Galaxius' heart soared with intense happiness as Nova told him that she loved him too. Knocking him to the ground, Nova covered his muzzle with licks, and all he could do was return the favor. He whined and whimpered like a happy pup, his eyes and markings glowing with sheer joy.
"I love you too, my dear Nova..." He whispered in her ear, his tail wagging. The sun shone down on them through the trees, illuminating their fur, as the animals of the forest seemed to rejoice in their happiness.
--------------------------------------
The young male watched as Hoku wandered around the clearing, her voice sweet and light as she explained which herbs were which. Vesper somehow knew what some of these herbs were, and did not have too much difficulty finding them. It surprised the wolf that he knew what he did without even trying...but he thought it best not to say much. Acting as though he was learning, he gently stuck his nose to the ground and began to sniff out the other plants Hoku mentioned.
"So this is Yarrow, right?" He asked as he sniffed out a nearby plant, its spindly body sprouting from the ground like some sort of weedy root.

Nova laughed and nuzzled him again, "My Galaxius," She sighed, Lying down and putting her head on his chest. His heartbeat filled her ears and her head was lifted slightly with each breath he took. The sun felt good as her fur soaked up the warmth and turned her fur a dark chocolaty brown, and the gentle breeze stopped her from becoming over-heated.
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
Hoku turned as she heard Vesper asked her something, "Yep, That's Yarrow. There's a poppy field just down a path where we get the poppy seeds." She grinned and flitted over to him, Her paws moved with a simple grace that made her look like a dancer. Grabbing some Yarrow she nudged him and then took off in the direction of the poppy field, "C'mon slow poke, You may have beaten Nova but I'd like to see you try to beat me!" She called over her shoulder before running out of his site and down a dirt path.

"My dear Nova..." A wolf-like purr escaped Galaxius' throat as he buried his face into her fur. The sweet scent she carried was one that Galaxius could distinguish from any other, even in blindness. He inhaled deeply, taking in her scent as though it were going away forever. "I could not be happier than I am right now." He muttered into her ear, his eyes closing with contentment.
----------------------------------
He took in every word she said like water. Vesper enjoyed hearing her voice; it was calm and relaxing. Suddenly she nudged him and took off down a nearby path, which he guessed to be the way towards their poppy seeds. She was taunting him...
With a smirk and a playful growl he took off after her, his paws light on the ground as he took a leap over fallen logs and dodged low hanging branches. "Of course you're going to beat me! You got a head start!" He howled after her, his speed picking up enough to keep her ahead by about a tail's length. This was exhilarating...it made him happy.

Nova smiled, "Neither could I." She purred back, breathing in his woodland scent she would follow anywhere. She sighed, She was in heaven, Galaxius, a small clearing, the sun. She loved her home, her mate and her pack, they were her family, not by blood but by relationship.
~-~-~-~-~-~~-~-~-~
Hoku laughed, she hadn't felt this exhilarated for a while, this compared to nothing else and felt like she was flying.
"All's fair in love and war Vesper." She called over her shoulder before leaping over a log and bursting into the poppy field, turning a circle so she was face to face with him. "Beat you!" She grinned, bowing down in a playful stance. She felt like a pup again, with her best friends as they would play and roll around in the mud and grass. Her tail wagged and her red eyes glimmered with mischievousness and curiosity.

Galaxius lay there for a few minutes, his fur soaking in the sun and pure happiness that lingered in the air around them. He began to think about his new mate...and their pack. Suddenly, he pulled himself up and sat before Nova, his eyes quivering. His heart began to race once more, and his ears grew hot. "Nova..." He leaned in and pressed his forehead against hers. "...it would honor me if you carried my pups."
-------------------------------------
"Oh, I don't find that love and war have the same placement in fairity," Vesper replied breathlessly as he tore through the underbrush at full speed. As he broke through a bush and found himself in the clearing, he was moving too fast to stop himself, and collided with Hoku in a flurry of fur and paws. With a loud "Umph!" Vesper tumbled over and landed in a small patch of wildflowers, the small bugs taking off into the air. His back ached a little, but he was merely laughing as he lay there in the sun.
Looking over he saw Hoku was partially on top of him, her face resting on his chest. He quickly got up and turned away. "Urm...sorry about that..."

Nova's breath caught, Her face broke into a even bigger smile, "Galaxius, you silly fool, I would love to." She presed her face to his and licked his muzzle again. "I love you." She breathed, Burying her face in his fur she breathed deeply and let out a happy sigh.
~-~-~-~-~-~-~
Hoku laughed as Vesper ran into her and they went flying head over heels, Quite literally. She smiled and let her head flop down onto his chest before he moved and apologised. She sat up and her brow creased slightly, "Oh C'mon Vesper, I'm not annoyed at you for bowling me head over heels..." She trailed off and swallowed roughly, Memories of her and Aires came flooding back before she could stop them. Leave it in the past Hoku! She mentally scolded herself before carrying on her sentence. "Let's just get some poppy seeds and get back, Yeah?" Her voice more monotone and less happy then before, She sighed and began to pick some poppies.

"I love you too." Galaxius smiled in return; he could not imagine being any happier than he was at this moment. He could not even fathom sadness. As Nova nuzzled herself into his fur, he sighed with contentment. The world was finally falling into place.
He inhaled sharply before placing his maw next to her ear again. "But...when?"
-----------------------------------
Suddenly the sky seemed less dim, and the animals not as cheerful. Or was it that Hoku had lost her shimmer? She did not seem as happy as she was a moment ago. Had he truly upset her by what he did? Ears back against his skull he mulled around the clearing and picked poppy seeds without saying a word. Once they had gathered enough, he stood at the edge of the clearing next to where he came plummeting through the bushes, and looked at her with a blank expression.
"I apologize if I have upset you Hoku," He said despondently. "I would never do anything to make you upset intentionally."
Without waiting for a response from her, Vesper began to walk back towards the camp with his tail drooping amongst last falls' leaf litter.

Nova smiled and sat up again, "Whenever," She replied calmly, she was truly mellow and happy now. Galaxius was her personal sun and made her day brighter and happier, it felt like she was invincible, like nothing could touch her. All-in-all she felt utterly amazing, "C'mon!" She grinned, Licking his muzzle before bounding off into the bushes, "Don't be a slow-poke Galaxius! Lets go!" She called back through the bushes as she ran at a smooth pace.
~-~-~-~-~-~-~
Hoku sucked in a deep breath as she stood frozen in the middle of the clearing, "I apologize if I have upset you Hoku... I would never do anything to make you upset intentionally." It was something along the lines of this that Aires had said to her the day he had left her. Shaking her head she forced a smile and ran after Vesper. "Vesper! Wait!" She called after him, before coming to a halt in front of him. "It-It wasn't you, I promise. It's just..." She paused trying to gather her words before she spoke again.
"My memories, I had someone special and he left me for someone else. It hurt me so much, and I guess... It's just... Aires hurt me, I lost my daughter, but I also found Nova at the same time. I haven't had to face the memories for some time and it just took me by surprise. I promise it wasn't you it's just I got a sense of deja voo, and the memories hit me." She blurted out, Watching him carefully. She sighed and smiled for real this time, She felt a bit better getting this off her chest.

His body grew light and strong as she licked his face and gallivanted off through the bushes. Smiling and barking with laughter he took off after her, his paws barely touching the ground. "Where are we going, my love?" He called out, his nose mere inches from her tail. Her scent wafted over him, making it hard to focus on the trail ahead. He wanted so bad to wallow in the soft grass with her and act like a pup again...
------------------------------------
Vesper listened and watched the poor creature fumble over her words. He could tell her heart had truly been broken; it was hard for him to stand idle and watch her act this way. When she finished speaking, as if it were instinct, Vesper wound his way towards her buried his face into her soft neck fur. "Obviously he couldn't see how special you are."
The male wolf shocked himself. He was not one for finding romance so quickly, nor was he one to keep it for long periods of time. But this wolf...there was something tantalizingly sweet about her that roped him in instantly. There was something...more. He liked it. Without waiting for her to respond, he gave her a small smirk before turned to walk back to camp again.

Nova laughed as they ran through the woods, She wished this moment would carry on forever. Of course, Everything good must come to an end...
As she broke through from the forest and into a clearing yells rang out and there were clicks of guns. Nova halted and backed up, Her ears flat against her head she let out a warning snarl. "Galaxius, Careful. Humans." She warned, backing up against the trees as they began to talk. One of them yelled at another and began to advance on her, She let out another warning snarl and curled her lips.
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
Hoku blushed and her mouth fell agape as he buried his head in her neck fur and then turned and began to walk back to camp. She didn't miss his smirk either, It seemed that his roguish charm was reeling her in. Smiling slightly she walked after him, Her eyes alight with wonder and curiosity.
The forest was quiet but if you listened carefully you could hear the live sounds of wildlife and the soft crunch of branches and leaves underfoot. She smiled, until she heard the sound of Nova's warning snarl. "Something's wrong." She said, Her ears pricked and her eyes now wide and darting around for any sign of danger. She caught the sounds of humans and then Nova snarling a warning again, "C'mon." She hissed, Her body lunging toward the sounds and her feet following soon after as she charged toward Nova.
