Diving off the deep end
Yurei

The small, gentle affections that Yurei gave him felt like something that he could cling to, as if her presence and her love were like a life line. He found himself leaning into her touch when her cheek brushed his and a smile pulled across his lips when she would lick his cheek. When she laid beside him with her head on his legs he was more than happy to form his body around hers so that they fit together like two puzzle pieces. "Of course. You never need to ask, my love." He never wanted her to feel like she needed to ask for his affection or whether it was okay for her to be within his space. If anything, he preferred for her to be next to him like this. She was quickly becoming his main source of joy and light in his life and he wanted her to be as wrapped up with him as she could be at all times. From her responses he could tell that they were equally unsure with how they felt about having children. It seemed like something they both might want in the future, but for now maybe it was best for them to learn and grow together for a while first. She needed time to heal and to learn how to be loved and he needed time to trust himself and make sure he could be the mate and father he wanted to be. It did give him some hope that once they were ready that would be a step they could take together. He did wonder if perhaps he should get a second opinion on things... Maybe he would ask his uncle for his advice before they made any major decisions. As much as he disliked asking for help, that was something his was going to have to learn how to do. "We'll figure it out together," he assured her as he nuzzled his face into her scruff. "We have so many years together ahead of us, we don't have to decide anything right now." He smiled and left a gentle lick across her nose. "I love you." |
