without you

Indigo held tightly to Aslatiel, feeling more at home with her in his arms than he even felt when they were in the Armada. This was all he wanted, holding her close to feel like he was whole. Aslatiel was his other half, they were very different from one another but in that way completed each other as well. These moments would be treasured over the next half a year, he’d hold tightly to the memories as he held tightly to her now. She was right though, they had to go through this. They had their own responsibilities at home and they weren’t near ready to set off on their own. Not that Indigo thought they couldn’t make it on their own, but for now this was the way. Secret.. ish meetings while they waited to come of age.

”Should we meet back here?” He whispered into her ear as he nuzzled against her cheek. She was small and fast but he was massive and could cover miles easily with his long gait. If they met in the middle there would be less time between when they saw one another again. They already knew the privacy they could have here. Their actions could be done in secrecy with no worry about who would know or see them together.

Indy was still uncertain of the future, but he was slowly realizing the idea. He felt the excitement and temptation with each touch and kiss, but the young boy wasn’t ready even if his sister was. Her words returned his affections, and hinted again at the intimacy they would one day share, but for now Indigo just wanted her here, beside him. Forever. ”More than anyone.” He returned and squeezed her lightly, feeling the time slip through his paws.
