[It had taken them time to come together, to make things work and make sense to them both. Back home, things were so different, so much more difficult in so many ways. Here... maybe they only had to worry about the occasional life threatening situation and they'd be fine thereafter. It was an easy decision for Dice, following the desires of his impulsive heart, to want to be with Gentaro. To want to make that permanent was... terrifying. He's young, and he knows it, stupid, impulsive, he bleeds money, but his heart is as big as anyone's and he decided when Gentaro wrote a book for him that that was all he needed. Maybe it's that he still expects his life to be short and bright. Maybe it's that he wants to find one more anchor besides just Fling Posse.
Whatever the case, whatever led him to buy that ring on impulse when he saw it, he didn't expect to give it to Gentaro so soon. Any plans he was forming did go right out the window, but Gentaro asked, Gentaro wanted, and Dice didn't have the heart or desire to refuse. It's not a honeymoon phase, in his opinion. He's spent nights pretending to be asleep, mulling over this, making sure he knows what he's doing and doesn't let Gentaro down. He spent those weeks they were apart examining his life, going from anger to sadness, wondering and hoping and forgetting himself until finally that knock came and they fell together, never to part again.
That's the way the story started in earnest. He knows it'll end out among the cosmos somewhere, their starlit and moonlit love, even if it started with misunderstandings and foolishness. He's devoted. He's dedicated. And he loves Gentaro more than he can explain.
He goes out only in the afternoon, after Gentaro offhandedly mentions they need more cat food, forgetting the date entirely. So by the time the night rolls around, he's cozy on the couch, playing casino and crane games on his phone, passing the time with little exclamations and curses, one hand straying now and again to pet Prince beside him.]
oh no oh no
