you are my sunshine [ koder ]

[Rain]

you are my sunshine, my only sunshine
you make me happy when skies are gray

A black shadow zigzagged through the tall pastures of Chamoru Plains. The grass moved with the wind, apparently dancing in unison with the wind. The world seemed alive, moving around her like magic. As she walked through the beautiful valley, she began to think about someone that had stolen her thoughts for almost every day... Koder. At first, they had known each other and automatically Rain felt a connection to him. For some reason, she seemed curious about him, always wondering who he was and what were the trials that had happened in his life. But, last time, they had a sad separation due to Koder's awful past--something atrocious had happened to his late beloved, and Rain had begun to understand his pain.

But, in the end, they had reunited and now they were inseparable. A month and a half had passed since their last separation, and now every day spent with him was proving to be wonderful, making her stomach feel like it contained butterflies just wanting to escape. Her heart was always fluttering, and her eyes always glistened and sparkled when she spent time with him. The days no longer seemed so bad or so lonely with him, and she had begun to understand him and try to slowly open him up with her trust and tender attention. But today, she was starving, and she didn't want to bug him so early in the morning, so she decided to wander a little bit to see if she could catch something nearby. But after wandering for a while, she observed that she couldn't hunt alone--there was an elk in the distance that she couldn't knock down on her own due to its horns.

Returning to where Koder was, she saw his sleeping figure and a smile instantaneously formed in her lips. "Hey," she said softly, "hey... hun. Wake up." She coaxed him, trying to get him to wake up and help her hunt. Standing still, she waited patiently for him to wake up.

you never know, dear, how much I love you
please don't take my sunshine away

@koder I mentioned that he was asleep, but I can change that if you wish! <3

The world was swirling with colors and hues as Koder stood at the edge of a mountain and was looking as the sun set into the ground. A large plain stretched out so far that he couldn’t see anything beyond the horizon. A cool breeze ruffled through his fur, feeling a slight chill. However, soon he was standing in a small river. Behind him was a large pack of black wolves with red eyes and in front of him was a familiar face, white fur, but he couldn’t put a name on her. He tried to move, but he was trapped, the pack behind him was gaining up and the wolf in front of him, was slowly fading away. He tried to call out, but nothing came out, he could not speak. However, soon a soft voice spoke his name. A beautiful voice that was like a bird song after a morning shower, calling out to him. Soon the pack of wolves and the wolf in front of him disappeared. He was now standing in a field and a lone black wolf stood in front of him. It was Rain. He felt his heart pound in his chest as he took a step closer to her, he tried to speak, to tell her something, but he couldn’t. Soon it started to pour. Rain started to say something, but he could hardly hear her. She stepped closer, looking at him, “Koder—I.”

Suddenly, his eyes snapped open and the world came into focus as he shook his head. It was when he saw Rain standing before him that he realized that he had been dreaming. He was curious to know what Rain had said and what the dream had meant. The white figure, he knew who that was and for a split second a frown came across him, but he shook it away. “Good morning,” he told her as he stretched. So much has happened in the past few months. After some tough times, he finally came clean to Rain about what happened in his past – about his past beloved. It didn’t hurt like it used too. Sometimes he would stop and remember, but mostly it was the good times and sometimes like last night, she would appear in his dreams like a ghost, he could never make out who it was until he awake. But, with Rain, he always knew who she was. She took up his whole world now. There was something he knew he had to tell her, something that had been bugging him the last few days, deep within his heart. But, he remained silent. Part of him was still holding back.

“You’re up early.” He said, not even knowing what time it was, for all it could be in the afternoon and it was he that was sleeping in late. He did enjoy his sleep. “Did you sleep well?” He asked her as sat down. He felt like he could spend the rest of his days like this. It was peaceful.

OOC:: YES so excited <3

[Rain]

i want to tell you so many stories
of how you make me feel alright

Rain's eyes lightened when she saw that Koder woke up, and a smile quickly formed in her lips. "Good morning," he greeted her, and she smiled at him in return. "Good morning, sunshine," she said, wagging her tail as a few giggles escaped from her insides. She then listened when he said that she was up early, and proceeded to ask her if she was alright. Rain nodded and sat down, for a moment making a pout, letting him know she wanted something. "I just woke up very hungry," she began, "and... y'know. I saw an elk. And I kinda want it, but I can't bring it down alone," she kept her tail wagging slowly, hoping to warm his heart as she withdrew her ears and flattened them against her head.

She liked this. Waking up next to him, teasing him, having fun with him... she liked how it felt. She liked the idea of settling down with someone and ending her loner days. She began to embrace the idea of maybe joining a pack, maybe forming a happy family with someone. And she wanted Koder to be that someone--even if they hadn't been together for the longest time, the month and a half they had known each other and spent together was already proving to be awesome. However, she analyzed Koder many times, and she observed that something was still... off. There was something about him that she felt he was holding, something that he was keeping, and Rain couldn't guess what. She was extremely good at reading people and getting to know their usual behavior; she knew how the other was feeling just by looking at their eyes.

But Koder... even if she knew that he had slowly changed for the better these past two weeks, she wanted to know him more. To figure out all his curves, all his edges and his flaws, his strengths and his weaknesses. She was insanely curious about him, but Rain knew that the best things in life came when one was patient. She knew better than to push him into telling her everything, and she had to learn how to be patient many times in her life. And for Koder, she'd wait as long as it needed to be for him to trust her fully. She stood up playfully, motioning him to follow her. "C'mon! I'm staaarving!" she said as she walked towards the elk, but before she went on, she stopped in her tracks to wait for him to follow her.

with stormy weather i feel much better
because you are by my side

“Hungry you say?” Koder said with a hearty laugh as he leaned in a little closer. “Yes, I can hear your stomach rumbling alright.” He said as he stretched some more. Days like this were peaceful and he was grateful for every moment he got to spend with Rain like this. However, deep in his mind he couldn’t help but worry. What if something goes wrong? What if he loses Rain too? The thoughts put a hard lump in his throat. Perhaps that was the reason why he was holding something back. Sure, he wasn’t running away like he had before. He was more open and honest with her about his past. He was also more relaxed as if a burden had been released. But…there was still just something. Deep down, Koder was still afraid. It seemed whenever things were going right in his life, something always went wrong. Before he was scared to be happy because he didn't believe he deserved it or that he would once again lose someone close and he didn’t want to experience that again. Even though he tried to push Rain away, he couldn’t, he always came back to her.



“I’m coming,” he told her, “it’s not like you’re going to starve to death!” he told her as he nudged her playfully. He decided to push the negative thoughts away. He didn’t want to worry Rain for she was good at sensing out things. He wanted to enjoy the time he did have with her, even if it was going to be short lived. “Come show me where this elk is and I will show you the ropes into bringing it down.” He said with a sly smile as he began to make his way out of the den, with a walk full of pride and dignity. He turned around and laughed. It had been a long time since he felt so much joy and happiness. He felt at ease whenever he was with her. He wanted nothing more to be by her side. He wanted to know everything. The good, the bad, the ugly. He wanted to do anything he could to see her smile, because it was the most beautiful thing he has ever seen before.



“You’re really beautiful, you know?” The words slipped out of his mouth before he could stop it. Koder wasn’t a sentimental being. He was one to show his feelings through his actions and not by his words. After all in his mind, actions speak louder. One could easily tell you how they feel and it could be a lie. He turned his head away from her for a second, catching his composure, before turning back to her again, and looked deep into her eyes.


How could he be so lucky? If this was a dream, he never wanted to wake up.

OOC:: Gahhh they're just too cute <3 

[Rain]

the sky is brighter, the days are longer
my smile is never going away

Rain's smile was incredibly wide, her eyes sparkling with joy as Koder confirmed her hunger by getting closer and listening to her stomach. She laughed and he did too, making her wag her tail a mile a minute. Her heart was fluttering, beating with joy and ecstasy due to the precious moment they were having. After Rain insisted him to come and follow her, she began to laugh at what he was saying. “I’m coming!” She laughed while she hurried ahead, wagging her tail and giggling uncontrollably like a small pup. “It’s not like you’re going to starve to death!” "I will if you don't hurryyyy!" she whined playfully, her tail wagging as he walked next to her and nudged her.

“Come show me where this elk is and I will show you the ropes into bringing it down.” Rain nodded excitedly, walking next to Koder as they walked towards the elk's location. "I would love to be your student," she said flirtatiously as she brushed against him while they were walking. However, she was stopped in his tracks when, after a short silence, Koder spoke something that rendered Rain speechless. “You’re really beautiful, you know?” Rain turned her head to face his, and her grey gaze met with Koder's yellow eyes. She smiled, and for a moment, she just stood quiet, her legs shaking and her eyes watering. A big smile formed in her lips and her tail wagged, and she immediately threw herself against him and embraced him, pushing her head under his chin and neck fur.

Rain had always been a female that always knew what to say. But this time, she had no clue, and she loved it. She just let her body do the talk, her tail wagged and her eyes got very teary. It has been so long since someone had told her that, that she was beginning to think otherwise. But she never knew how much she needed Koder to tell her that she was beautiful until now. She took a deep breath, and broke the embrace before looking at his eyes once more. "You take my breath away."  She smiled at him as she licked his maw affectionally. For a moment she had forgotten her hunger and all that mattered was him. Everything was blurred, and the only thing that came out as crystal clear was him. Smiling, she stood still in anticipation, just in case he had to say anything else before continuing.

because together we're all much better
there are no days colored gray

@koder <3 They're too cute.

[Deleted]

His heart pounded in his chest as his heart ached as he looked at Rain before him. He felt his body grow hot as she spoke and then licked his maw. They haven’t known each other for very long, but it was as if they consumed each other. The world no longer mattered, in the fact it was as if the world revolved around them. He wasn’t sure what was going to happen tomorrow, but all he knew is he wanted to be by her side. It was odd though, their actions toward each other were different than was before. They were closer now, they didn’t keep their distance, and moments of silence would stretch as they would just gaze into each other’s eyes. Yet, no words were spoken. They weren’t friends. It was quite clear to anyone who would witness them together. But then, what were they? Koder wasn’t too concerned about titles. All he knew is that he liked her and he wanted to be with her. No, that wasn’t quite right. There was something more to it than that. But, he swallowed and let the feelings drift away.



He shook his head as he made his way out of the den. “Come,” he told her in a soft voice, “let’s go find our meal shall we?” This is how Koder was. He wasn’t a sentimental type of guy. He felt uncomfortable and he didn’t like situations where he wasn’t in total control. He took a deep breath to gather his composure. “I can sense it.” He turned over to Rain; it was as if what was just said never happened. He knew that hunting down a healthy Elk was going to be difficult without some planning. It wasn’t just like a typical deer. “Was it injured at all?” He asked her. He was having a hard time even looking at her, acting like everything was normal, because it wasn’t. Things were slowly beginning to change and he was slowly beginning to become aware of it. Because of that, it was getting harder for him to keep his cool when he was around her. He was slowly slipping and he was afraid that those were going to escape from him before he could stop it.



But why was he so afraid to say those words? After all they were only three. Simple. Little words.



But, they held more meaning than there was stars in the sky.



They would change his world forever, change everything. If he said those words, there would be no going pack. The past would be frizzled out forever and he would have to step into the unknown with Rain.



That would mean forgetting all about Wail. Moving on from her, would that be too cruel? He knew that she would want him to find happiness; she told him that…



He turned his attention back to Rain.



She meant so much to him. She had been there for him. She consumed his dreams, his thoughts, and his world. She was all that he thought about. He could no longer imagine a world without her by his side. Why was he so scared? He wanted to be with her, right? Of course! The answer was so simple, it was staring at him in the face this whole time and he had been ignoring it, trying to avoid it. But, not anymore.



He couldn’t contain the words anymore. And without missing a beat.



“I love you.”

OOC:: I tihnk I'm gunna die from this post! I'm almost in tears! GAHHH

[Rain]

Rain smiled at Koder when she heard him speak. “Come, let’s go find our meal shall we?” Rain nodded, wagging her tail and walked forward. She could feel her heart beating quickly on her chest, and her body temperature was high due to the closeness she was experiencing with him. She felt like she desired him, part of her wanting to surrender herself completely to him, with no second thoughts about it. 

“I can sense it.”  His voice broke through the silence, making her turn her head over to him. “Was it injured at all?” "No," Rain said, "it looked pretty healthy... and fat." Rain laughed at her own comment, walking him to where the elk was proudly standing, eating the soft grass of the valley that surrounded them. As they walked, the familiar figure of the elk became visible in the distance. But, when Rain was going to show him the elk's location, three little words made her freeze.

"I love you," 

Her eyes widened while her legs felt slowly more and more feeble, her attempt to grasp reality was slowly receding. Was this real? Was he telling her those words? Or was this all a dream? She could feel the tickling of the grass, the caressing of the wind, so yes... it seemed real. And Koder was there, so it truly was reality. Her eyes watered, and all she could do was throw herself against him once more, tears running down from her eyes. 

"...I love you too," she said between sobs, her heart fluttering with joy and emotion. She felt overjoyed that she had met Koder, and she felt like the world around her ceased to exist and only he was there. And she had never been able to put what she had been feeling into words, and Koder just did. She felt relieved, like a part of her had always been doubting if he really felt the same way she felt towards him. And now, she was here, embracing him and wagging her tail, crying under his chin, staining his fur with her tears.

Smiling, she looked into his eyes, and suddenly got lost in them. "Koder," she began, "You really do take my breath away," she said as she licked away the tears from her maw. However, she was interrupted with a strong sound that apparently came form her insides--her stomach. She had completely forgotten about her hunger. Looking at Koder and laughing, she waited for him to know what to do now.

@koder :'D

[Deleted]

Koder stood there frozen once the words had finally slipped from his lips. He felt like a child scared of a storm, he wanted to run away, but his feet were planted upon the ground. He didn’t want to lose his composure so he didn’t move a muscle; his eyes were glued upon Rain. He felt like an idiot. Why did he blurt it out just like that? He wasn’t thinking. The words escaped all on their own, he had no control over it. It didn’t dawn on to him what would come after he said it though. He wasn’t thinking about Rain’s response. He knew that she didn’t hate him and it was obvious she had some warm feelings for him. But, that didn’t mean she felt the same way. He had treated her quite horribly in the past, with all the running away and the fact that he had once loved someone before. I’m sure those weighed on her mind quite a bit. What if she didn’t feel the same way? What if she only liked him as some kind of friend or something? His mind was beginning to get dizzy and his heart was pounding as the silence drew on.

Tears ran down Rain’s face and he wandered if he made a horrible mistake. He was just about to apologize when she pressed herself against him.

Rain then broke the silence with words that filled his heart up. He took a deep sigh, not realizing he had been holding his breath. He felt like a burden had been lifted, he now felt like he was light enough to fly. He loved her and she loved him back. It was a wonderful feeling. He wanted to jump all around, but that was not quite in his character so he remained where he was. He didn’t even know what to say after all of this. It all came out of nowhere. He just stood there and watched her. He smiled warmly at her. He was truly happy. The love he had for her was overflowing.

“I suppose…we…should get to that elk now, huh?” He asked her after what seemed like an eternity of silence. He wandered if that was the wrong thing to say. Should he have said more? Was there something else they were supposed to do? His mind was running a million miles an hour as he tried to figure it out. He wasn’t the best when it came to this kind of stuff. He didn’t want to mess anything up. He didn’t want to make Rain cry. He wanted to spend the rest of his life making her smile.

OOC:: Yay! They're finally official :D & now Koder is going to need a new table lol

[Rain]

Rain was practically drinking in his scent, experiencing pure ecstasy as she let herself melt into him for a couple of minutes. She was happy, and there was nothing that could stop that from happening right now. He made her happy, and what was even better was that they loved each other. Never before in her life had Rain thought that she would find such an amazing mate... wait. Were they mates? Rain had no clue. But for time's sake, they were just starting their relationship in all the sense of the word. She knew better than to rush things, so she decided to just let things blossom with time. Rain had all the time of the world, anyway.

And with Koder, well... time was eternal.

“I suppose…we…should get to that elk now, huh?”

Rain smiled, taking a few steps back reluctantly to look back into Koder's eyes once more. He broke the silence, and for a moment Rain got sad because the moment had ended; however, she was careful not to show it, since she didn't want Koder to feel bad. She was still teary eyed, but it was out of happiness, and she didn't want to have it any other way. She smiled at him, a glint of excitement covering her features before turning around and walking side by side with him. She was starving, so she proceeded to nod at him and smile. "Let's go!" She said, wagging her tail as she made her way through the tall grass. After a while, the elk came into closer view. It was eating some grass, standing proudly, showing off its giant pair of horns. 

"There he is!" She whispered, careful to not raise her voice too loudly. She made her body go lower, closer to the grass, trying to shield herself by hiding in it. "What do we do?" she whispered lovingly, turning her head back to Koder, waiting for his signal. She was excited, but mostly hungry, so she was mentally praying, hoping that they would knock their lunch down.

Notes: Woo, I finally figured out how to use this table thingy!

[Deleted]

The little wolf didn’t quite know where she was anymore. She had been wandering around for a few weeks and now even if she wanted to return back to where she used to call home, she wasn’t sure she could find it anymore. She pinned her ears back as she lowered her small frame into the tall grass and looked around. She was no longer scared to be alone; she had grown accustomed to it. It had been more than a month since her parent’s disappearance and she knew that they wouldn’t want to dwell in the past. There was no point in shedding tears for them. For tears would not bring them back to life. It didn’t take her long to figure out what had happened. It was obvious there was a fight that had broken out and the blood that stained the ground…Lydia quickly shook her head, letting the thoughts dissolve as she looked around the plains. She saw a herd of elk nearby grazing in the grass, her mouth watered as her stomach began to growl. The little she-wolf hadn’t had much food in the last few weeks, she didn’t know how much longer she would be able to survive at the rate she was going.

“I’m so hungry,” she mumbled to herself as she finally stood tall and began to make her way through the grass. She knew she had to be wary, for there were predators around every corner. She knew she didn’t stand a chance against anyone. Even if she wasn’t scared…that didn’t mean she didn’t feel lonely. The nights were becoming too long and she wondered if it would be easier just to die. But, she couldn’t give up, she had to keep on fighting, for that is what they would have wanted.

I wonder what that is.

Soon a new smell engulfed her nostrils, a smell that was nogalistic, something she hadn’t realized how much she missed – the smell of other wolves. She took a few steps back though, not sure if they were dangerous or not. She soon spotted them off in the distance; she hid in the tall grass, closing her eyes. She could only pray that they wouldn’t notice her.

Koder felt slightly bad for changing the subject, but it was getting a little uncomfortable, which seemed kind of odd since he was the one to just blurt out his feelings like that. He shifted his weight as he gently nudged Rain lovingly, giving her a warm smile. He was glad that he had her beside him and he would do everything in his power to keep it that way. He never wanted to lose her. She completed him. He was lost and now he was finally found. It wasn’t long before he spotted the elk that she had mentioned. It was standing by himself quite a ways from the rest of the herd. Koder lowered himself beside Rain. Thankfully the breeze was sweeping their scent away from the elk. He motioned to Rain with his head the opposite direction. “We need to lock him in,” he spoke in a low voice to where only she could hear him, “to where he can’t escape. You run off behind him and I will chase him in the front. With a little bit of luck we should be able to bring him down before he spots us.” He knew that they had to be careful, it was dangerous, the elk was large and strong, but it would be a great victory and he knew that with the two of them, they could do it.

He signaled Rain that it was time once the elk’s back was turned from them. He lifted up his body as he slowly made his way toward the front of the elk, still keeping himself lowered to the ground. He didn’t need to startle the creature away until Rain was in position to attack. He waited for her to be in the perfect position. This needed to be precise, any wrong move on their part and they would have to settle for a rabbit for food. He ran his tongue of his teeth as he imagined the sweet savory meet of the elk. He could hardly contain his excitement as he shifted his weight. He turned his attention back to Rain and nodded his head, signaling that it was time to attack. He lunged forward with tear bear. The elk raised his head in alarm, but Koder managed to sink his teeth into the beasts neck before he could run off, he held on for dear life as the elk pounced around trying to shake him off. He used his claws, digging into its skin, to hang on as he chomped away, trying to bring the beast down.

OOC: You can do a bit of powerplaying if you need to in your post ^_^&nbsp;

[Rain]

After their lovely cuddle session had ended, they were on their way to hunt their lunch. The day shone brightly above them, and the tall grass danced with the soft wind; but for a moment, the world went silent for Rain. Her eyes were fully locked on her target as one ear shifted towards Koder to listen to what he was saying. She heard his beautiful voice in a low, soft whisper, that for a moment sent a small shiver down her spine. It made her smile, but she quickly got rid of the feeling in order to concentrate on the task at hand.

“We need to lock him in, to where he can’t escape. You run off behind him and I will chase him in the front. With a little bit of luck we should be able to bring him down before he spots us.”

Rain nodded as she observed the elk. She saw how it turned its back to them, grazing unknowingly of the danger that was approaching. Koder nodded, giving her the signal that it was time to get into position. Rain lifted from the ground a little bit, still stalking its pray with tactful skill. After she was in the perfect place behind it, she stood still, her body close to the ground, hiding beneath the heavy layers of grass that were above her. Her pulse began to get faster and faster, and for another moment, the world became silent once more. She could hear her breathing, her movements, and her heart pumping blood throughout her body--the adrenaline was quickly kicking in, making everything seem much more exciting.

Rain then returned her attention to Koder, and then she smiled at him. He nodded at her, and he lunged towards the elk in an aggressive and powerful attack. Koder had already bitten into the elk's neck and was biting him, not letting go of it even if it started to kick around. Rain lifted her body immediately, and with the momentum she had gained from running she leaped on top of the elk, grabbing it by the side of the neck as well. Rain began to bite it continuously as blood began to fill her ebony fur; her sharp teeth dug deep into the side of the cervine's neck. Working as a team, the elk slowly began to loose its strength, and it had stopped kicking and now it was standing there with its legs parted open, gasping for air as the blood dripped from its wounds.

Rain kept biting, feeling an immense rush of adrenaline pulsate throughout her body. The blood began to fill her legs, paws and face, but before it could get any worse, she stopped, still gripping the elk's neck. The animal then fell to its side in exhaustion, making Rain jump off from him. The elk then gasped until it passed away from asphyxiation. Licking the metallic-tasting blood from her snout, she wagged her tail as she looked at Koder. "We did it!" she exclaimed in pure excitement and joy. She looked at Koder, hoping for him to dig in with her. But, hunger got the best of her, so she proceeded to dig in first. However, for a moment, she had a lingering feeling that in the whole process, she was being watched. She raised her head occasionally as she ate, observing her surroundings, hoping that it was nothing dangerous...
