@ᴀᴘᴛ⁵⁰² ten c. l. It all takes her by great surprise. Knowing that he had prepared a mini picnic for the both of them already made a warm feeling bubble within her, her lips partening just slightly in surprise the moment he had taken out the tupperware with already cut fruit. They say all good things come in a flock. It seems to be a true statement, because what Ten pulls out afterwards makes her jaw go slack. It's not anything big not special like a proposal, but small gestures like this always made Momo's day. Her eyes flicker between her boyfriend and the rings he's presented and she's speechless. Although it may not have been a lot in another person's eyes, it meant nearly the world to her and she can't help but break into the biggest, most idiotic grin. One could surely tell she was smitten. A silent laugh bubbles out of her as she takes a moment to examine the rings. "Angel wings. Angel," she observes, her grin widening even further as she picks the case up. They're small angel wings on a ring and she knows he bought it specifically for that reason. After all, she's always been calling him "tenshi", which he knew meant angel. The fact that he took time to find rings that would be so meaningful made her feel grateful. One cihld say she was euphoric, feeling as if she's floating in a safe sanctuary in the sky. By now, there's a small twinkle in her eyes as she takes out the rose gold ring. Like a shy school girl receiving a confession, a roseate blush rushes to her cheeks as she hands it to him. "Would you do the honors of putting it on? It's only right for my angel to guide me on taking care of his wings. Don't you think so?"

@ᴀᴘᴛ⁵⁰² momo h. He lightly shakes his head and mumbles out, "It's of my greatest pleasure, babe." It had been a while since he'd been planning this, just never had the time or the opportunity to really act on it. Actually, as a matter of fact, he'd spent months just planning it out—it, and many other date ideas—but he decided that in the end, he'd probably just end up doing something like this spur of the moment, which is what ended up happening. Even still though, with that in mind, he came with some preparation, and just as she asks what he wants to do, he begins shuffling through the duffel bag once again. One by one, he pulls out little tubs of tupperware filled with fruits and puts them on the blanket before the two of them. "Well, my dear," he begins, popping some of the containers open with his free hand, "I want to enjoy my favorite fruits with you." A soft smile rests over his lips and he laughs a bit, releasing some of the nerves beginning to bubble up and flutter about his stomach. For the third and final time, he reaches into the duffel bag, and fishes around for a small case, popping it open with his hand still in the bag. His head turns to her and he sinks his teeth into his ever growing grin. That's when he pulls out the case and softly sets it on her lap, putting on display two rings, one silver and one rose gold, but both the same design. "I also, want to give you these," he says in a voice that's just shy of a whisper. "They're promise rings, but they don't have to mean anything... I also couldn't decide which color to get, so I got both."

@ᴀᴘᴛ⁵⁰² ten c. l. As the sun peeks out from behind the horizon, making its entrance known with the vibrant hues spreading throughout the sky, her lips part slightly in astonishment. "It's beautiful," she says, the words escaping unconsciously from within her at the breathtaking sight. Using her thumb to carress his knuckles back and forth, she comments again. "Thank you," she begins shyly, "for sharing something you love with me. For letting me experience this together with you." It's a genuine statement, one released in a candid manner out of the moment. Although they've been together for some time now, she feels grateful whenever he opens up about himself. To her, in a way, it felt like their relationship was progressing — one step at a time. His words successfully catch her attention. With a burst of curiosity, she adjusts herself so as to sit up properly and look Ten in the eye — but not before leaving a quick peck on his shoulder. "What do you want to do, angel?" You know I'm up for anything as long as it's with you." She tilts her head slightly, a cheeky grin evident on her face, as she waits for his answer.

@ᴀᴘᴛ⁵⁰² momo h. Carefully, so he doesn't move too far from Momo or make her uncomfortable, he reaches over to the duffel bag and s it, pulling out another blanket and momentarily disconnecting their fingers so he can place the blanket over their laps. At her question, he simply nods and puts on another grin. "It's quite the sight, and it's something I used to really love to do." Just as he says that, out peeks the sun, spreading an orange and red tinge throughout a sky of pale blue. Very softly, he inhales a deep breath, enjoying the soft sounds of the waves pushing and pulling against the shore and the birds squeak and squawking. He takes a moment to take in the smell of the salty ocean air and run the fingers of his free hand through the sand, faint breeze blowing through the strands of his hair and Momo's warmth radiating off her skin in a manner comfortable to him, then he exhales. "There's also something I wanted to do," he says lowly, head slightly turning to push a peck into her hair.

@ᴀᴘᴛ⁵⁰² ten c. l. She sits down next to him like she's instructed to, leaning her head on Ten's shoulder in pure laziness before entwining their arms so she can interlace her fingers with his. Momo stays like that for a moment, feeling the cool breeze against her skin and listening to the soft crashing of the low tides. To her, this moment is flawless — the serendipity of the empty beach, the warmth radiating from Ten and the way his presence comforted her. She wouldn't trade it for anything and she can already tell that she'll be reminiscing this moment in the future. Turning her head to the side to stare at her boyfriend, her chin nestled on his shoulder, she can't help but break into an idiotic simper. "Let me guess," she begins, a twinkle in her eye as she squeezes his hand gently, "we're here to watch the sunrise?"

@ᴀᴘᴛ⁵⁰² momo h. His smile grows wider at her words and he promptly opens up his car door to scurry on over to her side and open her door for her, moving out of her way and going to the backseat to pull out a rolled up beach blanket and duffel bag. Sure, this date had been impromptu, but they were going to be doing something he used to enjoy when he'd come here alone—something that, thankfully, didn't require much. Taking her hand in his, he does as told and leads her out into the grainy sand, stopping not too close but not too far from the shore and then laying the blanket down. He carefully drops the duffel bag and then takes a seat, patting beside him for her to follow suit. "Don't worry, babe," he says, eyes trained on her the entire time. "It should be happening any minute now."

@ᴀᴘᴛ⁵⁰² ten c. l. Momo was never a morning person. She would never voluntarily get up early if there was no reason to. But today had been an exception — her parents had taken Amon for a weekend and she hadn't spent some quality alone time with her boyfriend in a while. After some careful consideration on her side, she gave in to Ten's request for a spontaneous outing. Albeit still being drowsy, she had connected the dots in her head and realized that he probably wanted to take her out on a small date—a luxury they couldn't experience due to caring for a child—and her thoughts were only confirmed when he stopped in the parking lot of the local beach.

Following his lead, she unbuckles her seatbelt as well before turning to look at him with a lopsided grin. "As ready as I'll ever be. Lead the way, angel."

@ᴀᴘᴛ⁵⁰² momo h. It's early in the morning. Approximately 5:24 AM and light outside even without the presence of the sun. Amon is at his maternal grandparents' place and probably sound asleep, so Ten thought it would be a good idea to take advantage of the alone time with Momo and take her out for something like a simple kind of date type thing. Of course, dragging her out of bed at the start of the hour wasn't easy, but somehow, he convinced her to come out to the beach with him. Unbuckling his seat belt and turning his head to look at his sleepy girlfriend, he puts on a grin and reaches out to brush away some of the stray strands of hair from her face.

"Are you ready?"
