She only focused on his mention of his investment into her, her antics amusing as she wiggled beneath his head and mumbled with a slur in her voice. He couldn’t help but to smile as she assured him, she was just Eris. She started to get oddly still and quiet as he spoke in honest tones with her. Ox felt a fluttering in his chest, not expecting an answer but getting nervous as she remained silent.

Trying to push his insecurities away the boy held her tighter. ”Eris?” He asked her, nuzzling into her fur again. He didn’t know why he felt so weak around her, why he hadn’t hesitated in putting himself in incredible danger for her sake. What was wrong with him? He was quickly falling back into his dark thoughts. He didn’t ever want to let go of her, but he was afraid of what that meant. Being vulnerable like this with another wolf had only gotten him hurt in the past, he couldn’t know if this would end the same. He needed to be out for only himself, when he wasn’t, injuries happened.

He buried his face into her belly again, making the decision that all the pain in the world was worth being close to her like this. Despite being completely vulnerable, physically to the world, and emotionally to her. Oxide had never felt so safe.
