Work Text:
After the Invisible Mafia was defeated by the heroes, Ashswagg the previous leader of the mafia. Has been living peacefully as an ordinary citizen, but not living alone in isolation, after all he has a beautiful, loving, carefree, kind, lovely, caring, generous, wonderful, perfect, beautiful- oh did he mention beautiful again? Well he has his girlfriend Squiddo by his side. And his unhinged friends... Living with them...
An average morning for them, loud, chaotic and always trying to start a fight. Ashswag sure was the more mature one out of the group, second was Reddoons, and Kyle was also less childish then... Zam... But if we put them in one room. They would be the most disorderly, in a mess, and lawless group in their big mansion of a house, until Squiddo.
Ashswag's beloved girlfriend moved in, now Ash was all lovey dovey with Squiddo. Well yeah he wouldn't show it to them, but whenever they are in a room together, or private situations. Love was clearly in the air, the two loved and adored eachother a lot even if they don't show it in public. It was still cute though, well would you still call it cute if they found out that the three single pringles would watch them from afar from time to time.
They weren't sad about the fact Ash was spending less time with them, in fact they were very happy for the couple. Asking them when they were going to get married, and all those stuff.
And sometimes the next time they are all together as a group, they would endlessly tease the couple about their lovey dovey stuff, but that was mostly Kyle and Zam. And today, the three, Redd, Zam, and Kyle noticed there was a difference between the two now, they were now avoiding eachother? Both of them were giving eachother silent treatment aswelll. It flabbergasted the three into oblivion on to what could possibly have happened between them, and what went done. Oh.. No.. Did Squiddo find out about Ash's previous Identity?
They all thought simultaneously. The three of them were currently in the living room, Kyle pacing around like a worried mother over the current situation between the two lovebirds, who were now probably at the brink of breaking up.
"What can we do to help?!" Kyle said voice laced with a worried and concerned tone over the two's relationship.
"Calm down K, we can figure this out, ya have any ideas Zam?" Redd asked PrinceZam who looked to have an idea, but the two other people in the room were bracing for impact on what he was going to say. "What if we planned a surprise date for them?" Zam said which was surprisingly a good idea that came from THE PrinceZam.
And that was the plan. Operation set up a date for Squiddo and Ash, make them make up. Well also kind of forgetting about the fact that Squiddo now probably knows what Ash's previous identity was, as the former invisible mafia leader. Well they'll get back on that topic later.
Squiddo was at her tailoring shop working, Ash went out somewhere stating he's meeting an 'old friend' of his. While the three left at home, were now organizing a plan. Kyle got himself a white cartolina and slammed it on the table. "Bro chill out! You're going to break the table!" Zam said in a loud tone to him.
"Ok, ok i'll take a chill pill, I didn't know my own strength" He responded to her back, with Redd who looked so already done with them. "Alright stop fighting, now let's get to planning" Redd said to the two. "WE AREN'T FIGHTING!" They both shouted synchronized, at Redd who just took the blow nonchalantly.
"Guys remember we are supposed to plan, lock in" the red haired man said to the two in a calm tone with slight irritation. The two would finally back down, and sit to begin planning. The three of them knowing that it should be perfect for the two, Squiddo and Ash.
Meanwhile with Squiddo, she wasn't actually at work, she took a day off and went to hang out with her two friends. Jumperwho and Branzy, they were like emotional support to her, and the best of friends! And she recently found out that Branzy is her boyfriend's adoptive dad. "I don't know man Ash seems to be acting differently in recent times!" Squiddo said, her voice showing her upset side.
"You should respect his boundaries for now after all I think he'll open up when the time is right" Jumper responded in a reassuring way, trying to comfort her clearly distressed friend. "For me I think you should communicate more, after all communication is key" Branzy suggested to Squiddo.
"Well i'll take that to heart but I need some more advice!" Squiddo said to both of her friends, now having a new determined look plastered on her face. She will have to know what Ash is planning, or maybe he is cheating and is planning to break up on her? That new thought in her mind, sparked a wave of sudden sadness in her, that newfound determination now evaporating to smoke.
Jumper noticed the sudden change. "Don't worry Squiddo! You have us on our side!" Jumper said to her friend. Branzy catched on to it, and also went to reassure her. "If I find out my son is cheating on his wonderful girlfriend I will personally have a 'talk' with him" He said next, to Jumper's statement.
The orange haired girl smiled at this, if her boyfriend was cheating or did something bad behind her back. She will definitely have to find out! She needed to! She wanted to know if all those words of adoration and admiration were true, those "I love you" wasn't just a lie. She wanted to know if he truly loved her.
With the QUAG, Kyle, Redd, and Zam were currently heading to the apartment of Zam's boyfriend, Pangi. While Kyle and Redd were skeptical about going to Pangi, because of course it was Zam's idea to go there. Telling them how his boyfriend was a master of planning dates, he will definitely help set up the surprise date with them.
When they finally had gotten there, it was a pretty high condo building, you can tell even by a glimpse that the living conditions were very comfortable. The condo was modest, with white paint and some bland colors mixed in it. Plants decorating it as the cherry on top, when they stepped inside it even had air conditioning which was refreshing.
The trio climbed up the stairs, and then finding out that the floor that Zam's boyfriend was on, was the eleventh fucking floor. "Bro! You could've told us while we were in the taxi! So that we could use the elevator instead!" Kyle complained. "Oh come on! Exercise a little would ya!" The blonde haired man responded to Kyle, who was already sweating. Currently they were still at the third floor.
Kyle glanced at Redd, with pleading eyes wanting the red haired male to agree with his statement only for him to say. "I agree with Zam" It made Kyle a bit shell shocked that Redd would agree with Zam. But it looks like he now needs to sacrifice his legs and his stamina going up to the eleventh floor. Kyle silently praying in his mind like it was going to save him from doing it, even though he could've been the one to go to the elevator instead, but he just tagged along.
__________________
Ash was with his other adoptive father clown. And with Wemmbu, for some reason. He was at his father's casino, it was carnival themed, with his father's face being on the top of the circus like structure. And coincidentally meeting Wemmbu, a distant relative of his and a recently turned vigilante. And also one of the people who stopped his reign of terror in the mafia, but they now have a mutual relationship. Wemmbu was also wearing simple clothing with a mask and hat to cover his identity.
They were all now in a private room, Ash planned this meeting with Clownpierce, but didn't expect for Wemmbu to also decide to join them in their soon conversation. The tension was quite dark, but neutral. "What did you want to ask me?" Clown said first, his tone neutral in a creepy way. Ash was silent for a bit, Wemmbu eyeing the previous mafia leader with curiosity.
"How did you propose to papa?" The tanned man finally said, the air noticeably changed, and the tension was lifted by a simple question. Wemmbu was definitely all ears now, Clown just looked at his son for awhile, afterwards responding to his question. "I proposed to him after I declared war with the heroes a decade ago" Clown said calmly, well Ash looks at him in disbelief. Yeah he used to be cruel and ruthless, but saying this so casually just makes him shock and his jaw slightly dropped.
Wemmbu was staring at Clown, with an equally shocked face, he was smiling(awkwardly) but his eyes said something else. "Don't believe me? Go ask your papa" Clown said, directed to Ash. "I do believe you, a lot, but why after declaring war with the heroes?" Ash said a bit concerned, but hey his father is a notorious villain so it makes sense.
"Look, it is not about the time, situation, or place you proposed in, if you are genuine enough and truly wanted it, that is all that matters" Clown said firmly. 'Wow father being good at love advice for once? That's a first' Ash thought in his mind, but the idea of it cleared a new light for him.
"I proposed to your papa... Because I didn't know if the war would be my last or not, it's better to do it sooner then later" Clown added, first time of him being genuine about giving advice. Ash nodded to this, absorbing the information, he felt a bit guilty because he was giving Squiddo the silent treatment for a bit now. But he will make it up to her, just what his father said, better sooner than later, never know what will happen in the future. While Wemmbu was just there staring at the father and son duo being forgotten.
The QUAG was now in the living room of Pangi, the pangolin served them snacks and drinks. Kyle would go munch on them in a unpleasant manner, while Redd was more dignified and way more respectful in eating the snacks. While Zam and Pangi were talking elsewhere.
The two came back, both sitting down on the comfy couch in the living room. "So I heard you want to plan a surprise date with your friend?" The pangolin asked, Kyle nodded to the statement. "Yes we are" The red haired male responded to Pangi. "Well you came to the right guy!" Pangi responded in a dramatic and enthusiastic tone.
He started bombarding them with questions, about the two's relationship, Their names, Their favorite foods, things, colors and anything related to that. "What's Squiddo's hobbies?!", "What's your friend's favorite show?!", "What's your friend's girlfriend's birthday?!" And more of those questions, while Zam was trying to keep Pangi from asking more questions, he just kept running his mouth like crazy, asking those questions, and writing their answers down on a paper that magically appeared. Not exactly knowing if the questions were necessary to making a plan.
After the questioning was done, the three were already pretty drained, the pangolin was writing something. He smiled brightly and then spoke. "Alright I have the perfect plan!" Pangi said signaling the three to listen to him.
"So you see, are you friends with any of this Squiddo girl's friends?" Pangi asked, which his boyfriend Zam answered. "Yeah I'm friend's with this girl named Jumper she is friend's with Squiddo" Zam said which Pangi nodded as a response to that. "Can you call her? Let's add her in to the plan" The pangolin said, Zam raised his right eyebrow, but complied to his boyfriend's request.
Squiddo was talking to her two friends, about the plan of how to catch her boyfriend cheating on her, it was unrealistic ideas but were modified by Jumper and Branzy to make it more possible. "A CALL! A CALL! A CALL!" It startled the trio, Jumper realizing that it was her ringtone, was embarrassed by it and excused herself to go outside to take the phone call.
Jumper checks to see that the caller was PrinceZam. 'Why is he calling right now?' She thought in her mind, answering the phone call. "Hello Jumper you there?" Zam asked, which the brown haired female replied to. "Yeah I'm here, why are you calling me so suddenly?" Jumper asked the Blonde man, which Zam briefed her about the plan, which got Jumper interested, even though awhile ago she was talking to Squiddo and giving her suggestions about how to catch your boyfriend cheating on you.
"So you want to plan a surprise date between Squiddo and her boyfriend?" Jumper repeated and asked to Zam, with interest in her voice. "Yup! My boyfriend will explain the plan!" The blonde male said. "Count me in" Jumper said, now in on the plan of getting Ash and Squiddo on a surprise date.
The plan was simple, Kyle, Zam, and Redd would go find Ash, take him on a bros hangout. Jumper would take Squiddo out on a shopping spree, and just do girls stuff, by going to her tailoring shop and try to convince her about going to the mall to have a shopping spree, only for the boys to be surprised when told that Squiddo took a day off. Well one thing done, makes the plan easier.
Next step of the plan, is to get both of them in fancy clothes or anything appropriate enough for a date. Next they would go eat in a expensive restaurant cause they were feeling hungry, and that is when both parties would meet eachother, guided by a server to their own respective table for the date. "Don't worry I have a friend named Jaron who works at a fancy restaurant I'll brief him about the situation and get that private reservation" Pangi said to them in reassuring manner. 'Wait why does the name Jaron sound familiar?' The three QUAG boys wondered, but brushed it off.
And so the Operation has began. Squiddo and Branzy were quite suspicious of how long Jumper was taking that phone call, Jumper finally got back with a suspicious smile plastered on her face. Which rang bells inside Squiddo's head knowing that there was something very wrong. And she knows that smile well to know that Jumper had something up her sleeves.
"Squiddo as a way to ease up your mind, want to go have a shopping spree?" Jumper asked, Squiddo still suspicious, and it seems that the white haired male also had catched on to the situation. But the orange haired girl agreed to go on a shopping spree with Jumper, where her smile grew wider.
Ashswag was currently looking for engagement rings that would suit his Squiddo's taste, he knew his girlfriend was stylish as a tailor, and also liked many cute things. He needs to pick the perfect one for his beloved girlfriend, he doesn't want her upset that she may not like the ring he gave her. So that's why he also needed help, dragging Wemmbu alongside with him, poor Wemmbu having to deal with him.
Earlier ago, after chatting back and forth with his father, and Wemmbu joining per sometimes. Ash went to find his distant relative, figuring that he needs to buy an engagement ring, and wanting help from Wemmbu. He spotted him getting his ass whooped in a card game for gambling. Having a frustrated expression laying on his face.
Ash couldn't care less as he grabbed the back of Wemmbu's shirt, and dragged him out of the casino building. "Bro what the hell?!" Wemmbu said loudly, trying to get out of Ash's firm grip. As he gets put in the back seat of a black car Ash owns. Before Wemmbu could protest, Ash spoke "We're going ring shopping" He said to Wemmbu, as he gave him a 'Are you kidding me' type stare.
Wemmbu would start whining like a kid staying stuff like "Ask your friends!", "Why me!", and more that was spewing out of his mouth. The car ride to the closestl mall nearby from their destination, it was filled with the purple haired guy named Wemmbu whining and complaining. Ash couldn't care less about it, and ignored him.
Now in the present, Ash was going to every single jewelry shop that he knows in the mall, with Wemmbu unfortunately having to tag along, not being able to snoop away from Ash which was a bummer in Wemmbu's perspective. Ash was dissatisfied with the results of not being able to find the perfect engagement ring, but he was determined, so he was planning to go to another mall, but decided to scout to see if he could find any more jewelry shops.
Wemmbu saw an interesting store from the corner of his eyes. "I think I found another jewelry shop for those rings" The purple haired male said to Ash, he pointed at the direction of the shop. The two would head their way there, finding out that the jewelry shop was for custom made ones. This was perfect for Ash, custom engagement rings, his girlfriend would like that.
"Good noon Sir. Do you make custom engagement rings here?" Ash said to the vendor of the shop. "Good noon, yes we make those here" The vendor responded to the tanned man, who began asking him questions, which Ash answered to. "So would you like describing to me about the rings appearance or do you want to sketch it out" The vendor asked, which Ash replied that he wanted to sketch the ring out.
He was given a blank paper and a pencil specifically for sketching purposes only. But Ash handed it to Wemmbu instead, which left the purple haired man confused upon the action. "I'm going to describe and you draw it out" Ash said to his distant relative which Wemmbu was instantly protesting against it. But Ash urged him, and Wemmbu had to unfortunately agree. Ash knew that Wemmbu can draw well, only when it comes to traditional art, but when it comes to digital, it would look atrocious.
Afterwards Ash was satisfied and pleased with the appearance of the ring in Wemmbu's sketch. It was simple, alluring and cute, it was the perfect combination, giving it to the Vendor, with Wemmbu glaring at Ash for making him draw his engagement ring. "How long will it take for the ring to be made?" The tanned man asked the Vendor. "5-7 days regular for 500 minecoins, 1-2 days for 2000 minecoins we als-" Before the Vendor could speak the rest, Ash casually handed 10,000 minecoins to the Vendor. "Make it in 2 hours" Ash said calmly, he was not a man for patience after all, the Vendor shut their mouth up and immediately went into work.
Ashswag would hear his ringtone ringing, meaning that he is currently receiving a call, Ash picked up his phone and answered, hearing on the other side Zam. "You bro! Wanna go to a bros hangout with us? We're here at the City Mall!" Zam said ecstatically through the call. "Oh I'm here at City Mall as well, what part you in?" Ash asked Zam which she replied that the gang was in the food court eating.
Jumper, Squiddo, and Branzy, the trio were currently doing a ton of shopping, Jumper had managed to convince the two to changing their cloths, now they were currently at a fitting room, Jumper and Branzy had already changed theirs and now Squiddo was the last out of the trio to change.
Jumper was wearing simple and comfortable attire, Branzy too, but in a more gothic style. Jumper also convince Squiddo in wearing a much more fancier outfit than theres. When Squiddo was done changing, she was absolutely drop dead gorgeous. The two swarming her with compliments.
"You look so pretty Squiddo!" , "It looks great on you" Those compliments keep coming, and coming. Squiddo was wearing a simple but cute white dress, new sandals she brought, and some new cool accessories to top it all off. The orange haired girl was wholeheartedly satisfied with how she looked. She was feeling happy and genuinely distracted from the negative thoughts of her boyfriend.
When they checked the time it had been 5 hours since they had been continuously shopping. And the time was now around 4:00 PM, Squiddo found her stomach growling indicating that she is now hungry. Jumper realized that Squiddo was hungry so she excused herself first. "Uhh before we go get food, I'll go to the bathroom real quick" Jumper said as she slipped away from the other two.
In truth she was actually going to call PrinceZam to tell him that Squiddo was hungry, dialing the blonde's number and calling him. "Yo hey Jumper! Is squiddo now hungry?" Zam asked which the brunette answered with a yes. Calling off and Jumper went to her friends with a smile on her face. "I know a good restaurant! It's outside the mall but it's near it, wanna try it out guys?" Jumper said and asked, the question directed to her two friends who both agreed to go there.
After Jumper called off, Zam told the others, Kyle and Redd and his boyfriend who tagged along with them. Ash was currently in the bathroom and would come out anytime soon. For the past 4 hours, they have been occupying Ash's time aswell as accompanying him. And also his distant relative, who was hiding his identity, but Zam wasn't the type to break a person's boundaries.
His relative went home 2 hours ago, but he did give Ash to tiny red velvet boxes earlier before going home. They tried to ask Ash about the boxes, but he just brushed them off, telling them it was 'nothing'. But they were suspicious but didn't push more. And speaking of the devil.
"Ash your back!" Kyle said loudly, "Were going to a restaurant outside the mall, were quite hungry right now" Redd said to Ash, in a tone of 'wanna tag along?" Kind of manner. "Why? We can eat here?" Ash said in a confused way, not getting why his friends would go outside to a Restaurant, when they are in a literal mall. "Oh we booked reservations there, including you" Pangi came in the clutch and responded to Ash's question. Ash contemplates for a bit and then agreeing to go with them to this restaurant.
Now it was the final stage of the Operation, the real thing! The surprise date! Both the parties came to the restaurant at different times, Jumper's came first. "Sorry ma'am but your friends booked a different reservation table for you" Rekrap said to Squiddo, who was obviously confused, Branzy as well, Jumper tapped Branzy's shoulder and whispered to him as Squiddo vet's guided by Rekrap to her table. "So Ash's friends asked my help for their plan, to make the two have a surprise date" Jumper whispered to Branzy who's eyes widen at the statement, now understanding Jumper's weird behavior.
Squiddo was being guided until she noticed a familiar face. "Wait Jaron?!" Squiddo said in surprise, as the male realized that his sister was the one to be at the surprise date. "Wait if your here... Then that Psycho will also come soon?" Jaron said, Jaron still didn't like Ashswag clearly showing his distaste in him whenever Jaron would visit Squiddo his sister.
Rekrap who has been ignored, just stood there watching the twins talk. "Rek i'll be the one to guide her to the table you can go" Jaron said to Rekrap before going, taking the rule of a guide, the two would be heading outside. Squiddo's eyes widen in admiration, the outside part of the restaurant was decorated from head to toe. There was candles and rose petals on the ground, serving as a path, and when they both arrived there. There was Squiddo's table, a big circular table with two comfortable chairs.
It was when it clicked. "Is this a surprise date?" Squiddo asked her twin brother, who only sighed before replying. "Yes, a date set up by what it seems to be your boyfriend's friends I suppose" Jaron honestly responded to his twin sister. "Oh wow... This is amazing! Tell them thank you from me if you can" Squiddo said with a wide smile of genuine joy was plastered on her face.
Next the QUAG boys came next to come inside the restaurant. They took a bit longer since they basically had to force Ash to wear a fancy outfit, but they made it in time, while they hope, they made it on time. Luckily seeing that Jumper and... Is that Ash's papa? With Jumper? They could not believe their eyes seeing the white haired man.
"Pa what are you doing here?" Ash questioned while walking to him. Then white haired male smiled softly, "We accompanied your girlfriend here, she is outside, I assume she is waiting for you" Branzy said followed by a knowing wink. That's when it all hit, Redd, Zam's, and Kyles attitudes being weirder then usual. Them trying to keep him distracted. He realized now that his friends had plan this all along. He didn't protest or get mad, he walked to the door leading outside the restaurant but still connected to it. There he saw the candle and rose petal path following it.
There he saw his beautiful girlfriend waiting for him, as she spotted him, she gave him a wave and also signaling him to come closer. Which he did, he came closer and sat the opposite direction from her, facing her. The air was romantic and awkward at the moment. None of them spoke first yet, they were waiting for the other to strike a conversation.
Rekrap soon came, lessening the awkward silence. "Good afternoon sir and madam, here is the menu, order what fits best with your taste" Rekrap said with a soft smile following. The two would receive their own menus. "Uhh... I'd like a lobster bisque for the appetizer, uhh... 1 Ceasar salad..." She nervously said, as she kept ordering. Ash was next to state his order, it was just short no trouble, as Rekrap went away after writing done their orders.
"Uhh I like your suit, hehe..." Squiddo said awkwardly, due to the fact this was definitely going to be their first real conversation after some time of giving each other the silent treatment it was normal for the couple to be so awkward with one another. Ash took a deep breath, and spoke to his girlfriend. "I'm sorry" He apologized to her.
But to Squiddo it was something else. "Oh I know, just admit that you want to break up with me" Squiddo said in a serious manner which led the previous mafia boss to be dumbfounded. 'What?' He said in his mind, where did his girlfriend even get the idea from. "What? What do you mean?" He asked his girlfriend still in a confused state.
"I know your cheating on me, just admit that you love someone else" Squiddo responded, deep down Squiddo is very hurt having to say this but if Ash is in love with another woman, she will let him go even if it upsets her a lot. Meanwhile Ash was having an internal crisis, hearing how sad Squiddo's tone was, and the bullshit she just said about him cheating on his Squiddo, left him dumbstruck.
Observing Squiddo's upset face, he wondered who could ever had messed up his girlfriend's mind. He loved her so much that it was immeasurable, definitely a trait he got from ClownPierce. "Just please lea-" "No" Squiddo was cut off from saying her full sentence, when she looked at Ash he saw that his expression was filled with genuine love.
"No... What made you think this?" Ash asked voice shaking, tone laced with concern. Squiddo was silent she couldn't understand, did she misunderstand? "I thought you were... Cheating on me because... You've been avoiding me.. And we're spending less time with each other..." Squiddo replied to him, she was honestly telling him how she felt.
The tanned man hearing his beloved's reply, he now understood on why she would think he was cheating on her. He felt immense guilt crept into his heart, he must've saddened his girlfriend a lot. And yes he was very guilty about it, but he promised to make it up to her, he went and held the back of her hand. Squiddo let him do the action, wondering what he will say.
"I will always choose you" Ash told Squiddo firmly, with undying devotion in his voice. Squiddo's eyes widen slightly, upon hearing Ash's statement. "Even if there was a whole different universe, world, life or dimension out there, I would want to choose you over and over again" The tanned man said as honest as he could, he was saying it like a promise that would last an eternity, a faith that would last forever over different lives and across universes.
The orange haired female was speechless, she really misunderstood the entire situation, but there was still doubt in her heart. Even when butterflies were currently in her stomach right now, she still was doubting Ash's faith. "What about... Hypothetically speaking, what if you were immortal, and I wasn't immortal what would you do?" Squiddo asked the question, she wanted to know what would Ash answer to it, would he call it crazy? Tell her she was crazy she didn't know. Ash looked like he was going to answer, Squiddo braced for any negatives.
"I would give up forever, to touch you one last time, I cannot live without you" He said it as another promise of devotion. Squiddo was flustered hearing this, a slight flush of pink could be seen on her cheeks right now. But it wasn't enough to fill the doubt in her heart, even if he was saying this so genuinely. He used to be the invisible mafia's leader, a villain master of manipulation. She couldn't tell if it was true or not. Looking at her parents or parent, her papa was the one taking care of her and jaron every since they were young until she and Jaron moved out of their childhood home.
She didn't want to end up like him, so she was always cautious with love. Ash who saw Squiddo deep in her thoughts, and seeing the doubt in her face, he lifts up her hand placed a peck on the back of her hands, which got Squiddo's attention back to him again. "Squiddo, you are the closest to heaven that I've ever been, being with you makes me not want to go home, you are my home" He said firmly once more, another promise, undying loyalty to his Squiddo.
Rekrap soon arrived, placing their meals on the table and quickly moving away to let the couple have their moment. It turned awkward once more, the two deciding to eat for now. But Squiddo's head was in a turmoil, emotions like a rollercoaster, she doesnt know what to feel. Before she knew it, tears were already streaming down her face, while she was in the middle of eating. Ash saw her tears and felt more guilt deep down, he grabbed a hand napkin from his pocket and started to wipe her tears away.
"I'm so sorry for avoiding you, I'm so sorry for not spending more time with you" Ash apologize's sincerely, he didn't plan to hurt his Squiddo's feelings this much. "I'm so sorry for making you think I was cheating on you, I'm so sorry Squiddo" He said continuing to wipe her tears away, now he himself was sad, he should've never neglected his girlfriend in the first place, all this time he actually was just planning to propose to her. He felt awful of himself.
Afterwards the two would finish dinner, Squiddo stopped her tears of sadness earlier ago. The two were taking a walk, in the restaurant garden(they have for some reason) Holding hands firm and sweet. "Y'know honey, I wouldn't want the world to see me" Ash said suddenly to Squiddo, but the 'honey' made her feel a tinge of embarrassment.
"Why?" Squiddo asked which the tanned man replied. "Cause I don't think that they'd understand" Ash answered to Squiddo, opening up his opinions towards her. "Some people would to be honest, but not the whole world" The orange haired female reasoned with her boyfriend. "Everything in this world is made to be broken, from my perspective" Ash shared another opinion of his, his belief upon things and people in this world.
Squiddo doesn't have any response for a bit. "Well I don't think that's true" Squiddo made her response to her boyfriend. Which he scoffed at but slightly shakes his head afterwards. "But Squiddo dear, I just want you to know who I am" Ash said as he halted from walking, Squiddo stopped as well confused.
The mafia leader, would never kneel to anyone, but wanted everyone to kneel to him. But that was a whole different man, this time he is the previous mafia leader and had change since. Ash got on one knee, and pulled that same small red velvet box that Wemmbu gave him. His order from the custom jewelry shop.
He opened the box, displaying the stunning engagement ring to Squiddo. "Would you do me the honors of making me the most happiest man alive?" The tanned man asked waiting for the orange haired female's response. "Yes!" She said with no second thought. Ash was now truly the happiest man ever, slipping the ring into his now fiance's ring finger. The two hugged, and gently kissed eachother on the lips.
But there happy moment was interrupted by the applause of an unsuspecting audience. There the entire gang, Kyle, Redd, Pangi, Zam, Jumper, were all applausing and cheering for the two. The whole time they were tailing them and eavesdropping on their conversations. Ash was irritated by them, having to ruin him and his newly fiance's moment. But Squiddo was too happy to care about their moment being interrupted.
She saw from afar her twin brother, Jaron. Who was also clapping to the couple but mostly for Squiddo's happiness. Walking up to the couple, "Congratulations sis for your engagement, and you Mr. Ash have to treat my sister like a queen" Jaron said glaring coldly at Ash. "I will treat her more then just a queen, she will be my queen" Ash said in a good way, with Squiddo being a bit flustered due to Ash's statement but overall she was content.
Ash would see his papa from afar, crying tears of joy for the two being newly betrothed. Having a genuine smile to them, which Ash also smiled. He could call himself the most happiest man of the entirety of Unstable at this day, and at this moment. Overcoming a milestone with his fiance.
Never would the notorious leader of the dangerous invisible mafia ever thought he would find love through a girl he kind of kidnapped during his reign. But that was now in the past, forgive and forget. What's in the past should stick in the past, he now wanted to do everything for his fiance. And promised himself to never neglect her again. And would always make her happy.
