“Really Together”
November 18, 2014
Skipper and Marlene smiled as they finished decorating the small natal pohon in her habitat. Once they’d finished wrapping thin garlands and LED lights around it and hanging tiny hand-made ornaments, they stood back and admired their work.
“Well,” Skipper said, taking her oleh the waist from the side, “I think it turned out pretty well.”
Marlene smiled and rested her paw on his chest. “I think so too. I had a good time decorating it with you.”
Skipper looked back to the tree. “You too, Marlene,” he replied. “Let’s turn off the lights and see how well the LEDs do,” he said, releasing her and crossing the room. Marlene prepared to plug up the natal pohon lights. “Ready?”
Marlene nodded and Skipper turned off the lights as Marlene pushed the plug into the wall. The pohon glimmered with soft golden, red, green, blue, white, and lavender light. Marlene and Skipper returned to the front of the tree, smiling at its beauty.
“If only I had an malaikat to put on top,” Marlene sighed.
Skipper thought for a moment and turned to her. “I don’t know. I don’t think you’d find it comfortable up there,” he berkata with a smile. She met his eye for a moment and then looked away, her cheeks burning. Skipper took her oleh the waist again. “Come on, anda have to admit anda totally walked into that one.”
Marlene awkwardly fiddled with his chest feathers, not meeting his eye. “I hate how anda know just how to make me bashful,” she berkata quietly.
Skipper smiled humorously and pulled her closer so her ear was just selanjutnya to his beak. “But anda also kind of like it, right?” he berkata softly.
Marlene bit her lip and nuzzled into his neck. “Maybe a little,” she replied in a whisper.
Skipper looked at the back of her head out of the corner of his eye with a smile. “I guess this would make our first natal together. Really together.”
Marlene rested herself against him. “Yep. To think, just last year, we wouldn’t have believed our relationship would come this far.”
Skipper pulled away so he could look into her eyes. “And if we would’ve never had that argument, we wouldn’t have fully realized how much we care about each other.”
Marlene smiled and Skipper pressed his forehead to hers.
“Can I at least have a bintang to put on the tree?” Marlene asked.
Skipper smiled suavely. “I wouldn’t dare take the stars out of your beautiful eyes.”
Marlene pressed her lips together as lebih heat rushed into her cheeks and she shoved him, but Skipper tightened his grip on her waist.
“Come on, anda walked into that one too,” he berkata with a laugh.
Marlene looked down smiling, without giving an answer. Skipper looked at the tree.
“I almost forgot,” he said, releasing her waist. “Kowalski innovated the lights. Observe.”
Skipper double-clapped his flippers together and the pohon began to gently flicker the soft lights at the tempo of a calm snowfall. He turned to Marlene, who was smiling at the pohon with the lights dancing in her eyes and off her fur. She turned to him and he slipped his flippers around her waist again with a warm smile.
He glanced at her lips and slowly leaned closer until his beak just grazed them. Marlene wrapped her arms around his neck invitingly and Skipper held her tighter as they slowly kissed in the dancing natal pohon lights.
