Wolford: Could we argue it was in our academy days?
Fangmeyer: Yes and no. We weren't exactly dating...nor did we start dating then, but I can say that was when I started to catch feelings for you. *Chuckles*
Wolford: We got paired off a lot during training and really hit it off to the point where we started actively seeking out getting paired up for exercises.
Fangmeyer: It must have been so obvious to the other cadets...but of course, it wasn't for us...
Wolford: For me that makes sense...I've always...well...I mean in terms of our strengths, she's always been the brains...I'm just a goof of a wolf...
Fangmeyer: *Chuckles* Don't sell yourself short babe...you've got a real knack for detective work...you have street smarts in spades...
Wolford: Well I was born and raised on Pack street...you gotta get streetwise quick to survive that place...*laughs*
Fangmeyer: Naturally our preference for partnering up followed us into district one. But I think it took us a year or two before we started...well I mean I think the feelings were there...but it was about building up the courage to admit our feelings to one another...
Wolford: Gods yeah, I mean this was before Dawn's book and everythin'...I wasn't just terrified as to what such a thing could do to our lives and careers if she felt the same way, and we made a go of a relationship. But if she didn't share my feelings, or was worse, revolted by them, I'd lose my best friend...
Fangmeyer: Aww....sweetie...I was the same way...but you still managed to be the first one to bolster enough courage to ask me...
Wolford: Spoilers, she said yes to goin' out on a date...and we sorta spilled the beans over dinner about just how deep our feelin's ran.
Fangmeyer: And that night...well...*Ahem*....things got heated pretty quick.
Wolford: Well...y'know we had been friends fer so long, and hung out all the time...so we wagered it was okay since we had technically been on thousands o' dates already without realizin' it...
Fangmeyer: *Giggles* Oh yes...it's the fastest I've ever moved in a relationship, but it...felt so right...like we should have been doing that for years at that point...
Wolford: We were kicking ourselves over how much time we lost. *Laughs*
Fangmeyer: And to clarify, I'm not the kind of girl to sleep with a guy on the first date...it's not my MO...
Wolford: Oh I know, I heard enough about the failed dates she had over the years that ended with a guy getting pawsy and leaving with a broken paw or worse...*Snickers*
Fangmeyer: But all those feelings, built up and ready to spill out for so many years...there was no other way the night could end...
Wolford: End? We went well into the next day? Oldwyn's muzzle, we called out sick just so we cou-...
Fangmeyer: *Places her paws out in a shushing gesture* Shush! Shush!... Bogo's gotten asks from this blog before...he surely checks in from time to time...*Ahem* We both took ill with a stomach bug from the dinner...
Wolfard: That's our official statement, yeah...*Snickers*
Fangmeyer: Like Nick and Judy, we kept things secret...pretty much up until Dawn's book kinda...well it brought up the interspecies conversation among our co-workers, and we were surprised to find most of our co-workers were very accepting of such a thing.
Wolfard: What floored me the most was finding out the Chief's wife was a doe!
Fangmeyer: He rarely ever talks about his private life...like ever...so to chime in with that...it...well it blew us away.
Wolfard: It gave us the courage to admit to everyone that we had been a couple for years by that point...although Bogo wasn't entirely happy with the reveal...not because of the interspecies thing, but out of the fear our feelings for one another might affect our performance...
Fangmeyer: But seeing as by that point we'd been dating for years, without any big issues regarding our performance, he didn't harp on it.
Wolfard: I know it must seem weird that we kept it so secret for so long...I mean, Dawn's book was about pred-prey couples, the most taboo of cross-species relationships, but that doesn't mean dating in the same diet but different species didn't have its own hang-ups. Its just...not as big a taboo by comparison...
Fangmeyer: We're coming up on our eighth anniversary...and now that it's all been out in the open for over a year, I'm starting to wonder when this lunkhead is going to ask me to tithe him...*giggles*
Wolfard: Hey! I'm gonna! I swear! I will make an honest tigress out of you! *Laughs* It's just...we've been together so long and I've been building it up so much that it has to be perfect...y'know?
Fangmeyer: *Places a paw under Wolfard's chins and strokes it gingerly as she cooes sweetly.* Babe, you could propose to me at a gas station with a 25-cent ring from one of those toy capsules and I'd be over the moon...
Wolford: A-Aww...Big Cat...*Blushes intensely, tail wagging a mile a minute* I love you so much...
Fangmeyer: *Smiles warmly before placing a soft kiss on Wolfard's lips* I love you too...
