Shadewood This cold might literally freeze my balls off

All welcome! Perhaps someone who isn't too close? Or someone who knows him can hop on in! Perhaps....@Phex? Since that's who he's searching for lmao

It was freezing. That was his literal first thought and that alone pissed him off. He had woken up to the most bitter cold morning he had ever felt. The pads on his paws ached and the air stung his eyes and lungs as wind blew and made it even worse. "Fucks sake Winter, cut it out will ya?" he frumped out loud as he stood up and regretted it because now he felt the cold more. After a few moments of just glowering at the outside of his den he realised that Phex must be freezing, she was so teeny and small and how did she even manage-

but anywho

He figured he would scoot over there and try to cozy up to her. The idea brought a smile to his lips and he stretched, muscles rippling before he set off trying to sniff the piebald girl out. Of course his intentions were pure, he just wanted to snuggle and try to maybe catch some more sleep, have a lazy day after patrolling and hunting and socializing. No way was he trying to just see how her body felt snuggled up against his, he definitely wasn't curious as to whether or not the smallness of her body or the shape of her youthful curves would fit to his like a puzzle piece. 

Another tangent there, slow down Laroche.

He finally caught wind of her scent and began to track it, the breeze doing it's best to put him in a shitty mood again.

Phex, bless her heart, was wandering the woods. Her toes hurt, her nose hurt and even her tail hurt. Still, she decided to patrol despite the freezing cold because Laroche was in her head but not that she was freezing, all she wanted was him. 

Him.

Curled up around her in her den, hell he'd probably be cramped in there because she didn't expect to have a mate to sleep with so soon. Besides her paws hurt.
She'd abandoned her patrol and sought him. His warmth. Making a beeline for his den, actually.

Her whole body turned into electricity when her gaze landed on his form, trudging through the snow looking grumpy but when she got closer, he was smiling. "Laroche!" She called with the biggest grin plastered to her face and bounded the last few steps to him, pressing herself into his chest and rubbing her nose up under his chin, giving him little kisses of greeting. 
"It's fucking freezing what are you doing out?" She pulled back a little to look up at him, a small amount of concern in her eyes.

A warmth spread through his chest as he spotted her, a brighter than ever grin on her pretty face and his tail immediately tapped against the back of his legs. A rumble rose from his chest as she peppered him with kisses and he ran his nose along her cheek, placing his own kiss just below her ear "Hey Sunshine. I could ask the same thing of you" he responded warmly, an all encompassing feeling of home coming over him. Home had always been where he felt like he most belonged and Phex...she was that. Shadewood was secondary, it was this girl that made him feel really at home. "I was looking for you, figured you were probably cold. I was going to offer a...uh..snuggle" he stumbled over the word, testing it out in his head before letting it fall awkwardly out of his mouth. Not the most masculine sounding thing but who cared right?

She grinned up at him, pressing herself closer to him. She was indeed rather cold. “I was patrolling,” she replied simply, “the borders can’t be left even if it is freezing.” Her tail waved softly, trying to ignite some feelings in its tip. Perhaps she should’ve snuggled with her mate in the first place. 

At his stumbling, she beamed, reaching to place another kiss on his cheek. He was so careful with his words, she supposed he wanted to be this grand masculine figure. Not that she cared, she loved him for being him. “I’d invite you to my den but,” phrasing her earlier thought, ”I doubt we’d both fit.” She smiled softly, running her muzzle down his neck, warming her nose in the process. 
She bumped him with her shoulder, wanting to go somewhere — as long as it was warm and had Laroche, she didn’t care.

A surge of pride for the girl warmed his heart, that she was out along the borders even when she probably couldn't feel her toes. He wondered how she would even defend them. Would she fight? Nah...she would probably be cute and try to turn them over to the good side, offering a home and food and love. He almost snorted at the thought and pressed his side against hers affectionately "You're right, business still has to be tended" he agreed warmly. 

At her kiss his lips curled upwards, he was helpless to prevent the smile that formed. His ears perked at her mention of the den and his eyes sharpened, a playful gleam coming into their depths "We could squeeze in together, body to body. All the better for warmth" the teasing tone was there, aiming to get a flustered reaction or even better, the foxy flirting he had gotten the last time that had surprised him so much. "Mine is big enough for two wolves if you'd prefer? You're always welcome" he added in more serious way, wanting her to know she could always come to him if she company.

She smirked at him -- a full smirk that suggested she was going to tease him endlessly. "You're right, it's too cold to not be squished." She laughed softly, turning from him, glimpsing his reaction and starting to trot off in the direction of her den, her tail swishing merrily. 

When they reached her den, she turned back and pressed a kiss to him, "You first, then I won't get squished." Her eyes gleamed with joy, she was gonna get to cuddle! It meant warmth. The fox skin helped but it wasn't enough, not really. She'd tried everything and still on the worst nights she'd debated going to Laroche's den. The only reason she didn't was that she didn't want to push it; though now she wished she'd just gone anyway. 

Ohhhhhohohoho she was a damn tease. He grinned and chuckled, head hanging as he shook it and trotted after her. As he caught up he nipped at her flanks, hoping to gain a reaction from her. He kissed her back and then slipped inside his den, all the way in the back and lay down so she would have room to snuggle up. "Come on in, snuggle up right here" he said, letting the boyish excitement he felt sneak into his voice.

Phex laughed, feeling his teeth gently make contact at her hips. She quickened her pace, making him work for her. She wasn't going to be a pushover, mate or not. Besides, she wanted him to tease her back in the den. What goes around comes around, remember.

She was so excited, hopping from one for to the other as she waited for him to get settled before following after him. She instantly pressed herself up against his side, pressing kisses down his muzzle and cheek. She then tucked her muzzle under his chin, laying her paws over his legs and letting her warmth mix with his. It was so much warmer here; she couldn't figure if it was the den or the reaction she had for Laroche. Her tail thrummed against the ground, not bothering to hide how she felt -- she'd heard the same hint in his voice.
She let her nose press to his neck, inhaling his scent and committing it to memory.
 Safe.

Oof. 


That was how he felt.

He closed his eyes as she kissed his cheek, a rumble of delight vibrating along his vocal chords. She was stirring desires that he wasn't sure she knew of, or perhaps she did and she was slicker than he gave her credit for. He nuzzled her, holding her close against him. "Keep wiggling and moving around like that and we won't be sleeping" he growled, trying to sound stern but instead sounding husky and humored.

For emphasis, she pressed her hip to his side -- for she was small remember. 
She laughed softly, nibbling at the fur behind his ear. 
"What would we be doing instead, hm?" She whispered, leaning to kiss his cheek.

She pressed her self closer to him, her heart beating harder. God, he made her feel hot. She whined softly, wiggling more to see what he'd do.

He groaned and his body stiffened, not because he didn't like it but the complete opposite. He could already feel something stirring between his legs. He chuckled softly and turned his head, his nose coming to push gently against the corner of her lips. He gave her a kiss and then slowly brushed his nose along her muzzle, kissing every so often until his lips came to a stop just by her ear. He quickly nipped at the aud "If you don't stop that this instant, I'll be on top of you" he growled the words softly, warmth in his tone as well as desire. "I'd like to wait on that...until it's special" he admitted. He loved her teasing, he loved being close to her but he would not let their first time be some event of built up tension gone wrong.

The grinned, kissing him again before settling properly, burying her face into his fur. So warm. She would purr if she had the ability. He made her feel hot, made her clench and ache for him. But she knew too, what he meant. She wanted to to be perfect.
Could she get pregnant? There was always the chance, it seemed. 

"Fine." She murmured into his fur, resting against him. She was happy with him. Hoped she always would be. She was his and this was what she wanted. Craved. 
Love.
