“and I never got to do that.” The doe’s strong demeanor fell as she sobbed with little quiet sniffles. “Yeah.” She teared up, her muzzle forming into a frown. He then pulled into the spot marked for them and put the car in park. I thought you loved the Navy? Hell, when you got that promotion to Rear Admiral, all you could talk about was leading your own ship!” Working on Operation Lightning Bug while aboard the USS Raymond Spruance was my last deployment.”Ī short, shocked silence fell between the two as Nathan finally turned into the parking lot next to the apartment complex. There have been more protests and more bills coming out to help the Uplifted. He took her hand again, massaging the soft fur on it. I can do everything leagues better than those idiots, but I’m stuck in an office because I have fur and a muzzle.” She slouched in her seat, grumbling to herself. He was cut off by a snort and a very angry deer gripping his hand.“All because I’m an animal, not human.

All because I know how to read a battlefield better than the others.” All they do is force me to wear a goddamn uniform and sit me in an office. Only when they were a couple of blocks away from their apartment did she sigh and speak up.“It’s the Navy. The light turned green and Nathan drove the car forward, continuing the drive home. The doe flicked her ears, brow scrunched, and sat in silence.

He stopped at a stoplight and moved his free hand to hold her own cervine hand.“You’ve been like this ever since I picked you up, Gail.

I’m tired of formalities and this shit,” she grumbled as she adjusted her white shirt and cranked the AC to full blast. “Honey, I really don’t want to go to dinner. Nathan was interrupted by the now half-stripped and half-asleep deer. But don’t worry, I got us a nice reservation at a really nice uplifted-frien-” “That lobster place you loved went out of business and the ModelUSA recently burnt down.
“The harbor has changed a lot since you left for the Mediterranean,” Nathan explained as he drove through their neighborhood. Together, they walked as a couple to the car and clambered in, Gail taking the passenger seat and getting comfy for the drive home. Now freed from his eager wife’s clutches, he went to retrieve her bags. Don’t act like I didn’t see the news about your trip.” He managed to squeak out as he felt his body being assimilated into the deer’s furry chest.Īfter what seemed like an hour, she let out a relieved groan and gave him a sloppy kiss on his cheek before letting go. “I-I don’t know if I’m the one who should be worried. “Never let me go on that type of cruise again.” “I missed you so fucking much.” She said as she held the human against her furry body. He rubbed his forehead again, picking up her hat, and was just about to pick up her bags when he was swept up in a hug with energy he thought wasn’t possible from such a graceful deer. I see you haven’t changed much since I left.” Then she took off her hat and playfully threw it at the man, hitting him square in the face.“Haha, very funny, Nathan. Gail the deer undid her heavy uniform, unbuttoning the collar to let fresh air flow onto her matted chest fur. “How was the pleasure cruise?” Nathan joked, adjusting his Red Sox hat. She nodded to her companions, saying a few words and saluting to her comrades before making her way over to him. Her head suddenly whipped around to face him, her large ears locking on for a moment. Hating to interrupt their conversation, but spurred on by his hatred for waiting, he called his wife’s name. She was flanked by 4 other officers, 3 humans and an uplifted flamingo, engrossed in conversation about tactics or perhaps family. How could he forget that chocolate-colored fur and the cotton colored tail that stuck out of her white uniform. He could barely pick her out from the others at a glance, as her uniform helped her blend in from a distance. He had been waiting for hours for his wife to return from a long deployment in a hostile area, and was beginning to get fed up with the fishy smell of the harbor as the servicemen got off the massive Supercarrier that was docked to let off officers and servicemen alike to then greet their families in open arms as they flowed out of the carrier’s doors. Nathan removed his baseball cap as a gust of the ocean wind from the harbor whipped around him. He knows a lot more about writing stuff so go check him out if you like that. AND! I wrote a story for this, of which AnotherDangerNoodle helped me a lot with editing and perfecting it. I may consider doing something further with this but for now we have this. Also, this takes place in the same universe as Lyudmila and all that jazz. So this originally started as a joke, but thanks to my big thinky machine in my head I decided to make this much bigger than was originally planned.
