(Munk's POV)
Everything was hazy when I finally came back to my senses, as if someone had covered my eyes with gauze. My body was numb except for certain parts, which were waking up with a tingle of pain, my leg to name one. As the gauze lifted away from my vision the numbness also vanished, replaced with throbbing pain.
"I think I preferred being numb," I muttered to myself. Someone stirred at my side and I glanced over to see Tugger.
"You're ok!" he threw his arms round me.
"Erm yeah Tug, I'm ok," I replied slightly bewildered, "I don't usually get this kind of welcome when I wake up from a nap."
"A nap?" Tug said incredulously, "Is that what you think? Let me tell you something, I have been worried sick! You were unconscious, you were bleeding internally and we had to get a healer to save you."
"Wow, all that happened while I was asleep?" I said weakly.
Tugger looked ever so slightly angry,
"We nearly lost you today and is that all you can say? I came this close to losing my best friend!"
"It's ok, I'm fine now," I said reassuringly.
"But you might have..." Tugger cut off as if he couldn't bear to think about it. I pulled him into a hug.
"I just don't want to lose you," he whispered.
"You won't, I'll be around for ages yet. I'll be there to talk to, to annoy you," I grinned wickedly.
Tug pulled away from me,
"To love me?" he asked hesitantly.
"What?" I wasn't quite sure I'd heard right. Tug took a deep breath,
"I know this will sound stupid, maybe even insane but when I thought I might lose you it was then that I realised how much I love you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you."
My jaw practically hit the floor. Here was this handsome tom, my best friend confessing his love for me. All I could seem to do was stare in amazement.
"Erm Munk," Tug was blushing an odd shade of pink, "I just kinda told you my heart's desire. I'd like you to say...um something at least."
He squirmed about uncomfortably. Well if he wanted me to say something then I'd say something.
"You're really cute when you're nervous Tug," I smiled and stroked his face gently before leaning in to kiss him.
