THE PROPOSAL

"They did," Fletcher admitted, "But I saved all their asses and now they love me." He grinned.

"Something like that." Rife muttered.

"Hey, so, uh, what are you guys doing?"

"The usual."

"Ah…" He stared at Tanith, who trotted passed, "Still dating Ghastly?" He asked.

"Actually." She squealed as she held out her left hand that perched a small ring, "I have a fiancée." She squealed again.

"NO WAY!" Valkyrie stared at ring, "About time!"

"I know! We've been dating for more than decade!" Alice finally joined the girls and eventually became excited, the guys stared at each other and waited for Ghastly to pass.

Fletcher cleared his throat, "So, when's Wedding?"

"I dunno…" She turned her attention to Valkyrie, "Val, would you-"

She shrieked and her, "Yes! Yes! Of course!"

"Are you sure? It's a lot of work."

"Tanith? Seriously? Why would you ask that?" Tanith's smiled broadly.

Valkyrie spotted Ghastly, "Get over here!" He obliged.

"Yes?" Ghastly cautiously asked, "What is it?"

"How dare you!" Valkyrie said in a hardest voice possible, "Wait this long to propose!" Ghastly eased and Fletcher laughed.

"Well?" Ghastly hinted at Skulduggery

"Yes, I'll be your best man." Ghastly sighed in relief and everyone relaxed, "Great, so that's done, can we get back to business?" Everyone nodded.

"But, what business is there to attend to?" Alice asked.

"Um, good point." Vendetta clicked her tongue, "Your training?" she asked slowly.

"Um, I guess, Vendetta?"

"Sure, let me get my jacket." She took a left out the door before Alice could object to train outside.

"Relax, you need the experience." Valkyrie elbowed her sister, who scowled. Vendetta came back wearing a torn red leather jacket.

"Shall we?" Alice sighed and joined her side, "Rife, you too."

"But I'm so damp." He countered. Vendetta mouthed fuck and her hands splayed, quickly the water disappeared, "Fine, I'll go."

They reached the main doors and Ghastly called back, "You wouldn't have that problem if I made your clothes." Rife glanced back as the doors creaked shut.

Tanith and Ghastly were in a corridor, just walking. Ghastly kept glancing at her until she looked at him, then he turned away.

"Hey, babe. Are you OK?" She asked and locked around his arm.

"Yes, fine, peachy, why?"

"You look nervous, you sure you're alright?" Tanith stopped him and cupped his face, "You're sweating." she murmured.

Ghastly smiled weakly and kissed her, "I'll be fine." He assured, she nodded and they started walking. Ghastly's shoe caught a snag on the rug and tumbled over, she giggled. He stayed in a kneel and plunged his hands in his pockets.

"W-what are you doing?" Tanith asked, determining his next move.

"Hold on, sweetie… Ah." He brought up a small velvet box and stood up, "Tanith, next time our lives are in danger, I want you to know something", He awkwardly went back to a kneel, "When we actually die in a glorious battle; I want you to be my wife." Tanith frowned and Ghastly cringed, "What?"

"That has to be the cheesiest proposal ever." her tone had no emotion. Moments passed and Tanith sprang onto Ghastly and tightly hugged him, "Of course." Ghastly sighed in relief as Tanith kissed his neck and trailed to his lips, "I love you so much."

"I love you more." Ghastly slid the ring on her finger.

"I beg to differ." She smiled and rolled off of him onto the ground and rested on his arm. They laid side-by-side for a few minutes more. Now, how were they going to break it to the others?

Aw, I know, right? Reading Shakespeare Undead and I love it! It's based in the 1530's and the main character is a chassuer (hunter) she kills zombies. One night, a strange figure walks into her garden, he uses poetic words that win her over, William Shakespeare (Will for short). Will is like Skulduggery, but he's a Necro-vampire (a vampire that's also a necromancer), you should read it, it's amazingly sweet (I'm addressing my female readers) it's under 300 pages long, there is sex but it's implied, like how (penname) Sabrina Sparrow does it. It's, it's so amazingly amazing, read it and tell me what you think. Due do it's romance I decided to get a pair married. Bye! Xoxo
