Strides in the right direction

Life really was different when he was beside Void, he felt so much more real, like his life meant something in the bigger scheme of the world For a long time he could easily lose himself in thinking about the vast infinite sky above and how tiny and insignificant he was within this massive world. Life was dark and uncertain with Plague, but when the man was at Void’s side everything was different. The light was brighter, their mundane task of searching became extraordinary and his outlook was completely changed.

Plague leaned into Void’s easy affection, and dismissed his thought about the sense to his feelings because he felt the same. Their day was harsh, they found no sign of his family. However the pair of them were together, and that made every action worthy of note. The love that blossomed between them put a new lens on Void’s blue and lavender eyes. The star speckled man didn’t think he had ever worn a smile for so long before and he didn’t even mind the way his face was sore because of it.

Void couldn’t help as he leaned into Plague’s sweet affection. He wrapped his neck around his pale features in a gentle embrace as Plague reminded him of reality. Dark ears fell to his skull in shame, he hadn’t yet mentioned Plague to anyone. He was his perfect secret. Void wasn’t ashamed of his relationship, but he still felt guilt that he was exploring this new experience when his focus should have been wholly on Eulogy and his siblings.

”They don’t know.” He said softly, worried Plague would think he was ashamed of him and everything happening to them. Their visits had been so sparse so far Plague’s scent didn’t stay on his pelt very long so Spirit and Gloom had yet to ask, and Void had yet to have a perfect moment to tell them. He was going to have to sooner than later, especially with his help over the next week. ”I hope you aren’t upset.” He continued softly.
