"You're proposing to him?"

Roman nodded excitedly, "yes! On the first day of Soulmate Week!"

"And you have a ring?" I asked.

He dug his hand in his pocket and fished out a silver ring inlaid with black diamonds with a large black diamond in the center and two amethysts on either side.

"Wow, Roman that's... gorgeous." I told him.

"I know!" He exclaimed, "But I need your help."

I sighed, "Of course... What do you need?"

"I need you to keep Virgil distracted while I set up." Roman said, grinning.

"Okay. What it the best way to keep him occupied?" I asked.

Roman smirked, "Have you seen Don't Hug Me I'm Scared?"

I shook my head, "No, I don't think I have."

Roman chuckled, "okay, there's six episodes that are almost all musical. It takes about half an hour to watch them all... that should be enough time."

I nodded, "so I'll just watch this series with Virgil so you can set up your proposal, got it."

"Thank you so much Logan!" Roman pulled me into a quick hug.

I chuckled and awkwardly patted his back, "You're welcome..."

"So have you ever thought about proposing to Patton?" Roman asked.

I frowned, "There hasn't exactly been a good time recently."

Roman physically cringed, "right... sorry."

"No, it's fine." I reassured him, "I understand, you're excited."

"But-" Roman started.

I gave him a small smile, "I'm okay. I promise."

Roman nodded and smiled lightly back. We stood in the late-night silence that surrounded the kitchen. The kids had long since gone to bed, and Virgil fell asleep on the couch soon after, so it was just me and Roman awake.

I thought back to what he had said. Truth be told, I have thought about proposing to Patton. The suit I'd wear. The flowers. The ring...

"It would be a braided band, silver, but with one strand that would be gold, and single, heart shaped diamond." The words tumbled out of my mouth before I could stop them.

Roman looked at me, confused, "what?"

"The ring I would propose to him with... nevermind it's ridiculous, right?" I shook my head, "completely ridiculous."

"No no! I think it's wonderful!" Roman grinned.

"Of course you would think it's wonderful, you're the romantic." I told him.

Roman's smile softened, "Patton will think it's wonderful."

"You think so?" I asked.

Roman nodded, "I know so."

"Thanks Roman," I said, "You're a good friend."

"As are you, Microsoft-"

"Don't." I interrupted.

There was a moment of pause. Then we laughed.

"Alright," Roman said, "I'm going to take my little cloud of gloom to bed. I have a feeling something big is going to happen soon."

"Of course." I said, "You're proposing."

Roman shook his head, "no, something bigger."

I quirked my head, "Bigger how?"

Roman shrugged, "don't know."

With a smile and that confusing statement, Roman left to go put his, hopefully, future fiance to bed.

I sighed and decided to sink down to check on Thomas. When I rose up in my usual spot, I smiled. Thomas was asleep on the couch, re-runs of Steven Universe playing on the tv. I shook my head fondly. Definitely not the best place to sleep, but I didn't want to wake him.

So, I picked up the dishes on the coffee table and put them in the sink. Then turned off the tv. Thomas stirred, but didn't wake up. I grabbed a blanket off the back of the couch and draped it over the sleeping host. I turned off the rest of the lights and sunk back into the Mindscape.

I rose up in my room and flopped on my bed. It was late and I was tired, but I couldn't sleep. I sighed. If things didn't go the way they had, would Patton and I be engaged by now? Who knows. Maybe we would...

Maybe...
