It was snowing.
It wasn't that cold, really; it was just barely cold enough for the snow to start sticking. Vincent flipped open his cellphone to look at the time. He was supposed to be meeting his girlfriend, Elisabetta tonight.
A night he hoped they would remember forever; if things went well. If things didn't, and he expected them to go badly; being a spawn of humility, he didn't know what would happen. He fumbled in his pocket, reaching for a small, velvet covered box.
Tonight would be... special.
Maybe.

After being dropped off, Elisabetta smoothed down her sweater and zipped up her coat. Her tentacles shoved their way through the holes cut out in the sides, happy for the freedom, but hesitant because of the cold.
She flexed her fingers in the homemade gloves that Cera had made for her. What was it going to be like, talking to Vinny after such a long time apart? ...Was he going to break up with her? She'd never been in a relationship with anyone before, and didn't think she would take a break up gracefully.
"Vincent!" Lissy cried out, giving a wave once she'd spotted a familiar pair of head wings. He was so handsome, her boyfriend. Super model and movie man? No, but he was ten times better in her opinion.

Vincent returned her wave, standing up from the bench to go meet her. "Lissy," he said with a smile. He studied her for a moment. "You've gotten even more beautiful since the last time I saw you." She always did; whether it had been a day or a month. He moved to put his arms around her, prepared to fight with her tentacles if need be.
"I've missed you," he said into her ear. "We have the park to ourselves. What would you like to do?" He would save the ring for later, when she least expected it.
When he thought he had the right words to say, anyway.

Elisabetta's cheeks flushed, and not just from the cold. "Have not." Of course, she knew she had. With all the health food that the company was shoving into her, she'd had to. She slipped her arms around his chest and hugged him. Her little tentacle reluctantly joined in, while the longer one eagerly grasped onto Vincent for warmth.
"I missed you too." She leaned up and gave him a chaste kiss on the lips, saving the good stuff for later. For a Lust child, especially one as impulsive as she, that was an incredible leap indeed. "Lets just walk for a while. I haven't seen you in so long and I want to know what you've been doing." And hopefully not who.

"Walking's great," Vinny agreed with a smile. She wanted to know what he had been up to? That would be difficult to talk about without giving the surprise away. Oh well, if it came out, he'd give it to her and play it by ear. He wrapped an arm possively around her waist.
"I've been working," he said. "At the newer supermarket just down the street from my house. It's a temporary job. I applied for it so I could get you your Christmas present," he added. He had wanted to earn the money on his own, to get her the ring. He had saved up for months. "I'm going to give it to you later tonight," he added mysteriously.
"What about you?"

Elisabetta snuggled up against his side, and slipped her hand into his back pocket. "Oh wow, really? You didn't didn't have to get a job just to get me a present." She frowned. So long as they were dating, that was a present enough to her, so why did he have to go out of his way for her? She had to admit; it was cute, though.
She faked pouted, hiding her secret grin. "Later?" She whined. "Well, I guess that's fine...just means you'll have to wait to get yours." Her bi-colored eyes looked out over the park and marveled at it's night time beauty."Me? I worked at a drive-thru, quit and starting working at a modeling agency as an intern. They really like my potential, Vinny, but I think they really like how fast I get their coffee." She laughed. "Between that and school, I've been really busy."

"I did, though," Vinny said. "Besides, this is a special present," he whispered. "Maybe a once in a lifetime one." It would be worth the hard work if she said yes. He gave her a gentle squeeze.
"Besides, you're my present." Cheesy comment, but he meant it. The greed demon within him was protesting, he could feel it. He moved to kiss her cheek. "You'd make a beautiful model," he said. "As long as you send me pictures."

"A once in a lifetime present...?" Elisabetta trailed off in a whisper, her mind a whirl with possibilities. What could it be? She was buzzing with curiosity. "Why don't you just tell me now and spend the rest of the time we have together just being together?" She pried, then gave his bottom a squeeze.
The spawn warmed from head to toe from his kiss, but the Lust in her wanted more. Alot more than she was willing to give, but she couldn't hold out on everything. Lissy gently grabbed one of his headwings and pulled his head down. "So long as your with me, you'll never have to have a picture. The real thing is all yours." Then she kissed him.

Vinny slowly pulled the velvety box out of his pocket, as if he was hesitant, though he returned Lissy's kiss with enough eagerness he could have been compared to a lust spawn himself. "I love you," he murmurred. He pulled away to bend down on one knee.
Which was difficult; since the ground was wet and cold. He held the open box out to her, taking her hand with his free one. "Lissy," he started. His tongue seemed to be stuck on the roof of his mouth. What if she said no? What if-- No. He had to ask. "We haven't been together that long, but it's been long enough for me to know I want to spend the rest of my life with you."
"Marry me?"

Because she was too busy tugging on his bottom lip, she didn't notice the box until she was bent down on one knee. Very slowly and carefully, it dawned on her. Lissy's hands immediately shot to her face and tears welled up in her eyes as she fought to hold back a squeal.
As soon as he started talking, Elisabetta started crying. She couldn't help it. It was too...too amazing! Her longest tentacle pulled back in shock, while the smaller one just sat there, frozen in the cold.
"Yes, Vincent, yes!"
Without waiting for him to put the ring on her finger, Elisabetta literally jumped into his arms, threw her arms around his neck, and smashed her lips against his. She didn't care if they both ended up on the cold, wet ground. What did it matter, when she had a fiance?

Vincent was in shock; though he quickly recovered and wrapped his arms around his fiancee. He returned her kiss with just as much vigor. He only pulled away to carefully take her hand and slip the ring onto her finger.
Yes, this had definitely been worth it. He wiped a tear from her cheek, renewing his hold on her. "Now how about that walk?" he whispered into her ear before kissing her cheek. "Or we could sit down," he added, glancing over her shoulder at a bench. He put a hand to her cheek and kissed her again.

As soon as the ring was on her finger, Elisabetta squeeled and kissed Vincent again. "I cannot wait to become Mrs. Sadril, so I can show you how much I love you every day for the rest of my life." And she meant it with every fiber of her soul.
She laughed lightly, and wiped her eyes on the back of her coat sleeve. "I think we should sit for a while. I don't know if I can walk right now."

Vincent returned her kiss with no hesitation. "Let's have the wedding soon then," he said, before leading her over to the bench. "Is Spring good?" he asked. "When all the flowers start coming out," he leaned in to whisper, "because I don't think I can wait much longer than that, Mrs. Sadril."
He wiped the bench off and dried it with his jacket sleeve and sat down, pulling Lissy into his lap. "So you don't get cold," he lied, kissing her cheek.

Elisabetta sighed and leaned against Vinny as they walked. "Spring sounds great. We can have lilies for...remembrance." She smiled, swiping at her eyes again. Ever since her mother died, she tried to incorporate lilies into everything and a wedding with them was a beautiful dream.
She slid her legs up onto the bench and snuggled into her fiancee, trailing one arm around his shoulders as she kissed him again. Now that she'd started, she couldn't stop. "My grandma is going to croak," she laughed.

"Lilies are beautiful," Vincent agreed, giving Lissy a gentle squeeze. "White ones?" he asked. He'd always liked lilies. They were a sign of life and of-- he kissed her cheek. "I'm sure your mother will be with us on our wedding day," he said. "She's watching out for you. She must be, how else would you have turned out so wonderfully?"
If they had been standing, Vincent might have gone weak at the knees. How he wanted--no, this was neither the place nor the time. "Like a frog?" he mumbled. "Maybe we should tell her beforehand, then?"
