He gently held onto her shoulders, emerald deep set eyes melting into her confused lime ones. Butch's smile practically was ripping his face as he couldn't help staring at his girl who was confusedly looking up to him with a faint flush. Strands of ink falling into her eyes from her bun as her pink lips ran some words that he didn't take in. She was beautiful, it was plain. Clad in his shirt and her shorts, it just suited her. Buttercup kept babbling to him as he smiled and smiled and smiled. He could grin all day long. Butch quietly nodded to every word, arms gently pulling her close to his chest, a quick blush spread on her face as she rested a hand on his chest.

"Are you okay? You're being so sweet." Buttercup murmured as she relaxed in his hold while he pushed her against the counter and looked down at her with a soft reserved look.

"You make me turn so sweet." Butch grumbled with a pout, her giggle catching his heart's interest. 

"Aw you sap. Is the Baron of Berserk going soft?" A light hit to his shoulder as Buttercup faked a gasp while cupping her mouth. "Butch! Tut tut tut."

"Baby flower, I ain't even kidding but you have that lure to you. You make me putty Buttercup Jojo-

Buttercup shifted in his arms, a small echo leaving her perfect lips. A hopeful questioning tone, "Jojo?..."

"I uh. Uhm." A blush spread on the top of his cheeks as he looked away embarrassedly. He let that slip out of his mouth too confidently. Puffing out his chest, he scoffed avoiding her teasing lime eyes. "Just a verbal typo babe."

"Verbal typo huh?"

"I...I just really like practicing your name with mine."

Silence fell. 

"Butch you're such a cutie oh my god." Buttercup grinned grabbing a cheek of his and lightly squeezing it, "Who knew you're so sweet?"

"No eww stop. You did not just call me cute." Butch held her shoulders firmly and tried to evilly glare into her apple eyes.

"I just did."

"I'm pure hotness."

"No.. you're just pure Butch."

Buttercup lightly scoffed under the dim kitchen light that illuminated her long lashes. Butch silently stared down at her, the light creating an angelic hue around her as her lime eyes lowered, still shimmering nonetheless. Butch's breathing slowed as Buttercup fiddled with one of the long strands of his hoodie, silently toying with it. The fine inky hair simply slipped across her face beautifully. Instinctively, his hand curled that lock behind her ear while his eyes were trained on her fine face. Her perfect eyebrows raising in question.

"Would you ever wanna be my wife in the future?"

Verdant eyes popped and widely looked up at him.

"I...sure." A small smile tinted across her face, which pleased Butch internally. "You can put a ring on it...yeah that's fine."

A content feeling erupted in Butch as he just couldn't stop. His chest felt like swelling in joy, watching his beautiful girlfriend simply breathing in front of him.

"Did I unintentionally propose to you?"

Buttercup chuckled, balling up a bit of his shirt and pulling his head down to kiss him. He carefully cupped the side of her smooth jaw as he accepted her gesture. It was funny how she always had to pull him down.

"Yeah.." She pulled away a bit out of breath, "You were speaking in the future tense, so I suppose you were planning it for later. Which..is kind of dumb since you're not meant to tell the girl that you want to propose to her."
