The brown male smiled softly as the sandy female next to him rested her head on his shoulder and sighed. Marius could live in this moment forever, with the twinkling fireflies creating a beautiful landscape with their gentle glows. With such a view, and their conversation leading up to this point, the male thought it was appropriate to ask Cosette about pups. Perhaps it was a little forward, as he reflected on how she had stayed rather quiet during his confession. But then she spoke, breaking the nervousness he felt. ”A heart full of love.” Cosette had started, Marius’s pale green-blue eyes following her head as she removed it from his shoulder. Their gaze met, and with that he got lost in those beautiful, beautiful, sage green eyes. ”My only desire is to be yours, Marius. From today…everyday. A heart full of you.” His lips curled upward into a toothy grin as his mate’s tongue brushed across his cheek, his face feeling much warmer than before. The tips of his tails tapped softly as they remained wrapped around the sandy femme. ”A heart, full, of you…” He echoed, speaking softly just as she had.

Her next words were more music to his ears. ”I wouldn’t mind a couple of pups. You’d make a wonderful father, Marius. I think we’d have beautiful children, raised in love and joy. They’d never want for a thing.” Marius kept the smile on his lips even as Cosette had turned to look forward again. ”They’d have their own hearts filled with love, dear Cosette.” For a brief moment, Eponine crossed his mind. She’d be a great aunt to their children. He wondered where she had gone off to, but was pulled away from that thought when his mate’s blond fur mixed in further with his dusty brown, cuddling even closer to him. His ears perked when Cosette began to speak again. ”When were you planning on these children, Monsieur Marius?” His eyes whipped to her, noticing the smile on her lips, and mirrored the same, teasing smile as he spoke. ”Madamoiselle Cosette, I would like their presence here sooner rather than later.” He followed this with a nuzzle under her maw, followed by a very gentle nibble to her neck as he stood up, still at her side. He then would gently move his nose along the back of her head, whispering in her ear. ”May I, my dearest Cosette?” Upon her consent, he’d mount.

*fade out, fade in*

Marius panted slightly as he dismounted, immediately returning to Cosette’s side and mirroring whatever stance she placed herself – standing, sitting, or laying down. He would once again, nuzzle her neck, speaking softly with a smile. ”I can’t wait to meet them, dearest Cosette.” The light brown male would then caress Cosette with his 8 tails, as a comfort that he was always going to be there.
