Summary: Diego wants to know just one thing from Sid. And he's damn well going to answer him.

Diego repeated himself, "Do. You. Like. Me?" He narrowed his eyes, watching with amusement as the sloth before him seemed to shrink in fear.

"I don't…I mean…"

"Don't lie to me." Diego growled out, inching closer, breath rushing out and swaying the fur on Sid's cheek. He backed up, instinct kicking in. But the saber moved closer, and closer.

"… … … …"

"Sid. Answer me." Diego moved in again, eyeing the rock behind his friend. He grinned, and growled with each step.

"… …"

"Why aren't you saying anything?!" He demanded, voice pushing Sid backwards, knocking him against the hard cold surface he didn't recall being so close. "Say something, sloth." His tone dug deep into the smaller creature, all anger and impatience and desperation.

"No! If I don't say anything than I won't lie to you." Sid blurted out.

…Crap. Did he say that? The saber let out a low chuckle and nudged Sid's face playfully.

"Say it." He asked, almost begged, in a whisper. "I want to hear you say it." His breath tickled Sid's small ears. The sloth shook, hating the situation, hating the tiger's persistence. If he wanted to hear it, fine! He could hear it and then eat him or hurt him or whatever it is he was planning for him!

"I-I-I-I might…sorta'…kinda'…completely like everything about you…" He let out slowly. There it went, out his lips and into the one person he hoped and prayed would never find out. "I mean…more like, ilove/i everything about you." He laughed out shyly.

He hated and loved that look on the saber's face after the words drifted away. His eyes burned with something like rage…but wasn't. His grin grew, wide and terribly evil. In more ways than one.

"Ha ha…" Diego chuckled. "Well what do you think I should do about that?" His voice whispered in a way that Sid had never heard. It rocked his bones. Oh, that saber so close to him…Sid's heart pounding…

"…not eat me?" He asked weakly, hugging himself tightly and caving into his personal space, which was slowly being taken over by the mammal before him.

"How about…this?" Diego whispered, preventing Sid from saying anything by licking at the side of his neck roughly. The sloth opened his eyes wide, laying his head back as far it could go. Wow…so that's what this feels like…

"Do you like that?" Sid could barely nod as tongue lashed out once more. His skin tingled and burned so nicely when Diego stopped. "Good. Cause I kinda', sorta', completely love you too." He let his nose nuzzle against that soft fur.

"Oh, Diego. I had no idea-ioooohh/i." And there was the spot. "Oh please do that again." He begged, pulling the saber's head in closer. He held on tightly, refusing to let him go.

"Only if you promise to be all for me…for the rest of our lives, Sid." Diego asked, putting their foreheads together and bumping noses. Sid laughed and pulled him even closer. The sloth stood stuck between a rock and an amazingly gorgeous sabertooth tiger.

"I promise." He said proudly. How could he say no to ithat/i amazingly heart-stopping face?
