love at first sight | LORAX X ONCELER FIC

Love at first sight.

It was just an ordinary day in the Onceler's Thneed-ville, which was thriving as usual due to the Onceler's impeccable business acumen. He was busy running the town and overseeing the production of Thneed's when he noticed something, something that would change his life forever. He saw the Lorax, with his powerful aura and his mighty mustache.

"What is that creature?" the Onceler asked himself. How could he have never seen The Lorax before..?

He knew at once that their love was inevitable.

"That glorious mustache, those strong arms..."

"No!" the Onceler screamed out in his head.

"I am a respectable businessman who has built this entire town and I will not be deterred by some mustached tree hugger!" despite his self-confidence he found it hard to keep his composure as he watched the Lorax walk by, his heart was racing now and his breath was speeding up, he even felt an odd tingly feeling in his chest,

"no, no, the mighty Onceler will not be deterred by such things" He desperately told himself.

While desperately trying to ignore his attraction to The Lorax, the Onceler was able to focus on business as usual.

That is, until a few days later... the Lorax had returned. The Onceler's heart fluttered again, the feelings were even stronger now, his heart was racing and he broke out into a sweat.

"I cannot possibly fight this any longer, this creature is simply too beautiful!" This time, the Onceler couldn't help himself... He ran up to The Lorax and gave him a big hug!

"Well hello, mighty businessman!" The Lorax responded, clearly shocked and surprised.

"Might I ask why a respectable gentleman like yourself has decided to suddenly hug me? Are you... Attracted to me..?!" The Lorax asked, his powerful mustache wavering slightly

"Why, of course I am! You are so tall, so handsome, so... Mustache" The Onceler responded, seemingly lost for words. The sight of The Lorax, this powerful mustached tree hugger, has left him speechless. He has never felt so attracted to another being before in all his life. He is willing to give up everything for The Lorax... He just hopes The Lorax feels the same way about him.

The Lorax's mustache wavers in the wind. He slowly gazes into the Onceler's eyes and responds, "Well, I must confess... I feel the same way" it's The Lorax's turn to be speechless. His entire life has been up to this point. Never before had he felt such a strong connection to another.

"You... You do?" The Onceler asked, his voice was weak and his knees were trembling.

"I do" the Lorax responded, a soft blush spreading across his face.

"I... I think I love you!" the Onceler stated with tears in his eyes. The Lorax was touched, he had never been confessed to before, let alone by such a mighty and noble businessman. He felt such overwhelming emotion that it brought him to tears as well as a big smile spread across his face.

The lovebirds were crying at this point. They were overcome with so many emotions and had never experienced anything like this in their life. The Onceler was the first to compose himself, even though his heart was still racing and his knees were still weak.

"What... What do you think we should do then...? My love...? My mustached love?" he says, his voice barely heard over the sound of his own heavy breathing.

The Lorax looks at him with a tear in his eye, "I... I think we should make this official..."

The Onceler and The Lorax had officially declared their love for one another. They shared an intense first kiss and the town of Thneed-ville stood in shock and awe, they had never seen love like this before. It was such a touching moment full of emotions and tears... The Onceler and The Lorax were truly in love, and the people of Thneed-ville knew their relationship would have no bounds.
