You shine brighter than the stars

The way Ike questioned the luck he claimed he had for managing to get her as his partner and how she insisted they had meant to be only made him love her more. He had put a lot of effort into their growing relationship—more than he had ever really thought he would ever put into a relationship—so perhaps it was less luck and more persistence, but he still felt lucky to have met her at all. She had changed his entire outlook on what love and relationship could be and it was so exciting knowing that this was just the beginning. He couldn't wait to look back on this moment a year, two years, five years from now. The idea that they had a whole life time to spend together stretching out ahead of them was mind boggling, but he finally felt like he knew what his purpose was and he was excited for his future at Ike's side. He didn't want to get too ahead of himself, still wanting to enjoy this moment and remember every moment, but it still felt so freeing knowing that how he felt about her was finally out in the open and that she felt the same.

He couldn't help the grin that split across his features when she told him again that she loved him, sending his heart into those wild flutters again while his tail wagged happily behind him. "Alright, well... if not the luckiest then at the very least the happiest," he told her with a chuckle. The joy and the high of everything falling into place had him feeling like he was floating on air. His paw gently pulled her into another kiss, caressing her cheek as he pressed forward into a tender, passionate kiss, his ruby and emerald gaze slipping closed. Every time they kissed his resolve to keep himself reined in and not push too far waned, the warmth of her soft lips and the taste of her tongue only drawing him in more and more. Now that there was the added excitement and deep, newly tapped love added to that mix it was even more difficult to hold himself back.

But, as their kiss deepened and a soft rumble of delight sounded form his chest, he started to wonder why he was trying so hard to keep himself in check. He loved her and she loved him in return. She wasn't the lanky, clumsy girl he had met back then. She had grown into this ethereal, beautiful woman that he now had the absolute honor of calling his girlfriend. As these thoughts crossed his mind he began to shift without breaking his lips from hers and let one of his strong forelegs slip around her, looping around her lower back as he gently moved them to lay on their sides, pulling her into his chest as he made out with her with deepening desire and heated passion. It was so easy to get lost in her as his paws began to rub along her back, settling into the soft fur they were laying on and enjoying the peace and perfection of this night they had together. After a few long, savoring moments with this heat and fire building ever higher in his core, Remus finally let his lips slip from hers, breathing more heavily while he blinked open his eyes to find hers again with a silent question. He would only ever go as far as she wanted so if she wanted him to stop here he would, but if she wanted more he would give her that too.
