He wasn't really all that fucking sure how they got on the topic, but shit, he was glad they had. The rings Serena has just handed over when she found out wedding bands were needed was something he'd never expected, though definitely didn't fucking mind. He was sitting in bed a while later with them still in his hands, looking at them, really

Penny hadn't been gone for long, but she was still glad to make it back to the hut. There were days she wished she didn't have to bother with going out at all, and if weren't for the fact that there were still a lot of things they needed at the Compound, she probably wouldn't have. Either way, strange as it might have seemed to her, there was nowhere she liked being more than at home with Gideon, and considering how soon they were getting married, that was probably a good thing.

"It's so fucking hot out," she called as she walked in, peeling off the shirt she'd had on as soon as the door was closed so that she could change into a lighter, looser tank top when she reached the bedroom. Only then, a moment later, did she cross to the bed, flopping down rather unceremoniously, then leaning in to press a quick kiss to Gideon's cheek. "What's up?"

Gideon just sort of watched her as she got changed, not entirely speaking. Suddenly he found himself faced with how he was going to fucking tell her about this shit, and he had a feeling just blunting showing it was the fucking way to go. After a moment, he reached out, gently letting one ring fall on her stomach.

"That's what's up," he said, simply, managing to bit back the grin he knew was threatening to come out. He glanced up at her face, wanting to see her reaction.

It took Penny a moment to figure out what it was he'd shown her, but she picked it up from where he'd dropped it and looked at it, drawing in a breath that only just fell short of a gasp after a few seconds. There was only one thing she could think of that a ring like this could be for, though she'd certainly never expected anything this fucking nice.

"Fuck," she murmured, looking away from it and back over at him, eyes still a little wide. "Is this for -" She was certain, of course, that it was, but she had to ask.

"Got one for me, too," he said, showing the other ring in his hand, as if that was answer enough to the fucking question. There was no holding back the grin on his face as he finally said, "Yeah, it's for the wedding. Not bad, right? They almost fucking match."
