Prompt #174

"It's supposed to be a diamond ring, not- not a pearl necklace."

Villain's eyes went awry. "I- well, love, the business I visited had diamonds and pearls. The diamonds were..." They blew out a breath and shook their head in a recollected moment of disbelief. "They were mightily expensive, whereas the pearls were-"

"You couldn't have just stolen a diamond ring?"

"I'm sorry that I was trying to be righteous for our engagement!" Villain threw their hands out. "You always scold me for stealing. I thought you'd be glad I didn't steal for once."

"Not," Hero said, "when it comes to tradition. I should like a diamond ring. Until then, no, I will not marry you."

Villain grumbled. "If this is what I get for being good then maybe I'll never be good at all." They didn't think Hero heard until-

"Good. I like a bad boy."
