( he's relieved and happy that Sandalphon likes the pokémon. but ... there is a bigger question at play here. Corrin swallows his nerves, dropping down to one knee, taking one of Sandalphon's hands into his own. )
I need to tell you what I learned about this Pokémon. ( whew ... deep breaths. ) ... Applin is a Pokémon from the Galar region. By tradition, it is a Pokémon that a person gives to another they love when they want to be with them forever.
( and - what's this? he reaches into his pocket and retrieves a velvet box, which he opens. inside of it is a ring inspired by the very man he is proposing to. yes - proposing.)
When I first arrived in this place, I never imagined I'd meet someone as special as you. You've changed my life and make every day better than the last. I owe so much of my happiness to you, and never want that happiness to go away. For as long as I live, I will always love you.
[ the kneeling and hand in his made him raise an eyebrow, but he does tighten his grip on corrin’s hand as he explains the reasoning behind the applin.
the knowledge of applin’s lore makes sandalphon’s eyes widen, shock and realization hitting a lot harder than he expected. oh, gods, there was someone who wanted to spend eternity with him? of course, he tries to ignore the obvious limitations of corrin’s body, but that’s thrown out the window when he spots the ring. oh god, oh fuck. his mouth is dry. holy shit there IS someone who wants to stay—
and then the million dollar question. holy fucking shit. sandalphon is red as a tomato and still unable to get anything out of his mouth. god, what exactly does he say— what can he say? he’s silent at first, but he knows he has to say something!! why can’t he say something??? but then he blinks. oh, it’s wet… wait. he reaches up to touch his cheeks. he’s crying.
all he knows is that this? this is the happiest he’s ever been. he nods his head, smiling brightly despite the tears streaming down his face. he doesn’t know why, but all he feels is elation. ]
