Syx had been anxiously planning this for weeks. A big grand romantic gesture. He’d been so nervous that she was going to figure out his plans as he stayed up late each night,building and plotting, his idea cloud and cork boards filled with his thoughts. Luckily his notes tended to be a disorganized array of disjointed thoughts and often even Minion had a hard time tracking them.
But now it was ready. With Minion’s help, he’d packed a picnic basket with food and wines. Cubed in the pack were blankets and other supplies he’d need to set everything up once they’d reach the destination. He could just fly them there on the hover bike, but the plan was to hike through the woods to get to the secluded overlook near the sand dunes by the beach. The journey being as important to him as the arrival. Timed out just perfectly so that at a good pace they would arrive right before sunset.
He wanted everything to be perfect for his tiger.
Within the pack too, had been his obsession. Something he’d been building for her over the course of the last months. Every time he thought he was done, another idea had crept up. A new necessary addition. Now, though, it was perfect. Or at least as perfect as he could make it without her input. Positively as giddy as he was anxious for her reaction, Syx made his way to Anna.
Watching her from the doorway with a lazy smile for a moment, he walked up and wrapped his arms around his mate. Humming and kissing her neck, he murmured, “Ready for our grand adventure, my tempting tiger?”
Anna had sensed that something was up.. not that she knew just what it was that Syx was planning, but she knew her mate well enough to know when he had something up his sleeve. No matter the fact that he was fluttering around the lair like a nervous butterfly.. but the fact that he seemed so excited about whatever he was building was another fair indication.
Despite the somewhat colder weather of the changing seasons, Anna didn’t bother to wear heavier clothing that day.. she was able to maintain her body temperature even when it was like this.. it would need to get a bit colder before she woudl begin to wear heavier clothing.
She looked over at Syx over her shoulder with a small smile, making a soft noise in the back of her throat as she leaned her head against his, the best she could do from this angle with him hugging her from behind.
“I believe I am,” She assured him, chuckling softly, “Do I get to know what we are doing yet?” She prompted, straightening fully to turn in his arms. Her own went to wrap around him, smiling tenderly at him before pressing a kiss to his lips.
“Weeeell,” Syx drawled out, running his fingers over her sides, “It’s going to start with a short drive over to the state park, then some hiking, and well I wont ruin then surprise,” he bounced back and held a finger in the air dramatically, “Buuuuut it does involve carefully selected foods and procured adult beverages and the stars,“ he waggled his brows at her as he bit his lip, “So I would highly recommend comfortable footwear,”
He rocked back on his heels, as giddy for the fruition of this plan as he’d ever been with any of his plots. It was heady, the nervous excitement and the wonder of how his audience would react to the grand unveiling. As a result, he was a tremendous ball of energy as he bounced about.
Dressing more sensibly for the trip, he’d donned a minimally spiked outfit with a simple black dress shirt, leather pants with a few decorative studs, and his trademark comfortable leather boots. His hands were even glove free for the day, he wouldn’t deny himself the skin contact. Not today.
