[Well that certainly gets a sheepish laugh out of him.]
I...guess I did. Huh. [He scratches at his chin.] I never thought of it like that.
[But now that he reflects on it... In their precious few weeks together, Dandy has already helped him so much. He hasn't only taken care of Hagakure- he's taught Hagakure how to take better care of himself. It's going to go a long way for his personal development.
And he's certainly eager to learn more.]
I'm more than ready 'n' willing! I'm done being the useless tag-along. Before ya know it, I'm gonna bag more aliens than even you! [He's likewise joking about that last bit, of course. It's a team effort, after all!] But hey! I might not have a scope as big as yours, but I know my fair share about aliens. Maybe I can help track some down some rare ones!
[Judging from how utterly psyched for a potential future in alien-hunting Hagakure is, Dandy really has nothing to worry about. But Hagakure will tell him as much as he looks on with eyes so bright you could imagine stars twinkling in them.]
Dee, I obviously didn't have a name for it back then, but the Dandy life's all I've ever wanted. It sure as hell beats anything else I had goin' for me. [Which isn't to say he didn't like his trajectory in life...but it wasn't exactly going as he'd hoped either.] It's exactly the fresh start I was lookin' for.
[After a brief pause, he leans in for a gentle kiss. His voice lowers a bit to something more serious.]
What I'm trying to say is...thank you. For everything you've done for me, and for helping me find my new future.
[...]
I'd rather be bridal carried though, for reference.
[They are undead, suspended in liminal space, but the sheer rush that Dandy experiences from hearing those words is one he can't identify all that clearly. When he closes his eyes and receives that kiss from lips that have become familiar to him, reveling in the slight scratch of stubble against his own long chin, he can feel a vibration reverberating from within.
Resonating to completion, filling a void.
Just like it was said before, and even though Dandy couldn't say how or why, he can confirm that without a doubt, this timeline is cosmically significant. What he doesn't know is why.
But the truth is that this iteration of Space Dandy, the first in a very long time, has actually managed to find a love that lasts, and as a result, his body will finally start to age.
Slowly, gradually. The way that humans who fall in love do, much like the changing of the seasons.]
[However, when Dandy opens his eyes, there'd be no way to know.]
Not a fat chance in a bucket of boiling chicken grease!
Your legs are too long. You'd kick around and damage the irreplaceable goods that are my eyes, nose, lips, and studly jawline! No, no, no! Over the shoulder or under the armpit's the only way to go with you.
[It should be noted that this is a lie. He is absolutely going to remember this and bridal carry Gooby to safety at some point, even if it's not practical. Let's hope they don't die again.]
But if you really wanna be my bride, I guess we so could snag one of those of skimpy white garters off some drunk chick at BooBies and shimmy it up your furry thigh!
[u kno one of the girls hat gets trashed at her bachelorette parties??? yeah it's horrible i know]
Awwww, come on!! I'd be careful! It's me that those goods are for now, ya know.
[He playfully runs a hand along Dandy's jaw to help drive the point home. It's all in good fun!
...at least until Dandy runs with the joke further than he could've predicted. His hair seems to rise along with his eyebrows to a comical degree as he turns bright red. He is absolutely aware that this is a joke. Dandy doesn't do marriage! But...if they spend the rest of their lives together, that's the same thing, right?
Deep breaths, Hagakure. Don't get ahead of yourself. You haven't even gotten to have a proper first date.
And speaking of... Playing it cool despite his prominent flush, he grins at the idea of a BooBies outing.]
Dude, a date at BooBies? That'd make my first visit all the more memorable! First thing we do when we get outta here- let's do it!
[And now, more than ever, he is absolutely determined to make sure they get out of here. Not even death itself is going to get in the way of their destined BooBies date.
...and the rest of their future, brighter than any star.]
