This is a wonderful story that my mate, and now fiance, did after the sweetest rp we had together. Everytime I think about it, or read this, I can't help but tear up, it is just so sweet.



The Engagement

Underneath a beautiful crystal clear lake, in a very remote location, a very loving couple is playing and having fun. A gorgeous female Drel named Shaiyla, is swimming along elegantly with her smooth silky pink and purple hair with blue tips dance about, her exquisitely exotic figure moving effortlessly through the water as her fins on her cheeks, elbows, back, tail, and heels glow blue, lighting the area around her and bringing out her gorgeous blue eyes and spots. Her mate, a Tigon named Cyfan, is chasing her around under the water, but unlike most creatures that need air, he can change his body into ice, thanks to his special abilities, so he can stay under there with her. His defined physique moves around with his ice wings, helping him to turn in the water as he easily keeps up with his mate, laughing at each other as they have fun.

As they keep chasing each other, playing tag and keep away with the rocks, coral and fish all around them. Cyfan knows that today is a very special day and glad that his mate took him to this special spot of hers. He is rather nervous about it, but does not show it as he plays with and chases Shaiyla. He is rather happy though, because they have been dating for a year on the 21st of June, and they are still in love as if they were on day one still.
Shaiyla laughs as she disappears from sight, leaving Cyfan to look about, trying to find his love. He zooms around the water looking in every nook and cranny he comes across when he suddenly hears her giggle.

“Ah, there you are.” He says as he swims quickly towards her, only to find out that she moved after he heard her, making him pout. But then he starts swimming around again, following a scent that he recognizes is her, and again, only to find out that it is one of her traps that she likes to set with him, to throw him off her track. As he looks about, he sees in the distance a very faint blue glow of fins, making him giggle as he zooms across the lake bed and right to his mate before she could get away again.

“Now I got you,” He giggles as he pulls her close to him.

Shaiyla puffs her cheeks out pouting a little bit, “You cheated”

“No I did not,” he smiles and lick-attacks her face, making her giggle her butt off. She paws at him as she giggles lots at him, making her tickle his sides to stop the vicious licking of her face. He laughs as he pulls her close to him, placing his hands on her waist, petting her there and she places her arms around his neck, looking each other into their eyes.

“Do you mind if I have this dance?” Cyfan asks as he smiles at Shaiyla.

“I would love this dance.” She purrs out as their bodies start to slowly sway with each other, looking as if there is music that only they can hear playing. Cyfan purrs out as he keeps his body moving around slowly, with Shaiyla’s fins setting the right amount of light to set the mood. The fish that have been swimming around now stop and watch these two lovers moving about in harmony, inspiring them to dance around slowly as well. Shaiyla giggles softly as she points to the fish dancing about, making Cyfan chuckle softly.

“Whoops, at least we are inspiring to them and they are having a good time.” He smiles at her and gives her a kiss with a purr.

“I believe that they are having the time of their lives right now watching us and dancing themselves.” She purred out, looking back into her mates eyes as he looks deep into hers, seeing the pure happiness that he brings into her life, knowing that she does the same to him.

As if by magic, soft music can be heard from an unknown source that cannot be seen making the mood that much more romantic.

Cyfan and Shaiyla smile at each other more, as they hold each other close now, and Shaiyla lays her head onto Cyfan’s shoulder after she moves her arms to around his chest. Cyfan purrs deeper as he gently lays his head onto hers holding her around her chest. Their eyes close form the love that they feel and the comfort that they bring each other when they are like this.

Shaiyla’s ears perk up and twitch as her eyes open to her favorite slow song, making her purr deeper now. Cyfan could not hold back anymore wanting to do this all day, but just now finding the right moment. Cyfan suddenly stops dancing, petting her sides as the music and fish keep dancing and playing, as if they know what he is going to do, and the ones not dancing watch the lovers.

“You know my love, our anniversary is coming up in a few days, and I have been thinking about what to get you. One thing comes to mind. Having you in my life is the best thing that has ever happened to me, and I don’t want it to ever end. Seeing as how you are perfect for me and I am for you in every way, I want you to have this,” Cyfan pulls out a small box from behind his back and gets down onto one knee. As he does that, one of Shaiyla’s hands covers her mouth and she starts to tear up from joy and the other, she places onto her heart as if to keep it from beating out of her chest.

“Shaiyla, my love, will you marry me?” Cyfan asks with clear nervousness in his voice, more nervous now than when he asked her out.

“Yes! Yes, of course I will marry you Cyfan!” she softly cries out as he slips the beautiful diamond ring onto her finger, standing up and hugging her tightly as she cries more now in pure joy. They begin to kiss each other very deeply and very passionately as he too starts to tear up, knowing that his life is now complete with Shaiyla, and he cannot wait to start the rest of his life as one with her.
