Again, I own nothing.
Just another short drabble. In this one, Scarlett and Snake have been married for a couple years.
It was their anniversary. Scarlett was trying to act as though nothing was out of the ordinary. But she knew, just knew Snake Eyes had to be planning something. He never forgot their anniversary. Not after he had called off the wedding the first time. She had forgiven him for it, after the fact, when she learned about all the details. She had given him time and space to grieve as he needed. And she welcomed him back when he returned to her. He had spent the last several years proving how much he needed her. And each anniversary, he had made sure he had a little something planned.
One year he had swept her away to the cabin for a wonderful week, just the two of them. Without any missions or insane fellow Joes to bother them. She still didn't know what kind of blackmail he had on some of them to be sure they didn't interrupt.
The year after that, he had surprised her with a trip to an exclusive resort in Hawaii. She had the understanding that being an Arishikage master had its benefits.
But this year he hadn't done anything yet. Normally she got clues or hints. But nothing. And he was nowhere to be found. She was in the middle of searching the Pit for him when she ran into Cover Girl. The two chatted for a bit and caught up on some of the silly gossip going around the base about the latest missions. Something having to do with Tunnel Rat having to wear a dress to get out of a situation was the most popular right now. The two enjoyed a good giggle over the shared image of him in a pink frilly dress when a streak of red caught Scarlett's eye. She excused herself to go investigate. Jogging after the red blur, she found Jinx standing nonchalantly in a corridor waiting for her.
"Sensei wants you to meet him in the dojo in 15 minutes. And he says to make sure you have your plans cancelled for the rest of the day." With that, Jinx took her leave.
When Scarlett opened the dojo door 15 minutes later, she was not disappointed.
Just going to let you fill in the rest for now… lol
