Name: Garroth (goes by Garth)
Pronouns: he/him
Prompt: (899 Words) -Okay I think I am finally done adding stuff

The first time Garth met his significant other he knew that he had to win their heart. Avri had just moved into the area and became fast friends with someone in Garroth's friend group. Soon he began to show up to group outings and Garth fell head over heels. Avri had the most beautiful face and Garth was always staring. Everyone knew about his crush before Garrth even admitted it. He was far too nervous to approach the other keldine and just admired him for a while, always trying to get close and spark up a simple conversation. Avri always went with it, talking about whatever Garth wanted and was happy to sit next to him whenever Garth asked him to. Unfortunately for the young Keldine he didn't realize that Avri wasn't who he appeared to be. He was outgoing, sweet, nice and all around adorable to Garth. But he could have never guessed how manipulative Avri was, so very two faced. And to this day Garroth doesn't realize it while everyone else does. Avri has the poor guy wrapped around his paw. Garth is so caught up in his looks, his kindness and what he appears to be that he blocks out the bad. After a few months Garroth finally worked up the courage to ask Avri to be his boyfriend and to no one's surprise, he agreed. That night the friend group was all going out to eat and GArroth asked Avri if he wanted to hang out before then, the other keldine of course agreeing. Garth had waited on a bridge near a large park, a bouquet of roses sat at his feet. Avri had seemed confused at first but then Garroth asked him to be his boyfriend. The smaller keldine happily agreed. Garth had chosen the bouquet because he knew how much Avri loved flowers and wanted it to be more romantic. And he couldn't have been happier then when he was able to go to dinner that night with his friends and say that Avri was his boyfriend. Since then Garth is always all over Avri, showering him in love and affection, he simply cannot get over the other keldine. They moved in together pretty soon and Garth was loving it. Avri of course does like Garth otherwise he wouldn't have agreed to move in. He loves him but doesn't express that in a good way. Avri can get very possessive, getting upset when Garth is out for too long or when others get too close, going so far as to threaten them in private. Garroth of course doesn't know this. And he is a very social, comfortable with others type of guy so it was very confusing to him when he'd hang on friends and they would suddenly move away, noticing Avri's menacing glare. Avri likes to go and stay out late but hates it when Garroth stays out late he gets upset and calls a lot and is angry when he finally gets home. Avri doesn’t like it when Garth goes out with certain people and tells him not to but then on the rare occasions when Garroth express that he doesn't like one of Avri’s friends he gets offended, claiming that Garroth doesn’t trust him so then the keldine just drops it, feeling bad for hurting Avri’s feelings. Avri does truly care about Garroth but he is not a good match for him. Garroth goes out of his way to make Avri happy, he does whatever he can which Avri appreciates, usually. Garroth is even planning on proposing soon. He is so in love with the other male, but the poor guy won’t realize what he’s gotten himself before it’s too late. Garroth will do whatever Avri wants and the keldine usually exploits that. Avri realized right away that he could get Garth to do what he wants and uses that to his advantage. He can very easily guilt Garroth into things and not feel bad about it. When Garth feels like he has upset Avri he will do anything to fix it, not a good idea. Around friends and family Avri still acts like his normal peppy self but if someone gets too close to Garroth Avri can go off, juse not in front of his boyfriend. Their mutual friends can all clearly see how Avri uses Garth’s love for his own gain and they don’t support it, but they know if they say something it won’t end well for them. At first glance, Avri, a small cute keldine, seems harmless but he has issues, easily going off and violent if he feels like someone is getting too friendly with Garroth. So his friends are too afraid to leave and risk hurting Garth, but too scared to get too close to him. Avri is the only one allowed to hurt Garroth and if anyone else does it won’t end well for them. He gets far too possessive with Garth. However, Garth doesn’t even realize how his friends have drawn away or how they get so nervous around Avri. No one really knows if Garth has noticed it yet and pretends he hasnt or if he really is just so dulled by love that he can’t realize the unhealthy relationship. When Avri isn't trying to get his way then he is sweet with Garroth adors, wanting to cuddle and hold, smother the keldine with love.

Username: LonelyAstronauts
Name: Amadeus (Goes by Am)
Pronouns: he/they
Prompt:

Amadeus had been so excited for that date. He'd done everything right, hadn't he? Gotten roses and an assortment of other flowers for his date, put on his best bow. Granted, it was his only bow, but that still made it his best, right? As he sat at the edge of the grove, glancing up at every sound, Am didn't even consider that they wouldn't show up. They'd met once before, and they'd agreed to meet up here, in a nearby grove. Am had thought it a great spot for a date. The grove itself was filled with small, bioluminescent plants. They glowed a rainbow of different colors, soft greens and bright reds. It was a gorgeous spot!

So why on Earth wasn’t his date here? Am set down the rose next to the many other flowers he’d bought, and sighed softly. They’ll come he told himself for what felt like the thousandth time. Maybe he blended in too well? Perhaps they couldn’t see him among the plants and moonlight? But this was the spot they’d agreed to meet. They ought to be here!

Am let out a soft whine, and sat up on his haunches to get a better look over the foliage around him. Still no one. As he came back down onto all fours, his paw smacked down onto one of the roses. The thorns pierced the pads of his paws, and he couldn’t help but let out a yelp. As he held up his paw, examining the wound, Amadeus found himself beginning to cry. Why hadn’t they come? Had he done something wrong? Am whimpered, forlornly licking the spot on his paw that was slowly bleeding.

“Are you alright?” Am jumped to his feet, only wincing as he looked around for the source of the strange voice. Looking toward the path, he spotted a figure. She stood on the same path he’d come up on, head tilted as she looked at them. Am couldn’t help but gasp as he met her gaze. Who was this? Certainly not his date… Her fur had deep, swirling designs, her scales were soft and glowing, akin to his horns, and her eyes, oh her eyes.

Am wasn’t sure he believed in true love before this. But at the moment he saw that Keldine’s eyes, the moment he saw her eyes... he wasn’t so sure about that. All the thoughts in his head, the worry, the confusion, all of them halted with him as he met her eyes.

“Uh… hello?” she said, beginning to look a little uncomfortable. She turned, adjusting the shoulder bag she carried with her as she glanced back at him. Am gave himself a shake, sitting back down as he gave them a smile.

“Sorry. I just… I was waiting for someone.” He let out a wistful sigh, looking down at the flowers and his now half-untied bow.

“Oh, sorry. I can leave if you want,” she offered. “It’s just that I heard you yelp and… hey, are you bleeding?” she asked, gesturing to his paw. He looked down, and found that he was, indeed, bleeding. He let out a shrug, doing his best to look more macho. In this, he only succeeded in straightening his back so much he nearly lost his balance and fell over. The other Keldine let out a laugh, and padded over to him.

“Here, let me take a look,” she said, smiling as she gently brushed aside the myriad of flowers and took his paw in hers. She examined it before pulling out a poultice and a small bandage out of her satchel. Fixing up his paw, she gave him a happy smile as she wrapped the final bandage.

“So… who were you waiting for?” she asked, and Am was unable to keep the frown from his face.

“Oh uh… a date. At least, it was supposed to be,” he sighed. “They didn’t uh… they didn’t show.” Am bowed his head and looked at his paws, unable to meet her gaze. He still didn’t understand what he’d done wrong. She gave him a sympathetic smile as she stepped away and sat down.

“Ah. I’m sorry. That’s always tough,” she said sympathetically, looking around at all the flowers. “They really missed out. You clearly went the extra mile.”

Am smiled, looking at her. How could it be that here, in the most beautiful place he could imagine, nothing around could rival her? He shrugged, giving a soft laugh.

“Yeah, I guess,” he said, trailing off. Looking up at her, he decided he ought to take a chance and ask her to stay. “If you want, you can stay and hang out for a while,” he offered.

She looked up and grinned. “I’d love too!”

Am’s heart swelled. She wanted to stay! He smiled back at her, stretching out from where he’d been sitting.

“You should come see the waterfall, a little north of here,” he told her, standing up. As the two started to walk, he realized he’d never introduced himself. “I’m Amadeus, but you can call me Am. What’s your name?”

He turned, looking at her standing there in the moonlight, fireflies and glowing plants framing her. And she smiled, looking at him with her beautiful eyes, and spoke.

“My name is Melody.”

Name: Alura
Pronouns: he/him
Prompt: The Dance.(1,014 words)
It was a crisp summer night, his senior summer at keldine academy, and the last dance they would ever experience together as young keldine.
He sighed, as his mother helped him tie his tie
“What’s wrong dear? Aren’t you excited? It’s the keldines academy prom!”
Alura nodded and gave off a sheepish smile, “I am excited mother, just quite nervous is all”
She smiled and nuzzled him “that’s expected dear but don’t worry you’ll gVe a great time! The dance is just a few hours off you know.”
He started tapping his back right paw anxiously, she was right. Two hours stood between him and his lovely girlfriend Daisy.
They had been together 3 months now, she seemed so excited for tonight. He was just hopping she meant everything she said. Doubt filled his mind but he tried to remain strong as he waved goodbye to his mother with his tail, flower in mouth as she finished spraying his hair with hair spray to hold its place.
7pm
It was time.
Alura approached keldine academy, all the keldines scales were glistening and glowing in the moon light.
He stood there, at the top of the crowd on the steps smiling with his rose in his mouth awaiting Daisy’s arrival. Everyone had started meeting up with their dates and going inside. Slowly, the giant crowd began to fizzle out as the raging music blared from inside the school.
7:15pm
He sat down still grinning, whisking his tail side to side, “she’d be here right? She must just be late! That’s all!”
7 keldines remained outside, each with a partner and one with a group of three laughing.
He sighed. His scales began to dim.
7:30pm
A pink and red glowing keldine came strutting down the road, his heart began to race. She’s here!!!
He stood up anxiously awaiting her to approach him at the top of the steps.
But.. wait.. something was... odd
A giant red and black keldine accompanied her, they laughed and she kissed him on the cheek as their tails intertwined..
No.. it can’t be..his gut feeling had been right after all..
7:33pm
The couple approached the stairs and daisy rolled her eyes at him “the blue freak is it? Yes move out of my way or my boyfriend will have to move you for me”
Alura dropped the rose as it fell down the steps, the black keldine stepped in front of her and growled in Aluras face “nice try whimp better luck next time, she wants a strong man to take care of her. Not a slicked freak like yourself. Lose the hairspray weirdo”
They both chuckled as the black keldine pushed past Alura.
Daisy flicked her tail as Alura tried calling out to her “do I know you?” She chuckled entering the dance with the black keldine named Crucifix.
Alura stood there, his heart broken. Tears swelled in his eyes and he couldn’t understand, they hung out every night? How could she just.. do this to him?..
He walked to the bottom of the stairs and grabbed his rose, tears streaming down his face as he hung his head low.

Suddenly, a dark black and purple keldine came running out of the dance. “AND STAY OUT YOU SCOUNDREL!! DONT EVER COME BACK!” She went pounding down the road, running so fast she didn’t even see Alura as she crashed into him.
“Ow.. watch where your!-“ Alura stopped and stared at the female keld, her eyes met his and her snarling face turned into one of pity.
“I’m sorry I didn’t see you” she started.
“My names Shadow, you?”
Alura nodded “I’m Alura”
Shadow gasped and smelled him, staring at his very dim lit scales.
“You’re the one aren’t you?”
Alura made a confused face and stared at her “I’m the one who?”
“My apologizes. The one who was cheated on and left for the trash tonight. That was you huh?”
Alura nodded “she acted like she didn’t even know me, I got her this rose and everything..”
Shadow grinned slightly, “was she pink and red with a black keld?”
Alura nodded “how would you know??”
Shadow blushed “I heard her talking about some loser who brought her a rose and waited for her and I attacked her in the middle of the dance, I was kicked out and started running. We crashed and now I’m here. Now I’m your problem”
Alura smiled, “my problem??”
Shadow laughed and snatched the rose from him and started running “catch me if you can!!” Shadow bolted down the street giggling, Alura laughed and bounded after her. Butterflies emerged from his tummy to his chest.
Was this.. love?
Bounding after her he smiled, her purple and pink markings were so beautiful. The real made her pop, and she was spicy, the spicy girls are always the most fun.
He tackled shadow to the ground and snatched the rose back, “gotcha”
Shadow blushed “I believe its me that had you.”
Alura blushed and let her stand up, she smiled “could I have this dance mister?”
Alura looked around, “but there’s no music?”
Shadow nodded and started humming
“now there is! Let’s dance!”
“But in the middle of the street?”
Shadow grabbed Alura and twirled him to her tune, he spun her around and they laughed.
Aluras heart was racing, he looked shadow in the eye “this is for you, you’re quite beautiful and I love your personality Shadow”
Shadow stared at him, “you do? No one ever likes me, I’ve always been such a loner my whole life”
Alura pushed the rose towards her “well I think you’re amazing”
Shadow blushed and took the rose “I think you are to no matter what any one else says, so will I see you again?”
Alura nodded “every night in this spot if you don’t live far”
Shadow smiled “I live right down the road! I walked to the school!”
Alura nodded “so did I. See you tomorrow”
He began walking home and shadow pranced happily with her rose
A beautiful start, to a newly found love.

Prompt: The first time he saw her, she was glowing in the moonlight, her paws dancing over the soft grass. He gazed at her, safely concealed behind the bushes on the side of the clearing, his eyes sparkling as he gazed at her. He felt his paws leave the ground as he crept quietly towards her, a smile ghosting across his snout. She turned, startled, and backed away. But as he, also, began to dance in the moonlight, and with a smile, she danced alongside him. In this display, they flew across the grass, graceful and ethereal beyond words. After the dance, she asked his name.
"Romeo" he replied.
She let out a laugh, light as wind, and replied.
"I'm Juliet!"
After that, they would dance in the moonlight every night, basking in each other's presence. Romeo and Juliet, laughing and dancing every night.
