So Scary

The giant rewarded her with a brilliant grin when she admitted she might just attempt a group hunt. Honestly, it would be amazing to see Anais take charge, for her to see for herself that others could look up to her and take her lead. It would also double, of course, as a rewarding sight to see his siblings booted off their lazy asses. He was close to her again, his unconscious steps bringing him closer to her form as through she hypnotized him, as through he simply could not keep away. His next breath was fulled with her intoxicating season and he breathed deep and long. There was so much of Anais in that intake, she smelled like grass and flowers, she smelt like the bushes she had brushed against as she hunted day in and day out.

Her little reply, her 'maybe' dragged out another smile, this one fulled with fond teasing. It dropped away slowly as her own face became more serious and he seated himself on his rump so his traitorous body couldn't steal the last few steps that would allow him to dig his head into the soft coat of her neck. His expression was gentle now, encouraging, and his eyes never left her face. Her words confused him, and he found all traces of playfulness dropping away as he listened intently, searching for meaning in her words.

His eyes melted a little with her words, through he didn't speak yet, she had the floor wholly and utterly and he listened with rapt attention and supporting eyes. Her last words hit him like a bulldozer, his sweet and gentle Anais was willing to go as far out of her shell as one could, all for her love for him, her love for the idea of starting a family. He closed the distance between him and buried his nose in her coat, breathing in the scent of her, before pulling his head back and looking deep into her eyes, and at last he would allow himself to speak. “I love you Anais, I love you so much it terrifies me, it remind me of how alive I am. For you, I would wait till the ends of our lives if I must, I want you to know that no matter what you should never feel rushed or compelled to do anything you don't want to. The idea of starting a family with you... sounds like my wildest dreams come true, but even for that, I would wait till the end of the world if I must. Anything we do, we do because you want to, because I want to, because we want to, together” he promised her.
