From Littermates to Lovers
Cassardis sighs heavily, pacing back and forth in the kitchen of he and Sariel’s newly acquired home, somewhere on the outskirts of Burrowgatory, stopping every few minutes to glance into the living room.
He wanted to… he needed to talk to Sariel. He needed to tell her how he felt after so many years of being just… friends.
‘I don’t want to be just Littermates anymore but, how do I tell her how I feel? Do I just come out and say it? Should I have asked her out on a date first?’ He wondered.
“I’ll just come out and tell her.” Cassardis said to himself, taking a deep breath.
“Sariel, can we talk?” He asks, stepping into the living room and making his way over to the couch.
Sariel blinks a few times, stopping mid pet, causing the Ryudra in her lap to softly growl and nudge her hand with his head.
“Uhm, sure! What did you wanna talk about?” She asks, tilting her head curiously, tail resting on the couch as she continues to pet Kamui’s head.
Cassardis sighed heavily then sat on the couch beside Sariel, reaching out to pet Kamui, the Ryudra’s, head himself; chuckling softly when the Ryudra wrapped his whole body around Cassardis’s hoof, wanting to be petted more.
Cassardis glanced at Sariel and their eyes met, making his breath hitch for a moment, she looked like she had gotten a bit closer than she was when he first sat down. ‘
Or did I just scoot too close to her myself?’ He wondered, staring at Sariel’s face, then at her tail, then at her face again.
‘She looks…so beautiful. How am I going to do this without seeming weird?’ Cassardis wondered, trying to find the words.
Sariel blinks a few times and tilts her head, frowning slightly.
‘Cass looks like he’s struggling really hard.’ She thought, reaching out and taking his hoof in hers and patting it gently.
“Cassardis, are you okay? What you wanna talk about…isn’t bad is it? Because if it is, we can always talk about it later if you want.” Sariel offered, not wanting to force him to talk about whatever it was.
Cassardis sighed and shook his head, gently patting Sariel’s hoof himself. “No it’s…it’s nothing bad. I just…” Another sigh escaped him as he ran his other hoof through his fur tuft.
The Ryudra looked between Cassardis and Sariel, before floating up and gently wrapping his body around Cassardis’s shoulders, nuzzling into his neck, or nuzzling his face, making soft growling sounds as a way to try and reassure him.
Cassardis chuckled and reached up, gently petting Kamui’s head. “Thanks Kamui.” He says, returning his attention to Sariel and taking a deep breath.
“It’s just that…we’ve been together for as long as I can remember. You’ve been my best friend for years. Hells, we even arrived in Burrowgatory together.” Cassardis began.
‘Shit, I hope this is the best way to start. Where do I go from here? Do I just…come out and ask her?’ Cassardis wondered, glancing at Sariel again.
Sariel was busy petting Kamui’s head but she would look up at Cassardis every now and then, a soft smile on her face and a nod to show that she was still listening to him.
Another warm blush spread across Cassardis’s face as he gazed at Sariel, subconsciously checking her out, which made his face even warmer.
Kamui made a noise that sounded like something between a purr and a chuff as he rubbed his head against Sariel’s hoof, nuzzling Cassardis’s cheek every now and then for even more reassurance.
Cassardis carefully and gently removes the Ryudra from his shoulders, setting him on the couch beside him, scooting closer to Sariel and gently placing his forehead against hers before leaning in and kissing her deeply, pulling away and placing his hooves against her cheeks before placing his forehead against hers again.
“I was wondering if you’d be my girlfriend.” Cassardis says, gently caressing Sariel’s cheeks as he gazed into her eyes.
Sariel stared at Cassardis, mouth agape and eyes wide, warmth spreading through her cheeks as she began to deeply blush, her tail wagging behind her. To say that Cassardis had caught her off guard was an understatement.
The whole room was silent for a while as Sariel tried to process what just happened.
Cassardis chuckled, a sly grin upon his face. “You have time to think about it. No need to rush. I can wait.” He teases.
Sariel blinks a few times, “I uhm…” Her face got warmer as she squeaked and covered her face with her hooves.
“O-okay. I-I wouldn’t…I don’t mind…” She huffed. Now she kind of felt like she was being silly.
‘Just say yes!’ Sariel thought, scolding herself.
“I’ll be your g-girlfriend.” Sariel answered, peeking through her hooves at Cassardis.
Cassardis sighed with relief, laughing softly before reaching out and removing Sariel’s hooves from her face, holding them as he leaned in and kissed her deeply, passionately, slipping his tongue into her mouth.
Kamui, the Ryudra, chuffed and covered his face with his tail, watching as his owners made out on the couch before deciding that finding his favorite pillow to sleep on would be a really good idea right now, as he floated out of the room.
Sariel moaned into the kiss, her arms around Cassardis’s neck, as she felt his arms around her waist.
Pulling away she panted softly, trying to catch her breath, laughing as she placed her forehead against Cassardis’s.
“So~ how long have you been wanting to ask me to be your girlfriend?” Sariel asked, looking at Cassardis curiously, a large smile across her face as she gently rubbed her nose against his, her tail entwining with his.
Cassardis scoffed. “Longer than I thought if I’m completely honest.” He says, chuckling softly as he stands up.
“Since this confession was such a big success, I believe that… we should celebrate. How about we go on a date? I know a really good restaurant nearby that we can go to. What do you say, kitten?” Cassardis asks.
Sariel blinked and blushed, he had already come up with a pet name for her?! ‘I wonder how long he was planning on calling me that.’ She thought, taking his hoof and standing up.
“I think that’s a great idea! Let’s go, let’s go!” Sariel exclaimed, practically dragging him out of the house, making sure to grab the house keys on the way out.
Sooo, I wanted to do something cute for the Bunny Love prompt and I really, really hope my idea got across what they are to each other despite the title being kinna obvious. XS
