The Future
03-17-2014, 12:53 PM
A lot had been on his mind lately. He and Ashtoreth were officially mates now, as the ceremony had made it official. He was proud to call her his mate, for he wanted no one else by his side ever. With those thoughts, however, came the other lingering thoughts about their future. It was something he always thought about, and he wondered if she often thought about it too. They were both getting older, they had both loved each other for a long while now, and he was starting to think about the more serious things of their future together. The ache in his mind and heart at missing her pulled him along, pulling him straight to the den they shared together. All the while his mind started becoming more scattered as nervousness about mentioning it began to overcome him. He would try to shake it away, however, as it was an important thing he had to know.
The den would come into sight minutes later, his heart pounding more at the prospect of seeing his beloved Ashtoreth. His tail would begin to wag, his pace quickening as he caught her scent. It was intoxicating, calming, it lulled him into a state that could both make him scatterbrained and tongue tied, as well as calmed and more sure of himself. Upon entering the den, deep blues would see her form lying at the back of their chosen den. He would move quietly towards her, wondering if she was napping or if she was resting. Either way, he approached with quiet certainty and gently kissed the top of her head. "Ashtoreth, sweetheart..." He murmured, unsure of what to say. Instead, he lowered himself to press against her back, resting his head upon her back and giving her shoulder a soft lick. He held her close, head draped over her shoulders as if embracing her.
He loved her to no end, adored her like tomorrow would never come. He could no longer imagine a life without Ash, his Ash. And with that came the wondering of what life would be like with her if they had children. He was afraid, however, at the thought as well as excited. He had never really been around children, had never really thought about being a father, but it couldn't be too hard, right?
