Description This picture took about a week, simply because I kept puting it off. Mind the full view, its a biggin'.

-----------------------------------------------

GlitterWing let out a sigh, shifting a little as he yanked at the covers, offering more of the sheets to his grabbing. Her head turned to look at him. Somewhere in her hazy mind she remembered breaking up with her mate months ago and secluding herself on the island for about a month. She'd even locked herself in her room for a few days and refused to come out except to take care of the basic necessities. Blue had forced her to eat; otherwise she wouldn't have even done that.

"I've been wondering about your philosophy on life... I know it's pretty early for a philosophical discussion... but you try to live with no regrets, right?"

BlueHelix had to think about that question, not because it was a difficult one, but because he was still asleep; if he wanted to give Glitter a good reply he'd have to wake himself up some more. His body felt heavy and numb with sleep, but he tired as best he could to answer her.

"I try not to have any regrets, but they do happen from time to time," he said, his voice raspy and a little dry from sleeping with his mouth open.

Blue rolled over then, his back was to Glitter before, but now he was face to face with the raccoon, or at least he hopped so, his eyes were still closed. GlitterWing reached up a hand to brush at the hair that had fallen in his face while he turned, proving that they were, in fact, face to face, since she could see it. She shifted so that she was lying on her side, fully facing him. Her ears tipped back a little as she thought of how to word her next question without it seeming like she was trying to urge him into anything. That was the last thing the raccoon wanted to do.

"Do you ever wonder if you're going to be 90 years old, on your death bed, and looking back over your life wondering why you never took a mate?"

Blunt and honest as always.

BlueHelix thought over that question as well, he didn't know what it was, but Glitter was right; the thought of being alone at the age of ninety with no one to love him or to miss him scared him. He shifted in the bed, pushing himself against her, his body heavy and slow. Blue wrapped his arms tightly around Glitter and held onto her, taking comfort in her warmth as he opened his eyes.

"...You're right," he said softly. "Be my mate, Glitter... Better yet, marry me? Be my wife..." He wasn't sleeping any longer, he was wide awake and every word that came poring out of his mouth was the truth.

GlitterWing's body stiffened a little as shock hit her, and she drew in a quick breath. It took her a long moment to respond to him, her heart beating fast and hard. Had he really just asked her that? The raccoon slowly put her arms around him, keeping the two of them close together as she turned her blue eyes up to look into his and whispered, "Your wife? Really?"

BlueHelix leaned his nose in to nuzzle against Glitter's, a look of reassurance and foundation in his eyes, he was being as serious as a funeral; that fear of being alone shook him to the core, which was unusual because he had never felt it before until this very moment. He was glad that he did though, it showed him the errors of his ways, he was also glad this realization came from the beautiful raccoon laying next to him in his bed; those eyes of hers shimmering with stars and sparkles as he looked into them.

"Yes..." Blue whispered once more, his nose so close she could feel his hot breath on her pelt. "Be my wife Glitter, marry me and make me the happiest man in the world."

Thank you, the little story is actually a cut from a role play that and I started, so part of that creative credit goes to her as well.

Damn, that's really, really pretty. It has kind of a surreal feeling to it, and thus it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy instead. This is some of your best work yet.
