He had everything he could ever want, a group of friends, a boyfriend, the whole kingdom to his name, everything seemed to be finally going right. No more fighting wars or hiding from hateful people, Haru was finally content. But there was still one thing he wanted to do before he really considered himself finally settled into his new life as ruler.

Micha was his everything, and the demon was absolutely adoring his life working as the kingdom's historian and maintaining all the artefacts and museum records. He'd always loved history, and he finally had his dream of working with it all thanks to Haru gaining to crown and not leaving him behind in the process. Haru and Micha were inseparable, soulmates.

And Haru knew that now, was the time.

"There you are! You disappeared" Michas voice called out.

The warm setting sun beamed down on him, Haru turning away from the railing of the castles rooftop to face his beloved and admire his beauty in the golden hour lighting.

"I had to get something" he replied.

Micha wrapped his arms around the dragon boy, nuzzling his head into the crook of his neck making sure not to accidentally poke his lover with his horns.

"What's with you being all sentimental recently?" Micha asked.

"Just... thinking. I finally have everything I worked so hard for, my best friend is alive and their kind are back. I have the power to make laws regarding equality so no one can be hurt again. I have you..." Haru replied.

"You're such a suck up"

"Maybe I am but it's for you isn't it?"

He placed a kiss on Micha's forehead, making the demon smile.

"I'm proud of you... you've already done so much as king to better Izroulia and it hasn't even been half a year yet" he complimented.

"I'm proud of you too, working your ass off to fix all the years of disinformation in those archives and unravel the true history" Haru replied.

The two stood in each others arms, just embraced in silence for a moment as the warm sun beamed down on them. Sometimes all they wanted was to just feel each other's presence, no words were needed, just the beating of each others hearts close together. But as much as Haru wanted to just stand there and gently run his hands through Micha's hair forever, he had something to say.

"Micha..." he began.

"Hm?"

Breaking the hug Haru took hold of Micha's hands and held them tight, looking down at him.

"I've truly been blessed by Aphrodite herself to have you, I love you more than words can describe" Haru said.

Micha smiled, cheeks dusted pink at the sweet words.

"Honey..." He muttered shyly.

Despite being together for several years, Haru still managed to give the demon butterflies.

"Now I'm king I can give you the world, anything you want. I'd move the entire island for you, I was a wreck before I had you. I'll never forget the things you did for me, and how much you've helped me grow. I want you to be with me forever, even in the afterlife when we're just shades drifting the underworld I want to be with you. You're half of my soul, as the poets would say" Haru rambled, too many feelings to put into words.

It was right about now Micha was starting to realise what was happening. Alone on the rooftop, out in the sunset, his lover rambling on about how much he loved him. And it was when one of Haru's hands let go of his to reach into his pocket the suspicions were confirmed.

Overwhelmed with shock and joy, Micha's free hand went straight to his mouth covering it in surprise as he watched Haru hand him the small box containing the most beautiful ring he'd ever seen.

"Micha, please. Marry me?" Haru asked, holding his breath in anticipation.

Deep down he knew Micha would say yes, but proposing is always so nerve wracking he was still anxious about it.

Tears in his eyes Micha nodded frantically, wanting to burst with excitement.

"Yes! Are you fucking kidding me? YES!" He beamed.

Immediately jumping onto the dragon boy Micha wrapped his arms around him, pulled him closer and pressed his lips to Haru's. It was like time stopped, and nothing else in the universe existed apart from them. No word in this solar system could describe how much joy Micha felt.

When the kiss broke, he looked down at the ring as Haru slipped it on his finger and officially sealed the deal. The ring was exactly the kind of thing he loved, gold band, bright red Ruby as red as his eyes and in finely carved cursive 'beloved' was engraved into the gold right beside the gem. Being knowledgeable on not just history but archeology and by extension stones too, he knew a Ruby like this must have come from the deep sea. He knew Haru must have gotten Aries to find one for him, and the whole group probably knew this was coming.

They'd done really well keeping the secret, he'd give them that.

Haru took Micha's glasses and pushed them up to sit on his forehead so he could wipe the tears of joy away with his sleeve, lovingly gazing into his Ruby red eyes.

"I love you" he smiled.

"I love you too, so much Haru" Micha replied.

He wanted to run through the kingdom screaming that he was getting married, the joy made that much adrenaline rush through him. He wanted to scream, laugh, cry harder than he already was, pounce on Haru and never let him go. But when Haru pulled him back into that gentle hug, and he could hear his heart beating with his ear pressed to his chest... all that energy calmed and he just stayed wrapped up in his embrace.

Micha never wanted this evening to end. As long as he was in Haru's arms, everything would be ok.
