Sooo here's yours, I have art and a story featuring Skylier. I know I said no anthro, but I was like, "This is bloody
@Umeko. How could you not do anthro?" So here we are. Hopefully it isn't too sappy.
It was a beautiful day in the spring. As soon as Aiyame had woken and looked out the window, she'd known it wasn't a day to miss.
She turned from the window to the sleeping mass in the bed. "Sky…" she whispered, shaking him gently. "Skylier, wake up."
Skylier groaned and rolled over, fixing Aiyame with his red-eyed stare. "What is it…"
"Have you seen outside?" She asked, excited. "It's a perfect day for a walk."
He raised an eyebrow beneath his overlay of hair. "Now?"
"Please?" Aiyame pleaded.
Skylier couldn't resist the puppy-dog stare she was giving him. "Alright…fine. Just let me get decent."

And that was how they'd ended up walking through the woods early in the morning. Aiyame stared peacefully at the beautiful greening foliage, but Skylier was having a bit more trouble.
'hhh..' He scrubbed at his nose in annoyance.
Aiyame heard the intake of breath. "You okay, Sky?" She asked.
"ghh…HAEEE'KSHuuuu! Snnf… ugh, fine. Damn trees."
She stopped in horror. "Oh! I forgot all about that…I'm sorry…We can go back…"
"No, no, Aiyame!" he said, trying to calm her. "it's fine, just a small tickle…It doesn't bother me."
As time went on, though, it did bother him. Aiyame looked at him strangely after he sneezed for the tenth time. "Skylier…"
He responded by pitching forward, blue hair falling more into his face. "nn…HAEETCHOO! What?"
"We’re going back," she stated matter-of-factly.
"You don't have to…"
"But I will," she pleaded. "Please, Skylier. Or I'll start up the formalities again.'
That convinced him.

Back where they lived, Skylier felt better but Aiyame seemed troubled. He sniffled. "Something wrong, kitten?"
"It's just…" Aiyame wouldn't face him. "You're a prince…you could have all of Lunaria behind you If you wanted. I'm me…a simple tigress. I can't even remember your few…difficulties with nature. What good am I to you?"
"oh, Aiyame…" Skylier rose and placed a large hand on the tigresses shoulder. "What good are you to me? You've done me more good than you could even possibly know. You were the one brave girl who stood up to me, helped me see… you are one of the few reasons I'm here, and not raging him some forest out of pain, or secluded out of distrust."
Aiyame turned then, placing a hand on his arm. "Really?"
"Really." He smiled gently. "No matter what happens, Aiyame, no matter what you forget, you'll always be my brave little tigress. Never forget that."

It was years later. Benji, Olivia, and Hikaree were playing in a field together not far away, and the proud parents Skylier and Aiyame sat together of a blanket while Aiyame fed their youngest, little Markorian. He turned to her. "See, kitten? I told you.''
Aiyame, knowing quickly what he meant, just gave a soft little laugh full of joy.
Short I know XD Hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating it.
