Requested by GamingGator06! Yea, I'm making Kirby mostly mute in this au, however, she can talk, just not very often. Mutism is described as a person that cannot speak or just refrains from it, but I believe that Kirby can speak, she just decides not to most of the time. Yes, Ik that's stupid, but I'm the one writing this book, so shut up- Anyway, enjoy this wholesomeness!

Metaknight was just strolling through Dream Land and taking in the scenery when he felt someone behind him. He looked down to see a very familiar color and sighed, knowing only of one person who predominantly wore pink. "Hello to you too, Kirby... How are you, love?" Metaknight chuckled and turned to meet his wife. "I'm alright, Meta! How are you?" Kirby signed with a warm grin. "I'm just fine, what brings you here?"

Metaknight responded, yet was only met with a giggle. "Ah, right. It's been a while since we walked especially with your stomach ache last week. I told you to stop inhaling your food like a vaccum." He sighed. "Well that's my job, babe; I suck stuff up. You should know that pretty well already~" The pinknette silently replied with a suggestive undertone. "Yes, I know. But please, keep that on the down low, I'm not in the mood to get teased right now." The knight replied, blushing slightly under his helmet.

"Meta, can you take your helmet off? I wanna see what's underneath!" Kirby muttered, it being the first time she actually talked in a while. Metaknight sighed and led his wife to somewhere more secluded. "I want this to be for your eyes, and your eyes only... Promise me you will not tell anyone what you see, ok?" He replied. The pinknette held out her pinkie finger to say she promises.

"And a pinkie promise is never broken." The knight replied and locked his pinkie finger with hers. Then he slowly removed his helmet to reveal a scarred and deeply tanned face with bright yellow eyes. Kirby's face reddened a lot as this was the first time she ever saw his face, and she absolutely loved it! "So.... how do I look, babe?" Metaknight nervously asked.

The pinknette cupped his face with her hands and grinned. "You look handsome, my love.... Even better than I had imagined!" Her eyes seemed to say. The knight chuckled and wrapped his arms around her waist. "Thanks, Kirby... I love you so much." He sighed. "I love you too, Meta!" Kirby replied and planted a kiss on his nose.

"Do you remember our first ever fight?" Metaknight pondered. Kirby nodded and tilted her head ever so slightly. He sighed before continuing. "Well.... I think that's when I started to fall for you.... Your smile, your determination, your spirit...." Meta paused to catch himself before continuing. "All of it caught me by surprise... I never thought someone so kind and innocent would be the famous protector of Dream Land.... But now I know you are not what you seem. I apologize for underestimating your abilities, my love."

He finished. The pinknette only giggled at his kind words and layered her hands on his chest. The knight wrapped his arms around her waist and planted a kiss on her nose, making her squeak in flusteredness. Meta chuckled and put his helmet back on. "Awwww, but I was almost done counting all your awesome scars!!...." Kirby pouted in a somewhat joking manner.

"I don't want to reveal my face to anyone else yet... You are the second to see my face after King Deedeedee..." Metaknight replied and pulled a flower from a nearby rock, gently weaving it into her hair. "There... Now you're more stunning than before." He sighed and held her hand. The pinknette touched the flower with an ear to ear grin, gently squeezing her husband's hand as a thank you.

"Of course, hon. What wouldn't I do for you that you've already done for me?" Under the helmet, the knight smiled warmly and continued his walk with Kirby by his side. What a peaceful day to spend with those you love... and what a day to show someone just how much you love them. "Meta, sweetie.... No matter what, you're never a monster to me... I love you dearly, and I always will!"

The woman sighed and nuzzled into her husband's arm. "I love you too, puffball." Meta chuckled and intertwined his fingers with hers. The pinknette huffed at the nickname, but it soon turned to amused chuckles after a bit. The two set up a picnic and watched the sunset on another beautiful day together.... No matter the moral differences they had, they made it work and they made it work well. Maybe they'll settle down and start a family soon, maybe not. It really doesn't matter now because they just care about each other.
