but she didn't ever hold me

Deathbelle wasn’t great at hiding her emotions, especially around the massive titan. He could read her like a book even if she didn’t want him to. She didn’t know what he was thinking, but she didn’t shrug off his actions either. She felt the graze of his fangs against her skin, and the breath of his words against her fur. Belle leaned into his touch despite her better judgement, knowing that she should have stood up and left instead of indulging in the closeness she craved to have with him again.

”You know they’re good pups.” She rumbled softly, unable to keep herself from moving closer to the fanged guardian. Their fur still didn’t touch, but she could feel the heat of his massive frame rolling off his dark pelt. ”Maybe they need to get in a little trouble, everything has been so complicated since the eruption. I’m afraid they didn’t get the childhood they deserve.”
