Saving Me

Meili....The woman with the beautiful teal blue eyes and the ordinary looking coat. The woman that had allowed him to forget about the worries at home for a few minutes. The woman who crashed into the giant willow only to give him the opportunity to help her. The woman who he was now beginning to develop feelings for. Whether they were feelings of friendship or feelings of something beyond was to be decided, but he knew for certain that he wanted to be around her more. Yes, she was perhaps a year or two older than him but that didn't mean he couldn't build a relationship with her. The yearling had never felt like this towards anyone, male or female, and he didn't want to let go of this feeling. Not quite yet. Especially when it was attached to Meili. He could see the shock register across her pretty fa?ade at his offer for her to come back with him to Valhalla. At first he thought it was because she couldn't believe that a total stranger was offering her a place to live, but it quickly became apparent that her shock wasn't because of that. A sigh slipped past her lips, the lips that had curled into a small, sad smile as she spoke. Gael... I appreciate the offer, I just... I don't know if I can do that. I've never been a part of a pack, I've never even been around more that two or three wolves at one time. Well, as far as I can remember anyway. I like you a lot, and maybe one day I'll try to visit your pack, for you. But... I can't. Not right now. Everything froze. She was rejecting him. The organ in his chest halted, dropping painfully towards his paws, taking his breath with it. She...She didn't want to come back with him. But...But hey, I'll be around, okay? I'll stick around for awhile and think about it. If I change my mind, I'll come looking for you. And if you ever wanna talk, come back here. I'll find you. She nudged him, trying to lighten the situation, but Gael's face was an unreadable mask as he stared stupidly at the beautiful woman before him. The woman that was leaving him. Audits flattened against his earthen traced skull, cerulean gaze locked in Meili's teal one, barely feeling the kiss to his cheek, barely hearing her parting words. Limbs hoisted the young Adravendi on autopilot, frame turning in the direction Meili had taken off to, muscles twitching with the need to follow her, but he stayed where he was. His body screamed at him to chase after the smaller woman but the young man didn't move a muscle, simply stared after her. Wishing that she'd said yes, that she was coming back to Valhalla with him. But she wasn't. And who knows if she ever would. With a heavy heart Gael peeled his gaze from the shadows that had consumed her path, making the slow, lonely trek back to Valhalla. To find a secluded place to rest for the night and mull over the new problems in his head. Talk like this |
