kei & hongjoong

@β terazono keita "No I don't, you are perfect for me and I love you just the way you are." Smiling I lean in and kiss your cheek before smiling warmly at you. But at your words, I turn a bright red but just end up grinning as I nod lightly at you. "Well I am not sure, I don't smell anything yet and your brother hasn't mentioned any new smell on me yet neither have you so odds are little to none. But my parents are older so they might have a bit of a better nose for these types of things. Though at first, I think they will start crying and being happy before all the real 'trouble' you could say. But I think more than anything he might just want to make sure you can provide for us but I have faith in you. Besides we are a family right? I might not hunt as much but I can grow stuff, I am sure I can trade with your brother for meat and skin that way, right?"

@ω kim hongjoong ♡ Huffing a bit that your parents might see Yuto as a better provider than me since they did the hunting for today's trip, I just give your hand a squeeze and stay close to your side, letting Yuto walk by himself. "I hope they don't think he'd be a better mate for you. I wouldn't be able to survive if your family chose Yuto over me." Says while making a face and then abruptly changes the subject, speaking up a bit so my voice can be heard somewhere other than just between us. "I think we should take our time. The path is clear, and we're carrying a lot of heavy stuff - and Joongie might not have heavy bags, but he's carrying something even more precious." Yuto just shoots a look at us before shaking his head and I tilt my head to look at you instead. "Do you think your parents will be able to smell that we're expecting?

@β terazono keita Can't help but laugh, seeming to smile softly at this. "I will ask another time so thank you. And it's not far, about a ten minute walk if you walk fast but if you take your time it's about twenty minutes." Looks back to Yuto and laughs softly before I smile gently. "They will like him because there about to see he can hunt but I know they will love you as well, just be yourself and I know this is all going to go well."

@ω kim hongjoong ♡ Giving you a warm, brotherly hug, Yuto just grins and winks. "You said bring deer to impress your parents. I aim to please. Though I really almost kept the rack for you guys. You know antlers make the best chewpies, you can ask Kei."

Grumbling about Yuto being embarrassing, I take up some bags and then your hand so we can walk to your parents' place. "Is it far? Or will they be on top of us as soon as we peek through the trees?" Looks at you, thumb rubbing the back of your hand; finally feeling some of the nerves myself.

"Geez Kei, just worry about the 200-some kilos of buck getting to them for dowry. Everything else will be cake."
Shoots Yuto an annoyed look, but then sighs and tilts my head close to yours. "I hope your parents don't hate him..."

@β terazono keita Is surprised by all the meat but feels touched that you would do so much for me and Keita. Grinning some, I go to hug you before kissing your cheek and stepping back. "Thank you Yuto, I appreciate the help that you are giving us, it means a lot." With a smile, I grin as I pick up one of the packs of meat and nod with a small grin. "Alright let's get going, knowing umma, he is already peering out the window down to see if he can spot us." With a smile I head back out and nod my head to the antlers. "He is going to love those by the way, so thank you."

@ω kim hongjoong ♡ Watches you nervously pacing and chews my lip, checking my phone again and again, waiting for Yuto to text me that he's here. When you hug me, I hold you tightly, tucking my face into your shoulder. "I know, baby. I know. Everything will be great, if Yuto gets his here any time soon..." sighs a bit but pulls back, cupping your cheeks and giving you a soft kiss. "Just take a deep breath. No matter what happens, you'll always have me by your side." Smiling, I nearly jump out of my skin and out of your arms when I hear a knock at the door, looking down at my phone to see a message notification. "Thank God, Yuto...: sighs deeply and goes to the door to let my brother in, staring at him when I see the bags upon bags of individually wrapped meat, and a set of antlers sticking out of one of the bags. "Uh... So... Buck season?"
"You got it. Hongjoong asked for deer, right?" Yuto asks, setting down bags and hugging me first, then opening his arms to you in kind. "Are they coming here or are we going to them?"
Shakes my head softly "We were waiting on you, oniisan. Gotta get going like now if we want to stay on time."

@β terazono keita () sure thing xD

I had already texted my parents that I would be over to see them later, that I was bringing some people for them to meet. I pace back and forth in the living room, feeling nervous as I wait for Yuto to show up. "I know I want to do this but the more I feel we are about to go the more I feel nervous." Pouts as I turn to look at you and quickly wrap my arms around you, pressing my face against your neck. "I just...I just want today to go good and to have their blessing."

@ω kim hongjoong ♡ "But I'll be here in the morning..." Laughs softly as you yawn, moving us around a little bit to wrap us up in a blanket and fluff up some pillows, getting comfy with you. "Sleep now, my love. We have a big day tomorrow, then a couple more beyond that. You need all the rest you can get." Protectively places a hand on your tummy, kissing along your neck and to the back of your shoulder; nuzzling into you and calming myself with your scent.
"I love you, Hongjoong. So much." I mumble against your shoulder, letting myself get cozy and sleepy as well.

(skip ahead? their big day ;;;;;;; )

@β terazono keita Watches you before I smile softly as I kiss you back sweetly and gives a soft hum before nodding a little bit. "I guess you are right about that, thank you for saying that." Smiling softly at you, I lift your hand and kisses your fingers gently and smiling happily at this. "But yes you are right, we can do that and I am sure we will be able to figure all of this out perfectly without having to worry about anything." Stretching a bit before letting out a small yawn and I close my eyes, feeling sleepy after our talk and long day. "I think I am ready to go down for the night but I like talking to you a lot as well so I don't want to sleep." Whines at this, as I feel my body trying to sleep but I am fighting it at the same time.

@ω kim hongjoong ♡ "It's okay - You didn't have to go through the sort of things I did. I would have killed for those training wheels." I watch you as you grow silent, lips tugging to the side in a little frown. "Baby... I don't want you to worry about how things are split. You don't realize how much you're helping by being supportive, cooking, and taking care of all the little day-to-day things that I take for granted. Even if you don't think you're contributing enough money... You have to imagine what private chefs and maid services charge, and equate that to your value. You know, they did a study where they tried to give a stay-at-home parent a 'salary range' to show what they're worth... They're worth literally hundreds of thousands of dollars a year." I nudge your nose with my own, then give you a sweet kiss. "I don't want you to worry about money, my love. We can start to think about that after we figure out our budget for the house, and see what we still need, alright?"

@β terazono keita "Oh, that's a good idea! I don't know why I didn't think of that." Just shakes my head and sighs softly, seeming to be lost in thought just a bit. "It is a lot but doesn't worry I will help with what I can before I start to grow and show alright? I won't leave you to all the work, even my mate would get tired." Pouts softly, feeling bad that there is a lot to do. "Sorry I don't have more money to put in, I just...never really needed it before. Now I feel dumb and just wished I worked harder." Frowns at this as I close my eyes, trying to think. "Maybe I can start selling out what I grow here and maybe earn more money for us that way, do you think that would help?"

@ω kim hongjoong ♡ "That's okay, we'll need all the time we can get to make our home ready for the kids. There's so much to think about - Nurseries, cellars, rabbit hutches, and pig pens... The list just gets longer each and every day." Says this without any malice, just a big sigh; it's going to be a lot of work and I just want to get started on it either way. I think that I'll have to call Yuto to really get the ball rolling, figuring that it will happen during our outing to the city. "We can always do that in a pen setting at first - like, make a corrall for the kids to chase bunnies around in so they get a feel for it before doing it in the wild. That way we can be sure they'll be safer than just going out and hunting all willy-nilly."

@β terazono keita Turns redder the more you speak but I just smile happily since I did love hearing those words. Watching you, I laugh softly as you squeeze me and just grin happily at this. "I can't wait either, it will be at most half a year to nine months but soon we will have that so you don't have to wait that long. We just have to prepare our home and make sure we are ready. Though even if we raise our own wild hogs and rabbits I would still like to teach our children to hunt as well. I know you and Yuto will be able to teach them a lot of things while I can teach them cooking and they will be the most well-rounded things." Sighs dreamily at this and nuzzle your cheek happily, before giving it a playful bite and grin happily.

@ω kim hongjoong ♡ "Cute, y, amazing, sweet, precious, smart, loving..." I give a very disney-esque sigh, and press another kiss to the top of your head. "I could go on about you forever, with nothing bad to say." Humming a bit, I nod to the idea of your cooking, loving that idea in particular since I love your food so much. When you mention all the loving home bits, though, I give an excited "Awww" and squeeze you in my arms, just hugging your body to mine. "I can't wait to have a home with you and our pups, and be able to come home everyday to our big, amazing family."

@β terazono keita "I am glad you find me cute." Hearing what you want to do, I blush a bit before I smile and just nod as I kiss your chest and rest my head against your shoulder. "If that is what you want to do then we can do that, so thank you for wanting to spoil me." Feels lucky that you want to do so much for me. "I will just have to continue to make you delicious food to make sure you have the energy to deal with school and all the stuff that is to come in the future. I can also promise to make sure you have a loving home and adorable little children to come home and give love to as well."

@ω kim hongjoong ♡ I nod with your words, laughing a little at how excited you seem about this little trip. "You're so cute baby." I hum, smiling at the snuggles you share with me, cuddling you up in kind. "I mean... I was thinking we'd buy stuff you want for the house. Not just gifts for the sake of it, but actually useful things, too." Admits sheepishly, knowing that it will probably be about 50-50, if you let me have my way; either way still being dead set on spoiling you as much as you let me. "Plus we'll have to go ring shopping while we're out, too. That will be a big thing you have to let me spoil you with, no arguments." I give you a pout at this, hoping you'll let me do that much for you.

@β terazono keita I look a bit surprised at your words before I laugh and nod quickly as I hug you and kiss your cheek. "That sounds perfect to me, I honestly can't wait. That means I can pack tomorrow morning and leave the bag here. Then when we finish with meet my parents, we swing by here, pick up the bag, and head into town! Oh, Keita, I can't wait for this." Hugs you and nuzzles your chest happily, giggling just a bit as I feel truly happy with being able to go into town but mostly feeling happy with treating this as our honeymoon. "You really are going to spoil me to no end aren't you? Just...don't go too crazy with the shopping. I really don't want much but it would be nice to get an idea of what would be perfect for our home."

@ω kim hongjoong ♡ Chuckling softly, I shake my head at your cheesy words, but don't deny them, just nuzzling my nose against yours instead of saying anything more. I already know it goes without saying how adorable I think you are and how much I love seeing your smile, so I simply just try to adore that without overwhelming you in even more touches. "Let's not wait too long. We can leave after we meet your parents. Make it like a mini-honeymoon of sorts. Besides, I'd love to take you around and buy you things, and let you get a better idea of what you want in our home. There's so much to look at and pick out, we can easily spend a few days doing nothing but shopping."

@β terazono keita Turns a light red but smiles happily at the kiss before I nod a bit to you. "Yeah, just a ring would be the perfect thing for us. I don't need anything fancy because I have something better and that's your heart." Blushes at my corny words but I can't help but grin just a bit. Hearing you will take me everywhere, I grin more and nod before biting my lip. "I will stay at your place so you don't have to worry, I will pack an overnight bag so I can stay there." Feels excited about it and wonders how our little trip will go. "Just let me know when and I can clear out the few days to spend with you. I want to know more about my handsome Keita."

@ω kim hongjoong ♡ I nod a bit, using my hand to tilt your chin towards me, kissing your lips lovingly. "Is that all you want, baby? A simple little band?" Asks honestly, waiting to see your reaction as I your beautifully defined jaw, genuinely curious about your wishes for human standards beyond the marks and scenting that drives us as wolves. When you make such an open and thoughtful request, I can't help but to kiss you again. "Of course, my love. I'll take you everywhere in town so you can explore to your hearts content. We can even visit my apartment and maybe spend the night there... If you want, of course."

@β terazono keita Once the both of us settle down, I snuggle into your side and just laugh a bit. "Call me your husband which means we can get some simple rings for us to wear. You can just say you got married over the weekend or something with just your family which won't be a total lie. I am your family now after all." Snickers at this as I look to you and just grin some. "But I do want to go to the human town with you when you have a day off from school. I want you to show me around and whatnot. I want to see what made you like it so much that you wanted to attend their schools. That way I can get to learn more about you."

@ω kim hongjoong ♡ "Just you being possessive riles me up, so... You've already lost that battle." Grins up at you, then presses a kiss over the mark before pulling your shirt down. Laying down next to you, I press a kiss to your jaw next, snuggling you up in my arms. "I would absolutely love that. I don't know why, but that's just... So y." Sighs happily as I hug you close to my body, relishing in the touchy-ness for the time being, and trying not to think of things that will make me even more excited than I already am. Thinks of something that might help, looking up at you with a smile. "Being mated will be interesting to try and explain to the humans. Should I call you my boyfriend or my husband?"

@β terazono keita Turns red as I hear you, seeming to understand what it means before I gasp softly, letting out a small groan at the feeling. Feeling your hand in my own, I let out a small groan once more but relaxes when you seem to finish. "I see but I feel like...that would end up riling you up and I don't know if that is a good idea." Of course, I wouldn't mind but we do have a long day tomorrow and I wasn't sure how both of us turning up with marks would be a good idea. "But after we come back I want to be able to mark you up before you go back to school. That way people will know that you are taken and to stay the hell away from you."

@ω kim hongjoong ♡ "Well..." Starts with a huff, trying to think about how to explain it. "To make a good mark, you have to bite a little and then at the same time. The goal is to break blood vessels to create a bruise without making a clot, so it's always better to go slow and repeat your actions until it's good and dark enough." The explanation given feels weird to say out loud, so I shake my head a little and move lower, lifting up your shirt to put a mark onto your chest - where your parents won't see when they come over. "Let me demonstrate." Plants a few small kisses before nibbling at your skin, alternating between gentle and bites. "Like this..." Humming on your skin, my arm loops around your waist, keeping you pulled close, while the other moves to find your hand, lacing our fingers together, keeping the grip even after I'm satisfied with the mark left on you.

@β terazono keita Feels ticklish as you do this and giggles as I submit to you, letting you cover me. "I just...I don't want them to have any reason to tease you so I wasn't sure if it would be alright to do that to you. But if you don't mind I would love to be able to mark you as I do but you have to explain it to me. I was never told about it so I don't know anything. And I don't know if what you are doing is instinct or what was explained to you." Feels embarrassed about being so sheltered but knows that my parents were doing what they thought was best for me. "Do I have to bite you hard or just...rub against you or little nips like you are?"

@ω kim hongjoong ♡ Hums softly as you scent me, moving a little bit so you can hit all the soft spots and cover me in your scent. The urge to do the same rises, and I bite my lip before picking you up and putting you onto the bed, laying down with you; nibbling on your neck and nuzzling my scent into you. "You can mark me all you want, my love. Humans don't have the same sense of smell that we do, so a visual reminder will be good for them." Mumbles the words between little nips, leaving your neck covered in soft red marks.

@β terazono keita "Oh, if we can find a space like that then yeah let's do that!" Grins a bit before I nod, pecking your lips and going back to nuzzling and scenting you. "Yeah we can do that for you, a nice decent study just for you to keep your books in and for you to work whenever you need to." After I feel happy that my scent is over you, I pull back though my cheeks are a light red from what I was doing. "Now you smell like me and I smell like you. Just wish I could mark you as you do me but it's not as good." Pouts softly at this, just not wanting any other males or females to go near you.

@ω kim hongjoong ♡ "Maybe then we can go towards the lake instead? Most of that area is pretty quiet, and we can still put out fish traps and have a pump to get running water?" Offers the alternative, wondering if it will be cheaper than digging a well, but not bringing that up just yet. "All I really want is an office space or library. I'll ending having quite the collection of books from studying and teaching, so I don't want that to spill into common space. I figured that would be easy to put in as a small side room."

@β terazono keita Smiles at this, moving my hand as I lean down and kiss over your heart before sitting up a bit. At this, I frown some before I shake my head a little. "I rather not have that honestly, I want to have our own space without people passing by so much. We can make the trip once a week to get water then and just take it back, that way we can have our privacy and put up or fences and things like that." Smiling softly, I lightly run my fingers through your hair and give out a content sigh, knowing this will be an amazing future for us. "What would you like to add to the house just for you? I know it's our family home but do you want your own space to do your own thing?"

@ω kim hongjoong ♡ Mmm..." hums for the kisses to my neck, stretching out so you can have more room to kiss and mark with your scent. "I think this is better than married. Being mates is a whole-body connection, as well as spiritually too. We're always going to be bound to one another, without needing rings or a silly piece of paper like humans. It's almost like our hearts have become connected." Takes one of your hands and brings it up to cover my heart, letting you feel the beating of it under your palm.
"I think... That shouldn't be too hard. There's a lot of waterfront space around the river, but then we'd have to be careful of other wolves coming close to our home. You know it's kind of a central area for the pack."
