Fishing in the Dark

Laying his head on her shoulder gave her a comfort she was sure he had intended. Her Frost had always been so empathetic with her, she knew he probably felt how nervous she had become. How did a wolf just come out and say something as deep and heartfelt as the feelings she held for her best friend? What words could she say that would get him to understand that she had always felt this way. The attraction had started the second she laid eyes on him, but had only intesified the more time they spent together. To realize that his absence hurt her more than any other had been a shock, and a monster of a revelation of her feelings. She could sense he was comfortable in Lirim, and prided herself on doing such a wonderful job of finding this place. Maybe she could give him even more of a reason to stay!

Clearing her throat, Stardust leaned up to whisper her confession into his ear. Her voice was soft, sincere and openly hopeful as she spoke, and each note held the depth of her feelings in them. "I have fallen in love with you, actually, I fell a long time ago..." She trailed off, her ears flicking nervously as she swallowed the lump in her throat. What would he say? How would he take her news? Could it be possible that he felt the same? He had always been more affectionate with her than anyone else, but was that their friendship or something more. She was held suspended above a bed of nails, waiting for the lever to be pulled and her heart to be crushed. Maybe she didn't need to worry, but she couldn't help herself, she hadn't exactly planned on telling him. Stardust had felt an unusual sense of urgency, a need to tell him immediately and get the weight of her feelings for him off her chest. She remained scared, but hopeful until he replied or reacted in some way.
