[PRIVATE: DGFone & Thewhistlerify]

Together, Umeme and Muroki walked back to the den. After a while, Umeme was able to recognize the surrounding scenery, and picked up her pace. But at the same time, she grinned as she saw that the sun was setting, and even now the sky was getting very dark. Soon the stars will be visible, and Umeme will be able to watch them with Muroki.

Smiling, Delano rested his head on Lina's, enjoying her company. But eventually, he began to notice the air around them darken. They had to go. He gently nudged Lina. "I hate it too, but it's getting late. It'll be better if we leave now, and not worry the others." He slowly got up, stretching his limbs from not moving them for so long. "Tomorrow we'll be able to come here again," he told Lina, "Can't wait!" With her next to him, Delano began to walk back in the direction of the den.

Muroki was more looking at Umeme rather than on the sky or their surroundings, astounded as always by external characteristics and perfect figure. Despite her amazing beauty, he had also grown to like her kindness and personality. "I think stargazing can be romantic." he said randomly, "I mean, the last time I've done that was with Delano and our parents, but never with someone special." he smiled.

With a frown, Lina moved her head from beneath Delano's chin, running her muzzle through his mane as she did. She couldn't help but smile flirtatiously at him as he exclaimed his excitement about coming back there tomorrow. "Tomorrow's going to be even better." she said, looking more at him and into his eyes than on where they were going.

[DGFone]

Umeme giggled. "You can be so funny sometimes," she told Muroki. "And cute." She gently nuzzled him again. "So it's going to be something new for both of us, then?" She asked playfully. They continued to walk, and when Umeme finally saw the den, she decided that they were at a good place to stop. Besides, she didn't see Lina anywhere yet. She smiled when Muroki sat down next to her. "Looks like it's still just us here," she told him.

Delano smiled at Lina. "Yeah, it will." He didn't really know that it would, but he certainly felt like it. But he still wanted to talk to Muroki, which was the main reason why why he wanted to get back.

[TheWhistlerify]

Umeme smiled when Umeme nuzzled him and returned her nuzzle once they both sat down some distance away from the den. "I don't have a problem with that." he said playfully, nuzzling her again. Suddenly, out of no where, he thought of something which wasn't really related. "Um... Do you have parents?" he then realized what a stupid question that was, "I mean, do they live here?" he didn't know why did he just think about that, but it just came to his mind all of a sudden.

Lina smiled, her ears flattening against her head in a sort of a sad manner, "Too bad the day's over too soon..." she didn't want that day to be over, she wanted it to last forever, even if tomorrow was going to be another day. "I've had a wonderful time with you today. I never thought I would meet someone like you." she smiled. She hadn't known Delano for too long, and he was gone for most of the time. But with how much she's missed and how happy she felt when with him, she wondered whether her crush on him was becoming more than just that.

[DGFone]

Umeme closed her eyes in content, leaning on Muroki. "They stop by every now and then," she answered, "They decided that they wanted to leave once Lina and I got old enough. So they drop sometimes." She grinned. "You don't have to worry about them."

By the time Delano and Lina got back to the den, the sun had set and everything was dark. But Delano still was able to spot Muroki and Umeme. He grinned as when he saw that his brother looked very content with Umeme next to him. Delano grinned and nudged Lina. "Look," he whispered, motioned towards Muroki and Umeme.

[TheWhistlerify]

Muroki, thinking back on how close he and his brother were to their parents before they died, realized that they would be probably going insane if they were in Umeme's and Lina's position. He was able to tell that Umeme and Lina were dealing with that pretty well. Despite being curious about why did Umeme's parents leave, he knew that this was not the time or the place to ask, if at all. He just smiled at Umeme, so focused on her that he didn't notice Lina or Delano approaching.

Lina smiled as she noticed her sister and Muroki were more than just pleased at each other's company. "Looks like he finally told her how much he was swept away by her." she chuckled, noticing Delano looking at her with a raised eyebrow. "What? It was obvious since like 5 minutes after you two arrived in the first place. Even Umeme found out at one point."

[DGFone]

Delano smiled sheepishly. "Yeah, I didn't really notice that. I only found out about it when Muroki started acting strange. It made me really start considering returning, like we did." He sighed. "But I guess that up until now, it was less than what it seemed like. Looks like I was wrong." He really did feel foolish for being the only one to guess that this would happen.

Umeme finally opened her eyes, and was surprised to see that Lina and Delano had come back. She smiled and nudged Muroki. "Hey, the'ye here! Let's go meet them!" She barely waited for him to get up before running over to them. "Hey, Lina! You won't believe what happened today!" She shouted eagerly. Umeme could hardly wait to tell Lina about today.

[TheWhistlerify]

Lina was about to say something to Delano in response, but by the time she opened her mouth to speak Umeme had already rushed over to them, kind of leaving Muroki behind until he realized what was going on and then came over. "Hey sis." she said, chuckling as she noticed how happy her sister appeared to be. "I think I will believe, why don't you try me?" the two lionesses left to talk on their own, leaving the two brothers behind.

Muroki was about to follow the two, not wanting to be without Umeme for even a second. But before he could even start walking Delano, as if reading his thoughts, grabbed his tail and stopped him from going anywhere. Muroki realized that he had to let the two sisters talk on their own if they wished to do so so he turned back to his brother and sat down in front of him. "Hey." he was quiet for a moment before exclaiming, "Today was great!"

[DGFone]

Umeme smiled at Lina. "Alright, fine. What happened?" She asked. She was certain that Lina would not get it. After all, Umeme and Muroki were not that obvious together, were they? But she did have a certain uncertainty, which is why she added, "But because you seem so confident that you know, I will only give you a few seconds." She grinned, hoping that Lina would not be able to answer properly.

Delano had to stop Muroki from going after Umeme. "You really are that inseparable from her now, are you?" He asked. But he did laugh a little when Muroki described the day. "So what happened to your usual nervousness? Or did it move on?" Delano grinned. "Yeah, about that. Roughly the same thing happened between Lina and I today," he said. Delano knew what had happened with his brother just by looking at him. "What a strange coincidence, is it?"

[TheWhistlerify]

Lina chuckled at her sister, "Please, do I really have to say it? It's obvious." she wanted to tell her about herself and Delano but she figured she should let her describe her day first because she literally rushed over to Lina as soon as she arrived to do so. "He finally told you how much he liked you and you had the best time." it was obvious from the way Umeme and Muroki were sitting so close to each other and by the way Umeme looked so excited.

Muroki smiled as Delano mentioned his usual nervousness, "Gone, moved on, nada, passed to the world beyond." his mouth went shut when Delano said that the same thing exactly happened between him and Lina. "You and Lina?" he was so busy on how to deal with his crush on Umeme that he never considered his brother and Lina as a couple. "That's great, I'm happy for you." he said with a smile, nudging his brother's shoulder.
