“Really Together”
November 18, 2014
Skipper and Marlene smiled as they finished decorating the small क्रिस्मस पेड़ in her habitat. Once they’d finished wrapping thin garlands and LED lights around it and hanging tiny hand-made ornaments, they stood back and admired their work.
“Well,” Skipper said, taking her द्वारा the waist from the side, “I think it turned out pretty well.”
Marlene smiled and rested her paw on his chest. “I think so too. I had a good time decorating it with you.”
Skipper looked back to the tree. “You too, Marlene,” he replied. “Let’s turn off the lights and see how well the LEDs do,” he said, releasing her and crossing the room. Marlene prepared to plug up the क्रिस्मस पेड़ lights. “Ready?”
Marlene nodded and Skipper turned off the lights as Marlene pushed the plug into the wall. The पेड़ glimmered with soft golden, red, green, blue, white, and lavender light. Marlene and Skipper returned to the front of the tree, smiling at its beauty.
“If only I had an एंजल to put on top,” Marlene sighed.
Skipper thought for a moment and turned to her. “I don’t know. I don’t think you’d find it comfortable up there,” he कहा with a smile. She met his eye for a moment and then looked away, her cheeks burning. Skipper took her द्वारा the waist again. “Come on, आप have to admit आप totally walked into that one.”
Marlene awkwardly fiddled with his chest feathers, not meeting his eye. “I hate how आप know just how to make me bashful,” she कहा quietly.
Skipper smiled humorously and pulled her closer so her ear was just अगला to his beak. “But आप also kind of like it, right?” he कहा softly.
Marlene bit her lip and nuzzled into his neck. “Maybe a little,” she replied in a whisper.
Skipper looked at the back of her head out of the corner of his eye with a smile. “I guess this would make our first क्रिस्मस together. Really together.”
Marlene rested herself against him. “Yep. To think, just last year, we wouldn’t have believed our relationship would come this far.”
Skipper pulled away so he could look into her eyes. “And if we would’ve never had that argument, we wouldn’t have fully realized how much we care about each other.”
Marlene smiled and Skipper pressed his forehead to hers.
“Can I at least have a तारा, स्टार to put on the tree?” Marlene asked.
Skipper smiled suavely. “I wouldn’t dare take the stars out of your beautiful eyes.”
Marlene pressed her lips together as और heat rushed into her cheeks and she shoved him, but Skipper tightened his grip on her waist.
“Come on, आप walked into that one too,” he कहा with a laugh.
Marlene looked down smiling, without giving an answer. Skipper looked at the tree.
“I almost forgot,” he said, releasing her waist. “Kowalski innovated the lights. Observe.”
Skipper double-clapped his flippers together and the पेड़ began to gently flicker the soft lights at the tempo of a calm snowfall. He turned to Marlene, who was smiling at the पेड़ with the lights dancing in her eyes and off her fur. She turned to him and he slipped his flippers around her waist again with a warm smile.
He glanced at her lips and slowly leaned closer until his beak just grazed them. Marlene wrapped her arms around his neck invitingly and Skipper held her tighter as they slowly kissed in the dancing क्रिस्मस पेड़ lights.
