Being part of Verosika Mayday's crew came with many benefits. Namely exclusive access to the hottest clubs in the Lust Ring. Like Ozzie's for one. There was a reason it was always booked. The entertainment, the food, the stylish decor, and not to mention the host, Ozzie, himself, the embodiment of lust. It was the place to be. And the only place, Coco felt deserving of Apple's presence.
It was a special occasion, their anniversary. It was a simple plan. They get dressed up real hot, make everyone in Lust green with envy. Verosika gets on stage and dedicates a song to them. Not just any song, their song. The song Verosika and Coco wrote together. The song changed their relationship status on their socials. Then Coco was going to pull out the ring, as unorthodox marriage is in Hell. It's what Coco wanted. Something tangible and memorable, a symbol of their devotion to each other.
It wasn't just a special night, it was the most important night.
Coco held Apple close as they walked through the club. Verosika stood at the edge of the bar, waving them over. "Heeeey, babies!" She took a long sip of her drink. "You two look so hot."
The three exchanged a quick hug. "Of course, no one in this club is hotter than Apple." Coco gave her girlfriend a quick smack on the ass. "Wanna go find us a table, babe?" Apple agreed, before she left they shared a kiss that too short for their liking.
"So tonight's the tonight, hun?" Verosika pulled a small box out of her purse.
Coco took a quick peaked inside, nearly blinding herself with the light the ring reflected. "It's gorgeous."
"Nothing but the best for my girls," Verosika hugged Coco again. "I'm just so happy for the both of you. I remember when-" She pulled pulled away. "Probably shouldn't reminisce, it'll make me all misty eyed."
"I know what you mean," she squeezed the box in her palm. "Been waiting for this night for too long." They soon parted ways and Coco was sitting next Apple.
They got as close as they could, Apple resting her head on Coco's shoulder. It wouldn't be too much longer before Apple would stop being her girlfriend, and start being her fiancee. Coco kissed her forehead, her lips lingering.
"Hey," Apple stirred from her comfortable position, "isn't that-"
Coco chuckled. "The imp that works for Verosika's ex?" They watched closely as Moxxie took the stage. "Hell, yeah!" Coco raised her glass, the alcohol must have hit her sooner than she thought.
Apple laughed, raising her own glass to cheer in celebration of love. Coco squeezed the box once again as the imp started to strum his guitar. His voice cracked but his words sweet, they resonated with Coco deeper than she'd imagine. She smiled waiting her moment.
