Chapter 8
Peppa pried open the chipped green door to Conjug’s house. She walked in, silencing the sound of her Hooves clicking on the faded tile as much as she could. Peppa placed her things on the wooden table that sat in the middle of the room and continued to the bedroom to prepare her surprise for her boyfriend. She had gotten new lingerie specifically for this and was excited to see his reaction. Today, she planned to propose. She was going to let him do it, but it had been almost two years and she was quickly growing impatient. She planned to Get dressed up exactly how Conjug liked and surprise him with a ring. She pushed open the door to his bedroom.
Conjug laid in bed, a soft sheen of sweat of his brow. He gently squeezed Duo who was nestled in his arm. He turned his head and gently licked Duo’s soft feathers, his tongue sticking slightly to the sweat clotted in them. The door creaked open and Peppa walked in confident and satisfied. Her face dropped.
“Conjug- What- What’s happening here!??” Peppa squeaked, her voice shaking
Conjug froze, tongue still stuck to Duo’s forehead.
“I was gonna surprise you- why is your tongue on an owl’s face!??? Why are you naked!?” Peppa shouted regaining her sense of self and realizing her anger all at once
“Answer me god dammit!”
Duo sat in shock, stiff. He quickly recalled the days he had spent dreaming of Peppa. The hours Dora had droned on about her for. Their dream had always been to meet up and be together. In whatever form, in whatever arrangement. He had thought it was over.
“Join us”
The words were out of his beak before Duo knew he had said them. He sat up and his wing flew to his beak.
“I- Um-”
Peppa’s eyes drifted down. She paused.
“Okay” Peppa said on a whim of confidence. She pushed away her anger and walked towards the bed. She kneeled over Duo and kissed his neck.
