“Hey Fantu, guess what?” The owl was giggling, a whole lot at that.
“Yes?” The thespian responded.
“You’re gay.” He started cackling uncontrollably.
“Yes, and so are you, dear.” He sighed, grinning exasperatedly at the owl. “Matter of fact, we’re gay.”
“Haha I knowww.” The owl purred, nuzzling into the shorter and covering him with feathers.
Fantu kept grinning, petting his lover. Suddenly, Feral remembered something. Something incredibly important. Something so incredibly important that he sprung up from where he was nuzzling Fantu.
“I JUST REMEMBERED I JUST REMEMBERED I JUST REMEMBERED I JUST REMEMBERED I JUST-” The owl was going absolutely crazy.
“Woah there! Hey- calm down, love! What’d you remember?” He queried, trying to get the larger one to chill out.
“I’LL BE BACK I’LL BE BACK GIVE ME A SECOND I GOTTA GET SOMETHING- I NEED TO DO SOMETHING- IT’S A SURPRISE!!! A GOOD SURPRISE!!! A REALLY REALLY REALLY-” And, from there his voice trailed off due to the fact he was so excited he just forgot to finish his entire sentence. He’s a bit of a scatter-brained fella.
“Aaaand.. off he goes… wonder what got him so hyped?” The puppet murmured to himself, giggling slightly.
Suddenly, Feral barreled back into the room on all fours, holding something in his beak, his words all muffled from whatever he was holding.
“I HAVE SOMETHING HOLD ON!!! UHH-… LET ME- JUST- AGGHHHHHHHH!!!” He was getting a little silly.
“Are you- are you good there??” Fantu asked, slightly concerned.
“LET ME FIGURE IT OUT!!! JUST- AHHHH-!” He was just trying to get mentally settled, he’s not very good at this, is he?
“Oh-! Alright then, take your time, love!” He smiled nervously.
Eventually Feral got himself mentally prepared. He was ready. VERY ready.
“Okay.. so.. you know how we’re dating and we’re boyfriends and we- like- love each other a lot?” Feral asked, trying to find the words for what he was trying to do.
“Yeah?” Fantu replied confusedly.
“Well.. uhh.. I’ve been wanting to ask you this…” His voice quieted as he got off of all fours, took what he was holding in his beak out, and got down on one knee. “Would you- uh..!” He teared up slightly, a mixture of nervousness and slight excitement. “Will you marry me..?” He held out the object, it was a box. “You’re the love of my afterlife and I wouldn’t wanna spend it with anyone else.” He smiled nervously, his eyes slightly teary with so many different emotions, as he opened the box to show the ring.
Fantucciu was in shock. He stared at Feral, hand over his mouth, eyes tearing up as well. “Is that- is that even a question-? YES! A MILLION TIMES YES!” He exclaimed, hugging Feral immediately. “I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, I’D LOVE TO SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE WITH YOU- ROMEO’S BEARD- I’M GOING TO CRY-“ He squeezed the feathery one tightly.
Feral sighed in complete and utter relief. “OH MY GOD I WAS SO SCARED YOU’D SAY NO- I- OH MY- HAHA- I LOVE YOU SO MUCH-!” He hugged him back, careful not to drop the ring. He was purring loudly, squeezing him back.
They were both crying, not out of sadness, but absolute joy. The pair were so madly in love with each other. Absolutely nothing could ruin this moment for them. Nothing would ruin this for them, not in a million years.
