Droplet opened his golden optics, blinking the reminants of drowsiness away. The moss he lay on was wet with dew - making the brute slightly uncomfortable. It was early in the morning, the sun hadn't risen yet - perfect. He had been meaning to speak with Umi lately, about how he felt. Their friendship had be progressing amazingly over the months and Droplet wanted to see if there was more to it. Surely there was more to it - right? The male pushed to all fours, padding into the dense forest. The golden and black Alpha had set out beforehand looking for a memorable meeting place. Excitement tingled throughout his body - with a dash of anxiousness as he walked through the never ending trees. Droplet was "berry hunting". Something he always snickered at. After what it seemed like hours, the brute finally had gathered enough berries for a one (whole) sitting - Blueberries, Strawberries, Blackberries, Raspberries, and to his surprise, grapes. Droplet made his way to the rendezvous site. The male emerged from the bushed, arriving at the site. He quickly placed the berries down in an assorted order before turning around and padding back to the Lambda den. Once the large Canis Lupus arrived at the den, he diligently stepped over the sleeping wolves. "Umi." Droplet whispered to the dame, in his smooth masculine voice. "Wake up, we need to talk." he continued, starting to gingerly groom Umi's head. |

Umi slowly blinked awake her vision a little fuzzy, a quick whiff of the air told her who was waking back her up so early. The golden dame smiled as the scent of pine had filled her nose, she stretched and shook as she spoke soft and quiet “Good morning Droplet.” Umi’s smile directed to him before she cradled her head under Droplet’s neck as if to hug him.
Umi then recalled what she had heard him say once the pair were outside of the lambda den, she spoke a little louder than her whisper from before, but still in a hushed tone. “You said we needed to talk? Is something the matter?” The golden dame curiously looked at Droplet with a tilted head to the side. As she awaited the brute’s reply her ice blue optics gazed out at the dewy morning, sun not yet risen, birds still quiet, it was peaceful.

Droplet flicked his tassel flicked, guestering for the dame to follow. "Hurry. I have to show you something." The brute said in a quick, but smooth manner. He would've never admitted it, but he almost chocked on his own words due to anxiety. Before waiting for a reply, Droplet padded back into the thicket of the forest.

Umi shrugged and she followed Droplet into the thicket. She didn’t know about this thicker part of the forest, it remained her briefly of her hide away in her old pack.
The golden dame could smell how nervous Droplet was, he also looked a bit anxious. What was going on with him today? Nonetheless Umi kept pace following the brute deeper into the thick brush.

 As the two went continued their way through the forest, Droplet gave Umi a quick side glance before making a sharp right turn. The forest had seemed to disappear, tree numbers declined quickly. 100 to 50 to 10 to 5 to 1. The traveling companions made their way uphill for a few more minutes before stopping at a cliff edge. An assortment of berries lay on the edge of the cliff- Droplet eyed the berries before turning back to the dame. A small awkward chuckle slipped from his maw. |

Umi blinked numerous times then continued to follow Droplet’s sharp right turn. Once the golden dame saw the magnificent view after the trees receded away she gasped looking down from the cliff at the frozen waterfall, just breathtaking. Her nose soon picked up the smell of berries and Umi looked at her paws seeing the assortment of them she smiled licking her maw. Her attention turned back to Droplet after she nuzzled him a “Thank you.” And popped some of the berries into her mouth
“What is all this for?” Umi asked curiously her thick tassel wagged in the snow making a dent in the frozen substance, yet it didn’t bother Umi. She eagerly looked at Droplet’s with beaming ice blue optics.

Droplet took a few silent deep breaths. "Ill make this quick.." The male settled down in the snow, his tassel wrapped neatly around his haunches. "Uh-" he started to speak - the adrenaline kicking in. "I'm afraid to tell you." Droplet admitted softly, looking away with a slight blush. Since when do I blush? The brute thought to himself angrily.

Umi tilted her head once again curious yet confused. ‘Quick? Whatever did he mean?’ She mentally thought. Umi offer a smile and she continued to eat the berries by her paws “Yes Cinnabon?” She teases trying to show Droplet he had nothing to be nervous about as Umi casually teased him. The golden dame would never change on Droplet as her happy mood was as constant as the sun.

Droplet sighed, pushing to all fours looking Umi directly in her eyes. "I wanted to ask yo-" -- "I mean I've been meaning to ask you.." he let out another awkward chuckle. "Uhh.. I'm sorry. I'm really nervous around wolves like you - not like its a bad thing! I-" The brute continued, starting to ramble. He didn't seem to notice how close he was to the dame - so close, that they were touching noses. "Sorry-" -- "Okay. You're really -"
Droplet paused for several moments. "Will you be my mate, Umi?"

Umi giggled at Droplet’s ramblings, but when her got closer and finally asked her his question it all clicked. The whole reason they were out here, as the sun just began to peek over the horizon line and the birds began to awaken due to their singing. Umi’s ice blue optics never left the brute’s golden ones as she tried to keep calm, her maw betraying her and tassel swaying rather fast. “I’d love to Droplet.” Umi soon stood and nuzzles herself against Droplet extra close. Their lavender, fresh rain and pine wood scents mixed together in her nose. Umi was happy, the happiest she’d ever been in a long time.
The golden dame raised her head to lick her brute’s cheek and she spoke up again “I love you Droplet, my cinnabon.” Umi chuckled softly.

Droplet blinked at her response. His heart pounded faster. "Y-yes?" he blinked again to regain his composure "YES??" the male groomed Umi's head fiercely. "That makes you the rightful Alpha female" Droplet continued to speak, his voice confident. "Are you ready to lead beside me?" he added a reassuring smile as he spoke "It'll be fun"

Umi laughs at the amount of excitement Droplet bestowed upon her head and face, but smiling just as hard none the less, Umi was still laughing when she tried to answer Droplet’s many yeses “Yes, I said yes.” She almost tumbled over in laughter, she had never seen the black-golden brute so ecstatic. Her audits perked at his words “As ready as I’ll ever be, with your help of course. I have no doubt it’ll be an adventure in itself.” Umi’s ice blue optics beamed as her thick winter tassel continued to sway happily.
