[You know?

That weird temple wasn't good, but it wasn't the worst. Not by far now that he's back in this dimension. He floats a bit aimlessly, body broken, shell cracked and falling apart, some bones and insides shattered. His head aches in a way that he can't think.

All he can really do is hope Prime doesn't find him immediately right now. The light off his ring catches his eye and he looks at it, not fully registering that it's lit up.

A promise.]

You don't gotta tell me specifics, but how long is this list?

[pyrighteous]

Oh! It's just about twenty steps.

[neonleon]

That's so many steps. You're really gonna twenty step plan me?

[YOU CARE THAT MUCH???]

[pyrighteous]

W-well - yes? I-is that okay? I can add more! Thirty steps!

[neonleon]

You do however many steps you want. I won't tell you what to do.

[pyrighteous]

O-okay! That's - good! Anyway!!

It'll take a while but it will be VERY traditional.

[neonleon]

If that's what you wanna do, I'm down.

[Realizing suddenly he has NO idea how earth courting works. Is that even a thing? Different cultures have stuff going on, which one should he use? American? Japanese? Should he ask his dad? UGGHGHHHHHHH.]

[pyrighteous]

I really want to. Yeah. It'll be fun, I hope.

[neonleon]

[He loves this witch so much. Just wants him to be happy, and it sounds like doing this tradition will make him happy so who is Leo to say no? He leans a little more to kiss his cheek.]

Sure it will be. Gotta be if it's you.

[pyrighteous]

[ Hunter beams and leans in. ]

Uh - well - I mean I used to be a lot LESS fun but -

[neonleon]

Yyyyeah, but you were plenty fun when I met you.

[pyrighteous]

... I was?

[neonleon]

Yeah? I was hanging out with you, I wouldn't have if you weren't fun.

[pyrighteous]

Well - yeah but - I was really not fun in the temple at first.

[neonleon]

Mmkay well I missed that Hunter, but I like the Hunter I met.

[pyrighteous]

[ Hunter pinks at that. ]

I - I like the Leo I met too.

[neonleon]

Cool because it's the only Leo you got.

[pyrighteous]

It's the only Leo I want?

[neonleon]

[His turn for his face to heat up.]

Great. Cause. 'Cause I wouldn't have it any other way.

[pyrighteous]

[ Hunter laughs and tucks his head under Leo's chin again. ]

Good. Um - let's keep it that way.

[neonleon]

[He smiles a little, settling with Hunter like that against him. He runs fingers through Hunter's hair; it's clear Leo is comfortable.]

We will. Long as you let me.

[pyrighteous]

I can't picture myself NOT letting you.

[ Hunter desperately needs a haircut, but his hair is soft and nice. ]

[neonleon]

[Does he though??? He can't run his fingers through it if it's cut.]

Cool. I just...

[The more he thinks about what happened and what Hunter did, the more he's realizing his heart loves this witch grimwalker.]

I wanna make sure you're happy too.

[pyrighteous]

But - I am happy. The happiest I’ve ever been.

[neonleon]

And I'll make sure it stays that way. Every day happier than the last, all right?

[But he yawns big and comfortable, sort of settling around Hunter like this.]
