Caliber and Meredith's Year Anniversary has finally come!
((Hey guys! Posting the quick update of Caliber and Meredith’s year anniversary!! Story Written by @violet-the-braixen
Fog was all that could be seen out of the tattered dusty shades that covered over the windows in a layer, protecting a small house in the middle of the forest from getting any foggy light inside. Inside the house, a large male bisharp with his arms on the back of a couch, laid there alone, waiting for his precious wife to arrive home. With a small swig of berry juice in one of his large hands, and a remote in the other, the bisharp clicked over and over, trying to find something to watch; truly just anything to watch. There were a couple good shows as he flicked through, eyes glancing as a number in the corner slowly increased, but due to the mood he was in on this gloomy night, there really wasn’t anything that could make him go “Wow!”. The house was silent like normal, something that he was used to one some days more than others, it always was when his wife wasn’t around. Without her, a piece of him seemed to be constantly missing, as if there was a shard of his soul wondering about that he needed to be with. He continued watching the television and taking some few sips now and then, his mind slowly floating into thought about his life decisions and current situations. As for the past, he didn’t like to think about it. However unlike the past, the present to him was called present for a reason. Life was like a constant gift that kept gifting him chocolate covered love in the form of a fluffy zoroark. A small knock erupted from the door, causing him to stumble from a sacred state, some of the drink spilling onto the floor, tainting the prestige carpet that blanketed the floor below. He quickly blew it off as he glanced at it, knowing he would have time to clean it up before anyone would possibly see it. Stumbling from the tiredness of the night, he cautiously opened the door, revealing a beautiful zoroark, his beloved wife Meredith standing at the door, a small gash in her leg as she smiles weakly and says nothing, before falling into his arms. In the split seconds of that action, thoughts begin to fill up in his head, causing him to panic. Did someone hurt her, was she hunted by someone, a rude encounter, anything? Before he can even get any sort of word out of his mouth, a small peep erupts from the zoroark in his arms “Caliber… we really need to install lights outside…” she says softly, letting him know that nothing terrible happened to her, as it was only a small accident that resulted in her bloody leg. The Bisharp’s mouth let off a large sigh of relief as he heard his wife talk lightly of what had happened, it must of been either her messing with him, or her feeling faint due to the blood. It caused him to calm down ever so slightly, making it much easier to help the zoroark. Looking around Caliber made sure that a path was clear, and he held his wife close. Hopping with the Bisharp, Meredith continued to smile as she was held by her lover, their matching pace in feet leading them to the couch that Caliber was sitting at just moments ago. She flops onto the couch, watching her husband dash out of the room and looks down with a small sigh. Her eyes dance over the large spill on the carpet. “You know honey, next time you stay here drinking, please be more careful…” she says in a somewhat sassy yet loving tone as she leans back to sit in the same space her lover previously was. “Why…is the seat warm.” A disgusted but amused look revealing onto her face as she scoots off of it, realising that Caliber must of been sitting there for a good while. She looks up to see the television on an even more oddity of a show, some sort of foreign kids show that she’s never seen before in her life. As he walks back in, he sees the zoroarks arms crossed, and her little foot tapping softly against the floor. “Took you long enough sugar” she says in a sassy tone, but meaningful love behind it. The small remark caused Caliber to look at her and roll his eyes, not able to hide his small smile at the comment either. Looking down she watches as he places the large bandage, the material wrapping in circles around her fluffy leg. It caused her to twitch a little bit now and then, as the pain from it seemed to spike slightly as the bandage touched the flesh of her leg. Looking up into her eyes he puts a small smirk on his face, tapping her on the cheek before standing back up slowly, moving right back where he was, the seat still warm from his rump. “You should seriously watch where you’re going, if you ask me, it’s not that it’s dark, it’s all that thick fluff you’re growing… that stuff can be a real pain in my tush.” He says, grinning as he leans hard against her, his arms wrapping around her in a side hug. Patting his thigh in a response, Meredith sighs happily and reaches to her side, picking up the glass that her husband had, and taking a sip before watching the television. Not much is said after that, as the two sit in boredom, only a light snicker of playfulness escapes the two now and then as they sit there almost silently. Only the cold air and the light of the television was the “party” of the room, other that that it was the silence of the breaths and the beating of two lovers hearts. Through all of this, it didn’t take caliber long at all to feel something arise inside of him. The bisharps legs begin to tingle and he jumps up, somewhat spooking Meredith out of the chair, causing her to spill the drink that was shared between them. “Seriously Caliber I ought to stab you with one of these nails” she says as she lifts her hand up, giving him a hard poke in his gut with one of her sharp nails. The two bickered now and then, but both knew none of it would last, and their relationship was much stronger. Sometimes it would be Meredith making a cute and sassy comment, and other times it was Caliber being just as much of a butt right back to the girl. He grins back at her, before pointing at the television. “Okay, so before you got here this was this like, night festival they were advertising… I know you just got home and all but I was thinking… perhaps you’d like to go?” He says before huffing. “I mean look at us, we’re damn couch potatoes at the moment, not like we have anything else to do!” His arms fling up as he states it with a sarcastic tone, looking around as his face still kept that light up of a smile. Meredith lightly giggles to herself as she thinks. Seems like Caliber has another little plan he’s thought of, last time she went along with it, it was an amazing ride of joy and love for the both of them. It was about time the two got out she agreed inside of her head. The fluffy zoroark’s arms uncross and her face becomes distant for a second before she nods happily in agreement. “Can’t disagree with you there honey, I mean besides the occasional stroll, I don’t really get much free time out… it really sucks but I mean hey, I know for a fact that we’ve got some spare cash and seeing there isn’t much else to do, why not!” Her response only makes him smile wider, before the large arms of the Bisharp grab ahold of the Zoroark in a large loving hug before a small kiss is planet onto her forehead. “You won’t regret this money, I’ve heard it’s super fun! Today is it’s last day open, and it’s the only day it’s open at night, so let’s grab a bag and get going!” He says rather excitedly, almost like a young child spurting out of him as passion lights up in his eyes. The two get up and each enter their shared bedroom, grabbing clothing and other things that they wanted to dress up in. Nothing special for either of them, just both of them wearing simple attire to a simple place to have a little bit of fun. After a while of getting ready, Meredith picks up her small tote bag and opens the door, the fog seeming to lighten, as small shimmering lights are able to be seen from the far away distance of their little home. She turns around to see her husband right behind her, a smile on his face as he takes her hand. His arms surround her once more in an embraceable hug as the two smile and stand with each other, taking in each other’s embrace with a large smile on each of their faces. Looking down at the much shorter girl, Caliber pats her on the head. “I think we’re both as ready as can be, so how about the two of us have some well deserved fun hmm!” He says happily. Meredith instantly unwraps from him and makes a little leap of happiness. “I totally agree with you there, it’s about darn time we got some us fun time… I really hope you’re right about this place!” She says optically, really hoping she’ll have fun. Both of the lover minds race with different ideas, one more lovey, one more flirty, but they both had a small idea of fun and romance brewing in there. Each of them giggling they smiled together and in hand and arm in arm. With a small clunk and emptying sounds, the house was now close with nobody inside, only a trail of footsteps proceeded out of it, leading to a a couple holding hands as they walked to the lights that glistened from afar. — Not too much time had passed and the two were still hand in hand, following a small dirt path that the two guessed had been there ever since the house was built. The night sky and the night stars shimmered like lost diamonds in the sky, shining down on the two lovers in a glistened light of romance between the two. The town seemed almost fully packed, and they were still just a couple miles away. From the soft fog dampening their view, they could make out magic shows of different creatures from across the world, showing off their tricks as the smoke filled flames were scarred into the eyes of the viewers from beyond the stage. There were rides to be seen from the distance as well, each and every one of them with a branded color of lights showing off different types of elements. As the couple inched closer to the town, they could now make up that the festival seemed to be livid with people of all ages, couples of different species, ages, kids, adults, and even some elderly too came to join the fun. Pitter patter of feet could be heard as they nearly reached the town, large lights everywhere as the couple still hand in hand began walking into the mass of the crowd. “Wow… you told me this thing was big, but I had no clue it was this… exotic!” Meredith let out a small gasp of excitement sprinkled with a spice of shock. With eyes still sparkling from the first glimmer of excitement, Caliber nodded agreeing full heartedly. “Yeah, the news thing said it would be a town fair, but I seriously didn’t believe that the entire like, town would be here.” He says in a taste of shock as he looked around, wondering what his wife would want to do first. Each of them looked around, still having their eyes caught by different attractions. One in particular grabbing Calibers, a large ferris wheel, something that he truly didn’t want want to ride, hoping that meredith would choose something much more relaxing as well as much more easier for the both of them. The question resonating in his head got an answer before he could think away, his fluffy wife tugging him to the side, forcing him to walk along with her as she dragged him along. Meredith’s eyes eyes glowed a small color as the lights of the small tent lit up, it seemed to be some sort of art game from what he could see, though it also seemed like a game of targets, a small paintball gun was attached to part of it. Lips opening up to ask a question, Meredith was soon cut off by a Raichu that smiled with a welcoming look. “‘Iya there miss!” He said with a smile before waving a stick at a canvas. “Y’see that there painting canvas! Well this game is rather simple, you take that there object-” he points at a small paint shooter, aimed on a pole towards the canvas “- and you’ve got to match at least 80% of it with this outline here!” He moved over revealing another canvas with a sketch of his own face. “Oh-hoho!” She says grinning, taking some money out of her bag and handing it to the Raichu. “You’re on.” Caliber just chuckled, walking over to the side of her and resting his arm on the paintball stand. “You’ve got this sugar” he says carefully, but a small playful “Oh I know I do” is all that was returned to him, which only made him grin more at her positivity and confidence. Meredith took in a large breath and gave received a good luck kiss on the cheek from her lover. her Mind racing a little bit as she wondered if she was able to beat this contraption or not. However with one small decision, she pressed her finger on the trigger of the paintball gun. Globs of paint flew onto the large canvas, almost completely mirroring the image before her. The raichu looked at her with a smile, one of those “I know you’ll lose” kind of smiles. Caliber, taking notice of that, grinned and slyly pointed to the painting, causing the Raichu’s jaw to drop, as the glob painting was almost a 100% match to the one right next to it. “Well… I’ll be uh… wow.” The Raichu said slowly, still a little in shock, seemed like despite the gun being slightly rigged, she was still able to 100% aim it perfectly and win. “Well… Here’s the prize” he said, before reaching in a large bin and pulling out a plushie. It seemed to be a shiny braixen, though it looked a little funny and had a scarf as well. Meredith assumed it was based off of some celebrity or something, before the Raichu tapped her on the shoulder. “Oh, all the prizes are submitted by sponsors, but this one was anonymous, hope you like it!” He says happily, before going on to advertise his game to the next passer by. Caliber looked down at it and let off a small chuckle realising who it was, the same Braixen girl that he had mer a couple days ago in the town’s coffee shop. “Small world” he chuckled to himself, making sure to mess with her the next time he sees the braixen. The rest of the night seemed to be nothing but fun for the two of them, lights flashing all around each other and the rides, games, and plushies that they kept winning began to stack up larger and larger. One even looked like her uncle, which was fairly odd to her, but still a cute fluffy plush nonetheless. Caliber taking notice of the plush looking like his wife’s uncle, he knew he had to take the chance of nabbing the thing before anyone else did. Meredith watched as her husband put down a good 20$ just to win the plush that seemed to just resemble her uncle. Soon enough as Meredith stood their watching her husband, he was able to win it. Grabbing it tightly and turning it around, wiggling it in front of meredith as he made a deep goofy voice.”Ooo look at me, I’m mysterious and edgy” The small taunt caused Meredith to giggle, softly punching the Bisharp on the shoulder as she smiled, wrapping her arm around him once more as they carried the two plushies together, looking around for the next ride that they were able to spot. They reached one of the ends of the festival and cane face to face with a large ferris wheel, the large feet of Caliber slowly were turning around, before being stopped like an anchor by meredith, her large fluffy hands grabbing him as she waved her finger. “You. Me. Ferris wheel. Kiss.” She said playfully as she tugged him along. Caliber looked up and let down a slight gulp travel into his stomach. He really wasn’t sure about this thing whatsoever, but at the same time he didn’t want to disappoint Meredith. Meredith on the other hand, looked up at the machine with eyes of awe and wonder, the complete opposite experience and feelings of her husband. Despite being unafraid of most things, for whatever reason the Bisharp did not trust this machine contraption, knowing that at any given moment something horrible could happening ending up injuring the both of them. Meredith, looking over towards Caliber smiled and gave a soft Rockruff eyed face. “Pweaaaase Cali! You know I love these things, and the last one I went on was with grumpy plushie, so pleaaase” she said, trying her best to hold down a chuckle as she talked. Seeing just how much his wife cared of the whole ordeal, he took a deep breath. “Fine, but you know this is just because I love you, if any other person in the world asked me to do this, i would definitely say no, so you’re lucky I love ya.” Sucking it up as he grabbed an overpriced carnie ticket for the two of them, and stepped aboard to the dome shaped room for two. Despite being the most startled, he made sure he was the first in as he needed to know it was safe for entering before his wife were to enter. He may be terrified of his thing, but if it has any sort of potential of hurting someone he’d rather have himself get injured than his beloved. Meredith seemed to almost carelessly hop into the ride, despite her hurt leg. Taking a seat on the bench that was sealed down inside, she patted the side of it, wanting her lover to sit next to her as they were soon taking off into the sky. Knowing they’d be there for a good 10 minutes. The Bisharps eyes made sure to scan the room all around, seeing if anything seemed oddly out of place or dangerous. However, nothing seemed wrong and everything seemed safe and okay for the two of them. Looking over at the somewhat raggedy seat, he smiled as he walked over next to his wife taking a seat and leaning jo against her ever so softly. Leaning up against her heavily he wrapped his arm around her and continued to smile, the ride seemed to be slowly starting up as they could both feel the momentum of the ride picking up. They were slowly carried into the air and then stopped for the first view out of the many to come. Caliber noticed that the way the ride worked unlike what he thought, was whenever a pod would reach the bottom, the users of that pos would switch, and they would be moved up again slowly. His thinking of the machine was interrupted as meredith looked over to him, a small smile forming on her face as she looked deeply into his eyes. “You know hun, I know things can sometimes be hard with the life we live… but moments like these, when It’s just me and you, nobody else around… those are the moments I cherish.” She says softly. The Bisharp can’t help but agree, hugging her on the side lightly, the comment of love causing him to chuckle happily for a moment, before giving her a small kiss as the ride seemed to move a little bit upwards once more. Caliber couldn’t help but feel his face grow red, the love as well as the deep passion for his wife only continuing to grow after these many years with the soft loving words she provides. Meredith and her fluffy form continues to hug him from the side, thoughts of love and romance flowing through her head as the ride buckled once more, lifting them around the top. Stopping what she was doing, she slowly stood up, taking Caliber with her as she looked out the window towards the moonlight. The soft light of the moonlit sky piercing through the windows and applying a blanket of white to the both of them. Silence seemed to pierce the both of them for what seemed like ages, the two gazed out the window, seeing the happy families, diverse groups of pokemon, and even those they had never seen before, all with smiles on their faces just because of this one small fair. Unaware to Caliber, a small of happiness flowed from Meredith’s eye, landing in the floor of the ride to be instantly lost. “Caliber…” she said softly to get his attention. Her body turning the the side so that she could see him better. Caliber responded instantly, turning to his side as well, reaching out and taking both of her hands and looking her deep into her eyes, both of them sparkling with millions of words of love. “Yes dear..?” He asked slowly and lovingly. Meredith paused for a split second before opening her mouth slowly, another small tear of happiness floating out of her eye, dripping through her fur, only to be stopped by Calibers finger wiping it away. She closed her eyes hard for a moment, before opening them up once more. “Caliber… I think I want to..” She said softly before being choked up with emotion. Caliber stood there still, forgetting about the world around him and only focusing in her, it was if nothing existed around him, and the only thing there was, was this Zoroark. The Zoroark girl smiled, taking his hand and lowering it to her stomach, placing it on there and still smiling. It didn’t take long at all for Caliber to understand what she wanted to do, and he felt a small tear fall out if his eye as well, only to be wiped away just like he did for her. The two stood their silently again, before they both started tearing up, tears of true happiness and love escaping the both of them, ideas of this new step in their life forming. Meredith reached up and grabbed him by the collar, pulling him into one of the hardest kisses she’s ever given to him. One that states “Never leave me.” Rattling slightly, the large ferris wheel seemed to turn all of a sudden, causing the two lovers to land softly in a seat together, Meredith on top of her hard but soft hearted lover. “Why would I ever leave you goofball, no need to say such silly things like that…” he says softly, a small tear of happiness flowing down his eyes as he feels her soft hand rub it off his cheek. A small light seems to sparkle as they both look to the side, the tough glass doors of their containment sparkling as the night sky shimmers in front of them. As they laid there, awkward in a position that’s not comfortable at all, each of their eyes had that same exact glimmer back as they looked into the stars. “These skies are almost as beautiful as you Caliber” Meredith said with a soft voice as she rubbed the chest of her lover softly, watching as in her eyes, the sparkling of the stars seemed to form an image of love. The image looked like some sort of omen almost, as two globs of stars looked like two mon’s dancing in the sky, as if their souls were dancing in the moonlight. Grabbing her soft and squishy thighs, Caliber lifted her up softly as he placed the zoroark in his hard but comforting lap. It seemed as if the zoroark fit nearly into place, almost as if his lap was shaped perfectly for her rump to sit nicely on. Wrapping his arms around her he began to giggle like a child, kissing her neck as well. “I’ll admit Mere, I knew this was gonna be stupid fun, but I had absolutely no clue it would be this perfectly fun.” The soft fur of Meredith’s hair rubbed softly as it was planted against Calibers chest and stomach, the woman rubbing back into him to snuggle up as they continued on the ride that seemed an hour long. The funny thing was, when she thought about it, this whole thing had only been about 5 to 6 minutes in total… though it seemed almost like hours to her. Caliber closed his eyes for only a few seconds, though it seemed like hours before his softly closed lens were interrupted by the sliding of glass. The door in front of them was open before they even realised it, the Decidueye carnie blushing before the two of them cuddling. With an equally shared blush the two of them instantly stood up, brushing each other off, and walking out not saying a word, almost too embarrassed to do anything but leave the area red faced. Taking each others hands once more the two began following the exit signs, agreeing that the two of them had had enough of this fun situation all together. The two hand in hand laughed, chuckled, and blushed red as they did, giggling like two school children as they talked about what had just happened. Soon enough and after a while, the night had gone quiet and the two lovers had returned home to their small house in the forest. Much like they left it, it was quite, solid, and lifeless, though with the two lovers inside, the house pulsed with energy of love and happiness.
