(Tug's POV)
I told him, spilled out the contents of my heart and what did he do? Just sat there staring at me. What if he doesn't feel the same way? I should have kept quiet. Shaking slightly I got his attention, and asked him to do something, anything. His paw stroked the side of my face and before I knew it he had kissed me. Relief washed over me. I couldn't believe it, he wanted me too. Munk grinned in a half sheepish half embarrassed way as we broke apart. This time it was me who made the move. I pulled him back towards me and softly kissed his gentle lips.
A gasp at the door caused us to break apart. Demeter had seen us and by the look on her face we were going to have to talk about this later. I moved towards Demeter to explain and just in time too, Jenny, Lonzo and Old D came in.
"He's awake, thank the EC," Jenny ran to Munk.
"Thank Exotica," I corrected, leaning against the wall, "She's the one who stopped the bleeding."
Old D stepped forwards,
"How are you feeling son?" he asked.
"Better, Tug erm, he was just...explaining what happened. I don't really remember a lot," he blushed slightly no doubt thinking that it was good Demeter had gotten here before Deuteronomy. I smiled at Demeter but she just eyed me suspiciously.
"I'm so relieved that you're ok Munk," Old D said.
"I'll be fine," he said quietly.
Old D stood up again,
"Well Jenny I don't know about you but I could do with a drink. Shall we leave Munk to rest?"
Jenny nodded.
"Well I could do with some sleep myself," Lonz laughed, "Are you coming Dem?"
"You go ahead, I just want to talk to Munk a moment," she said.
"Ok," after a moment's hesitation he kissed her on the cheek then darted out of the room.
"You go girl," Munk grinned cheekily. Dem blushed but quickly got back to what she wanted to say.
"Don't think you can make me forget what I saw," she said with a raised eyebrow, "I know you're gay, but going after Tugger? Seriously?"
"Hey what's wrong with me?" I demanded indignantly, then something else sunk in, "She knows already?"
Munk squirmed uncomfortably.
"So you told her before me?" I demanded.
"Well, it came up sooner," Munk mumbled not meeting my gaze.
"Hey, this isn't important at the moment," Dem said firmly, "I want answers.
"Me too, what in Heaviside's name is wrong with me?"
Dem ignored me and stared at Munk.
"Dem, he loves me, I love him," Munk said in a way of explanation, "Can you not tell anyone at the moment? I'd rather tell the others in our own time."
"Fine Munk," she kissed his forehead, "And you two have my blessing. Now you have to concentrate on getting better and that means you'll have to let someone else do the protecting for a bit."
Munk groaned but a glare from Demeter changed his tune,
"Fine, tell Alonzo he's got the job."
Dem nodded and stroked his forehead. Walking to the door she paused alongside me,
"You dare hurt him and I'll...."
"I get the idea sweetheart and I'd never hurt him."
Dem nodded in approval and left the room. I sat beside Munk again,
"Alone at last eh?" Munk grinned.
"Shut up and give me a kiss."
"Oooh someone's impatient," he grinned.
"Yeah well, who wouldn't be if they had someone like you," I walked towards his bed and was about to sit down when Misto walked in. I ran a paw through my mane and headed back towards the door.
"Heard you were awake Munk, came to see how you were feeling," Misto smiled.
"I'm fine, now anyway."
"Had us all worried, especially Tugger here. Probably hasn't mentioned it though, would destroy his image."
"Watch it Misto." I smirked.
"The Rum Tum Tugger is a terrible bore," Misto sang cheekily.
"Why you little..."
Misto giggled and ran out of the infirmary, "Feel better soon Munk," he called.
I shook my head, "Cheeky kit, should respect his elders.
"So you're an elder now Tug?"
"Don't you start mister," I sat back on the bed and moved to kiss him. He pulled back,
"Tug, I hate to say this, but I don't think this is the right place, everyone keeps popping in to check on me."
I nodded,
"Well, I've got an idea. Until you get better, you're coming to stay in my den."
He smiled as I scooped him up gently into my arms,
"I love you Tug," he whispered.
"I love you too Munku."
