It took Celeste and Butch 3 minutes to get home.
"Hey, Butchie. I was thinking, I want to go out and explore the wasteland and try and find a bigger place to expand our town. I want to go out tomorrow, I have a pipboy, so does Amata, and you. If I need anything or help, I can easily call you."
"Cela..that doesn't sound like a great plan..it's dangerous out there, I got shot just moments after we leave the vault. Please don't do this. I can handle things out in the wasteland myself with the squad. We need you here, as the mayor."
"Oh shush. I am a grown woman, I know how to handle myself. I beat you up at 16 didn't I?"
Butch blushed as he remembered the G.O.A.T exam. He was messing with Amata, and he got confronted by Celeste.
He regrets what he did having him and the others try and beat her up.
He also remembers the exam results.
Amata went onto the Vault Physician, it was her dream job.
Celeste, she became a Shift Supervisor. It was why she was a great leader and had a chance to be the next Overseer.
Butch, he became a Vault Guard, that was when he learned how to use a gun.
That G.O.A.T Exam, gave them the skills to start their new lives now.
There was no way, he would allow Celeste out of his life.
"I know you did..this is different, I don't want to lose you..I-I ..care about you, Cela.."
His words melted her heart and put a wide smile on her face.
She looked away and had to contemplate her options.
"I know you are an adult, I get that. The wasteland is dangerous though, with very very bad people..people who can and will kill you for no reason.."
"I have to do this. We cannot live in a crater forever we can stay as settlers of Megaton, but we can make it better. I promise I will call you if I am in any danger...I promise."
"You can go..."
"Why did you hesitate?"
"You can go...on one condition..you become mine. I like you, and I don't want to lose you. I want to at least have the chance to say and know that at some point in my pathetic life, I got to call you mine. That I got to have a beautiful woman, like you in my life."
Celeste's heart felt like it caught on fire. Her breath got caught in her throat. She could feel as though tears might form in her blue, almond-shaped eyes.
"Oh, Butchie.."
Butch took Celeste's chin in his fingers. He lifted her head up and met her gaze. They slowly moved towards each other. Celeste and Butch both felt fireworks, but it died out when Wadsworth interrupted them.
"Madam, I just wanted to know if you would like me to prepare dinner!"
"Yes Wadsworth, that would be lovely. Also after you finish cooking for us, can you please pack me a bag full of things I might need for the wasteland? Food, water, medicine, and ammo please?"
"I will once dinner is done!"
"Thank you.
They both blushed, from their very first kiss. Celeste was so happy her life was halfway complete.
"So..would you like to start sharing my bed with me?"
He couldn't stop smiling when she asked him. He was wishing to share a bed with her, so he could feel her warmth.
"I was hoping we could..thank you.."
"I want to tell Amata the great news! May I?"
"I'll tell her. We should get some rest after dinner. You have a big few days ahead of you."
They took a seat on the sofa and decided to play with an old checkers board.
They laughed and enjoyed spending time with each other.
Butch was the happiest he has ever been.
He has always wanted to be with Celeste, ever since they were 16 taking the G.O.A.T Exam. She was the one for him. He could feel it in his soul and heart.
