Right Hand Man (King Dice x Devil)

Chapter 34 : Will You Be Mine?

King Dice's POV

They all knew what Mike did for us. So, in his honor, we placed his body on a boat with flowers and candles, and sent it to sea. It's all we could do for him now.
Inkwell was still slowly getting back on its feet. Everyone, seemed to be a bit sluggish after what happened. Then, it steadily went back to normal. Or...as normal as it was gonna get.

Things were about to change.

For the better.

The casino was being rebuilt, and this time, by professionals. The Devil and I watched the constructors rebuild our home.
This was my chance.
I turned away from Dev, who was distracted with other things. From my coat pocket, I pulled out a small box with a gold ring in it. I bought it for him so I could propose.
I fumbled with it, my face blushing purple.
This is it. I'm gonna ask him. It doesn't need to be romantic-well, I'd prefer it-but it doesn't have to be. I'm really doing this.
I turned around, hiding the ring behind my back. I cleared my throat,"D-Dev?"
He turned around, holding his hands behind his back. His face was red, and when he spoke his voice cracked,"D-Dice?"
We walked up to one another.
"Um, there's been uh-something that I've been meaning to ask you," I stammered.
"There-there is? Hey, me too..." Dev stuttered.
We both said nothing.
"Do you-do you wanna go first?" Dev asked me.
"No, no. You..." I answered.
"How about we do it at the same time?"
"O-Okay."
We both took a deep breath, and said in union, "Will you marry me? Wait-what?"
"You wanted to propose?" I exclaimed.
"I-I didn't know if you were going to or not. I just assumed you wanted me to propose to you..." The Devil grinned sheepishly, staring at his feet. "I even bought you a ring..."
"I bought you a ring!" I stated.
We both stared at each other.
Then, we both started laughing.
"Well, that was something!" I laughed.
"Who'd a thought, right?" The Devil laughed back.
Slowly, our laughter stopped. We went back to staring awkwardly at each other.
"So...um....what'd you say...?" The Devil shrugged. He got on one knee and said,"Will you marry me...?"
I blushed, smiling. Then, I got on one knee and said,"Only if you marry me."
The Devil smiled. Suddenly, he picked me up and twirled me around giggling. I laughed, and when he put me back down, I hugged him.
He placed his hands on my cheeks, and mine on his. We leaned in to kiss.
"Mug, did they kiss yet?"
"Cup! Quiet!"
We stopped.
I crossed my arms,"Boys. We know you're back there. Come out."
Mug and Cup poked out their heads from behind a rock. Mug grinned, nervously,"Sorry."
I looked to the Devil,"You asked them for help, didn't you?"
The Devil chuckled,"Yeah, I'm bad at this."
I put my hands on my hips,"We can't kiss while they're watching. They're kids!"
Cup groaned,"For the love of--kiss already!" Mug giggled at his brother.
The Devil smirked,"Well, you heard 'em."
Without warning, he pulled me in and kissed me on the lips. I kissed back, not caring who was watching. This was amazing.

We're getting married.
