You'll always be my fluffiest

Indigo spent a lot of time outside the packs borders hanging out with Rue, it was easier than trying to avoid Aslatiel and.. and.. He closed his eyes tightly and grit his teeth. The image of the two of them at the springs renewed the heartache he felt and he almost lost his resolve. Indigo’s garden was suffering because of it, and he needed to come home to tend it.

He pushed himself onward, his pace steady and his head down. He didn’t want to see anyone, he wanted to get to his garden, take care of things, and retreat back into Rue’s embrace. Nothing could ease his heart, but the deer speckled girl was as close as he had found.

Indigo stopped at he crossed his mother’s fresh scent as he neared the garden. It had changed, but he wasn’t sure why or if he was just mistaken because of his absence. He slowed, but continued forward to find Zee standing in front of his tiny roses. They hadn’t bloomed, and they definitely needed watered. He couldn’t let them die, they were a very special reminder of Meadow and her time in the garden.

”Hey, Mom.” He greeted her softly, doing his best to keep the turmoil from his expression and voice.
