Memories

Haku looked into her emerald gaze as she looked at him while she spoke. The smile on her face registered in his mind and his eyes out up just a tiny little bit. Thank you Haku, it.....really means a lot. She said. Nothing I wouldn't do ten times over. he thought quietly to himself. Aria turned her full body to face him, well the body which he could see under the steaming water. He turned his face to hers and kept them there while she spoke a mass of heartfelt words unto him.

As you know, I am usually happy and friendly to you and our fellow packmates. I never show this side of me to you guys, don't want it to spread like a fire. She paused and averted her gaze from his own green eyes. Haku nodded, as the tingly feeling returned to his stomach. She continued Everything may seem alright, but inside in hurting Some movement in the water below caught Haku's eye and he realized it was Aria's paw moving to her chest. He touched it with his own to comfort her while she continued. I don't want to seem like I am ungrateful. I am happy to have been made a Borealis, to belong to a pack where we are like a family. But the truth is, in this family, I am lonely... I miss my old family, and I am confused on these feelings I have for someone. Haku was surprised at Aria's feelings, but they somehow made sense. She would be lonely as there is so much responsibility on her shoulders, and hardly anyone to share it with. With Jupiter having pups to know the care of, she had many tasks to do. She would miss her family terribly during this period. Aria, I too miss my family, my mother and sister especially. But I left for a reason, so that I wouldn't be forced into a rank I had not earned. You should miss you family, it's only natural, maybe we could go find your brother one day. Haku looked into her gaze, the tingling feeling stronger than ever.
