 Turu looked down at the pond water deep in thought, it had been some time since he and Xerxes had been together. He pawed the water and watched as his reflection became distorted. Would Xerxes what to spend the rest of her life with him? The thought of how to go about it was nerve-racking, and the thought of her saying no was terrifying! Turu may rarely show emotion, but he did have feelings. The feelings he had for Xerxes were beyond words and he hoped when he did ask her to be his lifemate she won't look at him with a frowny face.
Then again his girlfriend? Lover? --balls to it what they had didn't need a label-- wasn't really like that anyways. Rolling on to his back Turu tried to recall where Xerxes said she was going in the first place. She had said something this morning but he had been distracted by her warmth and cuddles. He only like Xer-cuddles and heaven help him if his brother ever found out about this soft side.
Depawsit I know they are mates already <3 but this could be the "propose prompt"

She'd been out all morning doing random things, her most important task was trying to track down a nvwati and procure an appointment. She had finally worked up her nerve, and finally she felt she had a story to tell. She was fully prepared to have her tattoos placed upon her flank. She'd talked lightly of it with Turu, who was quite fond of the idea! But she had always been nervous, fearful of how it was done. What it would entail, and what she would have done. But now, she had everything.
A home, a fluffy lion to call her own, and most importantly she had confidence in herself. The only thing missing from the picture now was the family. It was something she and Turu had never spoken of, over the long course the two had been together. Such a serious topic had never come up. Perhaps Turu wasn't the type to want children, or he thought she wasn't? Which was as far from the truth as one could get! But beyond all that, perhaps the most important reason the two hadn't spoken of children was because the two were not properly mated. Perhaps if Turu ever requested it, then their family could begin. But for now, she was going to be just fine with her big fluffy bear.
Now, as she made her way back to the dens, her mouth full of different sorts of flowers. A million thoughts ran through her head. She was most excited to tell him about her preparations for tattooing, while she braided these flowers into his mane. But even more than that, she just wanted to be close to him. His large fluffy body provided her with warmth. Not warmth like temperature, but a warmth as though every bone in her body were radiating with the happiness she was trying to keep hold of.
Soon she could catch his scent on the air, and knew it wouldn't be long before he was in her sights. With a smile on her face, and a tight grip on her flowers Xerxes kicked off and headed straight ahead.

His daydreaming was interrupted by a welcoming scent. Home. Whenever he smelt Xerxes scent he always thought of that one world; home. That is who she was to him. He watched in amusement as she leapt into the air and landed on his back. "Hello." His voice warm and welcoming. Even though Xer had been gone the morning it felt much longer than that. "Good morning?" He was asking about her day. Blue eyes staring into skyblue eyes before looking down at her muzzle and then back up in question. What? His expression seemed to say.
Depawsit Halleluiah. Finished that midterm... it was hell.

Xerxes dropped the flowers at the seat of her mate's feet and gave him the biggest most welcoming smile she could manage. Which wasn't hard considering she was so incredibly happy to be back home and near him once again. "Morning? Its nearly sundown you silly bear!" She purred into his mane, nuzzling gently into it and consuming his scent into her nostrils as she spoke. "What have you been up to all day? She asked, her paws finding their way into his mane as they so often did. She just loved the idea of running her paws through his mane, it was how they'd met! And now it continued to bring them together. "I tried to track down a nvwati today! To get some of my tattoos done. But I couldn't find not a one!" Finally letting off some of her energy, she plopped to the ground beside her flowers and laughed at her mate's perplexed expression. "What these?
They're for you of course!
I was going to braid that mane of your's! That is .. if you'll let me!" She purred once more, batting her lashes and offering her lovely sweetheart the most innocent eyes she could muster. Tara de Draiocht Awesome! I hope you did well on it! *cheers*

Turu watched her with softening eyes as if to say thank you for the flowers. She certainly was such a cutie and was distracted by what his mate dropped. "Oops," He returned her nuzzle with one of his own and purred deeply. It was nice putting his scent on her and letting others know she was his. His mate to have forever and ever.... oh she was grooming him again and before he could stop it his eyes lowered in pleasure. "Nothing really, it was boring without you around.." He nodded his head in consent for flower placement.
He grunted as he listened to her speak. "I'm sure you'll find one soon." He patted her one paw that wasn't busy grooming. "Maybe we can find one together and get-." Turu paused nervously he had been planning to ask her paw in marriage for a long time now, it was nerve racking a little bit because the outcome could be either a positive or negative one. "-something to eat." He finished lamely. The timing had to be right. He settled down in the ground and waited to be 'beautified' with flowers. Did you make any "new friends?" today. Xerxes was the social one and he was fine with that, if Xerxes was there then Turu would put up with anything... well almost anything.
Depawsit :< no i ... didnt do well at all heart tag

Xerxes couldn't help but let out a girlish laugh at her love's reaction to her grooming habits, she knew he loved her paws in his mane and she loved doing it. It was a plus for the both of them and she couldn't dream of having it any other way. There was just no way in the world she could spend her life with someone who had such an amazing mane and no ability to play with it. She would be one sad lioness, yes she would. But with Turu, she need not worry about such silly things! She'd had her paws in his mane since day one, and she wasn't gonna give that up for anything!
"Then you should have come with me silly! It would have been much more fun with you lumbering beside me! Don't ya think?" Her eyes were wide with eagerness as she spoke, but of course Turu couldn't see that from her position.
Twining one flower into his mane she smiled with self satisfaction at how wonderful it looked among his dark black fur. "Perfect!" She mumbled, her tongue partly sticking out as she judged her own work. It was about this time that Turu spoke up once again and she listened, eager to hear what he had to say, get what?! more flowers? matching tattoos?! No ... Turu wouldn't want something like that, he was a mellow guy. He probably liked things just as they were, and well if that's how he liked it she was happy to comply. But she held her breath just the same in hopes that he might answer what she was thinking.
"Something to eat huh? Are you that hungry already?" Looking up to the sky she realized it was getting late. "Well, we could go get something now, and not have to worry about it when we try to find the nwatu's again. Maybe when we go after them again we'll have something more interesting to do!" She added in for good measure. She thought of adding a wink, but then decided against it, instead continuing with her braiding.
"Hmm no new friends today. But I did find out a few of my older ones have left the clan. Mated to new ones!" Her voice was cheery, but there was still room for her disappointment in it as well. "But its ok! I can always make new friends, its not as though the wolf clan has a shortage of lions right?! And besides all that, i've always got you!" She added for finality, her paws leaving the male's mane for the first time since beginning. Instead her face found itself buried into his mane, a slow purr rumbling through her throat as she nuzzled against her best friend, and the one she loved forever and always.
Even if they never made it official, Turu would always be the one she would love.

He grunted when his Xerxer reached a good spot in his mane causing his eyes fluttered heavy-lidded. His ear flickered towards the words Xerxer spoke. "Anything is better when your around." The words came out easily, it was no lie. He turned around when she finished placing the flower in his hair. Her expression was so adorable that he couldn't help but kiss her and nuzzle. He wrapped his paws around her shoulders and drew her in close. He was content, happy, loved, and- "Be my mate." The words popped out. They had been a long time coming and it had felt right to finally say them. Maybe he could have thought of a better way to do it, but honestly holding that in so long had caused a wave of relief... and fear. What if she said no? What then? Maybe he was pushing it.
He borrowed his face in her neck to await the answer.

 She giggled and wriggled around at the adorable sound her Turtur was making. So absorbed was she that she almost missed the words that came out of his muzzle. Xerxes froze in shock and stared blank downward. They stared at one another for a few minutes before she answered. "Yes," She breathed out in delight before pouncing on her male. "YES!" She shouted out to any and all to hear.

His heart sank as he watched his xerxer freeze up at his question. Great, he thought. I messed it up. I messed up everything. He felt his body droop and was about to slink off in order to collect himself. Maybe it just wasnt the right time and maybe she wasn't ready... or so he thought until her word filtered into this head. "!!!" He jerked up and puffed out his chest. Yes, she said yes! Turu snorted a happy laugh. He should have known that there would have been no worries and that Xerxer would have said yes.. they had been together for such a long time too. Heck, they even moved to another pride to be with one another!
He was the happiest lion ever. Life was just being, a step in the right direction and for once his grumpy face transformed into a heart stopping smile. He was content.

Nuzzling and breathing in the scent of her Turu... no her mate! Boy, even in her head that sounded strange! He was so soft and comfy and warm... purrrr. Looking up she was about to let him know this when a smile crossed his face. Her breath was stolen from her as she watched the transformation. She was the happiest lioness ever. Life was just being, a step in the right direction and she answered his loving smile with one of her own. She was content
End.
