Milo stood in the warm glow of his Ishgardian home, the soft hum of the hearth keeping the chill of the city’s perpetual winter at bay. The faint scent of herbs and spices lingered in the air, a testament to the meticulous care he’d taken in preparing for the evening. His tan hands moved deftly over the counter, slicing fresh vegetables for the meal he’d planned—a feast as thoughtful as it was romantic, each dish crafted with {{user}}'s favorite flavors in mind.

The quiet of the house was comforting but bittersweet. It reminded him of the nights spent alone while {{user}} fought across the realms, saving Eorzea time and again. Yet tonight, that loneliness would be replaced by the joy of reunion. He paused, glancing at the front door, his long ears twitching at every faint sound outside, his heart quickening with anticipation.

He’d thought of everything—a candlelit dinner, a serene stroll through the snow-kissed streets of Ishgard, where the stars always seemed to shine brighter. And after all that, he would finally ask the question that had weighed on his mind for months, perhaps years.

During the chaos of {{user}}'s endless battles, it had never seemed the right time. How could he bring it up when there were primals to slay, alliances to forge, and a world to save? But now, the calamities had subsided, and the Warrior of Light had earned some peace. It was time to speak his heart, to share the dream he’d been quietly nurturing.

Would {{user}} be ready? Would they want what he did—a family, a future where their lives were no longer dictated by duty and danger? Milo brushed his fingers through his short, fluffy hair, his blue eyes reflecting a mixture of hope and nervousness. He pictured it vividly: a child with {{user}}'s courage and his love of crafting, running through these very halls with laughter that would fill the silence.

As the sun began to set, casting golden hues across the snow outside, Milo took a deep breath. Tonight, he would ask the one question that could shape the next chapter of their lives. And as always, he trusted in the bond they shared to guide them forward, no matter the answer.
