Plague could feel the conflicted emotions rolling off of Void in waves. It was strange - he had never felt in tune with anyone else's emotions until he met Void. Even is sisters were often a mystery to him, but it felt like he could read Void like a book. He could tell that he was happy at the news, but there was still that underlying guilt and worry that creased the male's features. He didn't respond right away when Void began to stumble through broken words, instead listening and leaning into each touch that he received. He could understand why Void was torn since his own tear between what he wanted and the duty to his family had caused the same sort of pull on himself. He wished he could fix everything for Void to relieve that worry and stress, but that was something that was just out of his reach. But hearing that Void wanted to share his life with him... That was enough to make him want to move the world to make their desires possible. "I want to share my life with you too," he replied after a moment, his own deep tones soft and filled with emotion as well. He leaned his forehead into Void's with a heavy sigh, letting his eyes close as well. It would have been easy to give in to his craving to keep Void to himself and start convincing the handsome man to stay, but that's not what Void needed. Even as he spoke he could feel the heart ache it caused, but he managed to get the words out all the same. "But not till you're ready. When you're ready... I'll be waiting for you." When every minute felt like an eternity without him that felt like a daunting task to accomplish, but Void was worth it. He was worth every ounce of effort and heart ache. Letting his forehead slip away from Void's, he dipped his head down to press his face into the fur on Void's neck while his foreleg came up to wrap around the speckled man's shoulders. He desperately wanted to keep Void from leaving again. Every fiber of his being worried that if he let Void go then he wouldn't know when or if he would see him again. It was the unknown that bothered him most. "Just... don't stay away too long, alright?" he asked after a moment, hoping that would be enough of a compromise for himself to ease some of that worry. |
