"F-fast… You motherfucker" Celestia growled again, her grip tightening, eyes blazing as if she'd devour him if he made her wait a second longer.
"Wi-will… yo-you be my… g-girlfriend, Celestia?" The words tumbled out, clumsy, stumbling, as if his heart was tripping over itself.
"No! You fucking idiot!" Celestia barked, twisting his collar so hard it nearly choked him. Lucian's eyes widened, fear flickering had he just been rejected?
But before he could even breathe, her voice crashed over him.
"Marry!" She spoke the word with fire in her voice. Like it wasn't a question. Like it was a command her eyes gleaming with killing intent, her grip rough enough to make him lean forward, their faces now close enough that their breaths mingled.
"W-what?!" Lucian gasped, eyes wide in shock, heart hammering like a drum.
Meanwhile
Avey… broke.
Tears fell silently down her face.
She didn't scream. Didn't cry loudly.
She just stood there. Staring.
