The night sky spans over Monster Island with the stars and moon illuminating the island along with the ocean waters around it. The waves gently splash on the shores while crashing onto the rocks like they normally do even without a large breeze in the air.
In these waters that surround the island, Godzilla Junior floats on his back with much of his body submerged while keeping a paw on the back of Mothra Leo. The young dinosaur tilts his head and smiles at the larva laying on his chest as he hears them discussing about the future.
"So, what do you think of Virgo?"
"That'll be a lovely name, Leo," Junior replies softly, "It'd fit your daughter well."
"Thanks," Leo says with a little chuckle, "I've had that name bouncing in my head for the last few days."
Junior lets out a soft chuckle of his own as he leans in and nuzzles the larva's mandibles with the insect kaiju nuzzling back. The two were close friends in their youth, and now inseparable as they've grown up together. The dinosaur has many friends – including the joyful Toto and the aggressive Varan – but only Leo has ever done something which has set him apart from the others.
For only Leo has ever captured his heart.
"Say, we're going to be together once you're king, right?" the moth suddenly asks while perking up.
"Of course, Princess~" the dinosaur answers, letting out a playful growl that makes his love giggle.
"Well, than maybe you should give them a name too," Leo tells him as his little green eyes look into Junior's brown eyes, "I don't have a name for if I end up having a boy."
"A boy?" Junior asks, blinking as his love nods and he tilts his head up to look at the skies.
So much has happened this day, especially in regards to what the future will hold for the young dinosaur. He wishes to tell Leo, but his cute larva started discussing about when he'll lay an egg after he undergoes his metamorphosis. Even if it won't happen right away, hearing his love chat eagerly about having his own child brought joy to the monster prince who wishes to share in it.
As silence falls over the two, Leo starts to become a little nervous about the sudden question he gave to his love. He has been thinking about the idea of his kind reproducing without a mate and he wants his Prince to have a say since, well, they'll be mates in the near future. However, perhaps he sprang this one on him too fast...especially since the dinosaur may not be as well versed in the tropical zodiac as him and his mother.
It's how he got his name after all, and he wishes to continue that trend.
After a moment of watching his future mate ponder, the young Mothra says, "Well, maybe I can tell you about the zodiac signs if that's hanging you up. I-I mean, it shouldn't be too hard to-"
"Isn't Scorpio one of them?" Junior asks, tilting his head to look at his Princess.
"Um, y-yeah," Leo stutters, caught off guard from the interruption.
The young dinosaur rolls the name inside his head before saying, "Mothra Scorpio...flows like a river."
The larva looks at him before letting out a series of chirps akin to a laugh which makes the monster prince blink in confusion. After a few moments of hearing those cute chirps, the dinosaur asks, "What?"
"You...you want 'Scorpio' as his name?" Leo replies to his Prince, still letting out a couple of chirps.
"Is...is it bad?" Junior asks, feeling a bit ashamed that he even offered it up.
