Redtail Rise Oxytocin

So much awkwardness

    The ragged wolf beamed a wide and toothy grin when Wynter had found the flower to be 'perfect'. So much win! He had spent his entire morning rooting through the poppies for a flower that reminded him of her... and only one of the many passed the test.  "Here," he said, taking the delicate flower back up in his jaws.  Gently, he threaded the stem though Wynter's fur behind her ear.  "Beautiful, just like you." With a wide grin, Reek gave his companion a quick kiss on the cheek before settling back into his spiel.

     "Y-you what?" Shot Reek quickly in a somewhat surprised tone.  Sure, he knew she cared, but Reek had half expected rejection at the paws of the agouti.  The bastard was fishing far out of his league... getting a bite of reciprocation came as a pleasant surprise.  "You do?" he asked incredulously, smile stretching from ear to ear.

     "You know Wyn, I always figured by now I would have settled down, started a family, and gotten domestic, but I had never found any wolf I really cared to spend my time with.  Until I met you, of course."  Reek shifted back and forth in a nervous rhythm. It was time to make things official. "So, like, are we a thing?  —I'd like to be a thing.  We don't have to put any labels on it if you don't want to.  But, I'd like to settle down... with you."
