The Sun Will Shine Again

The ebony-coated woman couldn't help but laugh as Steel shrugged yet again, but more exaggerated as though to poke fun at her comment. She shook her head, an obvious glimmer of amusement in her emerald eyes. She hadn't known this cheeky side of him before, but she found it rather amusing. She couldn't help but to giggle. After she had examined the den and come back out, her ears tilted toward the red-eyed brute as she waited eagerly to hear his response. And his words were instantly reassuring to her, and she let out a slight breath she hadn't realized she was holding, while her tail swished back and forth in relief. He wanted to share after all! The doubts in her mind had been unnecessary, she should have known. But their relationship was still somewhat new to her, she hadn't shared such closeness and emotional intimacy with anyone before. So, although she was an optimistic being, she couldn't help but to fear that he might not feel as strongly as she did. Yet, the more time they spent together, the more she realized that he cared about her, perhaps as much as she cared about him. Maybe more? That much was still very unknown to her, but she was okay with that; time would tell, as it always had. She would be further reassure by his words, and surprised that he had chosen to express as much. Normally he was lacking in words, although she knew by now not to take this as disinterest on his part; it was just how he was. But in this moment, he expressed himself thoroughly in a way that left no doubts in her mind. As he nudged her with his nose, she pressed into him, nuzzling into the side of his neck where she felt most comfortable. "Oh I definitely want to share," she assured him, murmuring into the thick fur of his neck, "Now that I've slept beside you, I wouldn't have it any other way." "And promise you won't get sick of me." How could she ever get sick of him? Well, she wouldn't promise it directly to him. She knew he didn't take promises very well. He had to be shown, it had to be proven to him, and she knew the value in that as well. Now, it wasn't that she couldn't promise this to him - of course, she couldn't dream of ever getting sick of him. Somehow, she had broken through his tough and cold exterior, and she had gained his affections. That wasn't something she could just throw away, it meant so much to her. So, although a verbal promise was not in the making, there was something else she wanted to say, to ask him. "Steel... I want to be with you for a long, long time..." she began quietly, nervously, but she knew she had to say it now, otherwise she might think it over too much, and never mention it again, "Have you ever thought about starting a family?" She had pulled her face away from his scruff now, trying to meet his eyes, but she couldn't help but to look down a little, nervous but eager to hear his reply as well. Please don't get freaked out, please don't run away, she pleaded desperately in her mind. Oh dear, had she gone and asked a little too much? Was she trying to move things too quickly? |
