Mateship
"I love you."
Sly's heart leapt to hear those words, the purple werehusky's breath catching, tightening, in his throat. For a moment, he could not breathe, but that was all well as his werewolf boyfriend, Natheniel, took him into his arms and gave him the kiss of life -- well, a kiss nonetheless!
Dancing at the police officer ball was a romantic experience in itself but Nate taking his lover close and off to a secluded place to ask him to be his forever mate was more special still than even the event that Sly, admittedly, had been looking forward to for months. It was the next step in their relationship, all happening at the right pace for him, and he kissed Nate fiercely, running his fingers through his lover's thick, brown fur, Natheniel being more traditionally coloured for a werewolf than he was. He always was teasing Sly about the yellow markings over his shoulders and down his back, not to mention the orange of his hair and yellow ears to match too that set him apart from any other fur. But Sly did not complain too much as it was those very stand-outs about him as a werehusky that had drawn Nate to him in the first place. And who was going to say anything bad about that?
They kissed. They danced. They had not the sweetness in them to while away the night in the company of others when they could be alone. Thus, it was back to Natheniel's apartment, a few blocks south in the heart of the city, best placed for his line of work as an officer, for the pleasure of one another and one another alone, laughing like teenagers all over again and dancing through puddles, kicking up the water even in their dress shoes as if they no longer had a single care left in the world.
No... No, that was just how it was meant to be, spinning in each other's arms beneath the globe of street lights, few cars on the streets at such an hour -- and those that were out there then had somewhere to be, paying them little attention or mind. They could do as they willed and Nate dominantly pulled Sly to him, growling into his mouth as he kissed him fiercely, travelling up in the elevator to his place with due haste.
They had one another to themselves and Sly smirked cockily, although he was not best placed to be such in that moment, as Nate spun him into the bedroom, the werewolf's eyes darkening seductively.
"Now..." His breath came raggedly, sending Sly's heart into desperately fervent overdrive. "Now, it's time to claim you as my mate."
