Too Much To Ask - Snufmin

To Call It Home

"I've never felt so out of place,"
Said the homesick Muddler while grabbing ahold of the guardrail. I had never seen him that hopeless before.
"I miss my mattress, I miss mother, I miss father, gee, I even miss that awful stew Joxter made out of rats and whatever he put in there"

Snufkin stopped reading as the pal next to him snickered.

"Bleh! I bet we are better off without his stew, right, Snufkin?"

The pale youth snickered as well, his cheeks and ears growing warm.

"That's right. He hardly used favorable seasonings or herbs. I am also suspicious about how he prepared the meat"

"Why is that? How did he prepare the meat?"

"He didn't. He tossed the entire thing into a kettle with some liquid and boiled it with whatever he had at the time; usually a pair of potatoes or vegetables"

Moomin shook his head with a disgusted look on his face.

"Oh, dear. That's disturbing"

"You know what else is disturbing?"

The two of them watched each other closely.
"No?"
Snufkin leaned in, cupping his own face with a grin.
"Vomit. That's what happens next in the story!"
Moomin rolled his eyes and turned away.
"Yeah, whatever" He covered his mouth as to not let out a laughter.
"You're so childish~"

The mumrik gasped, supposedly offended! He shut the book and flew up on his feet and stroke a dramatic pose, his hands placed on his hips.

"Moomintroll!" The gorgeous boy exclaimed in an ashamed and surprised manner.

"Snufkin!"
Moomin spun around, using an equally as offended tone. Both of them were on the edge of blowing into laughter.

"Don't insult your own father's work of art!"

Snufkin was the primary one to cackle but Moomintroll forbade to give this act up just yet.

"Oh don't you dare go there"

Snufkin raised his eyebrows, more than entertained by their little play.

"Oh? What you gonna do about it?"

Snufkin took a step closer, entering Moomintrolls personal space.
The snow-white fellow halted with an arrogant expression.

He grabbed ahold of the collar on Snufkins Blouse, yanking him in for a kiss.

Right before their lips met, the mumrik shut his eyes with a gentle smile.

The two of them softened into the kiss as their hands fulfilled their own discovering.

Moomintrolls paws turned out on the mumriks chest as Snufkins hands stationed at Moomintrolls hips.

As the two lovers pulled away, Snufkin seemed to grow red.

"Oh my!" Snufkin exclaimed.
Moomintroll couldn't help but smile. It all felt so unreal, you know?

Being a couple and all that jazz. 

"I love you, I love you so much"
"I love you too"

The youths continued to smooch the other for a good minute. 

"In the morning when I wake 

And the sun is coming through,

Oh, you fill my lungs with sweetness,

And you fill my head with you"
