"Of course there is more. You think a fancy dinner was going to satisfied my need to spoil you?" He laughed and wrapped his arm around Desmond, holding him close and kissing his head. "You're definitely in for a treat tonight. Something you would have never expected." He didn't want Desmond walking too far, so he was rather happy with his choice in restaurant, it was right by the park he wanted to do this in "Alright." He walked Desmond over to a bench and sat down beside him. It was a rather cute little park, though it had a water fountain center -during the summer, kids often played in that water, but tonight it was just spouting happily and in a multitude of colors.
Ocean took a deep and steadying breath as he released Desmond, staring into the water spouts as if they held the key to what he wanted to say next - well, they kind of did - "I never thought that I could be any happier than I am, right now, in this moment. Six months ago, I was lost, I was shy, and I avoided a lot of people. My skills in social interaction were bare minimum, but then I saw you. I saw you and I watched the way you so easily manipulated lunch from that asshole, the last good meal... I wanted to be like you. I wanted to learn from you, maybe gain some sort of confidence I never had." He took a breath and continued focusing on those water spouts. They were slowly manipulating and changing form as they spouted out "You gave me way more than confidence, when I came up and spoke to you that day. You gave me a renewed hope that I didn't have to be this weakling I saw myself as. You gave me something that no one had ever given me before; real love, compassion, confidence, understanding, attention."
He slid off of the bench and down onto his knee in front of Desmond, in his hand was a small velvet box, inside a simple silver band with a 1k diamond in the center. The water was dancing happily behind Ocean, Will You Marry Me? levitating in a multitude of colors "I still have a lot to learn from you, Desmond Coyote... So, will you do me the greatest honors of marrying me? Continue teaching me all of the valuable skills that you can teach me?"
