Atlantis The Lost Empire Imagines

Confessions

Milo:
. It was right before the events of the movie, that he confessed his love to you. You were on a picnic in the nearby park together, on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. The two of you were lying on the blanket, staring up at the sky to find shapes and figures in the clouds. You'd found Abraham Lincoln, a tiger, and the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and he'd found a flower, a person playing the piano, and a large pirate ship. Laughing and joking, he didn't even realize that the two of you were holding hands. His heart caught in his throat, and he blushed madly. When you asked what was wrong, he began to speak in gibberish. Then suddenly, he blurted out:
" Y/N, I-I love you! " he covered his mouth, absolutely horrified with himself. He prepared for the worst, expecting you to be angry. You'd get up and ditch him, and never want to see him again. Or, you'd reject him on the spot in public. He was so afraid, though he didn't say it. Instead, he was shocked when you kissed him. You told him that you loved him all along, and that you'd been waiting a long time for him to confess. He was so happy, that he could have cried. He did, a little bit. Holding you in his arms, his whole world became complete. Finally, you were his.

Rourke:
. He confessed to you in private, at the fanciest restaurant in town. He wanted it to be perfect, and had been preparing for months beforehand. So, he got dressed up, practiced his confession, and tried to act like a gentleman. You had just ordered your drinks, and he had raised his glass in what seemed to be a toast to you. You went along, confused at what he was doing. Then, he admitted his feelings in an eloquent speech:
" Y/N, I have something to confess to you. From the moment I saw you, I knew that you had to be mine. My heart is dead set on you, and I could never love another woman the way I love you. You are wonderful, beautiful, and my perfect match. Please, be mine from now on. "
You didn't reply at first, processing what he had just said. His arm was still raised, but he looked nervous and eager to hear your response. A few minutes passed, and he was becoming worried. Did you not return his feelings? Was this all in vain? Why, oh why, did he have to trust somebody with his heart again? But to his surprise, you smiled and clinked your glass against his. After taking a sip from your wine, you put it down and leaned forward. Before he knew it, your lips were pressed against his in a loving kiss. All he could do, was kiss back and let himself become swept away in the moment.

Helga:
. It was after you had gotten into a nasty car crash, and were rushed to the hospital, that she professed her love for you. Sitting by your bedside, she assumed that you were asleep. She cried into her hands, completely breaking down. She rambled on about how much she loved you, how she couldn't go on without you, and that she would never love again. Little did she know, that you heard every single word you said. So, she was surprised when you sat up in bed and took her hand. Before she could utter an apology or make up an excuse, you pulled her close, and said:
" I love you too, Helga. I always have. So what are we waiting for? Let's get together. " you wiped away her tears, and kissed her without any hesitation. Never before, had she been so happy.

Sweet:
. It was by complete accident that he confessed. He was having dinner with Vinny, Mole, Rourke, Helga, and Audrey at a reunion party he had hosted to get the gang back together years after the Iceland expedition. Everything was going extremely well, and he was quite enjoying himself. Things didn't begin to go sideways until Rourke asked about you to Sweet. He was absolutely gushing, delighted that he had been given the chance to talk about you. After awhile of ranting on about you and your friendship, Audrey and Vinny poked fun at the doctor by making a joke that you two were together. It was at that moment, that you strode into the room of the military base. He admitted to his friends that he loved you, without knowing you were standing behind him. You'd come to return a textbook he had borrowed you, having no idea that he was busy. But the giggles of Audrey, Mole, and Vinny made Sweet turn around to look directly at you. His heart stopped in his chest, and he rose to his feet swiftly.
" Y/N! What are you doing here? " he questioned you awkwardly, shifting. You handed him the book, but then strode up to him. Hugging him, you mumbled into his chest:
" I love you too, Joshua, and I'm yours. Have fun with your friends, I'll see you tomorrow. " with that, you turned and walked out of the room.

Vinny:
. He had just gotten out of prison, when he admitted his love for you. The two of you were strolling in the streets of Istanbul, admiring the architecture of the buildings as you went. Engrossed in your conversation, he hadn't realized that the two of you had drifted into a bustling marketplace until the potent aroma of spices filled his nostrils. He glanced around, and his line of vision fell onto a stall selling a wide variety of flowers. He recognized every single kind, all too familiar with them. But when he saw a pot filled with freshly pruned roses, you immediately entered his mind. You loved roses, he remembered. So, he dragged you to the stand, and picked out a big bouquet of them before you could protest. Paying, he swiftly handed you the flowers, saying:
" Lovely flowers, for a lovely woman. " you'd blushed, but gladly accepted the bouquet. Thanking him, he waved his hand dismissively.
" Oh, it's no trouble at all, Y/N. After all, I love you, and you're the of my dreams—! " suddenly, he stopped, realizing what he had just said. His eyes went wide, and he clenched his hands into fists. What had happened? How could he have been so distracted by his feelings, that he'd let them slip out? Nonetheless, when you still were getting over your ex! What had he been thinking? When he stared at you, there was a serious expression on your face. He swallowed, unsure of what you would do. To his intense surprise, you nodded gently. Your hands pressed against his chest, and you hugged him.
" You really love me? Though I've been married and divorced? " he nodded, replying:
" Why would I not? You're the only woman who's ever accepted me for who I am, without any conditions. Your love is a treasure, that I won't pass up on. " then, you smiled. Standing on tiptoe, you locked lips with him. He didn't hesitate, relieved to finally have you as his.

Mole:
. He'd tried to confess to you several times, but he'd never been able to word it properly. Until, you were going to take trip to Paris, to see him. He was overjoyed, totally excited to see you again. It had been a few months since you'd last visited, and the two of you had missed each other dreadfully. You wanted to go hiking to an abandoned mine outside of the city, to do research for your final thesis paper. Of course, he didn't protest. After getting settled in at his rather disorderly and messy apartment, you two had set out for the mine. But little did you know, that he had changed the route on the map. As you two hiked, you updated him on everything that had happened to you in the past few months. He listened intently, while making sure that you two were still following the correct paths. About half an hour later, you seemed to arrive at what appeared to be the mine. But while you two were descending down the shaft, it became increasingly clear that you were not in the right place. Despite the fact that you repeated this to Mole, he didn't seem to care—wanting to press on further. And soon, you knew why. Gasping in utter amazement, you gazed at the cavern of glittering crystals below. Leading you further across the ledge, Mole said nothing. He sat you down by a beautiful formation of the shimmering rocks, standing in front of you. When you asked what was wrong, he shushed you softly. He had something to tell you.
" Mon cheri, I have been meaning to admit something to you. I was not able to put it the way I wanted to, until now. Seeing you next to these crystals, has made me realize how stunning you are. They can not compare with your beauty, nothing can. You are rarer than any crystal, jewel, and mineral in the world... I suppose what I'm trying to say, is that I love you, Y/N. More than anything and anyone. You are the love of my life, and I will die if I have to live any longer without you, darling. Would you be my lover? " squealing, you threw yourself into his arms. You had loved him as well, but didn't think that he had returned your feelings. But at hearing his confession, your whole world had changed. Before you kissed him, you spoke to him.
" Of course, Gaetan. I love you too. Now, hold me. "
