This Bed's Big Enough For the Both of Us.

It had become a constant part of his routine to spend the bulk of his time with Dusk and without them ever really saying it out loud they had slowly become the relationship he had been hoping for. He didn't question or hesitate when Dusk told him to follow and she began to lead him up the stairs of the castle to her room. It was far from the first time he had been in the space and he was always content to just be wherever Dusk wanted to be. After all, she was one of the motivations for why he had sought out the Hallows and why he had stayed here. With his family scattered to the wind Dusk had quickly become his world.

Stepping into her room, he immediately noticed a few new additions to the space. Her room had been the same the entire time he had known her so the addition of a new armor rack, another pillow on the bed, and a perch and bed on the far side of the room stood out easily. He looked at them curiously and as he turned around to ask her about them he saw her closing and locking the door behind them. He raised a brow and tipped his head slightly to the side with a silent question, wondering to himself what was going on. Their relationship had been a slow, gradual burn, but Dusk had opened up so much in the time that he had known her and he was a little surprised to see that adorable nervousness she had back before they shared their first kiss coming back to the surface.

Then Dusk presented her proposition for him that probably should have been obvious to him with all of the new additions to her space–she wanted him to move in with her. He was sure the surprise was clear on his face, but it quickly shifted to a delighted grin as he stepped toward her to close the short distance between them. If there had been any doubt in his mind that they were truly in a relationship this certainly proved those doubts wrong. "I would love to," he assured her as he lifted a paw to her cheek, guiding her muzzle to his as he kissed her as if to seal the deal. He lingered there for a moment and when he did finally pull away from her lips he met her gaze again with another grin. "I can't think of anything better than falling asleep and waking up next to you every day."
