Living in the Memories

Things still felt a little strained and a little strained between them. He'd decided to forgive her. That had been a hard idea that he still was wrestling with. He hated the bitter part of him and most of him wished he could go back to when things were simpler. He'd been without them for a year now - one painfully long gruesome year. It showed on his lack luster pelt, his skinnier than normal frame, and most of all on his face. He looked rugged, worn down, and most of all he felt tired. He hated being alone, he'd hated it ever since he and his siblings had lost their parents, and he'd hated it when Donostrea had abandoned him. He didn't know if he could bring himself to forgive the rest of them like he had Ray. She wanted to find them all, to bring them back together, so he certainly wouldn't be the one to halt her progress, but he'd hold a grudge. It was an evil malicious little part of him, but he still felt hurt and betrayed by it. He shoved the thought away and forced it to the back of his mind. He hadn't been able to find anyone for a year. He was content with the fact that they could cross that bridge when they got there. For now he wanted nothing more than to focus on rekindling his friendship with Ray. She'd missed his second birthday, and he'd missed her first, but he realized that she'd be turning two this coming winter. They'd missed out on an entire year of adventures, learning, and growing up together, and that fact alone made him sad. They had so much lost time to catch up on that it was quite daunting. He didn't even know where to begin. He noted the way her face perked up at his forgiveness and the way her tail lifted. He hadn't known what she expected, but he felt a small weight lift off of his shoulders. It'd been a burden he'd been carrying so long. He was still mad she'd disappeared without him, but he knew he'd get over that in time. For now he was just happy and more than ready for things to just go back to normal - whatever that was. Just as she'd accepted his forgiveness she made her own promise to be by his side and that was enough for him. If she ever left him again ... well he wasn't quite sure he could handle that. He was going to hold her to her promise forever and he hoped she knew that. She moved close and touched noses with him and he let out a soft sigh and let out all the pent up irritation and other emotions with it. He let his muscles relax and his fur flattened fully back into place as he enjoyed the brief moment. She pulled away, to his own dismay, but the mischievous grin was enough to have him raising an eyebrow curiously. He temporarily forgot about the absence of her touch and instead gave her a questioning look. "What plan is cooking in your head now?" He asked with a soft smile. Now that was a look he knew all too well. Walk, "Talk" Think |
