Wonderful Life

Eventually she did pull away from his chest, but she didn't go very far. When her eyes caught his again he saw something far different from the sadness he had seen before. This was an entirely different emotion that he was far less familiar with. He was surprised by the change in the energy between them, but it certainly wasn't unwelcome. He couldn't look away from her and the way she kept him entrapped with her gaze felt like electricity. Her offer to find somewhere to rest for the night held all sorts of promise to things he had very rarely experienced in his life and he felt like he'd be a fool to turn away such a lovely, delicate, gentle soul. At the same time though, he didn't want to feel like he was taking advantage of her. She was clearly in some sort of rough place emotionally and he could certainly understand the need to drown out those things with more pleasant thoughts or company, but that wouldn't help in the long run. He hesitated for a moment, but the longer he let his eyes search hers the more he knew the decision had already been made. With a soft smile he replied, "I would like that very much." In the end he would let her make the final decision of how their night together went, but he was at least happy to be her companion for the night and just let them see where the night took them. He was about to get up again to see where they might find some shelter for the night, but separating from her without giving in to the obvious desire to kiss her felt like a crime. He leaned down to close the small distance between them and placed a gentle kiss on her muzzle, feeling a flutter in his chest and stomach when he did so. He gave her another sweet smile before rising to his paws and leading the way to find some place to stay. He found his answer in the form of a small cluster of trees that had their branches crossing over each other to form a small canopy of sorts. It wasn't exactly a fully enclosed den, but the weather was so nice that he didn't feel like they needed it. The trunks of the trees and the fairly tall bushes around them offered a good bit of privacy and a pile of leaves that had collected between them gave them a surprisingly soft bed. He couldn't have asked for a more romantic setting with the stars peeking through the branches above them. He turned to face her once they were in their secluded piece of the Redbud Nook, letting his eyes catch hers again. "How's this?" he asked softly before daring to dip his muzzle down to hers, lightly brushing his muzzle against the side of hers and across her cheek. It was certainly more forward than he would normally be, but something about this atmosphere and this unusual connection between them felt like it called for it. |
