You and Murr had been home all day but you hadn't really talked much. He was laying in bed for most of the day on his phone, and you didn't think much of it, since you were up cleaning and organizing and such. You were dusting things in the hallway when you heard a weird sniffle from the bedroom. You knew it was Murr, but you let it slide. Maybe it was just a runny nose? That's what you thought... until you heard another one, paired with a whimper.
You put your dustrag down on the floor and peeked in the bedroom, finding Murr curled up in the fetal position under a blanket. "Baby?" you gently call out, getting another whine as a response. You quietly walk in and sit next to him on the bed, putting your hand on where his side should be under the blanket. "Babe... What's wrong?" You ran your hand up and down his side sympathetically.
"I-I.." he managed to get out before sniffling again. "Mmh, you what, babe?" You said, pulling over the blanket so you could get under it with him, immediately putting your hand back on his side. You heard him sigh. "I'm so tired of being called a ferret. I mean... I see it, but it gets kinda old. I just... I don't know." he said, defeated.
"Turn around." you said to him, making him face you. He complied and turned to face you, still curled up. You smiled and lifted his chin to look up at you. His eyes were puffy and red and his cheeks were stained with tears. You kissed his forehead and gently put one hand on his neck, running your thumb lightly across his skin, making him shiver. He didn't say anything; all he did was snuggle his head into your chest and sigh.
You kept your hand on the back of his neck and kept running your thumb across it, hoping it calmed him down. "Hey... I know you don't like being called a ferret, but dammit, ferrets are adorable! They're arguably one of my favorite animals... " you said calmly before Murr scoffed. "Sorry. Anyway, babe... You're the most handsome man I know. I mean it! You have the most gorgeous eyes, the warmest smile... My heart skips a beat every time I see you. So what if people call you a ferret? Let it happen. It won't hurt you unless you let it. You got that, my wonderful, handsome man?" you said, making him look up at you again.
He looked up at you and kissed you hard yet passionately. You could feel the love radiating from him. You looked into his eyes and smiled even more. He smiled and cuddled back into your chest. "I genuinely love you, (y/n), so so much. It's borderline unreal." he said in a low, calm voice. "Mm, I genuinely love you too, James. I'm so glad to be able to call you mine." you replied, matching his tone.
You loved your little ferret man.
