On pins and needles

Awaken gave a pitiful wimper. "never stixking my head in a hole around these parts again!" He whined. He looked back tward the direction the porqupine went. Stupid pokey rat! He attempted to crack is usual charming smile but the motion made the quills wallow deeper and cause him to grimac.

"Oh please do! Ive gotten myself into all kinds of messes but thisis by far the worst!" He ploped down on his belly, pawing at the quills trying to dislodge some. He failed, causing more blood to hit the ground. But, then that smell. Not this again.

Awaken grimaced. He didn't know how much longer he could take it! He'd been holding everything in since they first met. His body began to heat up, he felt as if he were on cloud nine. Gargoyles words of advice came into mind about timing and not acting too soon but he could just feel it in his stomach. Today was the day he maned up.?

"Merci... I just can't take it anymore. Im sorry ive been avoiding you. It's just... I-.. He sighed, wanting nothing more than to just curl up with her and show her what he felt. "I LOVE YOU MERCI!" He'd finaly said/yelled it. But fear of how she'd take it overwhelmed him. "Merci... Will you do me the honor of being my mate?" ?
