Must Have Been the Wind

Indigo wasn’t always so forward, but in this instance he knew he wanted to spend some more time with Cosette. The pair of them had only just met and he didn’t want his best friend to be a stranger. He said he was going to take care of her and Indigo would not shirk his duties. Even if he was eager for the sun to make its return. Her soft voice tried to comfort him, assuring himself as much as her he was sure, that they would one day be warm. Indy chuckled softly, glad to bask in her optimism. It was a virtue he was highly lacking.

She didn’t hesitate to accept his offer either, with a quick nod of her head and no argument from where he wished her to be. Indigo would gladly let her drape herself over his shoulders, she enjoyed the warmth but so did he. ”Me too.” He returned with a grin as he shifted, lowering himself so she could make herself comfortable on his back.

”Have you decided on a den yet?” He asked cautiously, he hadn’t really made himself at home yet either. Indigo still wasn’t sure how to make himself here. ”If you haven’t um..” He honestly hadn’t gotten this far into the conversation in his head, but he still wanted to press on no matter how dumb he sounded. ”I wonder if we could look together. I never decided on a real den.” Indigo had come to terms with the fact that he was lonely, the feeling dissipated when he was with Cosette but seemed to intensify on his own. If he always had her available he could both keep an eye on her, and more selfishly keep her close for his heart’s sake.
