Morning came once more, and this time it found Ganta still curled up within the den next to Roza. They had talked through most of the storm and the pale brute had never been more thankful for the company. Besides that, Ganta thought to himself, they had shared their true feelings for one another. If anything it made him all the more determined to secure Roza a home, to give her the pack he’d dreamed of. It wasn’t just for himself… and that, he thought, was what made Dragoste all the more beautiful. He leaned over to Roza and gently nibbled upon her ear, not wanting to startle her awake though he yearned for her company once more. They had even talked about her going back to see some of her family… and Ganta fully expected himself to escort her most, if not all, the way. He didn’t want anything to happen to her and Gods forbid it if she ran into danger. He’d personally be making whoever tried to hurt her into a new chew toy. “Roza?” Ganta hummed softly. “What do you want for breakfast?” "Talk" "You" Think

She had never been one to have a hard time falling asleep, but that night had been even easier than normal. She felt so content and so at peace with Ganta at her side that it had been an easy thing to get a deep night's sleep. Her mother had disappeared early in her life so she didn't remember much of her or her interactions with her father, but she had to wonder if this is what her parents had been like once upon a time. So in love and so at ease with each other that even the simple everyday things felt extraordinary. Ganta's gentle nibbles at her ear slowly and reluctantly pulled her out of her sleep. Her pale blue eyes barely opened, just enough to sleepily look at her love's face. A little smile tugged at her lips from the sight of him and she let her eyes close again as she hummed thoughtfully in response to his question. "Whatever is convenient," she replied once she decided that there wasn't any one thing that sounded particularly good. She opened her eyes a little bit again with a smile, lifting her head so that she could press her nose to Ganta's cheek and nuzzle his neck. "Roza" "Abbey" Think

Ganta chuckled softly when Roza finally gave her verdict. Nothing in particular called to her this morning, so the young man could find whatever happened to be close by so they weren’t apart for too long. He could feel it in his bones that soon, soon Dragoste would be formed. He had more courage than ever now and was looking forward to creating the pack with Roza by his side. In his mind he could already see potential festivals, times of fun, of love… It made him happy. But mostly, the young man thought, just knowing they’d have a home, a place for the two of them, made Ganta all the happier. “Alright, whatever is convenient it is!” He felt a shiver of delight run down his spine as Roza nuzzled his neck, and the urge to forget breakfast, at least temporarily, was too much as the young wolf began to lavish his love with kisses and nuzzles of his own as his multicolored tail thumped the earth behind him. Even if it was just the two of them in Dragoste, the paradise he wanted to create, Ganta knew it’d be enough. All he needed was already by his side. "Talk" "You" Think

A girly giggle left her as her love replied to her little nuzzle with a flurry of nuzzles and kisses of his own. Her tail swished back and forth against the ground, moving around the dust that covered the dirt floor without paying much mind to the fact that it was getting her tail dirty in the process. She had never felt so happy and so comfortable with anyone in her whole life. Usually she was so concerned about what others thought that it was hard for her to just relax and be herself. But with Ganta that had never been a problem or a concern. With Ganta life was so simple and so easy. She could look at him and have no doubts that they would be together forever. They would live in Dragosite together and spend the rest of their days in each other's company.

Maybe one day they would even start a family. Their children would never wonder if they loved them and would never have to wonder why they left. She would be as loyal of a parent as her own father was and she had no doubt in her mind that Ganta would do the same. She scooted a bit closer to Ganta so that she was close enough to press her face into the thicker fur on Ganta's neck and rest one of her paws over his. "I'm not really that hungry... if you want to wait on breakfast for a little while," she said softly. She blushed a little as she nuzzled his neck and gently, lovingly groomed the fur there. Her thoughts led to a place she had never thought of before and she was nervous but happy. "Maybe a little more than a little while?"

-fade?-

Ganta gave a warm rumble as he heard Roza giggle. It did his heart good to hear her so happy. All that truly mattered to him in the end was keeping her happy, keeping her safe... He’d stay by her side every day and love on her dearly. She deserved that and more, especially if Ganta’s opinion counted for anything at all. But he was surprised when he heard her words. Still, Ganta wasn’t going to say no. Not to Roza. His heart began to rush in his chest, his own thoughts wandering both scary and exciting paths for the two of them. “If it’s what you want, my dear, you know it’s yours.” The brute shifted his silvery-white eyes towards her with a warm smile. “You know I have all the time in the world for you.” He felt a little nervous too, but undoubtedly happy as his tail began to race a mile a minute behind him. This was their time. -Fade- "Talk" "You" Think
