Toji who picks up as many extra shifts as he can and saves up for a whole year to afford a ring he thinks is worthy of being on your finger. After months of searching he finally finds the one and carries it with him every day waiting for the right time to pop the question.
The time comes when you're out for a walk one day. It's a beautiful summer evening and the sun is just beginning to sink past the horizon, painting the sky with pink and orange hues.
You pull Toji off the path and up a short hill to get a better view. Your eyes are wide as you watch the sky change colors. The gradient of light blue to pale orange and pink, the last golden rays of the sun as it falls further behind the horizon.
"The sun goes down every day, but I can't help but be awed by it each time." You say, fixated on the majesty before you.
"Yeah.." Toji responds. But his eyes aren't looking at the sunset, they're looking at you. You, who shined brighter than the sun. You, who hung the stars in the sky that illuminated his darkness. You, who showed him what love is.
Movement from the corner of your eye caught your attention, and your mouth formed an 'o' when you realized Toji was down on one knee, holding a ring box.
"I know I'm not the best at articulating myself but... the way you feel about this sunset is how I feel about you. I wake up every day and fall asleep every night to you, and I am in awe every time. I think this sunset, every sunset, pales in comparison to you. You shine brighter than the sun and all the stars in the sky. I love you... I know love because of you. And I would like to keep waking up to you and falling asleep to you and loving you for the rest of my life if you'll have me."
Your eyes were watering as he opened the ring box and revealed a ring that looked like a sun. There was one large diamond in the center with other smaller diamonds radiating out around it. It was all set in a gold band.
"Of course I'll have you." You say through tears.
Toji lets out a breath he didn't realize he was holding and smiles, slipping the ring onto your outstretched hand. It was a perfect fit.
He stands up and wipes the tears from your eyes and pulls you close, embracing you as the last of the light faded from the sky.
But as long as you were with him, there would always be light in his life.

every time someone calls moirallegience just an alien qpr i wilt a lil like YEAH thats more or less the CLOSEST human thing but its also Literally Not That. like a qpr is fundanmentally not romantic and thats not even going into moirails whole Actual Purpose of calming ppl down. its just. aughhhhh pisses me off i see the confusion but, as aformentioned, aughhhhh
OH MY GOD THIS HAS BEEN BOTHERING ME TOO.... but i don't want to get petty at the people in my notes always saying "moirails are QPRs!" because in some ways that is the closest human thing so it's hard to be mad...
i think there's definitely some overlap in some ways. but NOT because moirallegiance and qprs are the same at all really, but INSTEAD because both relationships have unconventional boundaries defined by the people within them.
you know... like every relationship.
like the only reason the two have overlap is because they are both partnerships that emotionally care for each other but can choose to not bang (which is true for any romance anyway, even if it's considered abnormal). they're both just romances* that are unconventional to human norms, which makes people view them as the same thing when they're not.
i think the REAL issue here is that humans insist on using human words to understand things that are just, fundamentally, alien. can't we just appreciate alien romance for being... alien romance?
no, it's not platonic, it's romantic. it's just romantic in a way you aren't quite wired to understand, is all.
*in generalization, most QPRs are not romantic, because they are made up of aroaces who are life partners in a non-romantic way. however i want to disagree with you that none of them are romantic, because that is up to the partners in question.
