Veiled Secrets

Catnap loved to draw.
Drawing was a way for him to express his innermost thoughts and feelings without him having to speak a single word.

He usually drew in the privacy of his own home, but it was such a nice day outside today, why not draw in the park for once? He had thought to himself.

"Hey Catnap, what are you drawing?"
Bobby's voice says.

'.....Aaaaand that's why I never draw outside.'
Catnap thinks as his blood runs cold.

Bobby walks over as Catnap quickly tries to hide the paper. 'Uh, nothing!' He signs with one hand.
Bobby smiles mischievously. "You sure?" She says. "Cause it sure looks like something."

Catnap keeps trying to hide the paper as Bobby keeps trying to peek at it. "Come on, lemme see!" she says.

Catnap shakes his head. 'N-no, it's not very good, trust me!' he signs.

"Oh come on, I'm sure it's beautiful!" Bobby says. "Lemme see!"

"No!" Catnap says as he keeps moving it away from her.

Eventually, Bobby manages to get ahold of the paper. "Okay Catnap, what are you hiding from me?"
She says as she looks at the picture.

Catnap looks terrified. "P-please, don't..."

Bobby looks at the picture anyway.
It was a drawing of Catnap and Dogday getting married under the cherry blossom trees, with Dogday wearing a beautiful white dress as Bubba administered for them, with Crafty and her as bridesmaids.

Bobby's eyes went wide. "W-woah catnap..." she says, looking at him.

Catnap deflates, he knew the inevitable question was coming.

Bobby walks closer. "Do... Do you have a crush on Dogday?!" she says, her eyes sparkling.

Catnap sighs silently, she was ready to unload a bunch of plans to get them together, he could tell.

But suddenly, he had a... genius? Kind of? Not really? Idea.

'As a matter of fact, no.' He signs with a sly smile, standing up straight.

Bobby looks confused, tilting her head, "Then why did you-"

Catnap shows her the ring he was wearing, which was rose-gold with a cushion-cut amethyst.

'We are engaged.'
He signs happily. 'I was drawing up wedding plans.'

He could practically see the fireworks going off in Bobby's head.

She jumps up and down, squealing.
"OH MY GOSH! CONGRATULATIONS!" she says, hugging him tightly.
"How long have you been engaged? When are you getting married? Can I help with planning?!"

Catnap taps her, his face going even more purple due to lack of oxygen.
"Can't... breathe..."

Bobby lets him go. "Oh sorry sorry!" she says. "I forgot how strong my hugs can be..."

Catnap chuckles a bit. "It's okay." he wheezed out. "That's why your last name is Bearhug..."

Bobby giggles, nodding.

Once Catnap has his breath back, he starts to sign again.
'Okay, to answer your questions, we only got engaged last night, we're getting married in a few days, and yes, of course you can help with planning.' He signs with a smile.

'I'll need all the help I can get.' He signs while nervously scratching his neck.
'And, um, Dogday wants everything in the wedding to be a surprise for him, so, don't tell him about it, okay?' he signs. 'He also wants me to take him to the wedding when we're both ready, we already have our dress and suit.'
