[With Diarmuid - wedding anniversaries.]

[unknownrival]

[This time of year was always a special one, and had been for the last twenty years. Issei smiled almost uncontrollably as he broached the subject in their bedroom.]

Do you have any plans for the near future, a rún?

[croibhristeoir]

I hope you're not upset.

[unknownrival]

I've been married to you twenty years - do you think I could be upset?

[croibhristeoir]

No, I suppose you likely couldn't.

[unknownrival]

I won't try to, at least.

[croibhristeoir]

I'm sure your patience with me has long since reached its limit.

[unknownrival]

Never. [Cheek kiss.] Twenty more, I think, would be well worth wishing for.

[croibhristeoir]

I would love that, Issei.

[unknownrival]

In fact, I could go for 'for the rest of my life'.

[croibhristeoir]

Do you really mean that?

[unknownrival]

Of course.

[croibhristeoir]

[Hug time!]

[unknownrival]

[Yaaaay, hugs~!]

[croibhristeoir]

I love you.

[unknownrival]

I love you, Diarmuid.

[croibhristeoir]

I'm glad to hear it.

[Kiss~]

[unknownrival]

[Kiss kiss~]

I should hope so.

[croibhristeoir]

So tell me, what are we going to do?

[unknownrival]

I wonder... I'd like to spend some time outside, if the weather permits. You always did like that.

The twenty-fifth is the usually more extravagant anniversary. For that, we're going to Ireland.

[croibhristeoir]

...Sorry, what.

[unknownrival]

Five years from now, I'm taking you to visit your home.

[croibhristeoir]

...

[This face.]

[unknownrival]

...I thought it would be romantic and beautiful.

[croibhristeoir]

I-I...I don't know what to say. I don't...really think that I can articulate just how happy I am right now.

[unknownrival]

Oh, good. I was worried of the opposite.

[croibhristeoir]

Of course not, Issei. How could I be anything but happy about something like this?
