Zane POV
I awoke to someone nudging my shoulder with a cold wet nose.
I slowly open my eyes to see once again, Tanner, but he wasn't the one waking me up.
Then I roll my neck around to see Humphrey standing over me.
I slowly stand up as not to wake Tanner. Then follow Humphrey from the den.
"Is there a reason you woke me up?" I ask in a tired tone.
"Well, could you help me with something?" He asks.
Still tired I nod my head yes. Although unaware of what I would end up doing, I was ok with helping.
"Well, since training started Kate and I haven't had much time, and since tomorrow we are having a day off, I wanna do something special, but I don't know what." He said.
"Be spontaneous. Nothing is ever better, well not that I can think of at the moment. Just let the night flow, don't plan to much, but don't go into without any idea of what you are going to do." I say quickly followed by a yawn.
"Thanks Zane." He says as he trots away.
I raise a brow. What? That's it?! That's why you woke me up? I scream mentally.
I roll my eyes and return to my den.
Upon entering I see Tanner, still sound asleep.
Although my focus was disrupted.
I noticed he had a... Very... uh noticeably erect... Sexual appendage.
I then try to ignore that and then lay down, on the side in which his, wolf-hood, was facing the other way.
His back facing me.
As I lay my head on the ground and close my eyes, I hear him stir.
Peaking an eye open I see he is now awake.
Raising my head, he turns to look at me and I catch a blush on his face.
Of course I know why, but say nothing.
"I uh... Um, how did you sleeep?" He asks as a breeze sweeps through the den.
Stifling a laugh, I look at him.
"Very good, and by the looks of it you either had a good dream, or is this something that always happens when you sleep?" I ask with a broad smile.
His blush deepens.
"It was a good dream... A very good dream." He says the last part in a low breath.
I give soft smile this time.
I feel heat in my cheeks now. I was blushing! I never blush.
"Tanner, you got me blushing. I never blush." I say in a fake angry voice.
He laughs.
"Well now, the mighty warrior shows his soft side." He jokes.
I give a small laugh.
"Hey now, you've seen a soft side of me that nobody else has. I rarely show a soft side, but same can be said for, Mr. Rock." I say with an evil smile.
"Alright, alright, I'll give you that one. that was a funny one." He states.
Still laying next to him, I take a risk and scoot over to where our sides are touching.
I feel him tense slightly, but soon relax.
As we lay there, falling into silence I feel him press tighter to me. It feels nice, like it just feels right to be touching him like this.
Closing my eyes, I release a soft sigh.
His fur is so soft, and silky. Perfect really, amazing, incredible.
I tell myself that I am only saying that about his fur, but I know I'm saying it about him.
Tanner POV
Zane and I are laying in his den, after my embarrassing awakening.
He didn't seem bothered by it.
But now we are here laying here, pressed into each other.
His fur is rough, but soft too.
The fur of a warrior. Many fighters in my pack have fur much like his, but his is better.
I hear him let go of a sigh, but pay no mind to it.
As we lay here pressed together, I realize i want more than just being pressed against each other like this... As friends.
More than just friends, together, as a couple. I want that. I know it's only been a few days, but he is so perfect. Caring, but also not wanting to just, train, and be strict.
He is free, does what he wants, but also remaining loyal and doing what is asked of him.
As I go through everything in my head I realize I had be rubbing my head against him.
What I did not expect was for him to lick the top of my head.
"Tanner?" He asks.
I pull my head away and look at him.
"Yes Zane?" I ask.
"I-I uh... This is new for me, but I really... I really like you." He confesses.
Feeling my cheeks get hot I smile.
"Well, I guess you should know... I really like you too." I respond.
He looks a little shocked to be honest. Like he didn't expect me to feel the same, but same could be said for me.
"So... Uh, would you like to uh... Maybe... Be my uh... Boyfriend?" He asks nervously.
Almost shocked by the suddenness of his question I nod yes.
He gives a weak smile in response and I take my chance and snuggle tightly to him.
I feel his head lean over me and I smile.
Zane POV
Never thought I'd say this, but I have a boyfriend.
It's so weird to say, but it feels right, to say Tanner is the one I call my boyfriend now.
"Tanner, should we let the others know, or keep this a secret for now?" I ask.
"Uh... Let's keep it a secret for now." He says.
We fall back into silence for a second then I freeze in fear.
"Keep what a secret?" I hear a voice ask.
Upon looking up I see Garth.
What is it with others interrupting my time with Tanner today?
A/N: Well there ya have it. I'm going to try and update more often again, but I am busy so no promises.
Later. KidCountry out.
