Meanwhile…[Bi-Han P.O.V.]

Something's on Shang's mind. He's fidgeting like he's had one too many beers. I should probably not mention that I've just bought some candy for You and Mileena. That ought to make her mad enough to forget being embarrassed. Sure as hell would do wonders for me!

Wow…I can't believe she let me take it further! She's always so shy! And prudish, as Shang claims. I think she's perfect for me, even if she is a prude. She's logical yet knows that even rules have limits. I love it when she breaks the rules; it shows me the true rebel I know she can be. That and she's the most interesting person, besides you, that I've ever had the pleasure to come across. And she's all mine.

Shang's hand waving in front of my eyes brought me out of my daydream. "Bi-Han, hello? Are you there?"

"Knock it off," I groaned as I moved his hand away from my face. God only knows where that thing has been!

"Well, if you'd answer my question I'd be happy to not think of you as a nit-wit."

Quickly I tried to think about everything he'd been talking about for the last few minutes while I was off in lala land. Damn, I can't remember anything. "Uh, remind me what the topic was about."

"You weren't even listening!" he complained. "Great. Wonderful. Fantastic! It was sad enough that I was asking you of all people in the first place!"

Now I was confused. "What in the name of the elder gods are you talking about Shang?"

The sound of his sigh indicated that he really, really wanted to talk about…whatever it is he wants to talk about. "Fine, I'll say it again. Well Bi-Han, you know how I already proposed to Y/N, right?" With his skin getting flushed it helped me remember why he would be embarrassed.

"Yeah…you screwed up from the original plan. I mean, come on! You just got nervous on her and asked her like it was no big deal!" Oh yeah, Shang fucked up on that proposal big time. "Just be happy she actually said 'yes' to you, after the stunt you pulled."

"I didn't know she was actually going to eat the new candy experiment I made once I pulled it from my pocket!"

"Which then turned her tongue purple and gave her blisters in her mouth, might I add."

"I'm still shocked that she ate it without even asking what it was, or even noticed that the ring I hid in the wrapper was even there! What was I supposed to do? I said the first thing that came to my mind and considering I'd been dead set on asking her to marry me anyway that day that was the first thing that came out of my mouth. I was worried and nervous."

"So what does that have to do with anything?" I questioned him. This ought to be interesting.

"I want to ask her again, only this time it would be more romantic. No silly trick for candy. This time it won't be a nervous joke."Was I hearing my boss correctly? He actually wanted to be romantic? Well, who was I to put a guy down when he was out for something he really wants. "Well, do it then!" He seemed relieved by my answer. I didn't question why though, it wasn't my business.

Quicker than I could ask he picked up the papers from several locations that were renting space out and grabbed my hand and we went straight for the weapons. He didn't have to tell me twice where we were going; shopping. On the way home we stopped by a candy shop and he picked up a box of candy and put the new ring he'd bought for her inside. With that done we went to the store and he bought her a Root Beer and stuffed it into his bag.

It took several minutes for us to get home, we headed inside, noticing both Y/N and Mileena cleaning up the many boxes of pizza and soda that littered the living room. Both girls smiled at us and proceeded to clean.

Nervously Shang removed the candy box from his coat pocket and walked over to Y/N. Looks like he was eager to get this done with. "Y/N, I know I love you more than anything in all the realms, and I know that what I'm about to ask you I already have; I'd just like the chance to make it right this time." Smooth, Shang. He went down on one knee and handed her the box of candy. Her eyes got big, knowing that inside that little box would be sweets. Slowly he opened it and her eyes got even bigger. By this time I was surprised she'd remained quiet. "You, will you marry me? Even though I already asked?"
