Strides in the right direction

Void had endured a lot of turmoil when he was younger, and it felt like he still faced those same trials. He hadn’t gotten past them and relived his nightmares over and over. He still had no idea where his mother and missing siblings were. All he had in the world was his two siblings, and now Plague. The one who took his life and flipped everything he knew upside down. Void didn’t really know the feeling of emotions until he met Plague, he brought out the best of him. Though he felt his guilt and worry so much stronger now, he felt like it was completely worth it for the feeling of love and adoration. Not only for Plague but in the way he loved his family. Void had a new appreciation for his siblings and the struggles they shared.

Plague reminded him softly about what he wanted, just for Void’s happiness. They slowed even more, Plague brushed against him and nuzzled against his neck. The star marked Destruction couldn’t help his grin, and aimed a kiss on Plague’s forehead. ”I want the same for you.” Void couldn’t have predicted how fast he had fallen for the ivory man. Now he couldn’t imagine his life without him, even with only their sparse visits Void knew this. Nothing felt more right than being together. Even now he felt excited butterflies rising up in his belly, Void adored Plague.

Their pace slowed so they might enjoy every rare moment together. Plague found Void’s blue and lavender gaze, already reminding him of the return he’d have to make to Ashen’s borders. Void pushed the thought from his mind as Plague continued, and his eyes widened in pleasant surprise. He knew Plague was a talented warrior, he’d said as much and his toned form was even further proof. His grin widened and Void flashed pearly teeth, ”Your opponent doesn’t stand a chance.” He promised with a chuckle as he bumped his shoulder against Plague’s.

Was this pride that he felt? The swelling he felt in his heart as he thought of Plague’s impressive form standing at attention next to his Empress. He stopped again, unable to take his gaze from Plague as he grinned, astounded at the man he’d found. ”What is it about you?” He asked again, the familiar phrase he’d said over the cliffs as Plague stole his heart. Void wanted to get lost in those forest green eyes forever, but the fact they’d be separated again continued to haunt him.
