Welcome to Gaia! ::

Was it time?

Prosper hummed and curled closer around Gemini. They were married now. Married to the own man who tried to burglarize his home and cried about he wasn't trying to steal. Looking back on it, he felt kind of bad. He should have trusted Gemini's word more. Should have realized that his emotions were true. But..if it weren't for his distrust, they wouldn't be here, would they?

Prosper kissed the geist's neck gently. He wouldn't have gotten better either.

But was he ready for kids?

That was the real question. It wasn't like a familiar that they could give away when it got too difficult. It was for life. Life. The thought alone was intimidating. What if they weren't great parents? What if the kids grew to hate them?

He wouldn't be able to live with it.

But there was something missing in their life. Promise had moved out. There were now two free rooms that his kids could have. And ever since his younger brother moved something felt...off. Different.

They needed something. He needed something to fuss over at least.

He sighed, nuzzling his lover's neck. "Gem, what do you think about getting some stones?" his body tensed at the word. Stones. . That was such a commitment

Gemini was having a very nice dream. And was feeling quite comfortable, as he usually was when being held by Prosper. He hummed at the gentle kiss, curling more and scooting back into Prosper. He was having a great dream, really.

The geist was ready to doze back off, safe and comfortable in his husband's arms... but sleep was again put off as the grimm hybrid spoke. "Mmm?" he mumbled into the pillow, not registering what was said. "Sure," he yawned, nuzzling into the pillow before twisting around so he could bury his face in Prosper's chest.

It took a few seconds before the meaning of the words hit him. And he froze, unsure how to react. Did... Prosper seriously ask about stones?

Keeping his face buried to prevent the tears from showing, he swallowed heavily. Damn it, he had just woken up, why was he crying already? "You... want to start a family with me?" he whispered thickly.

This wasn't the best time to talk. Obviously. Gemini was dead asleep. Should he wake him up to ask? It wasn't like he had work, and they had been sleeping for quite a while....but...Prosper's nose brushed against Gemini's neck. He needed to know. Wanted to make plans, arrangements. Prosper needed to do something . He was already stir crazy. At least preparations would keep him a bit busy.

But Gemini wasn't about to wake up. Frustrating, yes. Yet, it was also endearing. He gave another sigh and ran his fingers through those blonde locks, easily letting him turn around into him. Gem heard him? Prosper raised a brow, his lips twitching upwards in amusement. So he was at least half awake.

...Or maybe he was fully awake. Prosper couldn't tell which. What he did know, is that Gemini was aware of what he said. "I married you didn't I?" It wasn't like he was planning or expecting to divorce the male in his entire life. When he mated, he mated for life. Prosper couldn't bare living without Gemini. "I do." The question was, was Gemini ready for a family? "But it doesn't have to be now." He could wait.

He needed to dry his eyes. But how was he going to do it without Prosper noticing? His husband knew his tells, was very used to his crying. That didn't mean Gemini wanted him knowing, however. He was supposed to be getting better with his tears.

"I want to have a family with you. Very soon. I-It doesn't have to be now. We could go shopping, though? For the stuff?" he said hopefully against his chest, trying to subtly rub his eyes dry.

Oh but his heart was swelling with love. He wanted to be with Prosper, to have a family with him, to have his happy ever after. It was too good to be true. The thought occurred to him that he could be dreaming and his stomach sunk as he leaned back, reddened eyes searching his, trying to find signs of a dream.

Prosper smoothed his hand over Gemini's back before he started rubbing soothing circles. Stuttering. He didn't know if the geist was crying but it didn't hurt to assume. It was a big question, a big decision. If it were the other way around, he would have been taken by surprise. Gem must be freaking out. "Relax. "

Pink met blue, making the hybrid crack a fond smile. Gemini wasn't going to relax. Those tear trails meant one thing---Gemini was feeling something strong. Happiness, he hoped. Prosper leaned his head downward, the hand that was rubbing the male's back coming up to cup Gemini's chin. "We'll go shopping whenever you're ready." Dieties, he couldn't resist himself. Prosper leaned down, his lips brushing against the corners of each of his eyes before dipping lower, catching the man's lips. Prosper couldn't bare to move his head further than an inch. Love was ridiculous. "Stones are a big change."

He had just stopped the tears. Just got them under control. But the dang grimm hybrid had to be tender and loving and he felt the tears swell back up, feeling the warmth spread through him at the soft kisses. "A good change," he whispered back. Freshlings that looked like his husband. Just the thought caught his throat and heart beating in excitement. He wanted to tie himself even more firmly with this man.

"Can we go today? At least to go look," he tried nervously, hand curling on Prosper as he stared up at him with his watery eyes. "I promise I won't... do the sticky fingers," he said several octaves lower.

A content hum left Prosper's lips. How did Gem make him feel so---so light. He might have been part geist but that was different. Being with Gemini felt like he was hovering, as if he'd float off if the comforter that was on him were to fall off. "A great change." his lips brushed across his husband's temple. "My brother's room has been empty for too long." It was depressing.

Go today? Prosper's smile grew. "After we get dressed and ready for the day, yeah. I can make that happen." He rolled his eyes, fingers lightly tweaking the male's nose. Promise. There was no such thing besides his brother. But he was too giddy to argue. "We'll buy it if you do." It wasn't like they had anything for stones right now.

There was plenty to buy. Gem's kleptomania couldn't even get to him right now.

Gemini sat up, now ready to start the day. To shop. To begin a family life with Prosper. "We'll have to find stones," he told him with a bit of a smile, leaning down to give a soft kiss. "Let's get dress. I-I want to go look now," he added.

Prosper was really too good for him. Buying things that he was tempted to steal. It was too much and soon, Gemini was grinning through teary eyes. "Are we meditating this morning, first?" he asked, impatience leaking into him. He really wanted to get to the stores immediately, despite the earliness of the morning.

A light laugh fell from Prosper's lips. Gemini was so eager so early in the morning. It was unusual. He was used to being the morning person, not Gem. "Yeah, we will. That can wait, we should probably have their room ready first, " the hybrid hummed, tilting his head further into the kiss. Usually he wasn't one to want to linger in bed and laze. Yet right now, the urge to wrap an arm around his lover and pull him into his side, take a few more moments to cuddle was strong. His fingers flexed at the idea. Gem was too tempting.

Instead, he patted Gem's side. "We'll go today. We have plenty of time." No way he was going to get a video out today. Or record. There was still a chance that stones wouldn't work out. "Meditating first?" He shook his head, sitting up in bed. "Not on an empty stomach. Get dressed, I'll go start breakfast. Stores won't be open for another two hours anyway." Thank the deities. Prosper still had the baby store list from when they first met.

Gemini had an urge. And he gave into that urge. With a large grin, he lunged forward, head colliding into Prosper's chest as he wrapped his arms around him, hugging his husband and breathing in his scent. "Best way to wake up," he mumbled blissfully before letting go and moving off the bed to get dressed.

Oh he couldn't wait to go to the stores. He was excited to decorate Promise's old room. Surely, they could paint it over? To make it more bright and cheerful? He would have to talk to Prosper about that. With a light step and tendrils vibrating happily, he moved to the closet to pick out pocketless clothes. Nothing would ruin today!
