☆ 3rd Person POV ☆

Darcel gracefully draped down the soft black and yellow flannel-checkered blanket. Once he was satisfied, he placed the picnic basket upon the blanket. He sat in the middle of the blanket, gazing over the sky. The sun was still up, but it was going to set soon. Perfect for his plan.

Mellan was on his way, padding along the soft dirt path. Darcel had told him that he had a surprise for him. Mellan was curious to see it for himself.

It wasn't long before Mellan found Darcel, who was still on the blanket.
" A picnic? ", Mellan asked, observing the food basket with his dark purple eyes.
" Yeah, I'd thought you would enjoy it. Please come sit with me. ", Darcel answered, smiling and with a happy flick of his dark tail.
" Alright. ", Mellan agreed with a small chuckle as he sat down next to his boyfriend.

" Would you like to eat now? ", Darcel asked, wisping his dark paw towards the basket.
A low growl rippled through the Jolteon's stomach. Guess it was a sign.
" Listening to my body, it would be for the best that we start eating now. ", Mellan stated, nodding.
" Good choice. ", Darcel giggled, opening the basket and shoving his paw inside.

A couple of seconds go by and Darcel pulls out a sweet sandwich of chocolate and marshmallow, handing it to Mellan.
" Ooo! I love these! ", Mellan expressed, quickly grabbing it with his paws from Darcel.
" I know you do. ", Darcel stated, kindly.
" Thank you! ", Mellan thanked, muffled by the chunks of sandwich in his jaws.

After they were done eating, Darcel and Mellan were looking at the sunset, Darcel's dark tail wrapped lightly around Mellan's yellow flank. All the colors of the rainbow filled their vision. It was a calm moment in time. Frozen in such a beautiful moment.

" Mellan. ", Darcel addressed, braking the silence.
" Yes? ", Mellan questioned, looking over and tilting his head to the side.
" This actually reminds me of our first date, through the park. Do you remember that? ", Darcel admitted.
" Yeah, I remember being so skittish then. ", Mellan chuckled, cringing a bit at the past.

~ Flashback ~

Darcel had asked Mellan out for a nice walk in the park. The two have only been dating for about a month now in this point of time. Mellan was still healing from his past experience, still thinking about what could go wrong in his mind.

" Are you ready to go? ", Darcel asked, respectfully peeking into Mellan's room.
Mellan jumped a bit, flicking his head towards Darcel, but calming down seeing it was only his boyfriend. Mellan gave himself one last look in the mirror before deciding on his words.
" Yeah, let's go. ", Mellan stated, nodding and padding over to his door, towards Darcel.

It was a short walk to the park, Darcel's town was calm and small anyways. There were only a couple of pokémon roaming the streets at this time. Most were in shops and the main marketplace, shopping and working. Calming bustling about as they would normally do every day.

No one was in the park, fortunately. Mellan wouldn't have to glance over and worry. Even if that did happen, Darcel was always by his side to comfort him.

Darcel took a deep breath, inhaling the fresh oxygen from the various healthy green trees.
" I love this park. Don't you? ", Darcel asked.
" It certainly is peaceful. ", Mellan remarked, admitting to put a smile upon his lips.

" Is there something wrong? ", Darcel asked, with genuine concern.
" No... this is just something I haven't done in a long time. ", Mellan admitted.
" I understand. But try your best to stay in the present. ", Darcel suggested, with a kind smile on his face.
Mellan let out a small chuckle, a real smile forming.
" I'll try my best, shining star. ", He agreed, feeling his heart skip a beat.

~ Present ~

" You've grown so much since then. I'm so proud that you have gotten as far as you have so far. I heavily admire you, Mellan. And not just for that reason, there is so many reasons I do, but I will be here for hours if I mention everything. ", Darcel admitted.
" You really think so? ", Mellan asked, a blush resting upon his yellow cheeks.
" I know so. ", Darcel stated, confidently with a small and swift chuckle.

After moments of silence, Darcel began to feel fidgety. He felt his plan deep in his side.
' Perhaps, it is time. ', He believed, looking over at his boyfriend.

" Mellan? ", Darcel asked, feeling his heart quickly flutter.
" Yeah? ", Mellan answered, flicking his spiky yellow ears and putting his full attention to Darcel.
" I've wanted tell you this for so long. ", Darcel started.

" As long as growing, you've brightened up so much. You are the spark and light of my life, Mellan. I've been so much happier since you've appeared at my doorstep. You're the most kind and compassionate pokémon I've ever known. I would fall in love with you, over and over again. No objections to that. So, anyways, what I was saying was... ", Darcel trailed off, grabbing a small box.
Seeing what it was Mellan gave out a small gasp. Carefully, Darcel revealed what was inside. A golden diamond ring.
" Will you marry me? ", Darcel proposed.
" Of course, I will! ", Mellan expressed, his dark purple eyes draining down happy tears.

Quickly, they shared a sweet embrace containing kisses and cuddles.
