As the night wore on, the atmosphere between them grew even more intimate. The air was warm, the sound of the fountain soothing, and the light from the stars above made everything feel magical.
Dogday shifted slightly, his heart pounding in his chest. He had been thinking about it all night, and now, with Catnap so close, it felt like the right moment. He took a deep breath, his nerves getting the best of him.
"Catnap?" he whispered.
"Hmm?" Catnap looked up, his eyes meeting Dogday's.
"I... I think I want to... um..." Dogday stammered, his ears flicking in embarrassment. He wasn't quite sure how to say it, but Catnap, ever perceptive, seemed to understand.
Without a word, Catnap closed the distance between them, his soft nose brushing against Dogday's cheek in a gentle, affectionate gesture. It was small, subtle, but it sent a wave of warmth through Dogday.
Dogday's heart raced as he leaned in, their foreheads touching. For a moment, time seemed to stop. Then, before he could second-guess himself, he closed the gap between them, pressing his lips softly to Catnap's.
It was a simple kiss—sweet, tentative, and filled with all the unspoken feelings they had been holding onto for so long. Catnap responded gently, his tail curling around Dogday's in a silent promise of affection.
When they finally pulled away, Dogday's cheeks were burning, and his tail wagged uncontrollably. "Wow..." was all he could say.
Catnap, ever calm, smiled softly. "Yeah," he agreed, his voice barely a whisper.
They sat in comfortable silence, the warmth between them undeniable now. They didn't need to say anything more—their feelings were clear, and their bond was stronger than ever.
