Jade Fern Grove sunshine riptide, you came in like a wave when I was feeling alright

Ali resisted the urge to snort in amusement at Lennon's small outburst. All amusement was forgotten, however, when he felt his companion's muzzle against him-- the touch sent sparks through his skin, melted away the hurt confusion from earlier. Then he began to speak, and slowly the boy's eyes widened.

You're serious? Alarian didn't wait for a response. He pressed himself against Lennon softly, curling into the other the way he wished he could every night.
It wasn't the outcome he had expected from this meeting, but you'd never catch this boy complaining. In hindsight, Ali realized he had been overreacting just a little. But he would make up for it, as best as he could.
He nuzzled into his companion affectionately. I love you, Lennon.
