An evergreen forest was layered with a cold white blanket; the scene a winter wonderland. Black paved sidewalks winded underneath the snowy canopy, snow piled along the benches. A cold breeze shook the leaves of a pine, making the small critters hidden within it stir. A woman sat on a wooden bench, arms crossed to hide from the biting cold. She was staring down, black bangs hiding her eyes. The frost had nipped at her nose, making it slightly red. The female was dressed in red, her attire perfect for the festivities in store. She looked off to the side, hues filled thought. A small snowflake gently floated down, landing in her midnight hair. It was followed by others, painting the black walkway specks of white.
A dark clad figure slid onto the bench without her noticing, casually taking a seat next to her. She blinked, hearing the movement but not turning to see. She knew his scent; like fresh mountain air and soap. The male turned his hazel eyes towards her and sighed. He was used to such silence from the female, but was clever enough to work around it. He placed an arm on her shoulders, chuckling when he saw her shiver from his oddly cold touch. She finally turned to face him, blue eyes questioning.
"Yes?"
The male raised an eyebrow and smiled.
"How are you?"
"Cold, and tired."
The male bit his pale lip, a flash of guilt in his eyes. He slowly nodded. The female looked away again, and he frowned.
"Seren, I am sorry I made you wait. I had .. business to tend to"
The female blinked, her face an expressionless void.
"I see.." She murmured.
The male sighed once more, looking off to the side. He placed his gloved hand in his pocket, his hand closing around the small item in it. He turned to her again and cupped her chin, making him face her.
"I am sorry for my absence earlier. It was my fault. How .. can I make it up to you?" He whispered in his low voice, eyes staring into hers. Seren blinked, her cheeks rosy red. She looked down, black lashes covering her blue orbs.
"I understand Zane. There's no need for any apology. You were busy."
Zane smiled and let go of her heart shaped face, resting his hand on hers. Seren turned away, feeling heat rush to her cheeks. The male chuckled and looked at the scenery, admiring its beauty. He looked to his lover once more and gently entwined his hand with hers. The male stood up, leading her to the snow-covered pavement.
"Zane?"
The platinum blonde gave her gentle smile and rested a hand on her waist while holding the other. The two were in waltz position; standing still as flurries of snow graced their way from the heavens. The male spoke softly, his hands ever caring as he held her.
"Shall we dance?" He said, looking down at her.
Seren raised an eyebrow. "There's no music, how would we-?"
Zane grinned. "Follow my lead." The male moved to the right, causing Seren to follow. She matched his movements as he led her in silent dance, looking up at him with a bemused expression. Soon, the two were dancing to their own unheard beat. The male twirled her, and she laughed, music to his ears. Their tempo increased and soon both were laughing, arms wrapped around each other as they danced their way from all the troubles that the world carried and into a this winter paradise.
The male stopped and swiped her off her feet, carrying her bridal style. She yelped, and clung to his black trench coat, eyes wide. Zane smiled and fell back into the snow, breathing deeply and catching his breath. Seren laid in his arms, a sigh escaping her rosy red lips.
"You dance well.." Seren whispered.
Zane chuckled, his hazel eyes to the dark gray sky peaking from the canopy. He reached into his pocket and held a small item in his hand.
Seren looked at him, breathing out a sigh. Sometimes, he could be so distinct, like a puzzle she had to figure out, Android or not.
"Seren.."
Zane sat up, which caused the female to do the same. The blonde male stared at her for several moments, admiring her cold and dark grace. She pried away from his gaze, a blush on her cheeks. The male took her hand and placed a small box in it, letting the hold linger. He watched as her eyes widened, staring at the small black item.
"I was late for a reason. I had needed time to think about this decision." The male stated calmly. Seren slowly nodded, blue eyes locked to his. The male rubbed her pale hand and sighed.
"Will you marry me?"
He flipped the top open revealing a silver ring, encrusted with sapphires and diamonds, in a princess cut style.
Seren blinked, and glanced at the ring, but looked straight back to him. The female bit her red lips, and slowly nodded. She leaned towards him, placing a kiss onto his. The male smiled and let out a nervous laugh, wrapping his arms around her and pulling her into a laid down hug.
I think that answer is apparent..
