Not Worth the Trouble

Siren tilted her head slightly and her ears were slicked to her head when Chimera finally looked up to her. There was silence and stillness between them for a very long moment. Siren wondered if he’d forgotten about her already with the way he looked at her. She lifted a delicate paw nervously, and as she stood there barely had any time to think before he surged forward and she was suddenly pressed against his chest.

Chimera sobbed, and for a moment Siren was stunned and frozen. This was not how her interactions with Chimera went, he wasn’t supposed to be soft like this. She quickly recovered and nuzzled into his neck with relief. She’d just wanted to be back here with him, and though she could hardly believe it he had wanted to be reunited with her too. Tear pricked at her bicolored eyes and Siren cried quietly into his fur. She didn’t want to go back, she just wanted to be with Chi.
