after it!
