shine on evening skyfire

Aldfjalksdf sorry for holding up this thread of awesomeness! Finally got new internet hooked up at home. :)

He closed his eyes as she said yes and when he felt her lips touch his, he licked her muzzle tenderly. The gentle kisses were electric in their intensity, a contact that they had both waited entirely too long to enjoy. He moaned softly and opened his eyes, gazing at her and shaking his head. "No," he murmured softly, feeling drunk and heady with affection and exhilaration. "I'm the one who's honored. I'm the luckiest guy in the world right now." He absolutely could not believe she'd said yes. It was a moment he'd dreamed of for what felt like forever, and to finally have it happening right here, right now…it was surreal. He almost expected to startle awake from yet another sweet dream, dazed and disappointed in his tree den as the woman he loved with the kind of profound passion that brought empires to their knees slept serenely unaware right beside him.

But it wasn't a dream. Stars above, but this was real. He grinned again a moment later, laughter in his eyes, and he waved his tail as he asked, "So…will our sleeping arrangements be less weird to you now?" He giggled and bumped her shoulder playfully. He already couldn't wait to curl up with her tonight, to hold her and protect her and watch her dream for the first time not as his friend, but as his wife.
