“I think you can probably guess what I want.” Bobby looked at the cat with a smile. “Before we get started, I have a question.” “Hm? What’s that,” Jaguar asked. “Are your feet ticklish,” Bobby asked in return. “Heh... Thankfully, no. I’d probably never get through anything here if they were,” Jaguar replied. Bobby nodded at that. “Okay. Good to know. Come lay down, and let your feet hang off the edge of the bed.” Jaguar nodded and did exactly that. Climbing onto the bed, he laid down on his back, letting his feet dangle off the edge. “How’s this?” Bobby walked over to him. “Perfect.” He then grabbed one of Jaguar’s footpaws and started massaging it. “What are you... mmm... doing,” the cat asked. “Making you feel good,” Bobby replied. “You walk around on them all day. I figure you could probably use a good foot massage. I’m not the best at it, but I wanted to do it for you anyway.” he started kneading into the bottom of the cat’s foot with his thumbs. “Mmmm... It feels nice.” “I don’t doubt it. Besides, the more relaxed you are, the better it’ll feel when we start having fun,” Bobby remarked as he kept going, occasionally moving to a different spot on Jaguar’s foot, before continuing the massage. “Can’t argue with that,” the cat commented, feeling the porcupine’s paws working on his foot. “Mmm.” Bobby kept this up for several minutes before he moved to Jaguar’s other foot. He then began doing the same thing all over again, causing the cat to give a soft moan when he did. He also started to notice just how much Jaguar was enjoying himself. “I guess I don’t need to ask if you like what I’m doing,” he commented as he used the precum that was coming off the cat’s foot to aid him in the massage. “Ahh... I guess not... It DOES feel really good,” Jaguar remarked. He flexed his toes a bit, as more precum oozed off of his feet. “I’m glad,” Bobby remarked as he kept going. “Think you’ll cum before I’m done?” “I... mmmff... guarantee I will... with how good that feels,” Jaguar said between the panting he was now doing. Bobby got an almost evil grin on his face, moving one of his paws back to his other foot, which was also slightly damp with precum. Using his thumb on each paw, he started kneading in as deep as he could. Jaguar’s panting increased when he did. “Aa... B... Bobby.” Bobby just grinned and kept going. As he did, he felt the amount of precum that was coming off his friend’s foot was increasing, as was the moaning he was hearing. It wasn’t much longer before Jaguar’s footpaws were coated in cum, subsequently coating Bobby’s paws as well. “MMMF!” “Mmm... there we go. That’s what I wanted to see,” Bobby commented with a chuckle before letting go of the cat’s feet. “Th... thank you,” Jaguar said, panting softly. “He mea iki. No big deal. I was just glad to help. I hope you know I’m not done yet, though,” Bobby told his friend. “I was... hoping you’d say that,” Jaguar replied. “Mmhmm.” Bobby got on his knees beside Jaguar’s feet, leaned in, and licked the bottoms of them. The unexpected action caused Jaguar to twitch, due to having only just cum, since he was still sensitive. “Eep!” Bobby laughed. “Need a minute, Jaguar?” “Y... Yeah, I kinda think I do,” the cat told him. Bobby nodded and just sat there, looking at his friend with a smile. After Jaguar caught his breath, he spoke. “I didn’t think I’d cum from a foot massage.” “I had a feeling you would,” Bobby told him. “Something told me with all the shifting back and forth you do on your feet that it would make you sensitive to it. It may not have tickled, but it still got a reaction out of you.” Jaguar blushed. “I guess it did. I hope that doesn’t mean you’re done playing with me, though.” “Not even close, Jaguar,” the porcupine told him. “Just giving you time to catch your breath before we get to the fun part.” The cat nodded and took a couple more moments before he signaled to Bobby that it was okay to continue. When he had, Bobby took hold of one of the cat’s feet again, but, this time, when he got close, he pressed his face against it, allowing his muzzle to sink inside. “Here we go, kitten.” “Mrrf.” Jaguar bit his lip. “What did you call me,” he asked, as he pushed his foot against the porcupine, allowing it to slowly take him in. “You heard me,” Bobby commented, as his face, then his head, slowly sank inside. “And you liked what you heard, didn’t you?” “Y... yeah, maybe I did,” the cat replied, continuing to push against the porcupine. As the magic shifted Bobby’s size to allow it, Jaguar moaned again, feeling the porcupine’s shoulders being taken in. “Mmm... There’s no maybe about it, kitten,” Bobby commented. “Judging by the precum I’m being hit with, I can tell it’s something you like.” “How did you even... mrrr...” His words were cut off as more of the porcupine was taken inside him. “I didn’t know you’d enjoy that, if that’s what you’re about to ask. I was just trying to think of something to make you smile. It seems as though it worked,” Bobby commented, feeling his chest and upper arms getting pulled in. “It did...” Jaguar let out another soft moan feeling the rest of Bobby’s chest get pulled in. “Bobby... I don’t think... I’m gonna last much longer...” “Then you better start stroking yourself so you can finish, Jaguar. If the amount of precum I’m being hit with is any indication, I’m willing to bet it won’t take much,” the porcupine replied. The cat reached down and grabbed his cock, which was indeed already hard and dripping precum. He started stroking himself quite rapidly. Within seconds, he let out a roar, and his cock fired a load of cum that hit his upper chest. His foot drenched Bobby’s upper half in cum as well. “Mmm... Good kitten.” Bobby brushed himself against the cat’s insides. “Mrrrf... Bobby....” “Yeeees,” Bobby replied as he did it again. The cat twitched a couple of times, also letting out another moan. Bobby chuckled and started trying to push his belly inside the cat’s foot as best he could, letting the magic aid him in doing so. “Bet you can’t wait to have me inside you. Can you, kitten?” “Aah... N... no, I can’t. I want you inside... bad,” Jaguar told him. “Well, good. That’s exactly what you’re going to get,” the porcupine told the cat before brushing against him once more. “Mrrrf... Good... Keep going.” “I plan to,” Bobby told him. He brushed against the cat again, which caused him to let out another moan. “If it isn’t clear yet, I love doing this.” “Oh, believe me, it’s... mrrr...” His words were cut off as he felt the porcupine’s belly slowly being pulled inside him. “... becoming more clear by the second.” Bobby just laughed again as he continued brushing against his friend. He said nothing more, just letting the Zoo’s magic do its work, slowly pulling him in, with him occasionally brushing against the cat’s insides as it did, which only served to get him hit with even more precum than he was already soaked in. It wasn’t until he felt the vibrations from Jaguar stroking himself again that he finally spoke up again. “Getting close again, kitten?” He gave Jaguar’s side a long and slow rub. This was met with him getting hit with more precum, even as the last of his gut was finally pulled inside. “Mmm... Yup, you are.” “Aa... B... Bobby... I’m close.” “I know, kitten. I know,” He kept brushing against the cat’s insides as his legs were slowly taken in. “As they were, he heard Jaguar give another roar before he felt himself get drenched in a second load of cum. “There ya go.” After Jaguar’s body relaxed, Bobby pulled his legs inside. “How did you... manage not to slide back out,” Jaguar asked, panting heavily. “Simple. I wanted to be inside of you, and you wanted me inside you. The magic made sure that happened. If I make you cum a third time though...” Bobby brushed his cum-covered body against the equally cum-covered insides of his feline friend. “Aaah...” Jaguar twitched. “W... wait.” Bobby stopped moving. “Hmm?” “If I said... that I wanted you to do this all over again but with my other foot... would you?” “Heh... Considering that I know from personal experience that this place can help you keep up your stamina in situations like that... yeah I’d be willing.” “Good... then make me cum again, because my other foot wants some attention too,” Jaguar replied to the porcupine. Bobby snickered at that and started rubbing himself along his friend’s cum-covered insides, immediately causing the cat to moan out, and getting him hit with another rush of precum. “Heh, I don’t think it’s going to take much to make you cum again. “I... mrrrf... don’t think it will either,” Jaguar replied. “It just feels too good.” “Mhm.” Bobby brushed against him again, and found that the precum he’d gotten hit with was already quickly building around him, which he knew did mean his friend was about to cum again. This didn’t deter him, however, as he continued squirming around and rubbing against Jaguar’s insides. “Bobby... I’m... I’m gonna...” Bobby just closed his eyes and relaxed as he felt the cum around him build up and force him out of his friend’s foot, causing him to slide back out onto the floor. “Mmm... there we go.” Jaguar just stayed there, quietly panting without a word, catching his breath. About a minute or so later, he looked at Bobby, smiling as he did. “Wanna keep going,” Bobby asked. “Yeah, but... gimme a minute... I have another question,” the cat told him. “What’s that, Jaguar?” Jaguar didn’t answer right away. Instead, he sat up, taking a couple more deep breaths before replying. “The question I want to ask... well, it really isn’t any of my business, but it’s one I can’t help being curious about anyway. If you don’t want to answer, that’s alright.” Bobby laughed. “If you even have to say that before asking, Jaguar, I have a feeling I’m not going to be bothered by answering. Just go ahead and ask.” Jaguar gave a nervous chuckle. “Do you... ever plan to get married? I mean, I know Gideon and Travis are your mates, but are you planning on taking things further than that?” “Actually, yeah... I am,” the porcupine told him. “Funny thing is, I’ve been asking for blessings from Travis’ and Gideon’s families over the last couple of days specifically for that reason.” “Oh?” Bobby nodded. “Yeah. The truth is, I love them both a lot, and, ever the last five years, I’ve come to realize just how much. I’m planning on buying engagement rings when I’m able to afford them.” Jaguar smiled. “That’s really sweet, Bobby.” “I have to ask, though... What brought that question up," Bobby asked. “I’m not really sure. I was just having fun with you and the thought entered my mind.” Bobby shook his head. “Not entirely sure I believe that, kitten.” “Wh... what do you mean?” “There’s someone YOU’RE thinking about proposing to, isn’t there,” Bobby asked, giving his friend a curious look. “No...Well, not yet, anyway... There IS someone I was thinking about, though...” “Oh? Feel like telling me who?” Jaguar rubbed his neck. “Xander.” “Really?” “Yeah... I... never told him before the surgery because I was too nervous to. And, well... as stupid as this might sound, I still feel kinda nervous.” “So what put the thought back in your...” Bobby stopped. “You like his feet, don’t you, Jaguar?” “I... I mean... well... Back when he was Judy, I...might have caught myself looking at them a few times... Yeah. But... if I tell Xander that now, he’ll probably think I’m a weirdo.” Bobby shook his head. “The chances of him thinking you’re weird for bringing that up are literally zero, Jaguar.” “How do you know that,” he asked. “Because he doesn’t strike me as the type of person to find something like that weird. Besides, much like Stu, I’ve learned he enjoys coming to the Zoo himself, and you KNOW how weird things can get here.” “That’s... a good point... though I didn’t know he’s been here before.” “And even with that aside, that’s not the only thing you like about him, is it,” Bobby asked. Jaguar turned pink under his fur. “Of course not! There are a lot of things I like! It’s just that...” “The feet were the first thing you noticed,” Bobby asked. “Yeah. I... I really should talk to him, shouldn’t I?” “Might be a good idea. If you really do like him, then I think you need to let him know,” Bobby told him. Jaguar nodded. “I think I’ll call him when I leave here... For now, though...” Bobby smirked and grabbed the cat’s foot. “Still want to play, kitten?” The cat blushed and nodded again. Bobby nodded as well before he leaned in close and gave Jaguar’s food a good, long kick, which, as he expected, caused his tongue to end up covered in precum. “B... Bobby...” The porcupine laughed before pressing his face against the bottom of his friend’s foot. “Go on.” Jaguar nodded and he pressed his foot against the porcupine, quickly taking in his muzzle and part of his head. “Ohhh...” As Bobby’s head sank into his friend’s foot, he wasted no time brushing it against his insides. This was not easy as he was already getting wet. “Heh... You really DO enjoy your feet being played with, don’t you?” “Aah... Yeah,” Jaguar commented, shivering a bit as he felt Bobby’s shoulders being taken in. “I’m not... mfff... even sure why, but I do.” “How would you feel if you were doing this with Xander, hm?” Bobby brushed against him again, as his chest slowly sank inside. “Mrrrf... I think... I’d enjoy it,” the jaguar remarked, his cock now oozing precum again along with his foot. “I don’t doubt for a second that you would, Jaguar. And I don’t doubt Xander would enjoy it either.” Bobby squirmed again as he felt his belly starting to sink inside the cat’s foot. “Has... mff... he ever said anything to you about liking that sort of thing, Bobby?” “No, but I’ve seen him here before. Much like Stu, I know he’s a vore fan. He has to be just based on the fact he can get in here.” “That’s true,” Jaguar remarked before moaning out, as more of his friend’s belly was pulled inside him. “Mmmrrr... Bobby... I’m getting close again...” “I know,” Bobby teased, rubbing against Jaguar’s coated insides. “Just enjoy it, kitten.” “Aa... aah... Gonna... gonna... AHHH!” Jaguar twitched several times, shooting cum all over his belly, as well as coating Bobby. To the porcupine’s surprise, Jaguar shot so hard, he was forced back out of the cat before he even got all the way inside. Bobby couldn’t help laughing at that, looking himself over. “Heh... Okay, Jaguar, I think it’s safe to say you DO need to talk to Xander. I don’t think I’ve ever been forced out before getting inside someone before.” Panting heavily, all the cat could do was nod. It took nearly a minute before he could speak. “I... I think... you’re right,” he said between breaths. “Wow... I haven’t cum that hard... in a long time...” Bobby stood, wiping himself clean as best he could before standing and offering a paw so Jaguar could do the same. “Well, that should tell you something, Jaguar. If just talking about him doing this with you got you that riled up, imagine what actually doing it will do to you.” “Y... Yeah. I guess you’re right,” the cat said, after finally catching his breath. “So... are you going to?” The cat nodded. “Yeah... I think so. I don’t think I’ll be able to stop thinking about it if I don’t,” the cat replied. “Pretty sure you’re right,” Bobby replied. “Vore stuff aside, I’ve always liked him. I’ve liked him ever since we were kids,” Jaguar told Bobby. “It makes me glad to see he’s followed his heart and become the guy he wants to be.” “It makes me pretty happy too. He seems more comfortable with himself now. At least, he has from what times I’ve seen him,” Bobby told the cat. “I believe that.” Jaguar smiled. “Hey, Bobby?” “Yeah?” “Thanks,” Jaguar commented. “Both for the fun we’ve had and for talking with me about Xander.” “He mea iki, Jaguar. No big deal. I was glad to do it.” “I think I’m gonna give him a call once I get cleaned up. I don’t think I’ll be doing anything else today, but, at the very least, it will be nice to chat with him again,” Jaguar told his friend. “Good plan. I’m gonna clean up and get home myself. Still have classes to deal with tomorrow, after all,” Bobby responded. “Heh... Yeah, there’s that too,” Jaguar replied with a laugh. He then hugged Bobby. Bobby hugged his friend back. “I hope your conversation with Xander goes well. Pretty sure it will though.” “Pretty sure you’re right,” Jaguar commented. “I guess I’ll see you tomorrow, hm?” “More than likely,” Bobby replied. “Aloha for now.” With those words, the porcupine exited his room, with Jaguar behind him. He then headed to the showers, getting himself cleaned up before heading back out to the lobby, where he saw Gideon and Travis both waiting on a couch. He walked over with a smile. “You guys didn’t just sit here waiting for me the whole time, did you?” Gideon shook his head. “Nah. We only just got back here about ten minutes ago. Didn’t wanna make ya walk home in the dark.” Bobby smiled and kissed Gideon before doing so to Travis as well. “Mahalo, you two.” “Did you have fun,” Travis asked. “Don’t I always,” Bobby asked in return. “Heh... Fair point. Ready to go home, then,” the ferret asked. “Yeah. Let’s go,” Bobby replied. The three of them stood, making their way out of the lobby, passing by Theo, whom they each gave a hug, before they headed to Gideon’s car and then to their apartment at the bakery. Most of the next several months were spent with Bobby balancing things between both his classwork and his job. He had managed to get himself going into a decent routine, able to keep up with both without struggling with either. When he woke up one weekend when he had no classes, though, he had a very clear goal in mind. With what money he earned from working with Gideon and Travis, he had planned to do something special, and, having saved up what he felt was enough to do it, he decided it was finally time. Seeing that both Gideon and Travis were awake already, the porcupine got up and took a shower before making his way into the kitchen, where he saw both Gideon and Travis by the stove. “Good morning!” “Good morning,” Travis commented, as he turned to face Bobby. “Did you sleep okay?” “Heh... You ask me that almost every day, and it’s almost always the same. Around you two, I usually do,” Bobby remarked. “What’s for breakfast?” “Ah’m makin’ oatmeal this mornin’,” Gideon told him. “Mmm... With blueberries?” “Of course,” Gideon said with a smile. “Great,” Bobby replied back. “After breakfast, I’ve got a quick errand I need to run. I wanna pick something up that I’ve been saving money for. I think I’ve finally got enough to get it.” “What’s that,” the ferret asked. “Can’t tell you that,” Bobby said. “It’s something for the two of you.” “Heh... Alright then,” Travis chuckled. “It’s something I’m pretty sure you’re both going to like,” the porcupine told them. “Coming from you, Bobby, I’m sure we’ll love whatever it is,” Travis replied. As Gideon finished making the oatmeal, Travis grabbed three bowls from one of the cabinets, and the oatmeal was split up between them. It was then brought to the table. “Mmm... smells great,” Bobby said. “Ya always say that,” Gideon remarked with a smirk. Bobby laughed. “That’s because it’s always true.” The three of them sat down together and began eating. “So, what plans do you guys have for the day,” Bobby asked. “Probably just relax. I don’t have anywhere important to go today,” Travis commented. “Ah don’t have any plans either. Why do ya ask,” Gideon questioned, looking at his mate before taking a bite of the oatmeal. “No particular reason. I was just curious.” “After yer errand, do ya have anythin’ planned fer yerself,” Gideon asked. “Nope,” Bobby replied, shaking his head. “I’m just going to come back here and relax with you two. I have a feeling we’ll end up going somewhere, though.” “What makes ya say that,” Gideon asked. “Just a hunch I have is all,” Bobby told him. The three of them continued chatting as they ate, and, once they had finished and cleaned things up, Bobby gave Gideon and Travis a hug and a kiss. “I’ll see you guys when I get home. This, hopefully, won’t take too long,” Bobby told them. “You don’t have to rush whatever you’re going to do,” Travis told him. “As we said, we don’t have any plans, so we’ll still be here when you get back.” “Right. See you when I get home then,” Bobby replied with a smile before grabbing his keys and heading out of the apartment, down the elevator, and outside to his car. He then climbed in, buckled up, and started driving. Once he spotted his destination, he got out, looking at the building, a jewelry store, with a smile on his face. He then headed inside, looking around briefly before he found himself approached by a black female sheep, who approached him with a smile. “Hello there. Can I help you with anything today?” Bobby immediately turned to face her, recognizing her as another of Xander’s friends. “Oh! Aloha, Sharla!” He smiled at her. “I’m certainly hoping so. I’m here looking to get some engagement rings.” “For Gideon and Travis, right,” the ewe asked. Bobby blushed and nodded. “Yeah. I decided I didn’t want to wait, and... well, I’ve been saving up for it for the past few months.” “I see. Well, let’s see what we can find, then. What kind of rings were you looking for?” “I’m not entirely sure. I’d like to see what you have available and see if anything catches my eye. I’m almost certain something will.” “We have a large selection of rings to choose from, so I’m pretty sure you’re right. Have a look.” She looked at him with a smile. “It’s... Bobby, right?” The porcupine nodded. “Yup. That’s me.” “I’m a little surprised you recognized me. I’ve only come to the pie shop a few times over the years,” Sharla commented as she took him over toward the large display of rings. “I know, but Xander’s brought you up enough that I’m able to recognize you. The name badge you’re currently wearing helps too, though,” Bboby commented in reply with a laugh. Sharla laughed too. “Fair enough. I was just talking to him a couple of days ago... Anyway, do you see anything you like?” “Hmm...” Bobby took the next several moments scanning the rings with his eyes. His eyes eventually fell upon a couple of rings that had pawprint markings on them. When he saw them, he couldn’t help smiling, and he immediately pointed them out. “Those two right there.” Sharla looked where Bobby was pointing, and immediately unlocked the case to collect the two Bobby had pointed out. She set them on top of the case for Bobby to get a better look. Bobby looked them over for several seconds before nodding. “Yup, I’m definitely going with those two. They’re within my price range, so they’re perfect.” “Wonderful! I bet Gideon and Travis are going to love them,” the ewe remarked as she took the two rings over toward the register. “I’m pretty sure you’re right,” Bobby replied, paying for the rings once they were rung up. After Sharla had placed them into a bag for Bobby, she handed the bag to him. “I love how happy both of them have been lately. You’ve had a major impact on them both, you know?” “Heh... They’ve had a pretty big impact on me too. I never would have expected when I met them five years ago that I’d end up where I am now. I feel really lucky to have them both,” Bobby told Sharla. “I’m pretty sure I’ve heard them both say the same thing about you, Bobby,” she responded. “Anyway... is there anything else I can help you with today?” “Nope. This is what I need today, but mahalo for the help.” “I was glad to do it,” Sharla told him. “I hope the rest of your day goes well, Sharla.” “Oh, I’m sure it will. I don’t usually have too many problems, but thank you. I hope yours does as well.” “Mahalo. Take care,” Bobby commented, giving her a smile and a wave before he left. As he got back in his car, he put the bag with the rings aside and started his car. He didn’t immediately drive off, however. Instead, he sat there for several moments before deciding he needed to make another stop. Driving over to the Zoo, Bobby shut off his car, grabbed the rings again, got out, and headed inside, finding Tidus at the counter. He walked over with a smile. “Aloha, Tidus.” “Hey, Bobby. How are you today,” Tidus asked. “I’m doing well. I wanted to show you and Theo something I just picked up,” Bobby told the horse. “Oh? What’s that,” Tidus asked. Bobby then set the bag down and carefully retrieved the two ring boxes inside. He opened them both, showing them to Tidus. “I’ve decided I’m going to ask them to marry me.” Tidus immediately smiled when he saw the rings. “Bobby, that’s sweet. I have to admit, I’m not too surprised. You three are great together.” “Heh... Everyone keeps saying that. I just decided, after talking to both of Gid’s parents, as well as Travis’ dad, that I didn’t want to wait anymore. I just felt like it was time. I mean, I’ve known them both for over five years now.” The horse nodded. “Mhm. And I can pretty much guarantee you that once they see those rings, they’ll both say yes.” “I’m pretty sure you’re right.” Right then, Theo came in. “Is that Bobby I hear?” “Heh... Aloha, Theo. Good timing! I wanted to show you something.” He gestured to the rings he set out. “These are the rings I picked out for Travis and Gid. I’m planning to ask them to marry me.” Theo looked the rings over then looked back at Bobby. “They look great, Bobby, and I’m sure Travis and Gideon are going to love them just as much as they love you.” “I’m sure hoping so,” the porcupine replied. “I have to admit, I am a bit nervous, but I’m looking forward to doing it too.” “You’ve got no reason to be nervous,” Theo told him. “I guarantee you they’ll say yes.” “I’m pretty sure you’re right. Tidus said the same thing, but I'm curious... what makes you so sure?” Bobby asked. “Just a hunch,” Theo replied. “So are you planning on doing it today?” Bobby nodded. “Yeah... I’m gonna do it when I get back home. I had shared a poem I wrote during class earlier in the week, but what I didn’t tell them is that, separate from the assignment, I had written a couple extra verses to it, which I plan on using to propose to them when I present the rings.” “That’s incredibly sweet, Bobby,” Tidus commented. “I almost wish I could be there to see how they react when you do it.” Hearing that, Bobby smirked and pulled his cell phone out, calling Gideon, who immediately answered. “Hey, hun... Everythin’ alright,” Gideon asked. “Everything is just fine, Gid. I need a favor, though. Could you and Travis meet me at the Zoo? I need your help with something I bought.” “At the Zoo? Sure, but why don’t ya just come back ta the apartment,” Gideon asked. “Because it’s something Tidus and Theo were interested in seeing too.” The fox chuckled. “Alright. Give us a couple of minutes ta get ourselves over there.” “Mahalo, Gid. Love you,” Bobby commented. “Love ya too. Be there soon. Bye fer now.” “Bye, Gid.” Bobby hung up the phone, picking up the two ring boxes before turning back to the two horses. “By the way, Theo, what was it you needed? I assume you weren’t originally coming back out here to say hello,” Tidus asked his brother. “Oh! Nothing super important. I was coming out to let you know I was going to run some errands for a bit. We need some stuff back at the house. I’m going to wait until Gideon and Travis get here now, though. I don’t want to miss this,” Theo replied. It wasn’t much later before the door to the Zoo opened and Gideon and Travis were seen entering. Both of them walked over to Bobby, giving him a hug and a quick kiss. Travis then spoke up. “What was it you needed help with, Bobby,” the ferret asked. Bobby looked at his two mates and smiled. He then dropped to one knee. “I love you two with all my heart, And I know you love me too. In my special place, where we’re never apart, I know that this is true. My heart feels light when you’re both near. You help me feel strong and free. It’s why there’s a question I need you to hear. I ask you, will you marry me?” Bobby opened the two ring boxes, presenting them both to his two lovers. Gideon was the first to react. Stepping forward, he looked into Bobby’s eyes. “Yes, Bobby. Ah’d be happy ta marry ya.” Travis, though, didn’t speak at all. Instead, it looked like he was going to cry. When Bobby saw this, he looked concerned. “Travis? Did I upset you?” “Upset me? Bobby, that couldn’t be farther from the truth. I... I can’t believe you actually want to marry me. Us being lovers was one thing, but I didn’t think you loved me that much.” Travis wiped away the tear that had escaped his eye. “Well, I do, Travis... So...” Travis nodded. “Yes, Bobby, I’ll marry you.” With a sigh of relief, Bobby carefully took both rings and placed them on the fingers of his two lovers before standing. Tidus looked at them. “Congratulations, you three.” “And that was a beautiful poem, Bobby,” Theo added. “Mahalo, guys.” He smiled. “Did you only just add that to the end of the poem you shared with us, Bobby,” Travis asked. Bobby shook his head. “No. I had that ready when I originally wrote it. I was just waiting until I had the rings to finish it. What you guys heard originally was just what I presented for the assignment I had to do.” “Well, fer what it’s worth, Bobby, ah loved it,” Gideon told him. “So did I,” Travis told him. Bobby kissed and hugged the ferret and fox. “I’m glad.” He then turned back to Tidus and Theo. “I did have something I wanted to ask the two of you as well, now that I know Gid and Travis accepted my marriage proposal.” “What’s that, Bobby,” Tidus asked. “I’d like to ask for you two to be my Best Men. I know normally I’m only supposed to pick one, but, really, there’s no way I could choose between the two of you,” Bobby told them. “Took the words right outta mah mouth, Bobby,” Gideon commented. Travis grinned. “I like the idea too.” Tidus and Theo looked at each other before both nodding. Tidus then spoke. “We’d be glad to.” This made Bobby smile. “Great,” he said as he gave the two of them a hug. “I guess that means we have wedding plans to make,” the porcupine said, as he turned back to his two lovers. “That we do,” Travis remarked. “Heh... The others are going to be happy when they find out,” Bobby commented. “Oh, I’m sure they will be,” Tidus commented. “Especially your mother.” Bobby blushed. “Yeah... You’re right there. Mom’s been wondering how long it would take me to propose ever since she found out I was in a relationship with them. When she finds out I did it, she’s probably going to want to go overboard with planning the wedding.” “And ah guarantee ya she’s gonna rope Mama inta helpin’ too. Not that she’ll need much convincin’ ta do it.” “Considering I told your Mama that I’d let her know when we had a wedding date picked out. I believe it,” Bobby responded. Travis laughed. “Dad’s gonna want to do his part too. He’s been waiting for the day I’d finally get married.” Bobby looked at Travis and grinned. “He mentioned that when I talked to him about proposing to you.” “That doesn’t surprise me,” Travis said. “I guess the big question is... when do we want to do it,” Bobby asked, looking at Gideon and Travis. “Hmmm...” Gideon fell silent, thinking about Bobby’s question. “Do ya think a month from today is enough time ta get everythin’ planned out?” “Yeah... I think it should be,” Bobby commented. “What do ya think, Travis? This is yer weddin’, too. Ya get ta have a say, as well.” Travis nodded. “A month from today sounds good to me. That should be plenty of time to get things together.” “Well, then I guess it’s time to start planning... Heh... I’m gonna have a very busy month, but, honestly, I’m excited.”
