Without further delay here's the story and I hope you enjoy it.
Akira grinned as she grasped a box containing her little present to her mate for Easter, she didn't celebrate Easter by any means but she loved the chocolate and she was certain that Sammy was the same. The chocolate she had bought was from a chocolate brand in Northern Ireland which meant that he most certainly had not had one before which was good. The canine bent down and placed the box containing the chocolate onto the ground, the grin not faltering as she proceeded to work on the present, the amount of effort she planned to put into the little present was at large, as if she was wrapping a Christmas present or preparing a birthday present. -Roughly 20 minutes later- "That bloody present was hard as hell to bloody prepare, these paws make precise corrections and additions difficult." The hyena uttered once she had finished preparing the gift, her somewhat Irish accent seeping into her words as she spoke. Akira lifted up the now rather large box and wrapped her left arm around it and brought it in towards her thighs, holding it tightly. The canine then used her other paw to lift her phone out of the right pocket of her leather jacket and entered the pattern to access it, she then went to contacts and scrolled past her family's numbers, snorting slightly at what she had called her mum and her sister. 'The Legend' and 'Dresus Christ'. She scrolled until she reached a contact known as Sammy with a dog paw and yellow heart emoji beside it and she tapped it, bringing up his number and a background that was a picture of her and Sam, her right arm was wrapped around him and her left paw was suspended in the air doing a peace sign, he had an arm wrapped around her waist and the other paw was also suspended in the air doing a peace sign, smiles were on both of their faces and Akira's tongue was sticking out slightly, the photo had been taken by their friend Ozzy and after a bit of blackmailing the hyena had persuaded the rabbit to send it to her. The canine tapped the call button below the contact name and raised the phone up to her ear and waited for her mate to answer, roughly ten seconds later the phone stopped ringing and she was addressed by a deep Texan drawl. "Hey Akira, what do you want? Or maybe you just love to hear the sound of my voice." The Texan uttered with a snicker at the end of the sentence. "You know I love your voice Sammy, it's so cute and your laugh is just precious, anyhoo I was wondering if yer free to go out somewhere, like the cinemas or somethin' as I wanna do something tonight and I have a present for ye'" The hyena said in an excited tone of voice, grin widening as she grasped his present tighter. "Theater eh? Sure why not, we'll decide on a movie when we meet up alright? And awh Akira... you didn't have to get me a present." The German Shepherd replied with the slight hint of confusion in his voice at the end of the sentence. "Yes I did Sam, Mind picking me up in about twenty minutes? Need tey dress to impress." Akira said before laughing lightly, she didn't really plan on putting on a dress or anything like that but she needed to at least look presentable. "You don't need to dress to impress me, you do that all the time, alright well I'll see you in twenty minutes." The other canine said in response with happiness seeping into his Texan drawl. "Okay right ye are, love ya." Akira replied quickly before moving the phone away from her ear and pressing the end call button. The hyena then let a quiet squeal escape from her muzzle before placing the box down carefully, along with her phone and power-walking to her wardrobe, she desired to change clothes as she had been sitting in the same clothes pretty much the whole day, she had a plain white t-shirt on, long jeans that she had tripped on a few times earlier today, a black hoodie and some black plain shoes. The hyena opened her wardrobe and examined what was available to her, she noticed a black leather jacket out of the corner of her eye and she lifted it out of the wardrobe with one paw and then resumed scanning the clothes, her amber oculars fixated upon a white t-shirt with red sleeves and she used her other paw to pick it out, once she had done that she proceeded to nudge the wardrobe doors close with her shoulders the canid then moved over to her bed and dropped the two items of clothing onto It before walking over to the drawers within her room and opened the middle drawer to reveal various jeans, she examined the trousers that were available to her and she picked up her gunmetal grey cassis and then used her knee to close the drawer again and then walked over to her television to get her steel toe boots. Once she had acquired her boots the hyena moved back over to her bed and proceeded to take off her current shoes and reach into one of her shoes to retrieve a clear object and then do the same with the other shoe, her insoles for her flat feet, Akira then put these insoles into her boots and then started to take off the rest of her clothing. -Two Minutes Later- Akira slipped her last arm into her leather jacket and pulled it around her before walking over to her office chair and lifting up her school blazer, rifling through the pockets until she found her earphones and her keys to the accommodation, putting the earphones and her keys into the right pocket of her jacket. The hyena then walked away from the office chair to the present that she had prepared for her boyfriend, crouching down and picking it up with both of her paws before wrapping her left arm around it and pulling it inwards towards her waist, before crouching down once more and retrieving her phone and putting it into the left pocket of her cassis. She then made sure that she had made sure that she had a good grip on the box and it was secured the canid sauntered towards the door to her room, opening it and walking out, as soon as she walked out she was greeted with the reflected image of herself thanks to a mirror her mother had placed right in front of her room and Akira ignored it since she knew if she gazed at the image of herself too long her doubts would start arising and she would judge herself harshly, needless to say she was thankful for the present but the placement wasn't exactly exuberant. The canine walked away from the mirror and towards the staircase of which she practically flew down and almost fell on the last step after that conundrum the predator headed into the kitchen in her little apartment that interconnected with a small living room and walked into the little living room to put the her boyfriend's easter present down, specifically on the left side of a sofa before returning to the kitchen area and she immediately walked over to a cupboard and brought out some 'Koka' noodles and 'Nutty Krust' bread to prepare. -Four Minutes Later- The hyena cautiously sat down on the right side of the sofa that she had placed the box on and quickly placed the bowl of noodles on the arm closest to her as they were extremely hot. She left them there for the time being and brought out her phone once again and removed her earphones from the right pocket of her jacket and then them into the earphone jack and put the earbuds into her ears, making sure to have the volume at a pretty low level due to her developed hearing that was somewhat sensitive to higher volumes and she proceeded to bring up YouTube and began watching random videos that were recommended to her automatically to pass the time and to allow her to watch something whilst she consumed her food. -Twelve Minutes Later- Akira pressed the home button on her phone and tapped the power button on it as well to put it on standby per say, she quickly returned the phone to the left pocket of her cassis as well as returning her earphones to the right pocket of her leather jacket before getting off of the sofa, and then power-walking to the kitchen part of the room and picking a little box off of the counter close to the microwave and then putting it into her leather jacket's left pocket. The hyena then walked quickly back to the living room section and picked the large box up again with her left paw and using her right paw to support it, before securing it by wrapping her arm around it and pulling it towards her thigh before removing her right paw from the underside of the large box. She then proceeded to the door out of her apartment and used her free paw to open the door, after that she walked through the now open door before turning back to look into her apartment. The hyena used her free paw once more to close the door and yet another time to retrieve the keys from her leather jacket's right pocket and to lock the door behind her to prevent anyone other than herself from gaining access to the section of building. She then walked away from her room of the apartment and through an open door that led her to a long staircase of which she took all the way down to the bottom floor and upon reaching the ground floor of the building the canine walked out of the building through the main lobby, through some rotating doors that one time she almost got her tail stuck in which gave her a panic attack at the time, the mere thought of it was not very pleasant. Now that she was outside her amber oculars scanned the car park in front of the apartment, looking for a white truck that her boyfriend drove and after a while of scanning she noticed out of the corner of her eye a white pick-up truck with a German Shepherd at the wheel approaching, the truck drove down the car park until it reached the end of the car park, turning left and slowing down before proceeding to park the vehicle, the low purr of it's engine stopped, thankfully the German Shepherd had parked it pretty close to the apartment meaning she didn't have to walk that far. Akira looked both ways to confirm that there were no other vehicles approaching that could hit her before walking across the road towards the white truck, whilst she walked the hyena put out her right paw in her left jacket pocket to make sure that the little box was still there, it was a tedious action to pull off but she managed to do it, the box was thankfully still there, if she had lost it then she wouldn't be able to do what she wanted to do, she took her right paw out of the pocket and returned it to her side. Eventually the female reached the truck and opened the passenger's door and used both her paws to push the box onto the seat, the noise caused by her pushing the box had caused her mate's ears to prickle and his head to whirl around suddenly at the source of the noise, when he gave her a confused look the canid chuckled lightly. "Hol' this a sec please" She said whilst gesturing towards the box of which a few seconds later the other monster grabbed and held, Akira then got into the truck herself, mindful of where her tail was. Once she had gotten into a comfortable position the monster closed the passenger's door and gestured for Sam to give her the box back, which he did after shaking the box a tiny bit and giving her a further confused facial expression which provoked her to giggle, the box now rested upon her knees and she held it secure with her paws. Akira's eyes shifted to her left and fixated upon her mate. "Thanks Sammy, ye did a quer good job aye" The canid uttered with a smile on her face and the other canine replied with a laugh before following it up with a sentence "Put your seatbelt on Akira." The hyena peered over at the other monster with a malicious smile upon her face "And if I don't pu-" "I will take a corner sharply and have you smash into the door" Her boyfriend interrupted whilst smiling cockily. Akira gave her mate an amused look but put the seatbelt on like he said. "This is why I'm the boss." The German Shepherd muttered, "What?" The hyena said whilst tilting her head to the head slightly which provoked the other canine to grin "Nothing." He said in response before reversing the truck out of the parking space and then driving down the lane he had drove down to get into the car park. "So what are ya thinking movie wise?" The hyena said as they drove along the road, she hoped he knew where the cinema was as she didn't want to use data to get directions to the place. "Hm.. maybe something to do with Sci-Fi?" The other monster replied whilst keeping his gaze forward, he then shifted down as they approached a roundabout and slowed the truck down so that they could get past the roundabout with relative ease. "Star Snek!" Akira beamed, which provoked Sam to chuckle lightly before replying "That movie about snakes in space eh? Seems alright... I think the new one came out fairly recently, should still be in the theaters." The German Shepherd said as they turned off the roundabout and drove down the road and another truck with a trailer attached to it drove out in front of them from a smaller road without indicating, resulting in Sam having to slam the breaks to make sure that they didn't crash into the trailer attached to the truck,which made his truck go from a moderate pace to a very slow pace. Akira made a gagging noise as the seatbelt strangled her for a second but once it loosened up the hyena looked quite irritated. "What the actual fuck is that cunt playing at?! Bloody bastard coulda wrecked yer truck and killed or injured us whilst 'e was bloody at it!" She snarled as the truck slowly drove down the road, Sam removed the paw he had rested upon the clutch of the truck and took Akira's paw in it, stroking her fur lightly. "It's alright babe calm down, it's okay." The Texan uttered in a calm tone of voice, a sigh escaped from the hyena's maw in response as she grasped his paw with hers, his mere embrace had calmed her down considerably "Alright Sammy... Sorry for swearin' so much." She said somewhat sheepishly before squeezing his paw slightly and then letting go of it so that he could focus on driving. "You've always sworn like a sailor Akira, I don't mind, everyone's allowed to get annoyed at times." The other canine said whilst giving her a reassuring smile after Akira had moved her paw away to allow him to focus on driving, after that the monster returned his paw to the clutch of the truck and shifted up a gear, speeding the truck up again and continuing further down the road before catching up to the truck that they almost crashed into and overtook it, whilst they did so the hyena stuck up her middle finger/paw at the driver out of his view which provoked the german shepherd to chuckle lightly. Once they had successfully passed the other truck they continued down the road for a few more minutes before turning left and heading to the outskirts of town. The truck went over a bump which caught the canine off guard, resulting in her making a desperate grab to keep the box secure and a yelp to escape from her muzzle which provoked the other canine to turn his head slightly so that she was in view. "You alright Akira? That bump scare you?" The german shepherd said with a frown upon his facial features and concern in his voice. "Yeah it did catch me off guard but I'll live... also I'm not alright I'm half-left." Whilst she was replying the hyena raised her free paw and kept it suspended in the air for a few seconds to examine with her amber oculars, her paw was shaking slightly like it did if something bad has happened, she then returned the paw to her side. "Half-left? What are you on ab- oh. Wow. Stop yourself." The german shepherd said in response with an unamused facial expression and upon hearing what he had said the monster giggled before speaking again. "What's the matter Sammy? You're looking quite 'pun'amused." This sentence caused Sam's facial expression to shift into an even more unamused state. "You need to stop." He said in response which resulted in Akira laughing instead of giggling. "I'll stop, just for you babe" The canine uttered with a smile on her face and the other canine let out a sigh of relief before turning right and heading down a decently long road. "Thank you Akira, anyway we're almost there now I believe, should just be down this road and to the left of us." Sam said before shifting up a gear and speeding up whilst staying within the speed limit. "No bother Sammy, anything for you." The hyena said before winking at her mate and then looking to the left of the truck, her head swivelling to look past her mate who moved his head in response to block her view which provoked an amused smile to show up on her face as she attempted to look past his head which was pretty easy given the fact that he had to put more concentration into not crashing than blocking her view, eventually the cinema came into view and the canine reverted her view back to her mate instead of looking out the window beside him. "Good job Sammy, ye didn't need me tay' get out my phone an' get some directions to the place, count me impressed." Akira uttered teasingly, although all that the german shepherd administered in response was a roll of the eyes and nothing more as he slowed the truck down and turned left, heading into the car park of the cinema. -A Few Minutes Later- Akira opened the passenger's door with her free paw whilst Sam took the keys out of the ignition of the truck, bringing the purr of the engine to an end before opening up his own door and closed his door after he had gotten out and waited for his girlfriend to get out and close the door too. The canine got out of the truck after placing the box containing her present to her mate on his seat and walked around to the rear of the truck after closing the door behind her. Sam used the same keys to lock the truck behind him and joined Akira at the back of his truck. "Nice parking cutie." The hyena remarked teasingly pointing before pointing at the back wheel that was over the white lines by just a bit. "Well i'd love to see you try to drive, oh wait you can't yet since you're too young." The german shepherd responded cockily which resulted in Akira folding her arms and turning away, pretending to sulk jokingly in response but in reality she really wanted to learn how to drive already she didn't have to try extremely hard to pull a convincing sulk since it was practically real. "Let's just go to the cinema already." The Northern Irish female uttered in response, not bothering to attempt to come up with a comeback since she was horrible with those. If she tried to make it would have probably been something along the lines of 'Your mum can't drive! Ha!" Sam started walking towards the entrance to the cinema and Akira padded after him, slowing down once she had reached his side and outstretching one of her paws for him to hold which moments later, he took in his own. "I hope you know it's 'theater' not cinema right?" "Oh my god Sam don't ye' dare start this." "It's theater though." "I swear to actual God mate I will legit smack your annoying yet attractive face." "Daww that's cute." "Shut yer' facial features." "Bu-" "Just shush." "No." "For me?" "Mmm... maybe." "Welp it does ney' matter now mate we're at the door now." The texan broke the hold he had on Akira's paw and used his two paws to push the doors to the cinema open, before walking through them and holding them open for his mate, who padded it mere moments after him meaning that he did not have to exert his strength for an extended amount of time the two then walked over to the desk at which they would be able to acquire their tickets, beverages popcorn and sweets, or as Sam called them and many other americans called them 'Candy'. They were greeted by a rather unenthused and bored looking feline in their uniform who upon seeing them got out of their slouched position and peered at the couple with their light green oculars. "Welcome to the Onmidex Theater-' Sam nudged Akira with a cocky smile. "What are you wanting to see today?" The feline pondered with an unenthusiastic facial expression. The hyena nudged Sam back in response to his cocky smile as an indication to one, wise up and to two actually tell the employee what movie they wanted to see. "Uh, two tickets for Star Snek IV Retribution, two small cokes and a bucket of popcorn please." The german shepherd said to the employee who merely nodded in response and started getting all of the things that they had asked, starting with the tickets. The Northern Irish canid then peered at Sam with her amber oculars instead of looking at the feline as they worked on getting all that they had requested and she let a yawn escape from her muzzle and when she was about to explain why she had yawned, the other canine spoke. "Lemme hazard a guess and say that you're tired because you stayed up till like 4 am talking to Ozzy and the others, am i right or am i right?". If she was being completely honest she wasn't expecting him to actually know. "Yeah... wait a sec, how did ye bloody know?" The hyena retorted with a confused expression upon her facial features. "I was there for a while, it was like 12 am when i went off and i distinctly remember you almost drunkenly exclaiming over message that you would stay up to 4 am because 'yolo' as you put it." Sam said in response with a suave grin upon his face and a facial expression he could describe as offended appeared upon his girlfriend's face. "Hey! I've never drunk a drop of beer or anythin' in mi life mate, plus me ma always told me that i'd probably be a complete an' utter cunt when i was drunk." The canine retorted with an almost triumphant facial expression replacing her offended one, the other canine was about to say something in response but the feline behind the counter cleared their throat to get their attention as they stood there with their tickets, beverages and snack upon the counter which signalled for Sam to take his wallet out of the pocket of his flannel shirt. "That'll be forty dollars." The feline said with a lackluster tone of voice, the texan rifled through his wallets but only found twenty dollars, before looking back at his mate with a slightly anxious facial expression but the hyena reached into her cassis pockets, hoping she still had money leftover from the last time she went into the town with her boyfriend which she did, she retrieved it from the pocket and counted it up, coming to a total of twenty five dollars which she handed all but five dollars to her mate who upon receiving the required money turned back to the employee and handed them the money and after they counted up the money, the cat nodded "Alright, enjoy the movie.". Akira grabbed her ticket and the two cokes, whilst Sam grabbed his ticket and the bucket of popcorn and the two walked over to another feline, this one having a more enthusiastic facial expression and was holding out their hand for the two tickets which the couple gave to them, though the two's paws came into contact whilst in the process of giving their tickets to the feline which resulted in Akira chuckling quietly. "Alright looks good you two, Screen Four and right at the back alright?" The cat said to the two after checking their tickets. "Alright, thank you." The hyena said before walking past the employee and standing there until Sam joined her. The two then walked down to the screen they were allocated to though it was somewhat far down the hallway of screens so they talked a bit to kill time. "So how about that airplane food am I right?" The canine said as her tail swished slowly behind her. "Pretty shitty to be honest." The other canine said in response. "Aye but I had Pringles an' a can of coke on my first plane experience comin' back from London." Akira remarked, her accent that she swore she didn't have leaking into her voice. "That's not proper food Akira, just saying." Sam remarked, watching as his girlfriend's grin faltered slightly before she spoke again. "Tis in my books Sammy Boi." The female canid said before they reached screen four and instead of letting Sam get the door for her and hold it for her like the cute little gentleman he was, Akira opened the door and held it open for him. "Ladies first." The Northern Irish hyena uttered jokingly but unexpectedly the other monster snorted and went through with it, mere seconds later the monster padded in after him and was met by him holding yet another door open with a smug grin upon his face which provoked her to laugh. "Oh my god Sammy, One yer bloody hilarious and i love you for it and two i'm not royalty okay ye don't have to open and hold every door fer me alright?" The canid uttered to the texan as she walked through the door that he held open for her. "No promises Akira." The german shepherd responded whilst quelming a snicker as he was aware of the fact that him opening every door for her would start to annoy her as one she often wanted to hold the door for him and two the hyena wasn't fond of having him do everything for her. The other canine walked in after her and allowed the paw supporting the door to drop to his side yet again as he walked away from it. The two lovers were greeted moments later by a gigantic screen playing advertisements and they walked up the stairs to get to the rear of the screen room like the feline had said for them to. A few minutes later they had settled in their seats, Akira had her cup of coke in the cupholder to her left and had already placed Sam's in the seat to her left but he sat in the seat to her right to spite her, causing her to turn to him with a fake unamused expression on her face. "Really, ye bloody schemer." The hyena said before laughing quietly and punching him in the shoulder playfully after he placed the bucket of popcorn on the seat to his right, she then took the other canid's drink in her left paw and handed him it, which he took and placed in the cupholder to his right. The two then fixated their gaze upon the large screen as the advertisements drew to a close and the movie's beginning was displayed on the screen. -Roughly fifteen minutes into the movie- Akira's head drooped to her right slowly and came to a rest, leaning on Sam's shoulder as she began snoring lightly. The german shepherd chuckled quietly as he moved his left arm to put wrap around the sleeping canine, pulling her into a bit of a hug but not too tightly as it may rouse her from her slumber and she looked comfortable and satisfied. The texan allowed his head also to drop slowly and he too leaned upon his mate slightly, although his oculars remained open as he continued to watch the movie, he moved his head carefully and proceeded to nuzzle the sleeping monster lightly and kiss her forehead. "Sweet dreams Akira." -An hour of careful cuddling, snoring, popcorn eating, coke drinking and snakes embarking on galactic expeditions later- The german shepherd still had his arm around his mate, cuddling her as she slept and as he watched the remainder of the movie, whilst she was sleeping Sam had heard multiple cute noises originate from her including her snoring in general, although his thought process was interrupted by a groan originating from the female canid, he peered down at her and noticed her amber oculars open slightly before closing again and then opening again but staying open this time and a yawn escaped from her muzzle, though she didn't move, she still looked comfortable. Akira peered up at him with a drowsy facial expression. "Sorry.. For using you... as a pillow... and for... sleeping during the... movie... I swear it was... interesting but i just...." The tired hyena trailed off, not resisting the yawn that moments later escaped from her muzzle. "Shh... it's okay Akira... you needed rest anyway." The german shepherd whispered, assuring her that t was perfectly acceptable before kissing her on the lips, she was too tired and far from desiring to stop her boyfriend from kissing her and she made an attempt to kiss him back but it was rather lackluster, the kiss lasted for about ten seconds before the texan broke it off and smiled reassuringly at his girlfriend. "There's only about ten minutes left until the movie is over sleepyhead, think you can stay awake?" He uttered teasingly. Akira retorted with a grin of her own "Yeah i think i can, just for you though... otherwise i would.. You know..." The hyena trailed off again before allowing herself to yawn again and then following it up with another statement. "Though i don't plan on movin' anytime soon if that's quite alright with you..." Hinting at how his mere embrace comforted her and how much she enjoyed just being there with him. "Y'know... i'm honestly... the luckiest gal... on this planet..." "Why's that?" "I have... you..." "Awh Akira, you're gonna make me blush if you keep this up." "I'm bein' serious 'ere... I don't know what i would do without you... you are my everything... an' i love you... from the bottom of... my heart..." "Aw... I love you too... " "My... black heart..." "Don't kill the moment." "He... he.. Hey Sam..." "Yeah?" "Y'know the way... i couldn't get ye anythin... for yer birthday an' i beat myself... up over it..." "I wasn't expecting anythi- "Shh... today i'm gonna make it... up to ye..." "..." "Hehe... you'll love... it, i promise..." -A few moments of silence- "So what the hell... even happened in... the movie..." "It's a long story, i can tell you about it on the way back to your apartment if you want." "Actually.. Nevermind I'm... good..." "Why's that?" "I don't like... sci-fi... all that much... I picked it because... well... yer a slut for... sci-fi..." "Oh my god Akira." "Haha..." Akira tapped Sam's arm that was fastened around her almost protectively to insinuate her desire to be freed from his grasp temporarily, his paw was moved almost immediately after she was released from his hold the female grabbed their cup of coke that she still had yet to drink from and raised the straw to her muzzle and sipped, her face scrounged up immediately as the coke had went flat and she absolutely despised coke whenever it was flat. "Eugh... Disgusting..."Akira muttered before returning the flat beverage to the cupholder and then returning her head to it's original position, leaning on Sam once again although before the other canine could offer if she wanted his arm around her again the hyena raised her paw and took his paw that was previously around her and returned it to it's original position herself, giving the german shepherd a tired smile as she did so, though her boyfriend didn't complain, he merely smiled back. Both of them were comfortable this way and they both gazed into eachother's oculars affectionately as they say there, their attention was taken away from the scene playing on screen which was a female and male anthropomorphic snake lying next to each other, peering into one another's eyes. After a few words the two snakes kissed each other and Akira and Sam did the same. As the credits began to roll the couple got up from their seats, both with happy expressions upon their faces. The two went down the stairs side by side, holding onto one another's paw affectionately. They eventually made their way out of the room somehow avoiding more conflict over holding the doors for one another and the hyena had her free paw buried in the pocket of her leather jacket that the smaller box was contained within as he eagerly anticipated her mate's reaction to her presents, they walked out of the building together and started walking over to Sam's truck although Akira went over her ankle causing her to yelp in surprise but she managed to save herself from falling and not bring the german shepherd down with her in the process which in turn resulted in her laughing sheepishly, a tad embarrassed from the slip up. "Have a nice trip Akira?" The other canine remarked teasingly which provoked a groan of disapproval to originate from the canine. "I swear te' fuck... i now wish i properly fell... only to drag yer ass down wey' me ya...bloody cunt." Akira retorted tiredly, granted if she did fall and brought her mate down with her it would be both good and bad; bad as his full weight would have probably come crashing down onto her but good as it gave her another opportunity to kiss him. That was if of course she wasn't too busy swearing at him out of pain."at least it wasn't as a result of being drugged, then you would have been properly tripping." The other monster remarked once more which resulted in another disgruntled noise to come from the hyena. "Stop you're becoming me. Only i'm allowed tey' be me." The female canid uttered before breaking the grip she had upon his paw as they had reached his truck and she power-walked over to the driver's side and attempted to open the door to the truck. "You are not driving my truck alright babe? No way, listen i love you and all but this is my ba- my uh second baby we're talking about here." The german shepherd uttered, correcting himself as he noticed his mate raise an eyebrow when he was halfway through his sentence, he too power-walked over to the driver's side and waited for her to back away before unlocking the truck with the key although Akira moved back to the door and took the large box that she had placed on the driver's seat out of the truck before gesturing for him to shut the door again and lock it. "I want ye' tey open it now, i'm gettin' impatient an' i wanna see yer reaction Sammy." The hyena said confidently, before snickering slightly, fortunately Sam complied and shut the door to his truck once more and followed her as she padded over to a bench that was closeby which was facing the sunset. Akira placed the large box at the leg of the bench and soon after Sam sat down beside her. The northern irish female then hoisted up the box again and handed it to her mate, who proceeded to shake the box a bit in an attempt to get a vague idea as to what it was. "Oh yeah, yer gonna have... tey use your... " She interrupted her sentence with a yawn unintentionally. "claws Sammy..." As the sun started over the horizon, it practically set the sky alight, making it a beautiful orange colour and Sam opened the box after using his claws to rip the sellotape off of it, however upon opening the box he lifted out it's contents which was smaller box with some writing on it. -'I bet you know 'egg'xactly what this is' With a snort the texan opened this box and it's contents were of the same calibre; another smaller box, it too had writing on it - 'Trust me this gift is 'egg'cellent' The other monster turned his head to Akira who was merely watching him in anticipation, not saying a word and upon realising that he was looking at her and no longer delving into his present she made a gesture for him to go on, a grin showing up on her face as she did so. Shrugging the southerner opened the even smaller box and then once again proceeded to remove it's contents which was a easter egg; hah nope just kidding it was an even smaller box that 'surprisingly' had writing on it as well - 'Is this becoming 'egg'cruciatiing?' and without hesitation Sam opened this box and lifted out it's contents. It wasn't an easter egg or a smaller box. It was a chocolate bunny. There was text on it's box as well. 'Hehe get pranked son you thought it was an easter egg hah got 'eem' Sam turned around to Akira to see her holding a paw over her muzzle in an attempt to stop herself from bursting out in laughter and the german shepherd placed all of the boxes excluding the one containing the chocolate rabbit onto the ground whilst chuckling to himself. "Thank you so much Aki-" "Haha don't thank me yet... Time for the real prezzie." The hyena interrupted excitedly, her tail was visibly wagging as she took the small box out of her leather jacket's pocket and handed it to her boyfriend. Whilst he opened the little box carefully the female canid reached down into her shirt and lifted a necklace out and allowed it to now be visible upon looking at her. Once he had opened it the texan carefully picked up the item within whilst Akira raised her necklace. Sam now held a necklace in his paw with one half of a heart with the text 'Akira' on it and he peered over to Akira, examining the necklace she had raised. It was the other half of the heart with his name engraved on it. "I keep your heart... dear to me... won't you do the same?" "Of course I will." "Told ye i'd make it... up tey ye... do you like it?" "Yes I love it, thank you Akira, I'll cherish it and never lose it." "As will I Sammy, as will I." Akira stopped holding the heart part of the necklace in the air in his view and took the necklace that he was holding out of his paw and used both of her paws to put the necklace around his neck, once she was finished she softly placed the necklace down on his black shirt. Though she didn't move away, instead the hyena pulled him towards her and allowed her paws to wrap around his body and held him tight, shortly after the german shepherd's paws wrapped around her and the two were hugging each other tightly. They remained there for a while, neither of them wanted to break the hug as they enjoyed each other's warm embrace but eventually Akira tapped Sam to signal for him to let her go and a few seconds later the other monster did so allowing the canine to move away slightly and unwrap the paws she had fastened around although the northern irish canid wasn't quite done yet as she went in for a kiss which the texan obliged to and the couple kissed as the sun sunk below the horizon. A while later the two broke off their kiss and looked over at where the sun had been before it sunk below the horizon and Akira got her phone out with one paw, quickly bringing up the camera and lifting the heart part of her necklace with other. "OI Sammy, this is the one time I'm comfortable with taking a... photo of mysel' c'mon." The hyena said as she peered into the front camera of her phone, Sam shuffled closer to her and raised the heart part of his necklace to hers and made the complete heart, smiles were on both of their faces as they held the now complete heart. -Click -The photo was taken-
