I've been forgetting to post it but here it is now. It is based on a roleplay I have with her where Pyrrha is in a polygamous marraige with Blake and Jaune. Blake and Pyrrha already being married. I know, odd but this focuses on Arkos./p

A week ago was Pyrrha and Blake's four year anniversary and now it was Jaune and Pyrrha's four year anniversary. Unfortunately for the two, Blake, Yang, Zeus(Pyrrha and Jaune's first child), as well as Blake and Pyrrha's daughter, Isabelle, had all gotten sick on this special day. All day, the arkos couple tended to everyone's needs to try to help them rest up. Finally, the clock struck 6 pm and everyone but Jaune and Pyrrha was sound asleep./p

"I had such a great day planned out for us, Pyrrha. I'm sorry we weren't able to actually go anywhere." Defeat lingered on his voice as he spoke.

"We may have spent the day tending to our loved ones but we were together at least. Nora and Ren are out on separate missions and had to ask Velvet to babysit their children." Slowly, she stood to her feet and smiled. "So, what are we going to have for dinner, sweetheart?"/p

Hey, Pyrrha and I were wanting to stop by your club for dinner and–" A pause for a few seconds, Coco must've been talking. "Yes, yes. She and Blake are still together. But it's our anniversary today and we want to eat somewhere nice and quiet. One of the spots in your club came to mind. I also wanted to ask a favor."/p

"Jaune! I'm headed out to the car!" She let him know as she made her way through the door and headed to the mini SUV, opening the door and getting in. She waited patiently for a few minutes before Jaune finally came out the door and got into the vehicle. "Well, you sure took your time, dear."/p

Velvet escorted the two to their special spot that Coco saved for them. A small table just close enough to the kitchen to smell the food but far enough to not have the aroma overdraw your attention from the beach view out the window. It was very easy to read the joy on Pyrrha's face as Coco quickly brought them a complimentary bottle of wine and began to pour it for them. During the dinner date, the two had a rather wonderful time together as they ate. Recalled old stories together, shared some jokes and did a bit of flirting between themselves./p

It's going to get even better." Velvet came back out a few minutes later with a goofy smile on her face, knowing what was about to happen. She set down the dessert between the two lovers. Pyrrha easily noticed the smile before her eyes picked out the reason for it. Leaned up against the dessert was an engagement ring. Placed in the perfect spot for the red head to see the ring and the diamond that sat atop it. Tears began welling up in her eyes as she realized just what was going on. "Jaune…." She said in a happy but hushed tone./p

The flood of joyful tears began flowing with no control whatsoever. She visibly opened her mouth to say yes, but no words could come out. All the redhead could do was nod in delight over and over again to show how much she wanted to say yes. As Jaune held her left hand to put the ring on hit, she covered her mouth in surprise that this was actually happening. Her boyfriend, now fiance, just proposed to her after specially ordering her one of her favorite chocolate desserts. This man certainly knew her heart inside and out and how to work it like a toy. Hugging him tightly, she cried onto his shoulder and smiled as wide as she could, mumbling about how much she loved him./p
