Is love still on the table

Plague could feel the strain rolling off of Void in waves. He knew how much this journey and this search had meant to him and to go so long with no results... It was easy to understand how difficult that would be. He wished there was something else he could do to help, anything he could possibly do to either speed the progress along or ease this burden Void had put onto himself. It was just his nature to be the support for those few wolves he held dear - it was the same reason he had dedicated his life to supporting Venom and, by proxy, Ashen as a whole. With Venom it had been an obvious choice. She was his sister, his blood. Very little mattered more to him than his siblings. In fact, nothing had until Void entered his life and now this love was quickly over taking all of his attention. After a moment he pulled away just enough to lift his face away from Void's neck. He brought his paw up to the man's delicately marked face, resting his paw on Void's cheek as he gently turned his stunning gaze to meet his. His expression was serious, but still understanding and kind. "Keep going. Don't give up on her yet." In a way it was hard for him to say since all he wanted was for Void to come home to him, but he also knew what the monochrome man needed to hear. "I know that you'll never be content until you've turned every stone... and perhaps not even then, but... I want you to be at peace with the results - no matter what happens." Of course he knew that at the end of all of this they could still turn up empty handed, but there was something to be said about feeling like you had done everything you could possibly do. He smiled softly, letting his paw fall away from his cheek and gently pressed his nose to Void's as he added, "And I don't want you to feel guilty about taking time for yourself. What you're doing is hard. Searching for your mother, caring for your siblings... You need to take care of yourself for them... For me. If you burn yourself out you'll be no good to anyone... If taking care of yourself includes spending a bit of time with me then I certainly wouldn't complain." He chuckled and gave Void a soft kiss, hoping that he would take the words to heart. |
