After you two had hugged for you bit he lightly drew your body to his he held you bridal style as he used his wings to lift the two of you off the bed, carrying you his way out of his room and back to yours.

"Your bed's for snuggling and mine is for the reason I'll be getting noise complaints." He said lowly and your brain short-circuited.

HOW!? How can he be so hot!? Oh- great heavens! I don't think I'll ever know the answer...

He entered your room and walked over to the bed, laying you down before crawling around to the other side and laying down behind you.

"See, I can be innocent too."

"Suuure~" You said with a small chuckle of disbelief.

"No, really!" He laughed as he cuddled into you. There was a moment of silence as you pondered something before speaking again. "Hey, Yin." He said softly.

"Hm?" You you hummed back.

"How do you feel about the idea of actually being my wife?" He asked gently, his voice suddenly sounding very vulnerable. "I know it was just meant to be play pretend, and it's pretty rushed. it's just... when you said that you liked the idea of taking my last name, It made me really happy."

Your heart immediately began to do summersaults in your chest as he continued to lay snuggled into you with his chest pushed plush against your back.

"I'm not just sayin this to try and get you to sleep with me either," He added, "I genuinely like you and I'd love it if you took my last name for a reason other than protective purposes."

"A... Are you sure?" You whispered.

"Yin," he whispered, cupped a hand to your cheek and gently turning your head to face him. "I've never been more sure in my life." He said in a soft yet serious tone. "Please. will you marry me?"

Suddenly Hawks got up and hopped off the bed kneeling on one knee beside it. You sat up and looked at him, confused, to which he tenderly reached out and took your hand.

You were speechless... This is NOT how you had expected your life to turn out. You never thought you'd be able to get within 100 feet of this man, let alone have him be proposing to you! This all had to be some elaborate dream. 

"I never thought I'd be proposing to the girl of my dreams in my guest bedroom at the middle of the night while practically naked..." He dead panned under his breath, though purposefully loud enough for you to hear.

You laughed and saw a smile tug at the corners of his lips through the darkness.

"I'll ask you one more time, Yin. Would you make me the happiest man alive and be my wife?"

"Yes!" You said, beaming from ear to ear. You felt his body relax, his hand loosening it's hold on yours as he gave a relived smile.

"Man, that was way more stressful than I thought it'd be. I don't know what I would've done if you'd said no." He laughed, nervously scratching the back of his head with his free hand. "Once we get this alias name of yours processed, I'll go ahead and organize for a marriage certificate as well. I'm so sorry we won't be able to be properly married yet. But hey, maybe in the future when this whole situation is worked out, I'll be able to give you the wedding you deserve."

You nodded in the darkness and squeezed his hand.

"It's settled than." He said as he climbed back onto the bed. "Don't think this means we have to do... Uh... Stuff straight away. I've waited this long, I'm willing to wait a lifetime until you're ready."
