the proposal
matli/volo, word count: 370. pure fluff :3
it's a quiet morning. both matli and volo had risen only an hour previously, but mornings came easily to the duo. volo sits cross legged in front of matli, who is weaving flowers into his devotee's hair.
matli hums an old song, one he had long forgotten the words for but could never forget the melody, as his fingers twist and plait through volo's long, silken locks.
volo is silent, eyes closed and deep in bliss at the sensation of nails scratching at his scalp, when his god stops humming to speak.
"my love," matli begins, "my disciple. we have lived in domestic comfort for so long. you have laid your darkest secrets at my altar, and i have come undone at your prayers. i know you, i see you, i honor you- and i must ask you a question."
volo twists around to look at matli's face. the grey haired god looks down, a light blush dusting his cheekbones. he raises a hand and caresses matli's cheek, the smaller man leaning into the touch.
"of course, matli. ask me anything."
"i… i know our bond is stronger than anyone can ever put words to. i know that our souls are intertwined. so… even if you say no, i am comforted by these truths."
volo simply tilts his head.
"volo… will you do me the honor of not only being my priest, of being my warrior of hisui, of being my sun and stars, but also… being my husband?"
both of them sit in silence, matli's eyes closed and eyebrows furrowed, as if bracing himself to hear a refusal. the silence stretches onwards, thicker than the stickiest combee honey, and in anxiety matli speaks again.
"i'm sorry. it was a stupid question- i shouldn't have even asked-"
matli is stopped mid-sentence by volo kissing him. the blond man peppers kisses all over his god's face, laughing with joy.
"yes, yes, yes! a thousand, a million times yes! nothing would make me happier!"
he kisses the tears that run down matli's cheeks, kisses the dimples in his smile, runs his hands through his grey hair and touches, touches, touches all over, as if to drink in every sensation of this moment.

w/ deepsea i want a more feminine and overall oceanic design for during the main series, but i want a more masculine and worldly look for his timeskip design. he and simon spend a while apart because simon feels guilty about the whole "we only became friends because i kidnapped you and was your first introduction to ooo" but ds... doesnt care? he never viewed ice king as an inherent threat and he *loves* simon and simon's knowledge of a past world is fascinating-
theyre talking sorta by the time f&c happens but its tense, and during the entire course of season one ds is back in the abyssal kingdom. idk i have some scenes and fics i wanna write
