Chapter 1: A Celebration To Remember

Chapter Text

Sue was gently awoken from her sleep by the feeling of something soft brushing her cheek. The fox hummed a little before hugging her pillow tighter and snuggling deeper. A gentle giggle was heard before something that felt ever so familiar wrapped around her tighter, keeping her stuck in its warmth. As the soft touches fell back on her cheek, Sue smiled wider and began to open her eyes to see Velencia kiss her. As the princess pulled away and smiled down at her with love-sick smiles, the fox gently grabbed the hand that was around her waist and held it. Her girlfriend pulled her closer and rested her head on Sue's neck.

 

"Happy 23rd birthday and 10th anniversary, my love~." Velvey sang gently as she wrapped her other arm around the fox.

 

"Awww~. Thank you, Bunny~. What a lovely surprise." Sue giggled as she cuddled closer.

 

"If you think this is a lovely surprise… I can't wait to see what the rest of today brings~." She responded while she moved her head to look at her face.

 

"Ooooo! Look at you! You're going to spoil me today?" The fox teased gently before letting go of Velvey's hand and moving to face her.

 

"Oh, you bet your cutesy foxy self that I'm going to spoil the best thing that has ever happened to me on her special day! And the day after that! And the day after that~!" Velencia cooed as she hugged her girlfriend close and moved onto her back. 

 

Sue giggled as she rested on Velencia's chest, looking down at her with a loving smile. After a few seconds of silence, the fox soon grew a devious smile before resting her chin on the backs of her hands.

 

"You are? You just love to feed into my greedy side, huh?" She joked while puffing up her nine tails and flicking them mischievously.

 

"You know I do, Foxy baby. You're the best thing that ever came from Greed… I wonder how such a place held such a beautiful jade for so long." Velvey purred lovingly as she slowly rubbed up and down her girlfriend's spine. 

 

Sue's face formed into a slight blush before growing more devious.

 

"Hmmm… I don't know… Us greedlings are just full of secrets, aren't we~?"  

 

Velencia's loving smile widened as she held her girlfriend tighter, sitting up against their pillows.  

 

"That you are, my Sue Sue… That you are." She sighed lovingly before rubbing their noses together.

 

Which, of course, made the fox melt as she returned the favor. They nuzzled lovingly together before pulling away to look into each other's eyes. Sue smiled wider as she brushed Velencia's side bang aside and rested her hands on her cheeks. The princess gently nuzzled in her left palm before leaning down and capturing her lips in a loving kiss. Once again, causing the fox to melt into her before returning the affection. The two shared loving kisses for a few minutes before giggling and cuddling closer to each other. As Sue nuzzled under Velencia's chin, the fox couldn't help but chuckle a bit.

 

"Whats so funny, Foxy woxy?" She asked as she kissed the top of her head.

 

"It's just… I can't believe that we have been together for 10 years… It feels like only yesterday that we were 13 and fighting the odds to stay together… Granted… Everything we were fighting against was stuff on my end, but still…"

 

"You know I would fight endless wars just to be with you… You are my love… My heart… My light… My liberty… And I will forever celebrate the day that you changed my history…" Velvey said fondly as she kissed Sue's forehead and hugged her closer to her chest.

 

"Awww… Velvey… Stop… You're going to make me cry! I should be saying that about you!" The fox exclaimed with happy tears in her eyes as she hugged her closer and curled her nine tails around the both of them.

 

"Who says we can't both say it~?"

 

Sue let out a few happy foxy barks before cuddling closer if that was even possible. They rested that way for a while until Velencia began to speak.

 

"So, birthday girl… How does it feel to be 23 years old?" She asked while gently scratching the fox's chin.

 

"It feels amazing! I can't believe I'm one step closer to being vintage!" Sue joked, causing her girlfriend to laugh.

 

"Oh please, you're nowhere close to being vintage!" 

 

"Yes, I am! Things usually become vintage at 25 years, you know that!"

 

"Well, you are not a thing, Sue Sue. You're a living, breathing person who is smart and talented… And that's why I love you~." 

 

"AWWWW! Bunny!"

 

After the two cuddled closer and rained kisses on each other's faces for what felt like not long enough, the princess began to speak.

 

"Sooooo Miss birthday girl… What would you like to do until this evening?" She asked gently as she rubbed her cheek.

 

"Mmmmm… I don't know~... It's still really early, and it's our anniversary… What were you thinking?" The fox said slowly as she smiled and fluttered her eyelashes.

 

"Hmmm… You know… I had a little something in mind… If you're up for it…" The princess replied gently as she rubbed Sue's leg and the spot just above her tails.

 

Sue giggled a bit before leaning closer into Velencia's chest.

 

"If I were to say 'Yes'... What would you do~?" She asked mischievously as she began to gently knead Velvey's pajama tank top. 

 

"I would say… Whatever my birthday girl wants, she gets~." Velencia purred as she flipped the fox onto her back and looked down at her with lascivious grins.

 

"Oh, well then… Why don't you follow through with that, Mommy~?" She purred back as she pulled her girlfriend into a kiss.


 

After… Having some fun… The two lovebirds took a bath before getting dressed in their matching robes and heading to the kitchen to make breakfast. Let me rephrase… Vel made their breakfast while she asked her precious Sue Sue to “sit pretty” at their table. Which, of course, made the fox roll her eyes affectionately before taking her girlfriend's request. As Velencia made their pancakes, Sue couldn't help but smile while closing her eyes… Even after all of these years of living together… Sue was still in shock of it all… She had never in her life thought she would be in the position she was in right now… She had a life… A home… A successful career… A loving family… An amazing girlfriend that she cherished more than anything… So much has changed for her in the last 10 years… Yet there was still some more to come… The fox was shortly cut from her musing by her girlfriend.

 

"I have some great news, Sue Sue! Everyone is coming to the party later!"

 

"I heard! I can't wait to see everyone again! It has been a long time since we all got together."

 

"So true! I know we still talk on the phone or see each other after going off and doing our own things, but it will still be nice to see them all again!" Velencia said happily as she gave Sue some strawberry lemonade before returning to the stove. 

 

"Same here, Bunny! Although have you heard anything about Amethyst, Tanzanite, and Gier? I know you guys weren't close at all, but don't your parents still talk to theirs?" She asked as she picked up her cup and took a sip.

 

"Yeah. From what Mom and Dad said, Am and Tan are still their snide and snippy selves, while G is still a terror. Which makes me glad we didn't invite them… While I was thinking of inviting Aunt Leviathan and Aunt Opal out of courtesy… They weren't the nicest to you and are probably still mad about what I said about the twins… And honestly… When I was growing up… They weren't nice to me either…" Velvey added bluntly as she flipped the pan.

 

"Well, that's stupid! Who could be mean to you, Bunny?!" Sue exclaimed, earning her a slight chuckle.

 

"Yeah, well… The whole 'being the daughter of the imp and lowest rank sin' can earn you some school-yard quips from everyone, including your family… Though it was funny to see them all get reallllyyyyy quiet when they learned what I was capable of… Guess there are always people like that in the family, huh?" The princess continued as she plated their breakfast and began adding items on top of them.

 

"Oh! Trust me! I know!" Sue laughed as she swayed her tails.

 

Velencia looked at her over her shoulder with a love-sick smile before grabbing their plates and walking over.

 

"Your breakfast is served, Birthday girl~! I hope you enjoy!" She chirped as she set the plate down in front of her girlfriend.  

 

"WOAH! BUNNY! This looks amazing; they are adorable! Thank you so much!" Sue cooed as she stared at her three tiered heart pancakes with syrup, whipped cream, bunny sprinkles, and heart-cut strawberries. 

 

"I'm so glad you love them! Though, it means everything to me that they made you smile~." Velvey purred as she sat down next to her with her plate and rubbed their cheeks together.

 

"Awww! You!... Oh, this is going to be too hard to eat! They are just so cute! My heart can't do it!" Sue said in a dramatic tone as she jokingly threw her arm on her forehead, causing her girlfriend to laugh.

 

"Oh! I see! Well… Watch this!"

 

As requested, Sue opened her eyes to look at Velencia… Who stabbed her fork into her pancake stack and began to slowly cut into them. 

 

"Oh my gosh! Bunny!" The fox laughed back as she watched her.

 

"See! It's super easy! I wouldn't want my adorable Sue Sue to starve!" She cooed happily before taking the bite off her fork.

 

"Hmmm… You seem to be right! Let me try…" Sue said lovingly as she picked up her fork to do the same.

 

Once she brought the slice to her mouth, the fox blinked a few times before closing her eyes and letting out a loud hum.

 

"Mmmmmm! So good!" She continued as she rested her left hand on her cheek and wagged her nine tails quickly.

 

"I'm so happy to hear that, Sue Sue! You deserve the best breakfast ever! Though… I have to say… I happen to know something tastier." The princess purred as she leaned closer.

 

"What?" The fox asked as she opened her eyes to look at her.

 

"You~." She answered with a smug grin before kissing her neck.

 

"Velencia! You adorable beast!" Sue laughed as her girlfriend pulled her into her arms and began to purr lovingly.


 

"Alright, pretty lady… What were you thinking about for your outfit tonight?" Velvey asked as she laid on her stomach on the massive pink heart ottoman in the middle of their closet.

 

"I was thinking of something where we can both match. Since it is my birthday, I think it would be cute for us. Also, because it is our 10th anniversary, soooo I think it checks." Sue replied as she looked through the clothes on her side.

 

"Whatever you want, Sweetheart! I also think it would be cute!" She giggled while kicking her legs and forming a heart with her tail.

 

The fox chuckled at her before making her way up the stairs to the second floor to continue her search. 

 

"Okay, so matching! Gotcha! What style were you thinking about, Sue Sue? Formal, casual, etcetera?”

 

"Mmmm… Probably formal… I want something glittery."

 

"OH! Glitter! I am loving that idea! You always liked shiny things! It's so cute!" 

 

"Thank you! Do you have any ideas? I know you would wear anything I say, but I want to hear your opinion."

 

"I think you know what I would like to see you in~." The princess sang as she gave a little chuckle.

 

"My lord, you really are the Princess of Lust, aren't you?" She asked while leaning on the railing with a smile.

 

"I have never felt shame in my life… Especially when it comes to expressing and showing everyone how pretty you are, Sexy~. You know that~." Velencia purred as she gave a cheeky smile and stuck out her tongue.

 

"Oh, I do know that very much. Then you get protective and a little bit jealous when others talk to me~." The fox sang back before going deeper into the section of clothes on the second floor.

 

"Oh? And you don't?" She asked in an amused tone.

 

"Toeché. I guess we like keeping each other's safety and attention on one another, huh?"

 

"Exactly~!" 

 

Sue giggled a bit before continuing to look through her options… She wanted something bolder… She wanted something memorable… She wanted something perfect… Though… Luckily for her, she soon found what she was looking for… 

 

The whole thing was black and glittery; it consisted of a strap that went around her neck, with white lace on the bottom rim. In the middle of it, a thin black strip of fabric went down and connected with extremely short, skin-tight pants that reached barely to her thighs. Which had three straps that fell a few inches down the side of her leg, coming out from the middle of the pant leg and wrapping around to the other side behind it… It was perfect! 

 

While yes, it would definitely be an extremely bold choice for most demons to wear outside of lingerie use, for skeleton demons like Sue, it would be equal to wearing a cocktail dress… After all, skeleton-jester demons rarely wore clothes because of how most of their species' anatomy worked.

 

Speaking of cocktail dresses…

 

"Bunny? Do you still have your dress that matches this?"


 

"Alright, Sweetheart… Almost done. What do you think?" 

 

The princess quickly looked up from brushing her hair to see; her eyes went wide.

 

"Oh Sue Sue… You look beautiful." Velencia cooed as she watched Sue attach her small, pink crystal heart close to the top of the strap that rested in the middle of her ribcage.

 

"Aww… Thank you, Bunny! It's been a long time since I've worn this! Forgot how much I loved it!" Sue answered while finally getting the crystal attached and doing a spin in the mirror. 

 

"I haven't… Ah… I remember the first time I saw you wear this… I passed out…" Her girlfriend responded before getting up and hugging her from behind.

 

"Oh, I remember that… That's why it is my favorite~." Sue sang gently as she took the thin chain of her girlfriend's necklace and began to play with it. 

 

"Mmmm… Though I'm sure you would love it when I can take it off~." She purred, and she began to play with the three straps on her left leg, causing Sue to giggle.

 

"Geez… You're reeeeaaalllyyy leaning into the Lust today, huh?"

 

"Can you blame me? Your frisky side comes out once a month! Forgive me for getting excited and taking advantage of my opportunity." Velencia replied lovingly as she kissed her cheek.

 

"I didn't say it was bad, did I? In fact… I quite like it myself…" The fox purred as she looked at her girlfriend's chest.

 

"Oh! Look who is the Princess of Lust now!" 

 

With that said, Velvey tickled her fox's sides, causing Sue to laugh and give her some squeaks. After causing her to lean closer to try and get away, she picked her girlfriend up and danced them around the closet. When the two finally stilled, Sue stared lovingly at her girlfriend, rested her hands on her cheeks, and gave her lips a gentle kiss. Which, of course, the princess reciprocated. The two pulled away a few moments later before giggling and rubbing their foreheads together. There was a brief moment of silence before Sue began to speak.

 

"I think it's almost time. Ready to head downstairs and see if anyone is here yet?" 

 

"Yeah, I think that's a good idea. I want to check to see if everything is still good in the main hall before we let people in. I would hate for something to be missing at the dessert table."

 

"Pfft! Knowing Bee, Tex, Char, Ras, Tar, and Sher… If there is, the endless amount of food they will be bringing anyways will fill in that gap for sure." 

 

"Yeah, you're right… Still want to make sure my Sue Sue's party is the bestest ever! I can't wait for you to open all of the gifts I got you! Though, I'm sure you still have so many yet to come!" Velencia said as she kissed Sue's nose and sat her back on the floor.

 

"Ooooo! Stop teasing my greedy fox side, Vel Vel! I might not be able to control myself if you keep it up at this rate!" She joked back with a devious smile.

 

"Oh well! I wouldn't mind! You would look so cute peeking out of a pile of stuff." Velvey answered with a shrug before kissing her forehead.

 

"Sure, Sure. Go ahead and double-check everything, okay? I have one last quick thing to do in here."

 

"Alright! See you downstairs, Birthday girl!" The princess said as she gave her one last kiss before skipping off happily.

 

"See you, Baby!" She smiled lovingly as she waved her off.

 

Once she was out of her view, Sue did indeed move to do one last thing… Get one last thing…


 

When Sue was finished, she walked through their home to the grand hall. One benefit of receiving one of a Sin's many past homes from her girlfriend's parents as a birthday present was the massive space to have great gatherings… Although, after almost three years of living here together, it was unrecognizable from what it had been before… It was all truly theirs now…

 

Once she made it to her destination, Sue saw Velencia quickly looking around the massive grand hall. The fox couldn't help but chuckle at how cute she looked.

 

"How is the double-checking going?" Sue laughed gently as she walked in.

 

"Good. Just making sure everything is perfect."

 

"Oh yeah? Is it?"

 

"Well, now it is because you're here~." Velvey cooed lovingly as she gave her a hug and kiss on the nose.

 

"Ahh… Princess of Romance continues to romance." The fox giggled before nuzzling closer. 

 

As the two were about to kiss, a portal opened in the archway of the hall. They slowly looked over and saw Fizz and Ozzie enter through.

 

"WHERE IS THE BIRTHDAY GIRL AND LOVEBIRDS!?" The Queen of Lust exclaimed as he barged in and landed on his feet next to his husband.

 

"Mommy! Daddy!" Velencia cheered as she and Sue walked over to greet them.

 

"Hello, Sweethearts! How are you two doing today?" The king exclaimed as he quickly came closer and gave them a massive hug.

 

"We are doing great! Thank you guys so much for coming to the party!" Sue said while happily wagging her tails.

 

"Of course! We wouldn't miss it for the world!" Fizz cheered as he bounced over and joined in on the hug as well.

 

After a minute, Ozzie felt a tug on his arm.

 

"Ozz! The presents!"

 

"Oh yeah! Where would you like me to put them?" He asked while looking at his daughter.

 

"Over there! I started a pile already." She answered while pointing to the right side of the room, where a few hundred presents were stacked.

 

"Thank you, Bunny boo." Ozzie cooed before snapping his fingers, adding a generous amount to the pile.

 

Happy by the increase, Velencia went over to make sure they were all sturdy. After she was done with her lookover, she turned back to her family to see Sue and her parents talking in a hushed tone while she showed them something. Before she could walk over, another portal opened.

 

"WE'RE HERE!" Charcuterie yelled as he slid on his knees across the floor while holding up a large box full of chocolate and candy. 

 

"Char! You made it! With gifts!" Velvey said as she walked over.

 

"HELL YEAH! I hope you guys like this! I came up with some new flavors! I think they will fit your palates nicely!" He replied as he got off the floor and dusted his pants off with his bottom set of paws. 

 

"Well, I'm glad you could make it! Thank you so much for coming! How is the factory going?" Sue asked as she, Fizz, and Ozzie walked over. 

 

"Of course! I wouldn't miss your guys' party! That would be going against every bone in my body! Also, everything is going great! My candy is selling like crazy!" The prince said with a proud smile while flicking his top further on his head.

 

"I understand why! I have been buying so much since you started! You have a real talent with flavors, little Wonka man!" Asmodeus said as he patted him on the back.

 

“Thank you bunches, Uncle Oz! Where would you like me to put these? I’m sure Mom, Rasy, TarTar, and Sher would like to know since they are gathering more stuff.”

 

“Let me show you, Char! It’s just over here!” Fizz said as he led his nephew to the dessert table.

 

On cue, the King and Queen of Gluttony themselves came through the portal with Raspberry, Tart, and Sherbet. As soon as the princess spotted Sue, Raspberry let out an excited squeal before throwing the box of drinks she had in her hands to her dad so she could zoom over, who somehow managed to catch it despite carrying many gift bags in his arms.  

 

“SUEY SUE! HAPPY FUCKING BIRTHDAY GIRL! YOU LOOK AMAZING!” She yelled as she gave her a massive hug.

 

“Thank you, Rasmataze! I’m happy you came! I see you and your mom brought drinks?” She asked with a slight chuckle as she watched Vortex struggle to carry the box, along with the gifts they had brought to the right side of the room.

 

“You bet your ass we did! I hope you guys don’t mind! We just had to bring your favorites! After all, this is a fucking party!”

 

“Not at all! Honestly, I think it would have been shocking if you didn’t.” Velencia joined in with a laugh.  

 

“Deadass!” Raspberry exclaimed.

 

The trio stood that way for a second before being joined by Tart and Sherbet.

 

“Hey! Happy Birthday, Sue!” The princess said as she wagged her tail.

 

“Yeah! And happy anniversary!” The prince added with a smile.

 

“Thank you guys so much! It means a lot to us!” Sue responded as she proudly hugged her girlfriend’s side.

 

“Seriously, thank you guys for coming! Also, thank you for adding to the tables! I highly doubt we will run out anytime soon.” Velvey said as she looked over at her parents, Charcuterie, Bee, and Vortex, struggling to find space on the dinner, drink, and dessert tables.

 

“It was nothing! It was our pleasure! I enjoy cooking! I hope you like pasta because I’m sure you guys will be eating it for weeks after this.” Tart chuckled as he proudly fixed his bowtie, giving Sue a fist bump.

 

“Same here! Only with ice cream! I kind of went overboard after Rasy, Char, and I had a drinking game a few days ago. All I remember was going into the kitchen and waking up to find so much in the walk-in freezer! It was nuts! Don’t worry! I taste-tested them to make sure I didn’t do anything stupid!” Sherbet laughed.

 

“I never had doubts, Shirley! You always made good ice cream, regardless of how sober you are.” The fox said with a smile. 

 

They all stood there and continued to talk for a little while until they saw another portal open, revealing Belphegor, Lazy Dog, and Rider. 

 

"Hey guys! Thank you all for coming! Sue cheered as she saw the Prince of Sloth come over to stand with the group.

 

"Hey. Happy birthday, Sue. I got you a few things; Mao Mao is adding them to your mountain right now." He replied gently as he pointed.

 

"HOLY SHIT! ITS FUCKING HUGE!" Tart yelled as he and his siblings ran over to marvel at its size.

 

"Aww! Thank you, Ri! You guys didn't have to do that." 

 

"Of course we did, Sue. You are my friend, and I wanted to show you I care." He said with a smile.

 

"I couldn't agree with you more! My Sue Sue deserves it! Also, woah! You clean up amazing!" Velencia exclaimed as she praised his clean-cut baby pink suit, styled hair, and curled bangs.

 

"Well, it is a special occasion. Can't look sloth-like all of the time, can I?" He asked with a slight laugh.

 

"Guess not. Glad you can see that, Ri." Sue chuckled.  

 

Before they could discuss anything further, the light of another portal shined and in stormed Roman and Sparta with stuff in their arms while Satan and Mirabel followed close behind.


Once the twins spotted Velencia and Sue, they came over proudly.

 

"Hey guys! Nice party you got here! I reckon this massive mountain of stuff is your presents, Sue?" Roman asked as he gestured towards his left, causing Sue to laugh and nod her head.

 

"You are correct, Ro! Glad it is very noticeable!"

 

The prince smiled at her before walking over to it, leaving Sparta to give a sigh of relief.

 

"Thank lord, he is gone! Now I can give you guys your anniversary gift!" She said while untying the wrapped bundle in her arms, revealing a lemon and strawberry meringue pie.

 

"I know I can't compete with the gluttony pups, but I still hope you guys like this."

 

"Awww! Sparta! Did you make this?!" Sue fawned gently as she let go of Velencia and leaned closer.

 

"Yep! Believe it or not, I like baking." The princess answered with a smile.

 

"Thank you, Spar! I'm sure we will love it! It looks amazing." Valencia added as she did the same.

 

"I'm glad you-"

 

"IS THAT PIE!?" 

 

Sparta quickly whipped her head around to see Roman and Raspberry staring at her with glittering eyes. She growled at them before shielding it with her left wing.

 

"Go away! It's not yours!"

 

Not caring what she said, the two raced over towards her, causing Sparta to run and try and save the pie.

 

The trio laughed at them before returning to their conversation. 

 

"Excuse me, I see some drinks that will help me stay up. Let me go get one. I'll be back." Rider said as he walked away with a slight wave.

 

"Alright, Rider! Take your time!" 

 

As Velencia waved him off, she looked down at her girlfriend with loving eyes. Sue couldn't help but do the same as she cuddled closer. However, before they could do anything, the last portal of the night opened, and in came the King and Princess of Hell, along with her girlfriend. Lucifer and Charlie looked around for a second before their eyes landed on the girls. The two couldn't help but loudly cheer as the three of them came over.

 

"Happy Birthday, Sue! Thank you so much for inviting us!"

 

"Happy anniversary you two! Thank you so much for inviting us!"

 

They said quickly at the same time, causing Velencia, Sue, and Vaggie to laugh a bit.

 

"Of course! Thank you all for coming! I'm glad you could make time to be here." The fox answered with a gentle smile.

 

"No way we would not be here! I would never miss my baby cousin's anniversary and girlfriend's birthday!" The princess cheered as she excitedly clapped her hands together.

 

"Same here! Congratulations to you, Sue! Also, you make an adorable couple. You two have always been perfect for each other." Lucifer added on with a large smile.

 

With the King of Hell's words spoken for all to hear, Sue couldn't help but smile wider and hug Velencia tighter as happy tears formed in her eyes. 


  

It didn’t take long for the party to go into full swing. Everyone was enjoying themselves while eating, drinking, and chatting with one another. At some point, with Velencia’s permission, Bee put on some dance music. Sue couldn’t help but pull Velencia into the middle of the room as they danced to the first song. As the two enjoyed themselves, they unknowingly started a trend… Hell, even Rider, Bel, and Lazy bobbed their heads while joining in at points.

 

After a few hours, Velencia and Sue found themselves sneaking a few cookies away from their dessert table as they watched everyone. The princess blinked at them a few times before turning to her girlfriend with a love-sick smile.

 

“Having a fun birthday so far, Sue Sue?”

 

“Yes. Yes, I am. Thank you so much for doing this for me, Bunny. I love you.” She said gently as she nuzzled closer and started to wag her tails.

 

“I love you too, Sue Sue. More than anything~.” Velencia cooed back as she hugged her girlfriend closer and kissed her forehead.

 

They stayed that way for a while until Sue looked up to see Ozzie, Fizz, and Rider looking at her. She tilted her head a bit before the three of them dispersed. The fox smiled wider before cuddling closer… Then, all of a sudden, the upbeat party music softly faded into the melody of “Rondo Across Countless Kalpas.” Surprised by the change, Velencia looked up and saw the floor was empty. Before she could say anything, Sue offered her a hand.

 

“Care to have a dance with me, my love?” She asked with a light smile.

 

The princess blinked at her a few times before giving her a loving smile and taking her offering.

 

“How could I ever say no to you, my pretty fox~.” She sang as they walked to the middle of the floor.

 

Already knowing all of the steps… Having done it many times… After all, this was their favorite piece… 

 

As they drew closer to the middle, Velencia turned around and began to slowly walk backwards while Sue continued to follow at a matched pace. Once they reached the spot they wanted, they gently raised their arms to grab each other's hands as they continued walking. Velencia stopped for a moment, allowing Sue to step in front of her before leading the fox into a slight swirl that guided her to the princess's right side before Velvey let go of her hand to stand behind her. Velencia rested there for a second before caressing her fingertips up Sue’s hands and arms. 

 

Once she reached her shoulders, she gently grabbed them and turned the fox around so they would face each other. As they looked into each other's eyes, one side of their hands wrapped around the other's while the other rested on their forearms. While they stuck their clasped hands out a bit, they two swayed and stepped side to side with the sound of the violin. After moving that way twice, Velencia guided Sue back into another twirl before stepping behind her, resting her hand on her waist and resting her other hand on her chin.  

 

She caressed it a few times before Sue grabbed her hand and twirled herself out. Causing the tension from their arms to pull her back into another twirl that led her into a slight dip. After staying that way for a moment, Velvey pulled her up so they could be face to face, moving the arm that was around her waist to the back of her shoulder while Sue grabbed her free hand. As the music grew, the two began to move in a circle, extending their legs outward before rotating back to their original positions. As they moved to do another circle, the girls moved both pairs of their hands together, and Sue arched up one of her legs to spin on the tip of her foot.  

 

Using that as an anchor point, the princess walked them around a couple of times. Once the music started to pick up, Sue put both of her feet on the ground, giving Velencia to go to move her into another spin. As the fox finished, he twirled and extended her arm up gracefully. The princess grew cheeky and leaned down to start kissing up her girlfriend’s arm. Sue chuckled a bit before pulling away slightly before Velvey grabbed her wrist and twirled her to face the opposite direction. 

 

After Sue began to walk backwards with Velencia following close for a few steps, the princess reached her arm around to the back of Sue’s ribcage, allowing her to tilt back slightly before pulling her back to face each other. Once their eyes locked, they slowly extended their opposite legs in front of them, then reached their mirrored arms up and slowly lowered them back down to gesture a slight bow. As their hands were in front of each other, they reached out and clutched onto the other before pulling each other into a waltz. After a few beats, Velvey pulled Sue to the side slightly before moving her hand to her waist a little higher and guiding her into another single spin as she let her go completely. 

 

As her spin came to an end, the fox fanned out her nine tails as she arched her leg, leading Velencia to step closer and wrap her arms around her ribcage while Sue rested her right arm on her shoulder. The two leaned in a bit before transitioning into another waltz. They danced that way for a few measures until Velencia twirled Sue around and let her go. While the fox drifted a few inches away and came to a stop, Velvey slowly walked back over to her with a loving smile on her face. As she grew closer, the two circled each other once before Sue was moved into another dip. Once she was brought back up, she hugged her girlfriend’s torso while bending her knee before quickly stretching out that bent knee to cause herself to twirl by herself twice behind Velencia.  

 

When she finished, the fox quickly walked around her to grab the hand that was waiting to guide her into another waltz. Once again, they danced that way as the music grew slightly more intense, not carrying off anything else but each other. However, as her music had a slight moment of softness, the two leaned into each other before pulling back to look into each other's eyes as the music quickly returned to its former intensity. Sue and Velencia smiled lovingly at each other for a few seconds until the violins in the song grew darker… With that switch, roles were flipped… Letting Sue take charge.   

 

The fox quickly rested her hands on Vel’s checks before grabbing one of her hands and leading her into a spin. Once the spin finished, Sue guided them into a slight waltz before guiding the princess into another spin before letting her go. As Velencia arched her leg and tilted back, Sue’s left arm wrapped around her waist and pulled her to her ribcage. Causing her to be turned again and pulled into another waltz. As the violins grew more tense and spindly, Sue led Velencia into one last fast solo spin. It drew tighter and led her to drop back backwards. Once she was a foot away from the ground, Sue quickly reached her arm out to catch her… Ending with a deep dip.

 

They looked at each other with loving smiles, gently breathing as they pulled themselves close together and looked into each other's eyes. However, their moment of silence was short-lived by the sounds of their family clapping and cheering for them. Velencia blinked a few times before turning to give them a big smile and bow with Sue. As she felt her girlfriend let go of her hand, Velvey took the opportunity to tap her fingertips together before leaning toward Sue's direction. Aiming to allow her to have her own set of bows, however, the sounds of shocked gasps and stunned silence emulated through the room.

 

Surprised by the sudden change, she blinked a few times before quickly looking to her left to ask Sue what was wrong… However… She saw nothing… What… 

 

Just then, the tips of a familiar pair of ears flashed up down low… Shocked, Velencia quickly looked down to see what had happened… Only for her eyes to grow wide from what she was seeing…

 

Her Sue Sue...

 

Sitting with her legs tucked up under her…

 

Tails puffed up like a lily…

 

Arms resting in front of her…

 

With…

 

Her hands folded out…

 

To show…

 

A light pink box…

 

With…

 

A pastel jade ring with a heart-shaped light pink spine, with two little circle spinels on each side… 

 

Once it finally registered in her head what was happening. The princess held her hands to her mouth as gentle tears welled up in her eyes. 

 

Sue looked up at her with a gentle, loving smile before taking in a deep breath.

 

"Velencia, I don't know where I can possibly begin… Throughout these 20 years we have known each other… Every second we have spent together… Has been the most beautiful… And… Best moments I have ever experienced in my life… You are truly the most wonderful person to have ever existed… Your intelligence is like none I have ever seen… Your kindness is none I have ever felt… Your strength is breathtaking… Your talents are second to none… There is no one like you in all of Hell… You are truly a wonder… And from the moment I first saw you… And fell in love with you… My first and only love… I knew I wanted to spend the rest of the time together…"  

 

"...Sue Sue…" The princess said with a gentle sniffle. 

 

"Velencia, Amari, Lust… Will you give me the highest honor… and allow me to call you my wife?" Sue asked with a loving smile and swaying tails. 

 

Velvey stood there stunned for a few seconds… 

 

Before quickly nodding.

 

"Yes! Yes, of course, Sue Sue! I will marry you… I. I . I…. I love you so much!" She said between happy sobs as she threw herself on her fiance's lap and began to cuddle into her.

 

As Sue kissed her forehead, gently slid the ring on her left ring finger, and held her closer as she picked them up from the floor, their family let out excited cheers, howls, and cries as they showed the couple their love and support…

 

However, as Sue rubbed Velvey's back… And Velencia curled close into Sue's chest…

 

It was clear they were lost in their own little world…

 

And they all knew…

 

Nothing was more perfect than that…
