For Astra
SakuMo's Owain/Odin Prompts
Prompt: You know that song from How to Train Your Dragon 2, For The Dancing And The Dreaming? that but Corrwain
Me: *Googles* OHECK IT'S CUTE OKAY
"Another day has ended, my dearest Corrin," he said as he closed the door behind him, slipping out of "Odin" and into "Owain" for their private moment. "I, Owain Dark, your humble boyfriend, have come seeking solace in the glow of your radiance before night's slumber claims my consciousness!"
Corrin stood at the dresser, toweling her freshly-showered hair, and she giggled as she joined him in the center of the room. "I'm happy to see you too, babe," she said. Once she was in reach, Owain immediately whisked her into his arms and moved them in a sweeping dance in circles, grinning from ear to ear as she laughed. "You're certainly in a good mood," she chuckled.
"That's because I'm once again alone with my darling goddess, my beacon in the night, my precious dragonlily," he said as he continued to twirl them in a ballroom waltz. "Such a moment gives wings to my heart and a dance to my step!"
Giggling, she let him lead her along, placing a hand on his shoulder, the other in his palm. "It's a little sad to dance without music, though, isn't it?"
"Then I'll just have to serenade you as well, for your love gives song to my spirit as well!" he said, beaming.
"You're seriously going to sing?" Corrin asked with an amused grin, watching as he stared at the ceiling for thought for a moment.
"I am indeed!" he said, grinning broadly. "Perhaps you know this one; it's a song I learned when I first came to Nohr."
Corrin smiled as he began, his rich baritone carrying them along in their dance:
I'll swim and sail on savage seas
With ne'er a fear of drowning
And gladly ride the waves of life
If you would marry me
Startled, she looked up at him; he was staring back at her, his eyes intent upon her. Unfazed by her gaze, he continued:
No scorching sun nor freezing cold
Will stop me on my journey
If you will promise me your heart
And love me for eternity
She of course recognized the tune. It was from a famous Nohrian musical about taming dragons, sung by the two love interests at the conclusion of the play to close it with their implied future. Grinning shrewdly, she cut him off for the next verse:
My dearest one, my darling dear
Your mighty words astound me
But I've no need for mighty deeds
When I feel your arms around me
Owain blinked, taken aback by her rejoinder. Cheeks dimpling, he swept her away from him to twirl her, continuing:
But I would bring you rings of gold
I'd even sing you poetry
And I would keep you from all harm
If you would stay beside me
With a spin, she joined his step again, countering as they turned:
I have no use for rings of gold
I care not for your poetry
I only want your hand to hold
I only want you near me
They were both lost in the moment now, sweeping broadly as they sang together:
To love and kiss to sweetly hold
For the dancing and the dreaming
Through all life's sorrows and delights
I'll keep your laugh inside me
Beaming at one another, they gracefully twirled another round, singing:
I'll swim and sail on savage seas
With ne;er a fear of drowning
And gladly ride the waves of life
If you will marry me
Owain brought them to an abrupt stop. Cupping her cheek, he sang a slow line as he reached into his pocket:
If you will marry me
He opened his palm to her, a small, golden ring in the center of it. He smiled tenderly as she glanced down at it and then back at him, her eyes glossy with tears. Unable to speak, she nodded, and they melted into an embrace.
After a soft, sweet moment, punctuated by Corrin's sobs and Owain's gentle kisses against her head, they pulled back to look each other in the eye. "…But you actually love my poetry, right?" he asked suddenly, grinning at her.
Giggling into another sob, Corrin wiped at her eyes, her cheeks sore from smiling. "I most certainly do, Owain," she sniffled. "Almost as much as I love you."
