Azariah didn't disappoint when it came to her reaction to his plans. The joy and amazement that lit up her face was something that he wished he could capture and make sure she got to experience for the rest of time. He understood the saying that the dark days make the bright ones even better, but he never wanted her to experience those dark days ever again. He only wanted her to feel happiness and joy and love. A wide, crooked grin lit up his face at her reaction, his own tail brushing and swishing through the sand and leaving a semi-circle mark behind in his excitement. He couldn't tell what of the languages she had spoken, but it didn't matter. He could tell that she was pleased with his surprise all the same and that was all that mattered. The lightning bugs were beautiful and they brought back the same sort of magic that had been around them when they first met, but they were dull in comparison to her. The way her ruby eyes shimmered, the sound of her laughter, the joy she held in her smile, the amazing knowledge that she held in her mind... She was everything he wanted and more. I'm so glad you like it, my love," he replied softly before she looked back out over the water at the fireflies as they dances and floated though the air. It looked as if the stars had floated down to put on a show for them over the water and it painted the most beautiful, picturesque scene he could have asked for. He couldn't quite bring himself to look at it though. He glanced up at the fireflies for a moment, but his silver eyes kept getting brought back to his lover as he continued to hold her snuggly against his chest. He examined everything about her that he could see from the way that the gray of her ears faded into the white of her forehead to the little scars that peeked though the fur on her muzzle. Even her flaws made her even more wonderfully perfect in his eyes. She was his and that was all that mattered. They had each other and if he might be lucky enough to spend the rest of his days at her side then he would consider himself the most blessed man alive. There was one more thing he had to do here though - the whole thing that had sparked this idea and his desire to give her the most amazing backdrop he could possibly imagine. Remembering why he had brought her here brought back some of those anxious nerves and made his heart flutter in his chest. He placed a gentle lick across her ears, grooming them carefully for a few moments as he steadied himself before he finally let his forelegs untangle from her and gently placed her own feet back on the ground as well. He stood and came around to be able to face her more easily. He hoped that he didn't look too nervous as he sat on his haunches across from her, but he knew that he couldn't hide his emotions from her. Sometimes it felt like she could read his mind, but it was something that he loved about her. He felt like he could always be himself around her because she was always going to figure out what was going on anyway. "Azariah... Since I met you, I've felt like I'm finally whole. You've completely changed my life in the very best ways... I never really believed that I would love someone the way that I love you, but... I do. I love you more than I could have ever imagined." He had trouble searching for the right words despite all the thinking and rehearsing he had done in the days prior. Now that he was actually sitting here face to face with the woman he loved every practiced word flew out of his brain. Even though his words stuttered and hesitated, he hoped that he was getting across just how much she meant to him. "But... I don't want to just love you. I want you to be with me for the rest of our lives... I want to be with you for every single day, whether it's good, bad, beautiful, or ugly. I want you to be a part of my family forever. I want us to have our own beautiful family and make our own mark on this world together." His ears folded back nervously as he glanced down, reaching to gently left her left paw with his right, holding her paw in his as his eyes found hers again. "Azariah... will you marry me?" |
