A/N: We have the Sebusai marriage proposal here from the Second Time Around universe, with Kurasame from Final Fantasy Type-0 making a guest appearance and a shocker for a very happy ending! Pairings: Fang/Lightning (married), Serah/Snow (married), Seven/Sice (dating to engaged), Rydia/Edge (married) and Y'shtola/Lyse (married).
A Proposal and Two Surprises
Lyse, Edge, Snow and Fang were giving Seven one surprisingly LONG pep talk for how to pop the question to her white haired girlfriend, the only person Seven ever dated: Sice. One could tell that the silver haired lass was more than a nervous wreck in what should be a joyous occasion. The small group was too into the pep talk to notice that the doorbell to the Yun-Farron household being rung more than a few times. As far as anyone knew, they weren't expecting anyone out of the ordinary, but they did know that their respective better half is heading back from a proper Girls Day Out - the only thing that made sense to Snow if he had to be completely honest here. With Maria taking a vacation in Fynn with Firion, Hope and Porom - all of who recently had gotten engaged and joined Vanille and her girlfriend Carlyn, today was the only real day most of the people associated with either the Fangrai pair or the Sebusai pair had available for a while, with some of them having full knowledge of the ring Seven plans to propose to Sice with - one that cost the silver haired lass more than just a fortune...if it weren't for an unexpected source of income from one Leon of Fynn, who was recently hired in the Guardian Corps. It was Seven who answered the door, feeling overwhelmed by the tips she was given, with the only reasonable piece coming from Lyse, to be yourself. The Orience native would get the shock of her life when she saw her former teacher at the door...
"Kurasame... what are you doing here in Bodhum-Oerba...? Aren't you supposed to be teaching...?" - the very questions were all Seven could ask before Kurasame gave her a hug with "Snaggletooth invited me over..." as his response. Fang's laugh had the rest in the house laughing too - Kurasame was one lad who no one wanted to inform either Seven or Sice of his visit to the Yun-Farron household. It was Fang and Lightning's wedding that he last saw them at in person, as he had to go back to Akademia a few days after the happy event. Although he only came with his loyal tonberry, said tonberry was friendly with cats and is very fond of Odin, the Yun-Farron cat. Once the duo finally enter the house, it was the beloved feline who went straight to the tonberry and do his best version of a hug. The tonberry was pleased, and the two would go off and have a nap together. It was their way to catch up with each other despite not being human like the rest in the household were. Everyone currently at the Yun-Farron household found this very amusing and adorable to say the least. It was a few minutes later that Kurasame personally brought gifts for every couple at the house, recalling that the couples who are nowhere near were given their gift, which everyone enjoyed to the fullest, especially Carlyn's gift from the Rubrum resident. What was even more surprising what that Kurasame brought something for them all to eat.
Sice would be floored when she comes back to the Yun-Farron household.

Sice and the other lasses who she went with were doing their best to 'doll' the white haired woman up which was surprisingly failing spectacularly, with Y'shtola being the wise one and not contribute a damn thing to the clusterfuck that is trying to doll Sice up. Even Lightning was encouraging Y'shtola's behvaiour in the matter because Serah used her "Little Farron Powers" and conned her sister to join her, Rydia and Y'shtola to doll the white haired lass up, even though Sice wasn't a fan of being dolled up. At all. To make it more interesting, Sice would rather be doing the do with Seven in their shared shower than having a Girls Day Out like this. Over the last few days, the white haired woman was HORNY. Everyone lost count at how many times Sice was denied some silver haired action at this point. Being the observant one of the bunch, Rydia went into White Flag Mode, as all the attempts to doll Sice up failed, with both Y'shtola and Lightning just laughing their arses off at the matter. Now that Serah was outnumbered here, she had no choice but to treat the rest of the group to lunch - for she had officially lost a bet to Lightning on the matter. Hence why Lightning and Y'shtola were both laughing their arses off at 'Little Farron'.
Lunch was an affair that more than made up for the epic fail to doll Sice up. The small group made sure to eat light for a surprise party with more food awaited the group at the Yun-Farron household, with Lightning eating more than usual over the past few weeks. Oddly enough, only Serah knew the real reason why that was the case. With Y'shtola keeping a close eye on the older Farron, the Miq'ote was temporarily attached to Lightning's hip, to ensure whatever is going on with the pinkette it's nothing bad. As for Rydia - her son Cecil is in the middle of his nap at the Yun-Farron household, which was surprising for more than one reason. After the light lunch, the group all headed back to the Yun-Farron household - with only a hair cut for Sice to show as the white haired lass being dolled up. Due to whatever is going on with Lightning, they went in two cars just like they left in two cars for the trip to where they had to go for the day. Rydia drove one car, Serah the other. The entire drive home was either very quiet (that's Lightning for you) or a party in the car (Sice in a nutshell).
Sice lost her shit upon seeing Kurasame's car at the driveway of the Yun-Farron household.

Once Lightning's group arrived at the Yun-Farron household, the open area was all set for the festivities that were set for a fun day at home, complete with dishes from all over the world and other oddities. Pleasantries being exchanged, and Kurasame's gift to the Sebusai pair being a blank check, everyone made themselves at home, with the new round of food causing Lightning's mouth to water at the sight - even Kurasame's contribution to the get together. It was moments later that everyone was able to get themselves a plate of food - Edge had to get Cecil from a secret room, which Odin and the tonberry were all taking a nap with him so that the little one can have something to eat from his nap - and saw Fang get an extra plate for Lightning. I wonder if Fang and Lightning finally got successful with getting pregnant this time. Light's been eating more than usual lately, and I know they've been trying to get pregnant since they got married... Seven and Rydia thought to themselves while fixing their respective plates of food. In the meantime, the duo kept their thoughts on the matter to themselves, for the Mist native took note at how increasingly nervous the silver haired lass has been getting today, all because of a pending marriage proposal from Seven to Sice.
Throughout the meal time, it mainly consisted of a major catch up session, other quiet talk plus a few jokes here and there. The major worry at this point was the marriage proposal; since Seven was spotted being a bit petrified, Fang and Lightning decided to make their own announcement. "Lasses... Little Farron... Giant Oaf... Germs, and Kurasame..." Fang started, causing everyone in the room to laugh their arses off. That intro put Seven at ease for a short while, even though the brunette had more to say. "Sunshine and I, as you lot already know by now, have been trying to start a family of our own since we said 'I Do'... and so far to no avail. As of a few weeks ago however, it seems that Lady Luck changed that for us... because we are expecting a child of our own! Kurasame here is the 'sperm donor' as he wanted to help us with the family planning the entire time (but Lightning here didn't want to use him as an option right away). We don't know if we'll have a boy or a girl, as our biggest concern is the baby's health. We are the happiest that we can be now because of this news!" Fang finished her announcement, to a thunderous cheer from everyone else - with Lightning adding more to the news here, by revealing three envelopes, and revealing that Seven is her and Serah's youngest sister, thanks to a genealogy test they recently took, causing more cheers to come.
It was then that Seven FINALLY mustered the courage to start her marriage proposal to Sice, her long time girlfriend. She started this with an affectionate ramble on how much Sice meant to her, causing the white haired lass to go as red as a fire truck, causing everyone to either go 'aww...' or laugh their arse off to no tomorrow. Something Seven is known for here. It was after the affectionate ramble that the silver haired lass pulled out the small black box from who knows where that contained a ring that Leon paid for, yet Seven herself designed. The simplistic diamonds surrounding the band had Sice at a real loss for words, especially when Seven got close to her longtime - and only - girlfriend. Seven got down on one knee, and took one of Sice's hands into her own. "Sice, you've been with me through so much for so long, and I wouldn't trade that for anything in the world... will you marry me?" Seven ended the ramble with the big question. To everyone's shock, Sice didn't know what to say for awhile, which had Seven starting to worry, and then feel sad for a moment. Upon seeing the sadness in Seven's face, Sice took the ring out of the box and placed it on her own ring finger, seeing a bright future ahead, and with the lass she always has loved, now and forever. "What fucking took you so long to propose to me, Seven? Of course I'll marry your arse!" Sice replied, causing the loudest set of cheers in the house.
Seven and Sice share their first kiss as an engaged couple. Odin and his tonberry buddy finally shows up to give the newly engaged pair their approval, and the Sebusai was rewarded with a cuddle with the non humans later. From Seven being the long lost sister to both Serah and Lightning, to the silver haired lass becoming an aunt to now having a fiancee of her own.
A real silver lining.

A/N #2: MAJOR NEWS. I usually keep my private life to myself, but this is too important for me NOT to share. My mother passed away earlier this month due to cardiac arrest, and the nursing home she was last at is giving my siblings and I a very hard time with things. It's because of this that I may or may not be on a hiatus from writing soon. Will keep you posted ASAP.
A/N #3: Next tale is back in the Paying it Forward universe, but this time it's the Fangrai proposal with a little help from a certain blonde from Vector!
