broken-hearted lovers

He chuckled softly again at her sweet voice when she questioned what he meant by his statement, his shoulders shrugging a little in response. "I guess I'm just care too much to just let you deal with all that on your own. So I'm gonna stick with you as long as you want me to and help you through it," he explained. It felt a lot deeper than that, but that was the best he could do to explain how he felt when he looked at her now that she had told him all about her troubles. He was a protector, it was what he did. He couldn't even consider leave Finch alone after that and it worried him a little that she could even think that was a possibility. He smiled again when she nodded at his offer and he let her settle in against his chest. It wasn't really until that moment that he realized why she looked so nervous about a hug and he could feel his face warm up as he blushed. He was kind of glad most of his fur was dark enough to hide his blush as he settled his foreleg around her and felt her head lean into his chest. He tipped his head to look down at her, suddenly feeling very self concious of how fast his heart was beating. No one had really been close to him like this since Arivae and while he wasn't ever really a shy wolf he couldn't help the nervous flutters that popped up in his stomach. Luckily, Finch's friend fluttered in just in time to keep him from making it any more awkward. He felt Civetta snuggle onto his head and he laughed with Finch, grinning down at her happily. He squeezed Finch tighter and lightly booped the top of her head with another chuckle. It hit him out of the blue that he was happy and it was probably the happiest he had been in a really long time. Not even probably. It was the happiest he had been in a really long time. |
