Holly walked up to the edge of the pier, holding a beautiful customized bouquet of pretty flowers. She held them gently in the crook of her arm. ”Ist thou thereth?” Holly called out from the pier, staring deeply into the water as she waited for any type of response. After a few minutes it seemed like she got no response.
After a few more minutes of waiting patiently Holly started to turn around, sighing as she did so. Suddenly, a few bubbles came up to the surface, popping rapidly as Mary emerged from the water. The diver jumped out of the water, landing on the pier behind Holly, making her jump a bit.
“Thou scareth me.. I shall be okayeth though.” Holly turned around to face Mary, tilting her head slightly up to meet eye contact with her. Her grasp on the bouquet tightened as she took in a breath. “I haveth to ask thou a question..” Holly closed her eyes, tilting her head away as Mary’s ‘eyebrow’ rose a bit.
The diver stared down at Holly, expecting a cruel joke to be played upon her. Though… The diver remained quiet, staring down at Holly with curiosity of what was about to arise. She watched as the knight began to confess.
“Mary… I musteth confess to thou mine love for thee. Truly I do feeleth some thingeth for thou. Ist hard for me to telleth mine feelings to thee.. So I musteth hope thou will accept my gifteth…” Holly held out the bouquet for Mary to take, her eyes and head tilted to the floor as she moved down onto one knee, as if she was proposing.
Mary stared down at Holly, silently for a moment. She reached out and gently took the flowers, admiring their beauty as she gently touched the flowers petals. “I’m not so ‘shore’ you’re being serious about this. Are you pulling on my oxygen tube?” Mary stared down at Holly, her grasp on the bouquet getting slightly tighter as she questioned the knight. “This ‘eels’ too good to be true.”
Holly was slightly stunned, moving up back onto her feet as she stared up at Mary. “Nay… Mine love for thee ist real.. I love thou more than I love thyself..” Holly walked closer, armor clanking against itself. She stared up at Mary intensely. “I willst do anything to proveth that to thee..”
Mary stared at Holly, her eyes looking down at the bouquet and back up at Holly. “I’m still not ‘shore’ about this.” Mary stared to back up, considering diving back into the ocean. Holly quickly moved forward and firmly grabbed her arm with both of her hands. “WAIT! I beg of thou..” Holly moved down onto her knee again. “Please, I meaneth this. I shan’t ever pranketh thee… Truly I love thou. I apologizeth if this isnt enough. But I love thee..”
A moment of silence was between the two. The tension felt suffocating as Holly waited for any sort of response from Mary. Mary took in a deep breath, holding it in for a few moments before blowing out and moving back towards Holly. “Do you really mean this?” Mary stared at Holly as if she was trying to predict every little thing Holly could do or say. “Yes. I meaneth this. I meaneth this more than thee can imagineth.” Mary stared down at Holly for a few more moments after Holly spoke, before starting to relax. Her grasp on the bouquet released as the tension began to die down.
Mary gently grabbed Hollys arm and pulled her so Holly was standing up once more. “Holly… I think I ‘eel’ the same. I love you too Holly..” Mary moved her face closer to Hollys, nuzzling their helmets together as if this was their way of kissing. Holly let out a soft hum. “I’m gald thou feels the sameth.” Holly nuzzled into Mary’s helmet, before looking up and moving the point of her helmet into Mary’s, as she moved her arms to warp around Mary’s waist and pulling her in closer.
“I love thou..”
“… I love you too.”
