Today's the day.[break][break]

He holds in his pocket a small box.[break][break]

It's tiny. It's insignificantly so. But it's a lot of money inside. A tiny little aqua green jewel encrusted in it. It's cute, something he had spent weeks on. Maybe it's the mission at hand, but... Ash finds himself smiling at the box on their way to the Slateport Beach. He's hiding it away from Kep, because he knows his plan.[break][break]

Sunny day. Enjoying drinks on the beach, under a parasol. That was his plan. He had every intention of staying till sunset. He wanted to help him, but... man had enough on his plate.[break][break]

As they arrived, Ashley holding Kepler's hand, he gives his partner a smile. "I have a good feeling about today."[break][break]

Today was the day.



[break][break]

NOTES


- OUTFIT, IN HIS POCKET, MISSION[break]
- A small invitation to the beach, a trip for the couple to enjoy. Ash has a plan today.[break]
- Today's the day.

Summer and Kepler have never gone hand in hand. Not willingly. More like… knife in hand. Moving to Hoenn after growing up in Sinnoh-- blessed Sinnoh with its summer snows and seasons in full quaternary cycles-- had made that fact much more evident.
[break][break]
But after last summer, Splashfest, Mantine surfing, and surviving without developing malignant carcinoma of the dermis, he was dreading summer slightly less, now.
[break][break]
Still, he’s lathered up with that good SPF 100 because no matter how much he invites the sun in with open arms it will always hurt him. He’s got his little swimsuit on and his super cute cover-up and he’s feeling great because he’s here, with Ash, and neither of them is on the verge of dying, for the moment.
[break][break]
“Me, too,” he says, and he bumps his head against Ash’s bicep before setting about releasing his hooligans from their confines: Jupiter and Calirrhoe charge towards the surf, the Wartortle hoisting Titan above her head like she’s about to slam dunk him in the sea; Lysithea and Cloudstrike have elected to play volleyball using Euanthe as the ball, setting the Chinchou back and forth as she shrieks in glee.
[break][break]
“I never put much stock in relaxing on the beach before but this is nice. Good call, babe.”

Taking another breath, as he turns to the side in the cute swimsuit Kep has on, he can't help but grin ear-to-ear seeing as he bumps his head into Ash's bicep. So many of Kep's little water Pokemon are out. So was Ana the Pikachu, holding a small cooler and pulling it, with the help of Holy Diver the Buizel, and Kingsley the Krabby, who was busy snipping away and walking sideways with Laguna the Goomy on his back, the duo joining the surfers.[break][break]

While Maple the Glaceon just sits lazily under a parasol, and mews out to Cloudstrike and Lysithea, acting like a coach with his little sun hat.[break][break]

He takes a breathe. The Glaceon nearby just nods to him. Today was the day. Ashley took a deep breath. Ana the Pikachu gives him a nod and a thumbs up. Laguna, Holy Diver, and Kingsley, all eyes to Ash. They were preparing.[break][break]

"No kidding. It'll be nice to spend that time with you."[break][break]

Ashley had been busy. Quite busy, in fact. He had come here last night, and prepared something with the six Pokemon. Glaceon made something at see, frozen at the bottom of the area at a particular spot. Laguna and Kingsley were going to surf out to go get it. Ana, would deliver it.[break][break]

A message in a bottle. It was something he saw. Apparently, some lovers used wild goose chases for an eventual proposal. Ashley had something similar.[break][break]

He smirks as Laguna and Kingsley disappear under the waves.[break][break]

"Looks like Lysithea and Cloudstrike are having a good time." Misdirection. He had to fool his boyfriend, a smart boy. Kepler might figure it out too quickly if he didn't.[break][break]

Today was the day. It had to be perfect.



[break][break]

NOTES


- OUTFIT, IN HIS POCKET, MISSION[break]
- Ash has a plan. He's prepared for this. It's gonna be a really cute proposal.[break]
- Flirty, as Kingsley and Laguna disappear under the waves. Maple acts like a coach.

Kepler hums a note of agreement as he lays back on the long lounge chair and lets his body relax, watching his array of baby Water-types run and play in the sun while he, himself was shaded and protected. The sun out, Ash at his side, and no threat of war or danger lurking over the horizon-- yet.
[break][break]
Was this what perfection was?
[break][break]
Ash draws his attention to the trio of his Pokemon playing volleyball, and Kepler laughs. “Yeah. I was worried at first they’d hurt Euie but she seems to be enjoying it, too.” If the happy noises and waggling of her forehead nodes were any indications.
[break][break]
Callirhoe and Jupiter swim over to the Krabby and Goomy where they submerge beneath the waves, the turtles curious as to what they’re getting up to.

Kingsley and Laguna look to the Squirtle and the Wartortle, both of them holding now, what looks to be a bottle. There's some moved sand below, a little spot they had kept it hidden. Kingsley has the idea.[break][break]

With their pincer, they hand it to Callirhoe. The little bottle has just a single message in it, and it's too hard to read. The Krabby begins to make his way back to land, as Laguna does the same, rolling out. Leaving the Wartortle to do with the bottle what they will.[break][break]

A bottle with human words on it.[break][break]

"I would've been too, honestly. Look at them though." The happy squeaks and noises Euie made, all while Maple watched on, keeping the air cool.[break][break]

Maple gets up on all fours, shaking himself off, before making a very tiny blanket of snow to lay on on the beach.[break][break]

Ashley's waiting for the bottle to appear, but Kingsley appears from the ocean without it. Laguna too. What...? A slight bit of panic comes over him. Did the bottle go missing? But the moment Laguna winks, he immediately has a sigh of relief.[break][break]

A sigh Kep can hear right next to him.



[break][break]

NOTES


- OUTFIT, IN HIS POCKET, MISSION[break]
- Kingsley and Laguna get the bottle. Hand it to the Wartortle, and resurface.[break]
- Ash panics a small amount, but he's fine. He makes a very, VERY audible sigh of relief to Kep.

Callirhoe takes the bottle and squints at it, at the message inside of it. She turns it over in her stubby arms, confused. She looks at Jupes, who looks back, shrugs, and swims off, chasing Titan through the surf.
[break][break]
The Wartortle, now invested in this mystery, needs answers. She clambers back up the beach, twisting and turning the bottle in her hands as she struggles to puzzle it out.
[break][break]
Kepler hears Ash make a noise and his head lolls back, lazy, eyes brightening under dark sunglasses.
[break][break]
“You okay, babe?”
[break][break]
Callirhoe stomps up and holds the bottle out with an offended ’tortle, because she can’t figure it the fuck out.
[break][break]
Kepler squints at the object, now, in what would be a grand impression of his Wartortle, should the two of them have seen each other.
[break][break]
“Whatcha got there, Cal?”

Almost jolted awake, world almost asunder, he sees Callirhoe appear with the bottle, attempting to open it, as Ashley's face relaxes, and with Kepler's words, he damn near falls over as he turns his head. "Oh everything is great."[break][break]

Now he's grinning. Kingsley and Laguna did well, which meant that he could relax. Ana and Holy Diver would nod from a distance, with Maple doing the same. With Ash seeing that the Wartortle comes closer, the cork kept the message safe. Inside?[break][break]

A riddle. And it's one he knows Kepler can solve easily enough. The point is to have him enthused in the hunt, for just a moment.[break][break]

Almost showtime. His chest was going to pop.[break][break]

Inside the bottle...[break][break]

When rain's in the forecast and you don't want to get wet, grabbing me before you leave is the safest bet.[break][break]

It's obviously Ashley's handwriting. But will he ever admit that? Not a chance, no way, nuh-uh. He'll never say a word. Now, what was on the answer? A small, almost invisible folded-up slip of paper, taped to it so casually, so easily... the moment Kep found that, Ash would get up to stretch. He needed it to be perfect.[break][break]

Dpss fvb[break][break]

A puzzle.



[break][break]

NOTES


- OUTFIT, IN HIS POCKET, MISSION[break]
- Cal finds a bottle with a riddle in it. The riddle leads to something that is closeby...[break]
- A small piece of paper, with gibberish on it? Perhaps to decode... it's not complete though. Ashley gets up to stretch.

Kepler takes the bottle, seawater wet, from his Wartortle, who hops up on the lounge chair next to him, now invested in this particular problem. “Huh. A message in a bottle. I didn’t think these actually existed…”
[break][break]
His fingers wrap around the cork, grunting a little as he finally jerks it free with a pop. Shaking the bottle produces the small, folded tube of paper within, and then he sets the glass gently in the sand next to him and unrolls the paper.
[break][break]
He squints behind his sunglasses.
[break][break]
“Did you write this?” he asks, pinging the familiar handwriting immediately, holding the paper out as though Ash needs to see it. “Is this… a scavenger hunt?” He’s not mad. That seems kinda fun-- one of those things that, on your own or with anyone else, would be annoying, but with Ash everything was great.
[break][break]
He turns back to the paper. “A parasol, obviously.” And he reaches out to brush fingers against the umbrella pole next to him, looking up at the span of it above them. He trails up and up and up the thing, until his fingers brush something loose and he looks up.
[break][break]
“Did you set all this up?” he asks, snatching the note and pulling it into his lap to read.

It takes everything for Ashley not to give away the big secret too early. Kepler was opening it up, the bottle's riddle rather simple. A scavenger hunt? No, not quite. But as Ashley's poker face falters, he shrugs.[break][break]

"Baby, how could I?" It was completely possible. They lived in Slateport. The beach was right there, the bottle, easy to buy, the paper inside, easy to write on. All the clues point to Ashley, but he plays dumb, only making a smirk as Kepler guesses correctly, up to the parasol where his note stood.[break][break]

That last part was some of the hardest, really. Ashley hadn't known Caesar's Cyphers, but apparently they were letters reoriented in a way around the letters. So, say there was a cypher of one, a would be b, b would be c, c to d, d to e, so on and so forth. This one, he did, was a cypher of seven...[break][break]

Which would make DPSS FVB move 7 spaces left. D becomes W, P becomes I, S becomes L, F to Y, V to O, B to U...[break][break]

Ashley turns around. In his hand, still hidden from view was a tiny black box.[break][break]

"Come walk with me a bit. Maybe we can find the answer to who put that out there. Or at least... why."[break][break]

His hand was outstretched to Kep. Silver eyes lovingly casted down at his partner.



[break][break]

NOTES


- OUTFIT, IN HIS HAND, MISSION[break]
- Kep guesses correctly, and now has the cypher in front of him...[break]
- Hiding it from view, with a free hand, offers Kepler a walk as he figures out the puzzle. Somewhere special in mind...

Kepler is not falling for Ash’s ‘all-too-innocent’ charade whatsoever. There just so happens to be a message in a bottle washed up on the beach on the same day that Ashley suggests they go to the beach, and also this beach umbrella has a note taped to it?
[break][break]
“I’m a scientist, Ashley Shepard. I don’t believe in coincidences.”
[break][break]
The numbers are so meager as to be irrefutable. But still, Kepler is smiling; he’s game to play along. It seems fun.
[break][break]
He squints down at the gibberish on the paper, tongue slightly peeking out between his lips as he tries really hard to focus and figure out what the fuck it means. But he has no goddamn idea, and Ash’s offer of a walk breaks his train of thought.
[break][break]
“Huh? Oh, yeah, sure.” He folds the first message up and tucks it safely in their beach bag, holding the smaller, nonsense-strewn paper close to his chest. “Mister ‘how-could-I.”
[break][break]
Kepler’s grin has grown even larger as he takes Ash’s hand, brushing his thumb across his boyfriend’s palm as he stands and comes around the edge of their beach chairs. He presses a kiss to Ash’s forehead.
[break][break]
“I don’t know what you have planned, but I’m down. Let’s go.”

Oh, now they're scientists. Like logic is any basis behind love. Love is stupid! Probably! He just liked this smart love. It felt cute. It felt sweet. And yeah, so it was totally not a coincidence that he placed all these clues for Kepler to find...[break][break]

Yeah... he can't play dumb. But, as he feels Kepler walk around their chairs to give him a kiss on the forehead, Ashley can't help but smile.[break][break]

Resolve reinforced.[break][break]

And so, as they begin to walk, he holds Kepler's hand tightly, speaking up. "We got together in Halloween, last year? That's almost a year ago, huh?" It was earlier than that they met. Splashfest, if he remembered. But they only formally became a couple then, before Meteno claimed everything away from them. He was a different person back then, it feels, but really, he wasn't.[break][break]

This is who he had always been. As he walks in the sand, feet touching the hot sands themselves, each step, he felt more sure of himself.[break][break]

"I wanted to impress you so much. I was down bad." He was quiet. He wanted to enjoy the memory. "So much so I wanted to cook sushi for you... then I fell. Hard." His cheeks heat up. And he gives away the answer to the little hint. "Caesar cyphers are not easy, you know? Seven letters away seemed easy enough for that." He kept walking. He found the spot he wanted to do it.[break][break]

A little alcove, where rocks sat just above the waves, with the waves crashing around. Falling and cascading everywhere, to wetten all. He was certain. Let the water splash on them both when he says it.[break][break]

"I'm happy with you. Kepler Brueshaber."[break][break]

Almost time now. All the Pokemon are in place. Maple, having followed with Holy Diver and Kingsley providing bubbles with a little frosted rainbow to them, Ana setting around little rose petals in a tiny basket, and Laguna just along for the ride.[break][break]

"Wanna know what's on my mind?"



[break][break]

NOTES


- OUTFIT, IN HIS HAND, MISSION[break]
- Oh memory lane. What a cute little thing it is. Reveals the caesar cypher. Seven letters forward, revealing 'Will you'.[break]
- Finds the perfect spot. Holy Diver, Kingsley, Ana, and Maple have gotten it all ready.[break]
- Asks him 'Wanna know what's on my mind?'

Ash makes a face that is a horrible attempt at continuing the lie-- as though Kepler would at all be fooled that Ash is 100% innocent of anything that’s happened so far-- but he takes Kepler’s hand.
[break][break]
“Yeah, Halloween.” The Halloween he’d pushed way from the computer desk, put on a lab coat, picked up his phone, and decided to stop being a Fucking Loser and go on a goddamn date. “It’s-- like nine months, yeah. Almost a year, technically.” Technically in the same way that Pluto was technically a planet, in that it was closer to being one that it wasn’t.
[break][break]
Anyway, nine months was rather short in the normal span of courtship, Kepler thought, but Hoenn also had a lot more near-death sort-of-apocalypses than your normal place had. That sort of skewed people’s view on time. For example, Kepler’d only been in hoenn a little over a year, but he already felt like he’d aged 10, so by that metric he and Ash had been together about eight and a half years.
[break][break]
“You? I was terrified.” For any number of reasons, from his general social ineptitude, to having recently been kidnapped, and just about every anxiety causing situation one could imagine scattered between. A venerable daisy-chain of worries. “I’d never even had friends before and you were--,” sitting there, with Kepler awkwardly in his lap, offering to-- everything. Offering everything.
[break][break]
Caesar cipher. Kepler’s brain zooms in on that. He holds the little slip of paper up close to his face, focusing. Seven letters. He’s so engrossed he almost doesn’t hear Ash speak and it’s the usage of his full name that gets him looking up. “Huh?”
[break][break]
A cavern of stone stretched above them, the layers of rock a rainbow telling the tale of the earth. Water cascades down the far lip, mist streaming off in rainbow waves. Bubbles float through the air, iridescent; and there are suddenly rose petals scattered across the pebbles beneath their feet.
[break][break]
Kepler swallows, heartrate loud in his ears.

“Y-yes.”
He holds one hand out, shaking slightly, suddenly nervous.

Almost a year... enough brushes with death, enough trouble with meteors, the afterlife, and years of actual marriage fulfilled on the brink of war. And all on Ashley's mind now, as he finally turns on his heel, and takes a moment to look at Kep. All of him. He grabs Kepler's hand, and places in it... what he's held for awhile.[break][break]

And with it, Will You finds the last two words with silver, and a greenish blue jewel in a small ring. It's light.

"That we should just do it. Get married already, that is."[break][break]

He's smiling a little too much, a big wide, toothy grin to show all of them. And he lets the words sit in the air, hanging with the rainbow spectacle of bubbles shining by sunlight. With little Holy Diver preparing a WAVE CRASH to smack from the waves themselves, like Ashley had wanted.[break][break]

Here, in a small alcove on the beach, they were alone besides their Pokemon, as Ashley holds his hand out, dressed in his swimming attire. Covered in a little water, a little sweat. Fear bubbles its way in, but he doesn't relent, not a chance in hell.[break][break]

"So marry me."[break][break]

Holy Diver smashes the little Wave Crash, with Maple utilizing a MIRROR COAT to illuminate their small spot in a rainbow of coloration, to ensure both lovers didn't get wet. Ana, Laguna, and Kingsley watch on in silence, Ana and Laguna's eyes sparkling.[break][break]

He takes the breath in. He keeps his hand there.[break][break]

"I mean it. This time... here in Hoenn."



[break][break]

NOTES


- OUTFIT, IN HIS HAND, MISSION[break]
- Answers the will you finally with a ring now in Kep's hand.[break]
- Wants to do it right this time, so as Holy Diver gets the Wave Crash ready, Maple has the rainbow lights in their little alcove.[break]
- Holds his hand out. Ana and Laguna's eyes are watering. Sparkling. This time, in Hoenn.

It just goes to show that Kepler’s life is such a grievous collection of comedic errors that I don’t want to die a virgin has turned into this. A random lottery of meaningless tragedy and a series of near escapes. And this beautiful, wonderful, magical, infinitely fuckable, perfect man.
[break][break]
His pulse is thundering in his ears and he thinks his soul leaves his body, which, considering he’s seen it happen before, should be fairly terrifying. The roar of it mixes in with the roar of the waves and the magic that Ash’s team is pulling off around them.
[break][break]
Kepler’s heart does funny things in his chest and it isn’t, for a change, his cardiac condition.
[break][break]
“...oh, my god.” His hand turns into a claw and he grabs Ash’s arm and pulls, chest to chest, arms coming to wrap around Ash’s neck and pulls their mouths together.
[break][break]
“Yes, yes, yes, a thousand-million times yes.”

Sushi. It all started with sushi. As funny as that sounded, that little Slowpoke sent him on the journey of his life. From nearly dying, getting back to Rocket, enjoying seafood with Kep and Isaac, trick or treating, Meteno, ice skating, drinking, the winter masquerade, the journey into the borders, the Ultra Sea War, and now... the ever-fading memories of Galar.[break][break]

He thanks every day, and everyone for this moment. With Kep around him, wrapped in his arms, in his neck, in his lips, they share the moment together. The Pokemon around, just enjoying the moment. So much so, that Ana, the little Pikachu feels the energy pulse through her body. Her body shines brightly.[break][break]

The new beachside Alolan Raichu happily skating upon her tail, as she surfs around them both. And all while Ashley is holding Kepler, hoisting him into his arms, and spinning him in this alcove.[break][break]

"I love you."[break][break]

If only he can get it out from every kiss he made, but Holy Diver and Kingsley continue their rainbow bubble beauty, the scene magnificent, as Laguna squelches over too.[break][break]

Maple, however, had to get Kepler's Pokemon. Because they needed to be in on this too. They needed to enjoy this together. The Glaceon gestures for them all to see this moment together. Letting the breeze come back in, as Ashley holds Kepler closely.[break][break]

"We've waited twenty years for this... to do it right this time. Ya'know?" He still has Kepler in his bigger, beefier arms, held up now.[break][break]

"All the way this time." Ride or die.
