Her beautiful smile made him swoon, and he could not help but reflect her own smile in his own face. He would be okay if he had died right now in this moment, but preferred to live through many many more with the cream colored lass sitting close to him. He felt their fur intermingle, a small blush rising to his face just as it had for Cosette seconds earlier. She took a deep breath, which caused Marius to cock his head. Then the lass spoke, “Do you see what I see, do you feel what I feel?” His ears oriented to her breath hitch, had he not been clear enough? He smiled softly, trying to ease her worries. ”My dear, my heart is full of love for you.” He spoke softly, attempting to nuzzle her cheek as she gently smiled.

She spoke once again, and Marius as always directed his full attention to her. “In my life, I’m no longer alone…Now that the love in my life is so near.” He smiled softly as she rested her head onto his shoulder and continued to speak. “Marius, ever since we’ve met, I’ve felt the need to always be close to you. My heart has been full of emotions, some mixed and some not. All I knew is that…It’s been you. From the day we’ve met, it’s been you.” He softly placed his head on top of hers, answering her softly. ”It was a single look and then I knew… I knew you must never go away. You have been all that I’ve thought about, made me feel emotions I’ve never felt before, and all I desire is to remain in your presence from now on, to call you my love…and my mate.” He lifted his head off of hers as he spoke his last confession of love and attempted to meet her eyes. He hoped that his words were a clear enough message. He would then attempt to lick her cheek, if she would let him.

He then looked back out to the scenery, smiling softly. He began to picture little pups of their own frolicking around and could only imagine how excited Eponine would be to be the fun “aunt” to them. It was only natural that she would usurp that role, as he and her had been friends for ages. She still had yet to meet Cosette too. Their pups would be adorable, gaining attributes of both of them, either her green eyes or his sea green-blueish eyes, fur colors like her cream coat or his coat of browns and greys. Almost mindlessly, he spoke. ”My dear Cosette, what would you think about…having pups of our own?” He turned to face her, heat rising rapidly to his cheeks. He hoped that was not too, too forward. He did not want to scare her away so soon.
