Light's Adventures

Chapter 33: Perfect

Light woke up next to Cream from their spot on the couch. Glancing over at the small window, Light saw that the sun was just rising, its sunlight just reaching him. The sky was a clear blue, without a hint of clouds. The warm heat from the sunlight on him told him it would be a good day weather-wise. He hoped it would be much better than just a good day, though. He was still glad that he had been wrong, and that Cream's day was today, not yesterday.

Light gently nuzzled Cream awake. Cream glanced up at Light and gave him a little peck on the cheek before getting up with him to stretch. "Good morning, Light," Cream said, yawning and blinking away the last of her sleepiness.

"Good morning, Cream," Light said, ready to get going. "Would you like to go for a walk?" he asked.

Cream instantly looked more awake. "Okay," she agreed eagerly.

Smiling, Light led Cream outside, using Psychic to open the doors. Once outside, Light started to head toward the place, already imagining Cream's expression. The thought put a spring in Light's step as he took her to her surprise.

"So, Light, where are we going?" Cream asked, walking right beside him as they entered the undergrowth.

Light put on a phony pouting face. "What's wrong? Don't you like taking a walk with me?" he asked, lowering his ears some.

Cream licked him on the cheek and pressed against him some. "I love walking with you, but since when do we take a walk so early in the morning in the forest? And since when do you enjoy walking so much?" Cream asked.

Light grinned. "That would be now," he said teasingly.

"Come on, you know what I mean," Cream said, flicking him slightly with her tail.

"You'll just have to be patient," Light said, giving her a lick on the forehead.

Cream let out a huff and frowned for a second, before grinning also, unable to keep up the charade. Cream took a large sniff of the air, enjoying the morning smells. "It's a lovely day," Cream commented.

"It's going to be a perfect day," Light promised.

"Oh? Really?" Cream asked, still trying to get him to tell.

"Yes," Light said, nuzzling her cheek.

Cream giggled and nuzzled him back before gasping. Light turned his head and smiled as he realized that they were there. Light stepped into the small clearing, motioning Cream to follow him. Cream stepped into the clearing, still staring at the spectacle that was in front of her. Light sat down beside her and looked back up at it.

The sight they were viewing was a small waterfall. About thirty feet away, a fifty foot cliff started, throwing water over its edge onto the small pond below, before heading away in a small stream through the undergrowth. It was a rather calm waterfall, but the extraordinary part was that it made barely any noise, as though it was muffled by something. Surrounding the small pond was the clearing. The clearing had lush, soft grass, unusual with the heavy amount of undergrowth nearby. The blue of the stream went nicely with the bright green grass. All in all, it was an astounding sight.

"Wow," Cream whispered.

"So, how do you like it?" Light asked.

"It's amazing. How did you find it? When did you find it?" Cream asked, still staring at it.

Light chuckled at her reaction. "I had just found it before I had been captured," Light said.

"What were you doing out here?" Cream asked, finally looking at him.

"I was looking for this for you," Light said.

"Aww, that was sweet," Cream said, nuzzling his side. "But you didn't have to do that for me, though."

"Do you know what today is?" Light asked.

Cream paused, a thoughtful expression on her face. "Err, I don't think so," she said, tilting her head.

"Then let me be the first to say Happy Birthday," Light whispered into her ear, a large smile on.

Cream looked confused for a moment before she realized what he meant. "Wait, how do you know today is my birthday?" Cream asked, surprised.

"I had Nick help to find the exact date," Light replied.

"Aww, thanks, Light," Cream said, nuzzling his side again. "But you really didn't need to do all this just for me."

"Well I wanted to. I would do anything for you, Cream," Light said, looking right into her large, brown eyes. "And this place is great. It's quiet, calming, tranquil, and secluded," Light continued, putting an emphasis on secluded.

Cream smiled and nuzzled his side to hide her blush. "Thanks," she said. Suddenly feeling playful, Cream teasingly nipped Light's side before jumping away, a large grin covering her face. Cream crouched down facing Light, her hips and tail waving as she waited for Light to retaliate.

Light crouched also, his grin as wide as hers. Light leapt at Cream, who squealed and jumped out of the way. Laughing, Light chased her around the small meadow, always letting her get away at the last second. Soon, Cream was out of breath, both from laughing and trying to escape Light. As she paused to catch her breath, Light playfully tackled her, scoping her up into an embrace as they rolled on the soft grass. Gasping for breath while trying to stop laughing, Light and Cream collapsed onto the grass next to each other.

"We haven't . . . done that . . . in a while," Cream said between breaths, giggling at the end.

Light chuckled with her. Getting his breath back faster, Light pulled Cream closer and started to tickle her. Cream squirmed under him, unable to stop him with her shorter limbs. After a little, Cream finally managed to get out a plead between her gasps of air and laughter. Light stopped tickling her and pulled her against his side.

After a few minutes, Cream finally got her breathing back under control. "I haven't have this much fun in a long time. Thanks, Light," Cream said, nuzzling his side.

"I'm glad you're enjoying it," Light said, nuzzling the top of her head. Leaning over, Light began to groom Cream's fur back into place with long, slow strokes of his tongue. Cream purred under his treatment and laid fully out, basking in the attention. Light made sure to get her fur perfectly into place, straightening each little strand until it was just right. The combination of all their playing, the warming sunlight on her back, and the rhythmic caressing of Light's tongue soon put Cream in a contented, light doze.

Light gazed fondly at Cream as he finished grooming out her stunning, long fur. Her body was rising and falling slightly as she quietly rested. Her fur seemed to sparkle as the sunlight fell on it, making her look like an angel. He had to be the luckiest Umbreon ever to have her. Smiling, Light curled up next to Cream and pulled her gently against him.

As Light rested his foreleg over Cream, she woke and looked up at him happily. Cream nuzzled Light's cheek and snuggled up closer to Light. "You were right; this is a perfect day, Light," she whispered, not wanting to ruin the moment.

"Happy Birthday," Light whispered, licking her on the forehead. "I love you, Cream."

"I love you, too, Light," Cream whispered back. Cream laid her head against Light's chest, soon falling back asleep.

Light watched her lovingly for a moment, before settling down himself, letting Cream's breathing and the feel of her against him to lure him asleep as the sun kept them both warm.

Light slowly awoke from his doze. Looking down, Light watched Cream as she continued to doze next to him. Even as she slept there was a smile across her face. She looked so content and peaceful. She looked perfect, and in Light's eyes, she was. Right there, Light made a silent vow to keep her safe and happy.

Looking up, Light gaped at the scene in the sky. The sun was just about to set, its lowest point about to hit the tree line. The sun seemed about four times larger than normal and was a blazing yellow, though it wasn't as hard to look at as usual. The sky was painted a dark red, purple following it as night began, while a majestic orange surrounded the sun. The hues made the sky look like a huge canvas, the colors perfectly blending, yet still somehow contrasting, giving it the quality never able to be captured on paper.

Light gently shook Cream, waking her from her slumber. Cream blinked at him happily as she started to awake. "Cream, look up," Light whispered.

Cream, still slightly asleep looked up, gasping at the display. Light smiled at her expression and turned to watch with her. Light placed his head gently on top of hers as they watched the sun start to set. Cream purred quietly as they watched the scene unfold, their tails entwining behind them. Seeing the grand sight in front of him as he cuddled his beautiful Cream, Light thought the moment couldn't be better. This truly was a perfect day.

Soon, the sun was finishing setting, the topmost part sliding below the tree line. The sky was now changing as the deep red lost its dominance, the darker purple hue starting to take over. The signature dark blue of night was now creeping up in the east. The first few stars were now visible in the east. Light could hear a few Volbeat, Illumise, and Ledian starting up their nightly music, setting a soothing atmosphere with the soft sound of the waterfall.

Light looked down and met Cream's eyes. "I love you, Cream, more than anything else. You're the most important thing in my life and I'll do anything for you," Light said, staring into her deep, beautiful, brown eyes.

"I love you, too, Light. You're the most important thing to me, too. Thank you for all this. This was my favorite birthday by far. I'll always cherish this day, Light," Cream promised, touching her nose to his.

"I will, too," Light replied, not bringing up the point that it had been her only birthday.

Closing his eyes, Light closed the tiny distance their lips. Light was wrapped in a total state of euphoria and became lost to the world as he passionately kissed his mate. Time seemed to slow as he enjoyed what then seemed to be the most loving kiss they had ever shared.

Light and Cream slowly pulled away, their eyes still closed as they enjoyed the last moments of it. Light slowly opened his eyes and met Cream's loving gaze. Light nuzzled her cheek and whispered, "Let's get some sleep."

"Out here in the open?" Cream whispered.

Light nuzzled her again and pulled her closer. "Don't worry; I'll watch over you," Light promised, laying his tail over her.

"Okay, I trust you," Cream decided. Cream reached up and licked his cheek. "I love you," she whispered, before lying back against him and closing her eyes.

"And I love you, my beautiful angel," Light whispered back. Light smiled as he saw a smile and a blush appear on her adorable face.

Light protectively curled up around her, Cream cuddling closer as he did. Even though he had just woken up a little ago, his body still seemed plagued with some sort of lethargy and he quickly fell asleep. His last thought was about his perfect Cream.
