Early look at DC fanfic (Patreon)

the 1st page of the fic im writting of lake and arvo

A drift in your eyes, lost in the depths of your presence and submerged in the whole of your love, I drown in you and the endless possibilities of us.

With a gentle lick of the snout I’m brought back to the present moment and remember to breath.

“That got your attention. You alright Arvo?”

The lion asked with a hint of concern and a gentle squeeze to our interlocked paws.

"Yeah, just was daydreaming for a moment there sorry about that."

"Oh? about anything in particular or anyone maybe?"

I could feel my cheeks grow warmer as the lion pushed in closer their shoulder colliding with mine paws still interlocked and a devilish smile spreading on their face. if it wasn't for my dense fur I'd probably be as red as a ripe tomato.

"You if I'm being honest. These last two weeks seem almost like a dream. They may not have all been the greatest especially from your point of view, but they have been the best I've felt since... well for a long time."

After all we were partners now, officially official.

Something had pulled me towards this alluring lion allowing me to see them anew. Since the first day of that science camp, we were almost inseparable. Spending the majority of our free time with one another and many of the nights wrapped in each other's arms.

I could tell without looking that Lake was taking a moment to process the whole of what I said. Even taking account of the separation from Torulf and the accidental destruction of Rune's phone.

Maybe it was a bad idea to say that last part after all the wounds were still rather fresh.

Suddenly the fluff of their golden mane found itself softly laying atop my shoulder.

I did look at them then. A content smile on soft lips and crimson eyes that held the universe, my world, looking back at me.

"I'm happy too, even with all that happened. I'd go through it all again if it meant id end up here, holding the hand of the cutest tiger I know."

"You know many tigers?"

"Just two, they replied without missing a beat."

My smile began to grow uncontrollably wide.

"Now enough stalling man, you promised I'd get a room tour tonight!"
