•It would kill him for weeks and weeks to not simply pull you in a hug and ask you those four magic words, but no, it has to special, he has to make some big deal put of it. Or, that’s at least what the guy has been told.
•Before Ferid even mentioned that a proposal has to be a quote on quote “big deal,” Lacus was simply planning on taking a stroll round the block and asking you when he built up enough courage. Or, ya know, right when you two walk out the door because he couldn’t fucking wait.
•His impatience would be his end as immediately after he found out about this new discovery, or in this case tricked into thinking Ferid’s opinion mattered, he phoned up Rene for a pair of extra hands to help him set up whatever the hell he would be putting together.
•All the while Lacus still has no idea on how to go about this, no ring, and not to mention you’d be back in roughly two hours.
•When Rene knocked on the door after what felt like an eternity to the eggplant Lacus immediately pulled his friend inside, only to start panicking about how he has no clue what to do. Cue, sensible Rene staying quiet as he flipped through Pinterest for ideas. (Yes, Rene has a Pintrest. Fight me on this.)
•Raising his hand Lacus shut up to let his friend talk, still fuming inside his mind as if a hurricane had come, passed, and came back again. Sharing his findings the two decide on what to do with the limited supplies they have to work with.
•That being jars of all shapes and sizes, junk food, stuffies, candles, and not to mention icecream. Yup, that will work for sure.
•Splitting up their duties Rene took the balcony and his dashboard to use, leaving the end result to both Lacus and you a surprise. After all, it was the spot the eggplant decided would be best to propose with this new plan. Meaning he sure as hell would not be in charge if it was to be left in tact.
•With the supplies around the house Lacus gathered all the blankets to the living room, shifting the furniture about until he was efficiently satisfied with the layout he had to work with.
•Starting on the fort Lacus layered the pillows over the carpet flooring so much so you never would have guessed there was any empty ground left to claim, which was essentially true as soon after the apartment was streamed over with blankets and sheets of all colors. Slightly hurting anyones eyes if they weren’t expecting the sight (who thought it was a good idea to let Lacus buy neon cat covered blankets?)
•It was as if a cavern was built in the mess, full of plushies and jars filled to the brim with candies. Lit by fairy lights as the only other source of light was the dim splitting past the curtains of the glass door leading to the balcony.
•It was only when our eggplant picked up his phone when he noticed the text you sent him saying you would be later then expected. This of course only caused Lacus to irritatedly fall into a pillow and scream. The first plan might have been better.
•It wasn’t until later when Lacus heard the front door opening did he notice how he stupidly fell asleep. Assuming Rene had already left eggplant crawled through the tunnel of sheets till he reached a pair of feet attached to a rather perplexed looking you.
•Pulling you in a rather drowsy Lacus wasted no more time and pushed you through the tunnel till you were bsck out of the house, only this time standing on the balcony.
•Candles painted over the railings as wax dripped down on the conrete below…..might not have been such a good idea to fall asleep. Bless be lady lack for the house not going up in flames.
•Still the fire lit up your eyes as you cheerfully looked over at eggplant, a cheeky smile painting your face as you guessed at what would happen next.
•Taking your hand Lacus pulled you into a tight hug, without warning might I add. (Nearly gave ya a heart attack that eggplant did.)
•"I’ve waited too long now to bother with that long speech.“ Nodding to himself Lacus promised himself he would make up for it in his vows, if you said yes that is. “Y/n, will you marry me?”
•"Of course you idiot. You really didn’t have to go through all this trouble though…. I like it simple you know.“ Staring blanky at you Lacus cursed Ferid with all his might as you simply giggled in his arms, already knowing why eggplant bothered with such a display.
•Wrinkling your nose at the overwhelming variety of smells you bury your face further into Lacus’ chest. “I love ya and all, and trust me I love what you did here. But candles were a bad idea.”
I have a headcanon that Lacus has actually heard about Yuu. But not directly from Mika. He just heard bits from Ferid’s conversation’s w/ Mika but usually he’s described as “angel” or “princess” and then thought to himself “oh Yuu-chan’s probably Mika’s childhood sweetheart how cute who knew Mika had a girlfriend” and at chapter 11 he finally saw Yuu in the flesh and he’s all
