Drowning [Birch]

Planning for the future... it seemed like a good plan. As Birch looked upon ?owyn he felt his heart begin to beat even faster. The future. A pack. A home. A mate. Thoughts began buzzing in his head. Their flirting had gotten the russet brute's hopes up... and he began hoping, with all of his heart, for more. His face felt warmer as he gazed at her, waiting for her to speak, waiting to hear her words. Perhaps even more. Birch's heart would skip a beat at this, and he would swallow, searching for his words.

Love at first sight... he had never considered such a thing before. He had only ever thought of being the one protecting everyone else... protecting their families. Starting one of his own,though it was a secret hope, had often been put off in his mind. Though he had considered fae's pretty before he had never went so far as to flirt like this, or to think of them possibly being a mate... but... with ?owyn things seemed to be natural. Seemed to fit into place.

Slowly Birch would find his courage. His gaze would become incredibly soft and gentle, and the brute would lean in, warm tongue sliding over ?o's muzzle. There was a reflection in his eyes that showed he understood her desire... and showed his own.

"?owyn..." Birch set his paw on her own. His heartbeat was pounding in his ears, and he was nervous... but at the same time he felt sure. "I... I want to be by your side. I want to be your Mfamle... to make you happy... and make a wonderful pack with you that will be beyond both of our wildest dreams." The pack was hers to make, but Birch would stand by her side and assist her however he could.
