Take away the pain that I felt
Yurei

Casso lifted his head from Yurei's scruff once she turned her head to look at him, her stunning eyes connecting with his. His ears flicked back with worry as soon as he saw the tears that had formed in those eyes that he loved so much. He didn't interrupt as she began to talk despite how badly he wanted to wipe away those tears. As she spoke he realized just how badly they needed each other. He needed her to prevent himself from destroying others around him while she needed him to prevent herself from destroying herself. Despite their differences, they balanced each other out. It made him wish that he had never left Winterfell after the first day that he found Acere. He knew he had to go visit his aunt to make sure she didn't worry over him, but if he hadn't done that there was the possibility that he could have met Yurei sooner. Perhaps if he had been with her then he wouldn't have ended up fighting that pair of coyotes on his way to Valhalla and if they had been closer in their relationship now he wouldn't have been as pressured to fight with the bear. Of course, he would never really know since he couldn't change the past, but he often wondered how things could have been. Before he could clear away her tears she pressed her face into his chest. He tucked his head down over hers and held her tight to his chest with a soft sigh. It was difficult because he wanted to protect her from him, but at the same time he was certain that without her he might self destruct. As long as she wanted to stay with him then he didn't think he would have the strength to tell her to leave. "I want to stay by you too..." he admitted after a moment. "Neither of us need to face anything alone any more. I'll never leave you." He let his paw gently trace her upper back, letting his claws trail through her thick, pale fur. She was his. Even if not by name or title or any sort of formal relationship, he still felt like she was his and he was hers. They were permanently entwined and he would find a way to make himself the wolf that she deserved. |
