A Diamond In The Rough

The oasis was beautiful, even in the middle of winter and in a desert. A little paradise getaway that he and Enki could share. Maybe it was silly of him to be thinking of marriage so soon, but he could see it here. Underneath the palm trees and playing in the pool of water. It might be too hot in the summer, and the spring might be too soon, but the fall? That would make for a beautiful wedding.

He returned to Enki as he spoke, smiling at him and enjoying the breeze as it passed. Joining him and snuggling up close underneath his foreleg, Tazzy sighed contentedly. This was perfect, absolutely perfect. "I bet the sunset is beautiful here... could we stay and watch it?" he asked with wide, begging puppy eyes as he gazed up at his boyfriend, knowing it wouldn't take much to convince to him stay now and even again later when he'd convince him that it was too late to go back and that they should just stay here and enjoy this little slice of tropical paradise.
