The light chirping of songbirds tickled the hearing of the human figure stepping into the lightly decorated kitchen. He stopped in front of the refrigerator and looked at the flyer on the front for a moment before opening it. The flyer was advertising a mixed martial arts and wrestling event taking place that night, and he was listed as one of the fighters in the main bout. His name was Avner, but in the ring he was known by another name; “Kane, The Last Thylacine”. He closed the refrigerator door and moved to the bread cabinet with a piece of ham now dangling from his jaws between his teeth. Once his sandwich was made he sat at the table and began to chow down. It only took a minute and the whole sandwich was gone. He scratched his neck after and stood to go to the restroom. The hissing sound of running water from the showerhead flowed through the bedroom followed by a low billowing blanket of steam before the door closed.
A short while later the door opened and Avner moved to dress himself. He chose a sleeveless shirt and pants before looking at the clock. “I’ve still got time before I have to leave.” he thought as a new idea popped into his head. He looked at the bed and decided he would take a nap. He set the alarm on his phone and lay down on the bed on his back. He closed his eyes and began to drift off a moment later.
A short while later the sound of a door closing didn’t even register in the male’s mind as he continued to enjoy his nap. He was completely unaware of the female figure as she entered the house. She was a vixen. Blueish gray fur adorned her body with darker coloring on her hands and on her chest and belly. She stepped into the kitchen and rolled her dark blue eyes with a sigh at the empty plate still sitting on the table. She moved to pick it up, but stopped herself suddenly. She looked around the room and spied something that she hadn’t looked at in a while. It was a piece of heart shaped wood with words burned into it. The words said “Avner + Shazza Forever”. She smiled lightly before she turned to the refrigerator herself. She had just come back from a mid-afternoon run, and grabbed a drink of water before continuing on into the next room as her tail swished in the air lightly behind her.
Shazza entered the bedroom and leaned against the wall as she looked at the form of her fiancé sleeping on the bed. Avner was on his side now. His right arm was tucked under his head “He must be resting up for his match.” she thought to herself as she moved over closer to him. Her engagement ring glinted in the low light coming through the window blinds as she stroked his medium length brown hair. Suddenly an idea popped into her head. Something she hadn’t done in a little while. She smiled to herself as she crawled up onto the bed with him. Her movements were slow and stealthy. She moved around him and hugged him from behind. Her hands clasped in front of him as she snuggled up behind him and closed her own eyes.
The sound of his phone alarm going off caused Avner’s eyes to open slowly. He groaned a little groggily as he moved to reach for it only to find himself tethered to something behind him. He turned his head confused, but smiled at who he saw there. Shazza smiled up at him lovingly as she squeezed him tighter. The alarm had woken her up too.
“Afternoon Avner.” she said softly.
“Afternoon Shazza.” replied the human male. He tried to turn back, only for the vixen to squeeze him even tighter disapprovingly.
“I’m just going to turn off the alarm.” he said with a small sigh.
“But you have to go don’t you? I was hoping we could cuddle some before that.” she said truthfully.
“Don’t worry. That’s just the preliminary alarm to ensure I don’t sleep too deeply. I have a few more minutes.” he explained.
“Alright.” she said as she loosened her grip and let him reach for his phone. The sounds of the beeping stopped as he pressed the glowing red button on the screen and the room grew quiet after.
“There. How’s that?” he said as he settled back into the arms of the vixen behind him and turned to face her. Shazza leaned in and placed a kiss on his lips in reply. They snuggled up closer to each other before Avner reached for his phone again. Shazza looked up at him annoyed before noting him smiling back at her.
“Just had an idea. We haven’t done one of these in a while.” he said as he turned the phone over to show her the camera function was on. Shazza smiled again as she scrunched closer to the male as he snapped a photo of the two of them together. “Beautiful.” said Avner looking at the picture of the couple. A couple of button presses later and the digital snapshot was saved. The happy couple cuddled together quickly after and reveled in the quiet time they had together here.
A few moments later the alarm went off again and brought a sigh from both male and female. “That alarm means I have to go.” he announced. Shazza looked up at him with her ears pinned back sadly. “But we can pick up where we left off after the match is done.” he said as he stood to put on his costume. Her eyes flashed a moment as she remembered something.
“Don’t think I didn’t notice the plate you left in the kitchen.” she said with a smirk.
“I’ll take care of that when I get back too.” he said as he finished dressing. Glowing embers began to swirl around his right arm and concentrated on his hand.
“Good luck out there.” she said tenderly as he swiped his hand through the air in front of himself. The embers flowing began to spiral and in an instant he disappeared in a cloud of embers whose glow died before they touched the ground.
