“y’know, rocket, i’m glad we met.”
the red-horned demon leaned against rocket, taking in the scenery and the moment.
reaching over, he pressed play on a song both he and rocket enjoyed.
(“하루의 끝 침대 위로 쓰러져
잠들기는 좀 아쉬워”)
the two of them sat on a hill, a blanket laid below them. fireflies whizzed around as the sun was almost completely below the horizon, the lack of light adding a cool touch to the air.
it was… peaceful to say the least.
“i’m glad i met you too, sword. you’re the best thing to ever happen to me.” rocket leaned into sword as well, looking over the view of crossroads.
(“감았던 눈을 살포시 다시 뜸 시작돼
my teenage dream.”)
while simply absorbing the moment the two were presented with, rocket had remembered something that sword mentioned earlier in the day.
—————
ring…
ring…
ring…
click!
“oh, hey sword! what’s up?” rocket cheered through the phone. sword called at a good time, as rocket was sitting in the lobby of a phight waiting for the next round to begin.
“nothing much, you?” the swordsman said. for some reason, he felt much more nervous than usual.
continuing on, rocket carried on the conversation.
“i’m currently waiting for the next phight round to start, so you called at a great time!” he eagerly said while walking away from the main area to have a bit of privacy.
medkit sat beside sword, giving some silent support for him to continue with a soft smile.
with a newfound confidence, sword continued.
“weeellllll… at around… say, 6:30, would you… err, wanna go out? we can go to that hill we always go to! oh, and dress nice! i.. have something i wanna give you.” oddly enough, it wasn’t as hard as he thought it would’ve been to ask.
waiting for a response while rocket thought about if he had to help his father at the shop, he fidgeted with the small box in his hands. he could *not* believe he was doing this.
after a moment of thinking, the blue phighter responded.
“sure! i only have to help dad out until, like, 5 i think. i’ll meet you there!” rocket said, almost beaming with happiness. he was a bit confused by the ‘dress nice’ part, but didn’t want to ask any questions.
“great! see you then, love.”
“see you then!”

“say, what was that gift you were talking about earlier?” rocket asked, curious. sword tensed up at the question, but calmed down soon afterwards.
(“어느새 내 몸이 새가 된 듯 (fly away)
날개도 없이 떠올라”)
“what’s wrong? you alright?” he worriedly asked before looking up into sword’s eyes.
“y-yeah, i.. uhh, want to ask you something.” his heart raced. everything in him was in overdrive trying not to freak out. he continued with his action, looking off into a distant bush before smiling yet again.
(“점 보다 작아진 집 it's like a dot
바람의 소린 my favorite song (song)”)
a million thoughts raced inside the swordsman.
what if he said no?
what if he laughed?
is it too early?
am i even doing this right?
did i get his ring size right?
will he even like the ring?
is it even worth it?
nevermind that, it was now or never.
(“달빛도 잠든 사이
시작된 나의 story”)
slapping a confident smile onto a not-so-confident mind, he continued.
“you know i’ve loved you for years. you’re my best friend, my ride or die, the man i’ve loved for… years. years before you ever even knew, before we were even a couple.”
(“끝없이 펼쳐지는
midnight fiction”)
a deep breath was heard, before he stood up. a slight reddish tone slowly began appearing while he grabbed a small box out of his pocket.
(“설렘이 가득하지
자그만 내 침대 위”)
rocket’s face went from confused to surprised, tinting a light blue colour when he realized.
sword was shaking, breaking into a nervous sweat.
(“엉뚱하지만 어때
midnight fiction”)
“i love you, i love you so much. you’re my everything…—“
this was it.
he had to do it one way or another.
“rocket,—“ he got down onto one knee, allowing himself to continue.
(“ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
like a fantasy (fantasy)—
“— will you.. marry me?”
it took a second to process, before the waterworks began and rocket basically tackled sword.
—ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
like a fantasy (fantasy)”)
“yes yes yes yes yes! a million times yes!” rocket happily sobbed into sword. sword almost dropped the ring, but caught it just before it fell and slid it onto rocket’s finger.
(“미스터리 아포칼립스
로맨틱 코미디”)
a quick kiss was shared between the two before they heard rustling behind them.
“huh—? who’s there?” rocket said, confused and slightly worried, beginning to stand up.
sword followed along, already knowing who was there.
“congrats, you two.” the medic began, rocket noticing a camera in his hand.
(“전환되는 장르
until the morning (yeah)”)
“medkit? did you… record this?“ the blue one began, still sniffling and mostly confused, but not really caring.
sword scratched the back of his head, looking somewhat embarrassed.
“i… uh, needed a bit of support. thanks again, meds. i really appreciated your willingness to come out here.” sword began, feeling a bit awkward.
(“우리집 강아지를 닮은 구름과 산책
그 다음은 우주로 잠수”)
“no need to thank me, sword. i know how much this meant to you.” medkit softly smiled at sword, then turned to rocket.
“you have no idea how much this guy freaked out after that call earlier.” the older demon joked. embarrassed, the red one jokingly punched the teal demon.
“n-no—!” he tried to deny, but the red only deepened on his face, which confirmed medkit’s statement. rocket laughed along with medkit’s soft chuckles.
“sword, honey, i’ve quite literally been dreaming about this moment, and the fact that it’s come true is much more than i could ever ask for.” rocket said to sword as he began to lean into him.
(deeper and deeper, yeah
소원을 빌어 원해 my genie (fly away)”)
medkit smiled again, before checking his flip phone.
“well, again, congrats to you both, but i unfortunately have some business to attend to. i’ll see you guys next phight?” the unlicensed doctor left after allowing the others to say their own goodbyes.
(“내 맘대로 쓰는 scenario
작가도 주인공도 딱 only one
모든 게 나만의 teenage dream”)
“it’s getting late, anyways. we should probably head back home. lost temple is… quite far from here, anyways.” sword said, a slight disappointment in his voice.
it’s like he didn’t want to go, but he knew that the both of them needed to wake up early for their pre-phight warmups.
“ah, i… guess you’re right.” rocket said, sadly.
“but hey! we’ll see each other tommorrow morning, remember?” sword said, trying to cheer his now fiancé up.
rocket chuckled, he seemed at least somewhat happier about that fact.

after rocket got home, he screamed into his pillow.
and when sword got home, he crashed the hell out.
