just forget the world

Honestly Venom had no idea what kind of pomp and circumstance might be expected in the wedding of an Empress but she didn’t care. She was forging her own path, and that path led here. To this mystic cave that made you feel close to the earth. Venom felt like here beside him her senses were alight, and more attune to her surroundings and the wolf at her side. The prim and proper title of empress was left at the threshold. Now she was a more primal and pure version of herself. Right here the outside world didn’t exist, for now only the two of them mattered.

A shy smile played at her lips when he leaned closer at the touch of her tail. Sunset gaze watched as Hattori easily grabbed the bottle of sake and expertly removed the stopper. He seemed to agree with her as he gave her his attention and the bottle to begin the night. Venom grinned up at him as dainty paws grasped the offered flask. As she took a sip Venom closed the distance between them and leaned her shoulder against his. Stealing his warmth and affection as she passed the sake back to her betrothed.

The thought was still foreign and exciting, and made a nervous tingle rise up in her throat. Perhaps that was just the warmth of the liquor rushing down. Still the thought lingered, here she was right next to the man she longed after for so long. The one that appeared in her life suddenly but was such a perfect fit that she didn’t wish to see him leave. ”My life wouldn’t be the same without you.” She whispered to him quietly as she snuck one pale paw over his dark furred toes. Her gaze drifted from paws to the sky that could be seen overhead. The moon would reach its highest heights soon. She returned her gaze to his features suddenly, ”Now that you’re going to take me as your wife, will you tell me your name?” She pestered him again lightly, resisting the urge to nip playfully at his chin.
