Ash, is this...

[He's quiet as he takes the ring out of the box to examine it, and he can't quite help the way his breath hitches a little at seeing "promise" engraved on the inside.]

[switchaxe]

Yeah, it is. We're too fuckin' young for anything else and need to get our lives under some kinda control first but...if you want it, I want you.

[infezione]

I definitely want it, yeah.

[As he turns to pull Ash into a kiss.

When he pulls back, he holds the ring out to Ash and offers his hand.]

[switchaxe]

[And on it goes.]

Hell yeah, it fits. Oh, I got a chain in my stuff for it, if you want.

[infezione]

Yeah, I'd like that.

[He plans to mostly wear it as a ring, but the chain is a nice option.]

[switchaxe]

Great. Don't want you losin' it out there with the nerd crew.

[Field work is a bad place for rings.]

[infezione]

Yeah, exactly.

[God, he just. Needs a moment to admire how the ring looks on his hand. Holy shit, this is happening.

Also he just. Needs to pull Ash into another kiss holy shit--]

[switchaxe]

[Yep, returning the kiss.]

Love you, Pat.

[infezione]

Love you, too.

[He'll give it a few minutes before he retrieves the deed again and holds it up.]

So, uh, should we... go check the place out?

[switchaxe]

Yeah. Pick whatever vehicle except Aegis. [Yeah, he thinks he likes Aegis for his Miraidon's name.] She's tired.

[infezione]

Yeah, let's let her rest. We can take my car.

[switchaxe]

Hell yeah. Meet you outside, I gotta clean up a bit.

[Running with the dogs and all.]

[infezione]

Alright.

[He smiles, stealing a quick kiss before grabbing his keys and heading outside.]

[switchaxe]

[It takes Ash a few minutes but soon enough he's out and joining Pat in the car.]

What's the address? I'll pull up GPS.

[infezione]

[He'll read that off so Ash can put it into the GPS. It's a spot in the general vicinity of Blue Fish Park.]

[switchaxe]

Ooh, nice location.

[Off they go! He reaches over and rests a hand on Pat's knee. He is maybe a little clingy after Asgard, still.]

[infezione]

[And while Pat can't keep his own hand there, he does drop his hand down every time they've stopped to gently squeeze Ash's hand a little.

After a while, they get to the house and Pat's jaw drops upon seeing it. Even just the front yard and driveway are massive, holy shit--]

[switchaxe]

What the hell?!

[They are TEENAGERS how the fuck is this happening?]

[infezione]

... No need to worry about having room for the dogs, I guess.

[Holy shit. He parks the car in the driveway, then gets out, moving to get Ash's door for him immediately.]

[switchaxe]

No kidding. Wait, how do we get the keys?

[infezione]

... You know what, I'm gonna just--

[Excuse him, he's going to check his bag--for all he knows, the shopkeeper dropped the keys into it.

... And sure enough:]

Could've just handed me the keys when I got handed the deed, but nooooooo...

[switchaxe]

Fuckin' weirdo.

[He gestures for Pat to lead on.]

[infezione]

[Leading on! There's a small path that leads up to the front door. He gets the door open to immediately be met with--

--more space than he expected, honestly. There's immediately a staircase upstairs, but that can wait for now. Pat, for his part, is more interested in exploring the ground floor first.]

[switchaxe]

[Ash heads up to start exploring.]

Holy shit...

[infezione]

[The living room is spacious, the kitchen is, frankly, huge, and once Pat's gotten a feel for the downstairs, he'll go track down Ash.]

Holy shit.
