"Markus, wake up!" I heard before a pillow landed on my face. I groaned, wanting to go back to sleep as I threw the covers over my head. Silnis gave a sigh before jumping into bed next to me, pulling the sheets away from my head. I gave him a look that said "Let's just stay in bed today..." but he gave me his look that said "Let's go and have some fun!"
"Babe, can we just stay in our room today?" I asked him, hoping he would say yes but already knew the answer.
"No, come one Markus! This is Hawaii! We have all of Spring Break to do whatever we want here! Don't you want to do anything?" he asked, his muzzle an inch away from mine.
"All I want to do is stay in bed with you cuddled up against me." I said, kissing his nose.
"Well, I want to see beautiful Hawaii with you! How hard is it to get up, walk a few short feet to the shower, get changed, and walk out of the hotel to get a ride?" he questioned, giving me his irresistible puppy eyes. Chuckling, I brought my lips to his and we kissed for a moment before I stretched and got up, walking towards the bathroom as I saw Silnis' tail wagging happily.
"I'm only doing this because I love you." I said, grabbing my towel as I walked my naked body into the bathroom.
"And I want to spend every single moment here with you because I love you too!" he told me, blowing a playful kiss to me as I pretended to catch it and place it in my heart.
"I know you do." I said before stepping into the shower and twisting the knob to warm.
My shower was quick, coming back out to see that Silnis had laid out clothes for me on the bed. He had picked out a pair of cargo shorts and my sleeveless muscle shirt for me. There was a sticky note attached to the muscle shirt, seeing that it was in Silnis' beautiful and neat hand-writing.
"Downstairs arranging a ride for us. Come down as soon as you're changed! <3"
I could only chuckle as I quickly put my clothes on before taking the elevator downstairs. As the doors slid open, I saw Silnis sitting on the lobby sofa, reading a National Geographic magazine. Having a little fun, I snuck up behind him and pretended to have a gun, pointing it to his head.
"Move and I'll shoot you!" I said in a threatening yet playful tone. I heard him giggle a bit before dropping the magazine on the table, holding up his hands as I told him to stand and turn towards me. My made-up gun still on his head, I pulled him closer to me, our muzzles just about to touch.
"Please don't shoot me! I'll do anything, please!" he said in an innocent and pleading tone. I was glad he was playing along when I dropped my made-up gun, both my arms wrapped around his back as I pressed him closer to my chest.
"Anything? Well then, how about a kiss?" I said before our lips touched and we kissed passionately in front of the whole lobby. I didn't care if anyone saw us and was disgusted that two men were kissing in public, this was love and I chose to embrace it. Sadly, the kiss lasted for only a moment as Silnis was the one to break it.
"Sorry to end it so short, but our ride is here." He explained, gesturing with his head to the small shuttle bus parked outside, waiting for us. Hand in hand, we walked outside to the warm sunshine and sea breeze, boarding the shuttle bus with a handful of other tourists as we seated ourselves in the far back. No one paid us any mind as we kissed and cuddled with each other, teasing each other with flirts and other things.
"So, beautiful, where are we headed first?" I asked him, letting him rest his head against my chest as I brushed his fur with my hand.
"Well, first, we're going to go see the volcano. Then, we're going to take a tour around the jungles. Next, we'll grab some lunch. After that, the rest of the day is ours." He explained, playing with my fingers.
"Sounds like we've got a busy day then." I pointed out.
"Not only busy, but fun!" he added in, making me smile as I couldn't help but agree with him.

Our shuttle bus soon arrived at the base of the volcano, a tour guide awaiting us as everyone on the bus got off. Markus and I held hands as we listened to the guide talk about the volcano. We were still listening intently when I heard someone clear their throat next to us.
"Excuse me, but are you two the gentlemen who ordered a private helicopter for the viewing of the volcano?" a small fox woman asked us. Markus looked confused but I nodded my head to confirm that we were the ones. Asking us to follow her, I dragged Markus with me as we left the tour group, heading to a small helipad where a helicopter awaited us.
"Come on let's go!" I said to Markus as we got closer to the helicopter. I happily jumped in, Markus following, as we took our seats and buckled up. We had headphones over our heads the helicopter suddenly lifted off, ascending from the helipad and moving towards the volcano. Markus and I were still holding hands as we watched the volcano from a bird's eye view. As soon as we were close enough to the volcano, I couldn't help but gasp as how deadly and beautiful it was. Sure, there was lava pouring out of it, but it was slow moving like maple syrup.
"Wow...." was all Markus could utter out of his earpiece.
"Pretty isn't it?" I asked him. He chuckled before leaning in and giving me a big kiss on the lips.
"Not as pretty as you are babe." He teased, letting me scoot closer to him as we both watched the mighty volcano pour more lava out.

The volcano was amazing, but I personally thought that the jungle tour was more breath-taking. All those beautiful plant life was beautiful...but not as beautiful as my sexy mate. During the tour, I saw a flower that was just in arm's reach and picked it, placing it between Silnis' ear and gazing at how beautiful he was. How lucky am I to have a wonderful mate like him? My stomach started to growl and Silnis giggled.
"Looks like someone is hungry." He pointed out, making me blush a bit. "Just hold on until the tour is over. Then we'll get something to eat, okay?" I nodded my head as my stomach growled again and demanded food.
The tour was thankfully over in just a few minutes and Silnis got us a shuttle bus for a ride to Honolulu. My stomach was growling more as food was constantly on my mind. Silnis didn't seem all that hungry, but I guess I didn't have his tolerance for hunger. We finally arrived at Honolulu in a few short minutes and the smell of delicious food filled my nose. My tongue was literally hanging out of my mouth and drooling as I wanted to stuff myself full. Silnis and I went looking around until we spotted a nice restaurant by the name of Sea's Treasure. Just from the name I could tell that it was going to be a lot of seafood. But, at this point, I didn't care what I ate, though I wasn't a picky eater.
"Seafood, let's go!" Silnis exclaimed, grabbing me by my wrist and pulling me with him to the restaurant. I guess Silnis liked seafood then. We entered the building and found it be stunningly decorated with Hawaiian items of all sorts. We paid at the front desk using my uncle's card and we somehow ended up in a private booth with a curtain if more privacy was needed. Our waiter was a well-groomed lion who I could tell spent too much time in front of the mirror admiring himself and trying to impress others.
"What can I get you two gentlemen today?" he asked in a deep voice, winking at Silnis who was thankfully too busy on the menu to notice. I didn't like this guy one bit. If he dared make a move on Silnis then I wouldn't hesitate to go on an all-out brawl with him.
"I'll have your mahi mahi filet please!" Silnis ordered, handing him his menu as the waiter waited for my order.
"I'll have what you'll have babe." I said, putting a lot of emphasis on the last part. Silnis was mine and if I had to mate with Silnis in public just to show him that was mine then I'll gladly do it...at Silnis' consent of course.
"You're orders will be out momentarily." The lion said, keeping a smile but leaving with a disappointed face. That's right, he's mine! I reached out and pulled the curtains together until we were completely hidden from sight, the only light being the hanging lamp over our table. I moved over to Silnis and brought his lips to mine as I felt a need to mark him as mine in some way.
"Markus...what are you doing?" he asked, giggling as I licked him all over his face and neck.
"That waiter was checking you out and I don't want anyone else to have you. You're mine and only mine. I want everyone to know that you're mine by marking you with my scent." I explained, increasing my licking as he giggled more. After I thought that was enough of my scent to mark him, I moved back to my seat just as the waiter came back with our plates.
"Here are your dishes gentlemen. I hope you two both have a wonderful meal." The lion said, not even glancing at Silnis as I could tell his nose told him so.
"Thank you." Silnis thanked him, grabbing his fork and knife and started to dine in on the fish. The lion left us and I couldn't help but smile proudly. Finally...I was starting to deter someone from laying their hands on Silnis. No one was going to steal him from me. I will do anything to make sure that wouldn't happen.

Lunch was delicious, since I adored seafood. Markus and I spent the rest of the day walking around Honolulu and doing everything from shopping to snacking on treats. At one point, we had passed a jewelry shop and Markus dragged me in. The jeweler welcomed us and told us to browse and see what we liked. Markus left me to look around while I just randomly browsed the store's selection. I had to admit, some of these were pretty top-class stuff they were selling. I had gone over the entire store about three times when Markus called to me that we were going. Thanking us for our time, the jeweler seemed happier then when we first met him. Markus also couldn't stop grinning.
"Why are you so happy?" I asked him.
"Well...you'll see when you're older." He answered, making me confused.
"When I'm older? What does that even mean?" I questioned.
"Let's just say that I've got a surprise for you. And you'll have to wait until you've grown a little but bigger my little puppy." He teased me, kissing my head.
"Why not now?" I asked.
"Just be patient babe. I promise you'll love it even more than our first date." He tried to reassure me, which only made me more anxious to see what he was up to.
"Fine...but it better be like you promised." I grumbled, getting another chuckle and kiss from him as we walked back to our hotel.
