pull me like the tide

He could feel Plague hold to him as they lingered close together while they could. All too swiftly distance would grow between them physically. Void felt with more certainty the longer he held him that his heart would remain here in the man’s protection. Falling so fast, rushing into his affections, everything pressing against them, it was easy to feel overwhelmed. Through all of it though he felt the strong pull towards the pale coated prince. He wanted so badly to remain here, consumed by Plague’s presence. Void wanted to stay and get lost in his forest like gaze. However much he wished to indulge in his desire to be close, his duty to his family would remain his strongest driving force.

Plague was very much aware of this, and even as Void’s thoughts drifted to his mother the other man was pulling away reluctantly. Void felt a pang in his chest, feeling just as Plague did, wanting nothing more than to hide away together and forget the world. They both knew that was impossible though, and with effort Void forced himself to his paws. He showed great force of will as he refrained from leaning too far into Plague’s sweet kiss, he’d let the affection sustain him until they could meet again. This kind of love felt so foreign, but familiar at the same time. He wanted to explore the emotions more fully as they grew deeper with every meeting.

Dark ears fell to his head as Plague spoke again, reminding him that there were wolves waiting on him. His siblings, not strong enough to be without him. Plague had his pack and his family to support him, and Void wouldn’t have to worry about his well being like he did his own kin. Still, the temptation to be stolen away was great. Which only built upon his guilty feelings. He tried to smile as their time together dwindled to nothing.

”Soon.” He looked into Plague’s endless gaze once more, the corners of his lips pulling back into a sad smile as he swiftly stole away a final kiss. As soon as their lips met he was pulling away, he couldn’t stand another goodbye so without dwindling any longer he raced towards his siblings and their camp. He’d hide away his heart until he could be in Plague’s arms again.
